			rather see Julian take care of

			Chief, I know you're worried. But 
			the Prophets are leading the 
			Emissary on this path for a 
			reason...

	Kira gets support from an unexpected quarter.

					WORF

					WORF
			What I believe in is faith. 
			Without it there can be no 
			victory. If the captain's faith 
			is strong, he will prevail.


					DAX
			That's not much to bet his life 
			on.

					KIRA
			You're wrong. Faith is 
			everything.

	O'Brien and Dax exchange a worried look.

					O'BRIEN
			I hope you're right, major... I
			hope you're right.

			Let him see with your eyes. Lift the 
			veil of darkness that obscures his 
			path.
