      DEEP SPACE: "In the Hands... " - REV. 04/06/93 - ACT FIVE      63.

78   INT. OPS

	It's late at night now... a skeleton crew is in charge... in 
	fact all we see is one Bajoran supernumerary in the background 
	and she quickly moves out of sight... Sisko arrives, 
	exhausted, on the Turbolift, reacts as he sees Kira sitting 
	alone at her station at the table... staring ahead in 
	thought... trying to make some sense out of all this... He 
	moves beside her, lays a hand on her shoulder which breaks 
	her trance.  She looks up at him and he sits beside her.  
	It's a gentle, subdued moment between them.

					SISKO
			Neela insists she acted alone.  Unless 
			you want to consider the prophets co-
			conspirators.

					KIRA
			She'll never tell us the truth.  
			We'll never be able to prove Winn 
			was involved.

					SISKO
				(beat, studying her)
			You okay?

					KIRA
				(sighs)
			Okay... ?  I've forgotten "okay."  
			Haven't seen "okay" in what seems 
			like years.
				(beat)
			I've been sitting here thinking.  
			Last year at this time, I was 
			fighting the Cardassians in some 
			nameless swamp.  If you'd've 
			stopped by and told me in just one 
			year, they'd be gone, and I'd be 
			wearing a uniform, up here in 
			charge of protecting some 
			wormhole...

					SISKO
			... protecting your celestial temple...

					KIRA
				(beat)
			I envied Vedek Winn because she was 
			a true believer... I wanted my faith 
			to be as strong as hers.
