3A   SISKO, DAX AND BASHIR

	sitting at a table. As he serves them three tumblers 
	of brandy:

					NOG
			Here you are...

	Sisko looks at the drinks, surprised and pleased.

					SISKO
			How'd you get your hands on
			Saurian Brandy?

					BASHIR
			In the middle of a war, no less.

					NOG
			It's a busy Starbase.
				(smiles)

			I may be a cadet, but I'm still a
			Ferengi.

					DAX
				(raising her glass)
			Lucky for us.

	Nog moves off with the tray, crossing past the door, 
	which OPENS to admit O'BRIEN. He's carrying an empty 
	CANISTER about three feet long. He approaches Sisko's 
	table to present it to him. When the crew sees him, 
	they start to gather around to watch.

					O'BRIEN
			Excuse me, captain.

	When Sisko sees the canister in O'Brien's hand, he 
	immediately knows what it is and what is expected of 
	him. Our people are about to act out what has become 
	a ritual of sorts.

					O'BRIEN
			The power cell from the phaser
			array, sir. We used it up on the
			last mission.

	Sisko takes the cannister, holds it out for everyone to 
	see.

					SISKO
			Take a good look at this, people.
			It says something about this ship.
