					SISKO
			It's useless...

	He swings it away in frustration.

					SISKO
			There's no way for us to figure out 
			where we are... or where we're 
			going...

	They look at each other for a long moment, neither wanting 
	to admit defeat... finally...

					SISKO
			We'd better contact the station, let 
			them know they're going to have to 
			come get us...

	Sisko takes out the portable com unit, starts to work it.  
	Jake watches, dejected... After a moment...

					JAKE
				(crestfallen)
			We were so close... another day and 
			we would've reached the Denorias 
			Belt.

					SISKO
			Hey, we did pretty well making it as 
			far as we did...

	Sisko works the unit... Jake sees that he seems concerned.

					JAKE
			Is something wrong?

					SISKO
			The station's not responding...

					JAKE
			Is the com unit damaged?

					SISKO
				(working the unit)
			Not as far as I can see...

	Sisko considers for a moment, then realizes...

					SISKO
			Maybe they haven't received the 
			message yet...
