					O'BRIEN
				(off console)   
			We're picking up a subspace   
			magneton pulse... bearing zero-  
			nine-zero, mark one-one-five.
				(works)   
			The Bopak system.

					BASHIR  
			What's a magneton pulse?

					O'BRIEN   
			It's a burst of polarized magnetic   
			energy... it's usually produced by   
			a damaged warp core.

					BASHIR   
			So there could be a ship in   
			trouble?

					O'BRIEN   
			Possibly.
				(beat)   
			Let's have a look.

	The Runabout entering orbit of a planet.

8    INT. RUNABOUT (OPTICAL)

	O'Brien and Bashir studying the readings on the 
	console.

					O'BRIEN    
			I'm having trouble pinpointing    
			the source of the magneton    
			pulse... too much EM interference    
			in the atmosphere. But it's    
			definitely down there somewhere.

					BASHIR
				(off monitor)    
			According to our records, Bopak    
			Three is uninhabited... the    
			nearest Dominion outpost is six    
			weeks away... and this system is    
			well off the established trade    
			routes in the Gamma Quadrant.

	O'Brien frowns at the monitor for a moment.
