	The original title of this episode was "Ritual Sacrifice".
	The title is theatre jargon for a list of the characters in a play, usually accompanied by a brief description of each. It implies the 'acting out' of characters by the main staff that occurs in the episode. Literally, the title translates as: persons of the drama.
	While Sisko is under the influence of the probe, he builds an alien clock. That clock becomes a permanent fixture in his office and is seen in many episodes afterwards.
	Cirroc Lofton (Jake Sisko) does not appear in this episode.
	Near the end of the episode - when the telepathic energy gets sucked out of the cargo bay doors - Sisko's com badge magically appears in one scene and then is gone in the next scene. This is when he is holding onto the cargo container.
