The Defiant could have used one of its shuttles--it has at least two; it
could have docked with Eddington's ship; it could have <towed> Eddington's
ship back to DS9.

equiped the transporters, as was established in "Pre-emptive Strike."

This had nothing to with the Transporters at all, this was them making
use of the new Holo-Communicator(or what ever the damn thing is
called). My question is; did you and me watch the same episode??? They
used that damn new Holo-Communicator how many times? Six... seven? I
know they used it once for Odo a few times for Eddington and atleast
once for the other captin that was Gunning for Eddington. Even with out
counting the number of times they(producer/writer(s)whomever) were
trying to push this New tech you had to have noticed that it was very
clearly mentioned and explained, and ever time they stoped talking the
person(who was standing in a small area that was highlighted by the
projecters) turned and puched buttons that we couldn't see. Further
more the fade-in and fade-outs looked nothing like a transport beam. I
know that Eddington never actually beamed onto the Defiant so what the
Hell are you talking about? Do mean how they finally got him back to
DS9? We don't know how long they were there and it doesn't really
matter. Let's say the ship landed(small enough), let's say they took a
shuttle(which they can have a few of) or let's say they got the Damn
Transporters fixed. As I said, what's it matter????
