	The Pope is telling her to go to church, and despite 
	herself, Kira finds that she feels compelled to comply.

	As the wormhole opens.

21   INT. SISKO'S QUARTERS 

	Sisko stands at the window, thoughtfully watching the 
	wormhole. The LIGHTS in the room are DIM, and he's 
	taken off his uniform jacket. After a beat, the RUMBLE 
	and SHUDDER. It subsides and a moment later, the door 
	CHIMES.

					SISKO
			Yes.

	The door OPENS to reveal Jake. He acts like he's just 
	dropping by, but the truth is he's been worried about 
	his dad ever since they were on Bajor.

					SISKO
			Jake-o.

					JAKE
			You're up late.

					SISKO
			So are you.

	Sisko studies his son, senses he's troubled.

					SISKO
			What's on your mind?
