	Beat.

					EZRI
			Kshshh.

					SISKO
			I gave you an order, lieutenant.

					EZRI
			Don't worry, sir. I'll find him.

21   INT. OPS

	Sisko slaps the Ops table in frustration.

					KIRA
			We could send the Defiant to
			bring her back.

	Sisko considers for a long beat.

					SISKO
			No. Let her go.

					KIRA
				(surprised)
			Captain?

					SISKO
			Send her a copy of the Defiant's
			sensor logs. No sense in her
			searching the same area we did.

					KIRA
			Aye, sir.

	Kira moves to another panel. Odo turns to Sisko.

					ODO
			Do you think there's any chance
