					ODO
			Can you compensate for the 
			interference by using pattern 
			enhancers?

					COMPUTER VOICE

			not function in a polarized ionization 
			field.

			transporter lock in this kind of 
			ionization field?

			distress signal to Deep Space Nine.

					COMPUTER VOICE
			Unable to comply.  Communications 
			systems are inoperable due to 
			atmospheric interference.

					ODO
				(not giving up)
			In that case, launch a communications 
			probe and instruct it to begin a 
			continuous broadcast of our 
			whereabouts as soon as it clears the 
			atmosphere.

					ODO
