			We'll have to preserve the neural
			signatures of everyone on that

			person's neural signature, much
			less five?

	Eddington looks over the information on the monitor.

					EDDINGTON
				(desperate)
			I don't think we have any choice.
			Computer -- I need to store all
			data currently in the transporter
			pattern buffer. Where can I save
			it?

					COMPUTER VOICE
			Deep Space Nine has insufficient
			computer memory to save that
			quantity of data.

	An ALARM goes off on the transporter console. Odo
	moves to it.

					ODO
				(off monitor)
			The pattern buffer is beginning to
			lose coherence... the patterns will
			start to degrade any second now.

					EDDINGTON
				(gets an idea)
			Computer, what if we wiped all
			computer memory in every system on
			the station and then stored the
			patterns?

					COMPUTER VOICE
			The results of such an action
			cannot be predicted.

					ODO
