					ANARA
			I've learned a little about laser-
			induced fusion... not much more than 
			the basics...

					O'BRIEN
			It's a bloody inefficient system and 
			if I could, I'd trade it in for a 
			Federation model tomorrow.  But it's 
			all we've got.  Do me a favor and 
			just keep an eye on the exhaust plasma 
			temperature...

	She acknowledges, goes to a console...

					O'BRIEN
			Computer, increase deuterium flow by 
			five percent to reaction chamber 
			two...

					COMPUTER VOICE
			Procedure is not recommended.

					O'BRIEN
			Listen, I've had enough of your 
			opinions, computer, just do it.

					COMPUTER VOICE
			Procedure is not recommended.  Consult 
			Cardassian operational guidelines, 
			paragraph two-fifty-four-A, now on 
			screen.

	O'Brien blinks as he looks at a page of a tech manual that 
	appears on a monitor...

					O'BRIEN
			I don't want to read your tech manual, 
			dammit.  Fine.  We'll do it ourselves.

	Hits some switches... to Anara --

					O'BRIEN
			Re-initializing reactor two... 
			directing plasma stream to conduits 
			one forty-three... one-forty-four... 
			and one forty --

					ANARA
				(interrupting)

			Chief O'Brien...
				(looking at her console)
			The power flow from reactor two 
			has just been shut down...
