					SISKO
			That's open to debate.  But what's 
			not debatable is that this prophecy 
			has no place on the Bridge of the 
			Defiant, especially in front of the 
			Cardassians.  At the moment they 
			aren't aware of it... and I'd like 
			to keep it that way.

	Kira takes a moment, realizes he has a point.

					KIRA
			You're right.  It won't happen again.

	Now that that's out of the way, Sisko relaxes a bit... sits 
	down on the lower bunk, willing to listen to what she has to 
	say.

					SISKO
			I take it, Major, that you believe 
			the prophecy is coming true?

	Kira thinks for a moment... then deals with the issue head 
	on.

					KIRA
			Yes, I do.

					SISKO
			Then you think I should call the 
			mission off?
