DEEP SPACE: "A Man Alone" REV. FINAL 09/28/92 - ACT FOUR      40.

63   INT. INFIRMARY

	Close on the bio-regenerative field... within it, the jelly-
	like mass has expanded and stretched the limits of the 
	field... there is a monitor that displays a quick changing 
	automatic display of readings... there is a Bajoran nurse in 
	the background preparing a much larger containment field...

					BASHIR (O.S.)
			It's growing exponentially... we're 
			going to have to increase the 
			metabolic field energy...

	Pulling back to reveal Sisko and Dax watching...

					SISKO
			Just what is it that's growing in 
			there... ?

					DAX
				(studying the monitor)
			Aren't those DNA patterns humanoid, 
			Julian?

					BASHIR
				(scientifically excited)
			That's what they look like to me... 
			but there's a genetic drift I can't 
			put my finger on...

					SISKO
				(musing aloud)
			What the hell was Ibudan up to?

					BASHIR
			I'm afraid we'll have to wait to see 
			what this becomes before we have a 
			clue...
				(to the Bajoran nurse)
			You can transfer it to the larger 
			field now...

	As the nurse acknowledges to Bashir whose head has
	turned away from Sisko and Dax, Sisko turns to Dax --

					SISKO
			Care for some lunch?

	Before she can answer, Bashir, without looking, says--

					BASHIR
			Sure.
