			Are you familiar with Rakantha 
			Province?

	Kira's caught offstride by the abrupt change of subject.

			It's... a farming community.

					WINN
			And it used to be one of the most 
			productive agricultural regions on 
			Bajor.  But as you know, the 
			Cardassians poisoned much of our 
			farmlands before they left, and 
			Rakantha has been mostly barren 
			wasteland ever since.
				(beat)
			After years of research, the 
			agricultural ministry has finally 
			developed reclamators which can 
			detoxify the soil and make it fertile 
			again.

					KIRA
			This is all very interesting, but 
			what does this have to do with me?
