	Reactions, they look at Sisko...

					SISKO
			Dax... when did our sensors first 
			pick up traces of the rupture...

					DAX
				(not certain where 
				he's going)
			You were there, Benjamin... when we 
			were first trying to figure this 
			whole thing out...

					SISKO
			And if I remember correctly you said 
			your previous scans hadn't picked up 
			any anomalies at all...

					DAX
				(acknowledges)
			I thought that whatever was out there 
			might have been too small for the 
			scanners to identify...

					SISKO
				(finishing her thought)
			So you imagined that we might be 
			dealing with a subspace rupture which 
			is exactly what it turned out to 
			be...

					DAX
				(catching on)
			That is what I... imagined...

					SISKO
			And once you learned about the rift 
			that destroyed the Hanoli system, we 
			all imagined that this might be 
			another one just like it...
				(beat)
			Mister O'Brien, drop the shields.

					O'BRIEN
			Sir?

					SISKO
			There is no rupture.  There is no 
			threat to this station.  Or this 
			system.  End red alert and drop the 
			shields!
