                            ACT ONE                             

	FADE IN:

8    EXT. SPACE - DEEP SPACE NINE (OPTICAL)

	The alien ship has docked.

9    INT. ALIEN COCKPIT

	It's a single pilot vessel.  The hatch opens and O'Brien 
	enters... looks around... there's no one there... O'Brien 
	reacts, hits his combadge...

					O'BRIEN
			O'Brien to Ops...

									INTERCUTTING:

10   INT. OPS

					SISKO
			Go ahead, Chief.

					O'BRIEN
			You didn't beam this fellow out when 
			I wasn't looking, did you?

					SISKO
			Negative.

					O'BRIEN
			Well, he's not in here.

	Sisko reacts, glances at Dax...

					DAX
			The sensors say he's still on board, 
			Chief.

11   INT. ALIEN SHIP

	O'Brien reacts, looks around... his hand goes to a small 
	hand phaser on his hip... but then he thinks again... He 
	again uses the tone of his voice to communicate friendship 
	and non-threat... Throughout their relationship, it's not 
	what O'Brien says that bridges the communication gap, but 
	how he says it...

					O'BRIEN
			Friend, if you're in here... you've 
			got nothing to worry about from me... 
			you understand?
