	Eddington laughs bitterly.

					EDDINGTON
				(sarcastic) 
			Your generosity of spirit touches 
			me.
				(a beat) 
			But you don't give a damn about 
			what happened to us. And I don't 
			give a damn about what happens to 
			you.

					SISKO
			I don't believe that. You may've 
			taken off the uniform, but you're 
			still a Starfleet officer. And 
			you don't want a war between the 
			Federation and the Dominion any 
			more than I do.

					EDDINGTON 
			What you want and what I want 
			doesn't really matter. There's 
			nothing either one of us can do to 
			stop those missiles from hitting 
			their targets. They're cloaked, 
			highly maneuverable, programmed to 
			change course at random. You'll 
			never find them.

	Sisko thinks this over.


					SISKO 
			All right. Maybe we can't locate 
			the missiles, but that doesn't
			mean we can't stop them. You 
			must've programmed in an abort 
			code, a way to deactivate the 
			missiles by remote.

					EDDINGTON 
			Even if there was such a thing... 
			you'd have to transmit it from the 
			launch site. And I don't think 
			you're going to find that, either. 
			No code, no launch site... I'm 
			afraid you're out of luck, 
			captain.
				(a self-satisfied smile) 
			Looks like everyone's out of luck.

	But Sisko doesn't look ready to give up just yet.

					SISKO 
			That's it? You're just going to 
			lie here and do nothing.
