					ALIXUS
			That's something each of us is going 
			to have to think about, isn't it...

					CASSANDRA
			Are you going to leave, Alixus?

					ALIXUS
			Speaking for myself...
				(pauses for dramatic 
				effect)
			... no, I'll never leave.  And I'll 
			never want to change what we have 
			here in our community.  It means too 
			much to me.

	The impact of this thought is quite emotional on these people.  
	It gives everyone a lot to think about.

					ALIXUS
				(to Sisko and O'Brien)
			While you're with us, you're welcome 
			to everything our community has to 
			offer.  The only thing we ask is 
			that you contribute.  We all work 
			for our supper here.  You'll be 
			surprised how much sweeter it tastes 
			when you do.

					SISKO
			We'll be happy to do our part.

					ALIXUS
			Joseph, find them some bunks...

	Joseph acknowledges and leads Sisko and O'Brien away... we 
	stay with Alixus and she watches them go, smiling maternally, 
	then wandering away separately with Vinod.

					ALIXUS
			Two more strong, healthy men, Vinod.  
			That could mean a lot to this 
			community.

	And as she considers that for a beat, they walk away and 
	we...

									FADE OUT.
