			I'll see what I can do.

	Sisko EXITS, leaving Dax to her work.

	Kira's at the table; Supernumeraries at their posts. 
	Sisko ENTERS through one of the doors under the 
	viewscreen.

					KIRA 
			Captain, I've got a message for 
			you from General Martok.

					SISKO
			Go ahead.

					KIRA 
			He's dispatched three squadrons of 
			Klingon attack cruisers to bolster 
			the defense perimeter around the 
			Dorala System.

					SISKO
			Good. I just hope they can hold 
			out until Starfleet can send 
			reinforcements.

					KIRA 
			The Klingons will hold out. 
			Martok will see to that.

	Sisko nods, rubs his tired eyes.

					KIRA 
			Long day?

					SISKO
			They keep getting longer.

					KIRA 
			You'll feel better in the morning.

	Off Sisko's look.

					KIRA 
			Once the Kai is off the station.
