Video conferencing. The final frontier.

Int. Enterprise Conference Room — Day

Picard and Riker sit facing the monitor. Riker has coffee. Picard has tea. It is Earl Grey (hot).

PICARD: Is it working?

RIKER: I think so. Are they dialing in?

PICARD: No. We’re dialing them.

RIKER: Oh right. Hang on.

Riker fumbles with the controls in the centre of the table. A loud voice comes out of the speakers and the command crew of DS9 appear on screen. Picard winces. Riker quickly turns down the volume.

SISKO (on-screen): ..ou hear me? Hello? Anyone there? Enterprise?

PICARD: Yes! We can hear you! Okay so in the room we have…

SISKO: Hello? Enterprise?

Picard looks at Riker. Riker fumbles with the controls again.

RIKER: Hello Sisko! Sisko?

SISKO: O’Brien I can see their lips moving

PICARD: Sisko can you hear us?! [Turning to Riker] He can’t hear us.

RIKER: I’ll ring IT.

Riker taps his comm badge and mumbles into it.
