Meanwhile, Commander Sisko called a meeting of all senior staff (plus Quark and Garak). They all wondered what could be going on because though they had hit a problem, there was nothing they could do. They didn't seem to be in any danger and the crew had been supplied with torches. Finally, the commander entered the room.
"Before I start, you don't have to look so worried, nothing's wrong."
This relieved the majority of their concerns, however it left an air of mystery around the commander. Not to mention the fact that he was grinning mischievously. This was a rare sight which immediately made the crew nervous. What was going on?
As his oldest friend (literally), Dax was the first to ask.
"Ben, what are you up to? I always get worried when you smile like that.
"Like what?"
"Don't act all innocent. You're up to something."
"I don't know what you're talking about. I called you all here because we have a change in the focus of our mission."
"What kind of change", asked Kira suspiciously. Like Jadzia, she didn't trust the look on Sisko's face.
"As you are aware the school children are using this mission as an opportunity for a school trip. Both our mission and their school work has been compromised by the lack of access to most of the main computer. Therefore, it has been decided that we will use what we know to assist them in their studies."
