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.
