	6x13 ONE LITTLE SHIP Dax, O'Brien and Bashir board a Runabout that is shrunken to four inches long by an anomaly.

Sisko recruits Garak to manufacture evidence from Cardassia that will bring the Romulans into the war.
	6x20 HIS WAY Bashir shows off his new Holosuite program, a 1960s Vegas singer named Vic Fontaine. Vic immediately senses Odo's unrequited love for Kira.
