					SISKO
			There's only way to find out... Dax?


					DAX
			It won't be hard to find Rakhar.  
			According to the logs, Croden was 
			picked up in a damaged shuttlecraft 
			about three light years from the 
			wormhole.  There aren't many M class 
			planets in that area.

					SISKO
				(acknowledges, rising)
			You're with me.  Major, as long as 
			the Miradorn ship is here, there's a 
			threat to Croden... I don't want to 
			have to tell his people that he was 
			killed in our custody.

					KIRA
			I'll have Odo increase security.

	And as Sisko and Dax EXIT into Ops...
