	FADE IN:

34   EXT. SPACE - RIO GRANDE AND ORINOCO (OPTICAL)

	Parallel in space.

35   INT. RIO GRANDE

	Kira and Dax are on board.

					KIRA
				(checking console 
				readings, curious)
			No sign of resistance.  None of the 
			onboard weapons have been fired...

					DAX
			But their logs have been erased.  
			Someone else must have been here...

					KIRA
			Maybe Sisko and O'Brien beamed off 
			before the ship was boarded...
				(beat, second thought)
			But then why would someone send the 
			Runabout off at warp... why wouldn't 
			they keep it or destroy it...

					DAX
				(checking panels)
			I think they were trying to destroy 
			it.

					KIRA
			How can you tell...

					DAX
			The hull's been exposed to high 
			temperatures and intense gamma 
			radiation...
				(punching panels)
			... if we retrace the Rio Grande's 
			course... it takes us right back 
			to...
				(reaction as she gets 
				the results, looks 
				at Kira who sees 
				them too)
