					SISKO
				(to Kira)
			Scan their ship, Major.  Let's see 
			what they're carrying.

	Kira works the proper controls.

					KIRA
			Our scanners can't penetrate their 
			hull.

					O'BRIEN
				(off monitor)
			No wonder.  It's composed of a sensor 
			reflective material.  They obviously 
			value their privacy.

					SISKO
			Chief, you and Gul Dukat remain here.  
			Major, you're with me.  Let's go see 
			if it's their privacy or their guilt 
			they're trying to protect.

					O'BRIEN
			Sorry, Commander, but you can't 
			transport over.  They just raised 
			their shields.

					DUKAT
			You're wasting time.  Xepolite ships 
			can reach a maximum speed of warp 
			nine point eight.  If they decide to 
			run, we'll never catch them.

					KIRA
				(temper flaring)
			So what would you suggest?

	Dukat's happy for an opportunity to instruct.

					DUKAT
			I would breach their shields with my 
			phasers and destroy their bridge.

					KIRA
				(that figures)
			Killing everyone there.
