DEEP SPACE: "Babel" REV. 10/15/92 - ACT TWO            27.

32   CONTINUED:

					ODO
			I caught him using a replicator in 
			one of the vacant crew quarters.  He

					SISKO
			And contaminating all his customers.

	A long beat as the implications sink in.  Bashir takes a 
	reading with his medical tricorder --

					BASHIR
			If this virus is present in a large

	Bashir rises.

33   NEW ANGLE

	As he quickly crosses over to Dax's station.  He feeds the 
	information from the tricorder into a monitor.

					SISKO
			What is it, Doctor?

					BASHIR
			I just took an air sample.

34   INSERT MONITOR

	We recognize the same organism we saw earlier in the 
	Infirmary.

35   RESUME SCENE

	Sisko recognizes it too.

					SISKO
