					EDDINGTON
			You wanted to see me, sir?

					SISKO
			It's about Ambassador Krajensky.  I 
			know Starfleet doesn't intend for 
			this to be a combat mission, but 
			just in case the Tzenkethi have other 
			ideas, I want to make sure the 
			ambassador is kept out of harm's 
			way.

					EDDINGTON
			Yes, sir.  I'll see to it that if 
			hostilities do occur, the ambassador 
			is escorted off the bridge.

	This is what Sisko wanted, but he knows it won't be as easy 
	as Eddington makes it sound.

					SISKO
			He won't like it.

					EDDINGTON
				(smiles)
			I won't let that bother me.

					SISKO
			Very good, commander.  That'll be 
			all.

	Eddington starts to leave, then turns around.  There's 
	something on his mind.

					EDDINGTON
			Captain, I just want to say that I 
			agree with what Chief O'Brien said.  
			About your promotion.  It's about 
			time.

					SISKO
			I appreciate the sentiment.  But you 
			know, it doesn't really change 
			anything.  I have the assignment I 
			want, the crew I want... the rank 
			doesn't make much difference.

					EDDINGTON
			You'd be surprised.  Let's face it... 
			People don't enter Starfleet to become 
			commanders... or admirals for that 
			matter.
