					DUKAT 
			Dead. A piece of shrapnel hit him 
			in the head as we were carrying 
			you into the shuttle.

					SISKO
			Any other survivors?

					DUKAT 
			I saw a few escape pods leaving 
			the ship just before it exploded, 
			but... I had my hands full after 
			that trying to keep us in one 
			piece. Our engines were damaged 
			by the shockwave. I managed to 
			set us down here -- wherever here 
			is -- but that shuttle's never 
			going to reach orbit again.

	Dukat moves over to the com system.

					DUKAT
				(continuing) 
			The shuttle's distress beacon was 
			damaged, but I think I've managed 
			to repair it.

	He points to the com system where several lights are 
	BLINKING.

					DUKAT 
			So now we wait until someone hears 
			our signal.

					SISKO
			Whose signal are you transmitting? 
			Starfleet or the Dominion?

					DUKAT 
			It's a general distress call. 
			Whoever gets here first will find 
			one comrade in arms... and one 
			prisoner. That's fair, isn't it?

					SISKO
			Fair enough.

	Sisko inspects the cast on his arm.
