DEEP SPACE: "Invasive Procedures" - REV. 08/03/93 - ACT TWO    24.

33   CONTINUED:(2)

					T'KAR
			Enough stalling.
				(to Yeto)
			Take them to the Infirmary.

	Bashir looks like he still won't cooperate.

					SISKO
				(quietly)
			Do as he says, Doctor.  This is no 
			time to be a hero.

	Bashir goes with them.

34   NEW ANGLE

	Dax hangs back, lingering near Sisko and Kira for a second.

					KIRA
			This isn't over, Dax.  I promise you 
			that.

	Dax smiles slightly, letting Kira know she appreciates her 
	support, then turns to Sisko.

					SISKO
			Dax...

					DAX
				(anticipating what 
				he's going to say)
			I know, Benjamin... you'll do all 
			you can.  But just in case it isn't 
			enough, I want you to know...
				(beat, searches for 
				the words, smiles)
			It's been fun.

	Sisko nods, too torn with emotion to respond.  Dax allows 
	Yeto to lead her out of the room.  Bashir follows her, as 
	does Verad.  Mareel stops Verad as he heads for the door and 
	kisses him softly on the forehead.

					MAREEL
			Good luck.

					VERAD
				(proudly)
			It won't be long now.  And then you'll 
			see.  Everything will be just as I 
			promised.
