			I know everyone wants to go home, 
			but if we're going to take a look 
			at this planet, this is our only 
			chance.

			through the interference?

			and it'll be smooth sailing...

					SISKO 
			All right. We'll make a quick 
			survey.

	O'Brien frowns, turns to his console.

			But if all we detect is some 
			fungus, we're not beaming down.

	As she sets to work...

			What if it's a smart fungus?

	Off Sisko's playful scowl...
