            DEEP SPACE: "Q-Less" REV. 11/10/92 - ACT FOUR           40.
                           ACT FOUR                             

	FADE IN:

47A  EXT. DEEP SPACE NINE - STOCK (OPTICAL)

					SISKO (V.O.)
			Station Log.  Stardate xxxxx.x.  The 
			station's power is continuing to be 
			drained and converted into gravitons.  
			At this rate, our life support systems 
			will fail in fourteen hours.

48   INT. OPS (OPTICAL)

	O'Brien, Dax, Sisko and Kira at the Operations table.

					O'BRIEN
			Sir, we'll never find the source of 
			the power drain using these bloody 
			Cardassian internal sensors.  They're 
			just not sensitive enough.

					SISKO
			Is there anyway to recalibrate them?

					O'BRIEN
			It would take days.  We just don't 
			have the time.

					DAX
			What if we make the power drain easier 
			to detect?
				(on reactions)
			If we flood the station with ionized 
			tridium gas, we should be able to 
			trace the particle flow to the source.

					O'BRIEN
			Tridium?  Isn't that pretty toxic.

					DAX
			Only when it's highly concentrated.  
			We would use a very small amount.
