					SISKO
				(not again)
			How do you know about Cardassia Four?

					O'BRIEN
			She told me all about it.

					SISKO
			Is there anyone on this station she 
			didn't tell?

					O'BRIEN
			I doubt she mentioned it to Quark.

					SISKO
			Well then, as far as Quark's 
			concerned, she's going to Lamenda 
			Prime to bring back mineral samples.

					O'BRIEN
			Very good, sir.

					SISKO
			Now, is there any way we can prevent 
			the Cardassian sensors from picking 
			up the runabout's signature?

	O'Brien immediately rattles off an answer.

					O'BRIEN
			I could modulate the engine's power 
			emissions, reconfigure the deflector 
			shield grid, and install field buffers 
			around the subspace emitter coil.  
			By the time I'm done, the Cardies 
			will think they're reading a Lissepian 
			transport.

					SISKO
			I see you've already given this a 
			bit of thought.

					O'BRIEN
				(faux surprise)
			I suppose I have at that.

	And as they share a smile...
