					COMPUTER VOICE
			Please enter security verification.

	O'Brien frowns and types in some information.

					COMPUTER VOICE
			Access denied.

	Off O'Brien's reaction.

39   INT. OPS

	O'Brien comes off the Turbolift and slowly approaches his 
	workstation... a few Supernumeraries are working on night 
	shift... they look up and casually acknowledge him... O'Brien 
	moves into the pit... pulls out a console, begins to run a 
	bypass... suddenly DeCurtis appears above him...

					DECURTIS
			Anything I can help you with, Chief?

					O'BRIEN
			Naw... just making sure those upper 
			pylons are in working condition by 
			morning...

					DECURTIS
				(smiles, with humor)
			You're an inspiration to us all.

	O'Brien grins without conviction and DeCurtis moves away... 
	O'Brien goes back to work.

					O'BRIEN (V.O.)
			There were several traps laid into 
			the computer subroutine, no doubt to 
			let someone know if I'd penetrated 
			their security lockout.  I wasn't 
			fooled for a minute and released the 
			protected files without any problem.

40   INT. HABITAT CORRIDOR

	O'Brien returning from Ops... passes a Supernumerary, nods 
	an acknowledgement... looks over his shoulder to see if the 
	crewman is looking at him.  He's not.
