DEEP SPACE: "Q-Less" REV. 11/05/92 - ACT ONE            14.

15   CONTINUED:

					O'BRIEN
			Yes Sir.  I ran a level one 
			diagnostic.  Everything checks out.  
			I can't explain it.  It's like 
			something tapped into the ship's 
			systems and drained them dry.

	He picks up his tools.  Sisko follows him out of the Runabout.

16   INT. AIR LOCK

	Sisko and O'Brien in motion.

					SISKO
			Tell me Chief, how well do you know 
			this Vash woman?

					O'BRIEN
			Hardly at all.  Only met her that 
			one time she was aboard the 
			Enterprise.

					SISKO
			What was she doing there?

	O'Brien is hesitant, choosing his words carefully in an 
	attempt to be discreet.

					O'BRIEN
			Well Sir, Vash and Captain Picard 
			were friends... close friends... if 
			you follow my meaning.  Seems they 
			met on Risa a few years back.

17   INT. CORRIDOR

	As they come out of the airlock.

					O'BRIEN
				(continuing, to Sisko)
			I figure she must be a special 
			woman... to be friends with the 
			Captain and all.

					SISKO
			Somehow she doesn't seem to be his 
			type.
