			There are twelve other children on 
			board... ranging from eight to 
			sixteen.  The problem is there's no 
			structured activity for them...
				(with compassion)
			Jake, don't you miss the schools you 
			used to go to... ?

					JAKE
				(quick, defensive, 
				and not true)
			No.
				(beat)
			I guess.  Studying alone with the 
			computer... it kinda gets boring 
			sometimes.

					KEIKO
			I've never actually been a teacher, 
			Commander... but it's something I've 
			always thought about doing...

	Sisko looks at her with admiration...

					SISKO
			Mrs. O'Brien... as a Starfleet 
			Commander and as a father, I think 
			this is a terrific idea.  What do 
			you need?

					KEIKO
			Some space...

					SISKO
			We'll find it...

					KEIKO
			Computers..

					SISKO
			You'll have them.

	Keiko is delighted... she rises to leave...
