			First Officer's Log, supplemental.  
			Somehow Sisko, Dax, and Bashir have 
			altered Earth's history.  We have no 
			choice but to send an away team into 
			the past, to try to find them, and to
			correct the changes to the timeline.  
			The only problem is, we're not exactly 
			sure where to look... or when.

8    INT. DEFIANT - TRANSPORTER ROOM (OPTICAL)

	ODO watches as O'BRIEN, in his civilian clothes from "THE 
	HOMECOMING," prepares to beam down.  O'Brien's being assisted 
	by the N.D. CREWMAN who was helping him in Part One.

			According to our computer simulations, 
			the degree of temporal displacement 
			is directly proportional to the number 
			of chroniton particles interacting 
			with the transporter beam.  
			Unfortunately, there's no way to 
			know the exact concentration of 
			particles at the time of the accident, 
			but I've narrowed it down to ten 
			possibilities, each one corresponding 
			to a different time frame.  One of 
			them has to be right.
				(a beat)
			We'll just have to hope we find the 
			right one before we run out of 
			chroniton particles.

	KIRA ENTERS, also dressed in civilian clothing.  She's got a 
	small gray bandage across the bridge of her nose, hiding her 
	ridges.  She's not wearing her earring.

			I feel ridiculous.

					ODO
			Well, it does effectively disguise 
			your Bajoran heritage.

					O'BRIEN
			If anyone asks, just say you broke 
			your nose.
