					O'BRIEN
			Coffee.  Jamaican blend.  Double 
			strong.  Double sweet.

	The replicator makes the coffee... he reaches down and takes 
	it out... takes a drink...

					O'BRIEN
			Time to Parada system, Computer...

					COMPUTER VOICE

	He moves to a monitor displaying a space grid with the blip 
	of other ship...

					O'BRIEN
			How much lead time do we have on the 
			Mekong...

					COMPUTER VOICE
			At current speeds, seven minutes, 
			four seconds...

					O'BRIEN
			That's gonna disappear in a hurry 
			once we drop out of warp...
				(beat, an idea)
			At least I get to choose where they 
			catch up...

	He sits down...

					O'BRIEN
			Computer, identify the largest planet 
			in the Parada system...

					COMPUTER VOICE
