After Dylan's image left Ops' main screen, Sisko turned to Kyra.

"Sorry," Major Kyra said, "but she is still getting to me."

"I can see that," Sisko said, "which is why I want you to go to Bajor and coordinate with the Bajoran defense ministry."

"No, Benjamin, I'll be fine."

"I don't doubt your sincerity, Major, but this is still a first contact situation with people from another universe, and it won't do if Captain Hunt and my XO's are trying to murder each other-"

"No, Benjamin, you don't have to worry about my professionalism. While one may question…the character … of Captain Hunt's second-in-command, you need not worry about me knocking her teeth out. Really. You can trust me. And I've never let you down."

Sisko sighed. "No you haven't. Fine." He turned to face the main screen. "Dax-"

Dylan's face reappeared on the big screen.

"…Never mind," Sisko said. "Captain Hunt, I believe we were discussing how to get our people back?"

"We'll have a ship ready to launch inside a half an hour."

"We'll stand by. Sisko out."
