					BASHIR (Cont'd)
			It could cause permanent damage to 
			your nervous system... it might even 
			kill you.

					O'BRIEN
			If the future happens the way I saw 
			it, a lot of people are going to be 
			killed when this station explodes.
				(to Sisko)
			It's a risk I'm willing to take.

					SISKO
			Even if you're able to initiate a 
			time jump, each time you've traveled 
			into the future, you've always gone 
			five hours... how do you propose to 
			shorten the length of the jump?

					O'BRIEN
			There might be a link between the 
			temporal frequency of the singularity 
			and the length of the timeshift.

					BASHIR
				(onto the idea)
			We might be able to calibrate the 
			decay constant of the isotopes we 
			inject you with to match the frequency 
			of the singularity... with some minor 
			adjustments it's possible we could 
			control how far you jump into the 
			future.

					O'BRIEN
			Exactly.

	Sisko thinks about this for a moment.

					SISKO
			All right.  But if you can't do it 
			within two hours, I'm going to begin 
			evacuating the station.

					O'BRIEN
			Understood.

	O'Brien and Bashir EXIT.
