					O'BRIEN
			Yeah, I figured as much.  Did the 
			security cameras in the lab give you 
			anything?

					ODO'S COM VOICE
			The security cameras stopped operating 
			for forty-three seconds at zero-three 
			hundred hours, five minutes... right 
			when the alarm sounded...

					O'BRIEN
			Stopped... you mean somebody turned 
			them off?

39   INT. SECURITY OFFICE (VPB)

	Working at panels on the security grid...

					SISKO
			More likely some kind of power 
			interruption... It might have affected 
			the security field around the lifeform 
			too... We're trying to analyze it 
			now...

40   INT. DARK CONDUIT

	O'Brien moving ahead cautiously... checking his tricorder...

					O'BRIEN
			Do the heat sensors in the lab show 
			any thermal deviation at the same 
			time?

					SISKO'S COM VOICE
			Almost a six degree increase during 
			the forty-three seconds...

					O'BRIEN
			But then back to normal after that.

					SISKO'S COM VOICE
			Affirmative.
