			sorrow if I ignored her warning.

					KASIDY

	to hear the answer to.

					KASIDY 
			What are you going to do?

	Sisko tries to put off saying what he's feeling.

			concerned, it must be for a good 
			reason.

					KASIDY 
			You're not answering my question.

			with you...

					KASIDY 
			Then be with me Ben.

					SISKO
			I can't... I can't go against the 
			Prophets...
