	And O'Brien wonders: bigger than preparing security for a 
	peace conference?

					O'BRIEN
			Bigger?

					SISKO
			All three upper pylons are down again.

					O'BRIEN
			That's impossible... I went over the 
			repair work yesterday... the pressure 
			locks seemed to be at maximum 
			efficiency...

					SISKO
			You'd better check again... we had 
			to tow a Bolian freighter to a lower 
			dock this morning...

					O'BRIEN
			It can't be anything that serious... 
			I rebuilt that entire subsystem 
			myself... I'll get on it right away...

	He rises...

					SISKO
				(with a smile)
			After your physical.

					O'BRIEN
			Yessir.
				(beat, pauses by the 
				door)
			By the way -- I noticed you and 
			Keiko... out in front of the school... 
			talking this morning.  Anything wrong?

					SISKO
			Oh... Jake's having some problems 
			with his grades.

					O'BRIEN
				(nods)
			Sorry to hear that.  Keiko's very 
			fond of the boy.  I'm sure she'll 
			work that much harder to help him, 
			sir.

					SISKO
			Yes, I'm sure she will.
