	Quark looks blankly at O'Brien.

			... What?

					KIRA
				(off panels, urgent)
			Chief, the Mekong just came back 
			through the wormhole... they're 
			showing damage...

	O'Brien moves quickly to his station... Sisko ENTERS from 
	his office having already seen the same readings... Quark 
	puts his fingers in his ears and rubs as he EXITS...

					SISKO
			Open a channel, Major... put them on 
			the screen...

21   ANGLE - INCLUDE THE VIEWSCREEN (OPTICAL)

	Dax and Arjin appear on the screen.

					SISKO
				(continuing)
			Are you all right, Dax?

					DAX
			Our power reserves are gone... we 
			could use a tow.

	Sisko looks to O'Brien who nods he's already on it...

					SISKO
			What happened?

					DAX
			Not exactly sure.  But we picked up 
			some kind of subspace seaweed on our 
			starboard nacelle... we couldn't get 
			rid of it without causing further 
			damage...

					O'BRIEN
			You can cut your engines, Lieutenant.  
			We'll bring you in to pad "D"...
