					SISKO 
			You do this?

					DUKAT 
				(nods) 
			You shattered most of the bones
			in your arm. There was a bone-
			regenerator in the medkit, but I'm

			least, but I was able to find 
			firewood and kindling, so there's 
			a good chance there's edible 
			vegetation out there somewhere.
