DEEP SPACE: "Q-Less" REV. 11/09/92 - ACT THREE           35.

					SISKO
			Decompression protocol - Raise the 
			confinement shields.

	O'Brien engages the necessary controls.

					O'BRIEN
			Shields up.

	The wind ceases abruptly.  The Ops staff regain their balance.

					SISKO
				(to Kira)
			Damage report.

					KIRA
				(consulting console)
			We've got a minor hull breach in one 
			of the upper bulkheads.

					O'BRIEN
			I'm getting reports of hull fractures 
			throughout the station.
				(checking monitors)
			Emergency systems appear to be 
			functioning.  Repair crews are 
			responding.

43   INT. CORRIDOR (OPTICAL)

	Dax uses a tricorder to examine a jagged hole in a bulkhead.  
	Sisko watches with interest.

					DAX
				(concerned)
			The breach was caused by some kind 
			of focused graviton pulse.

					SISKO
			Every time we've had a power drain, 
			it's been followed by an increase in 
			the graviton field.  If this continues 
			we could wind up with a breach in 
			one of our reactor cores.  We'd lose 
			half the station.

					DAX
			Maybe it's time to open negotiations 
			with Q?
