			in Quark's last night, and they 
			said they'd heard from a Vulcan 
			diplomat that the Romulans had 
			signed a non-aggression pact with 
			the Dominion.

					SISKO
			A lot of rumors float around at a 
			time like this, cadet. Just don't 
			forget the one hundred and 
			ninetieth Rule of Acquisition.

					NOG

			advice, sir.
