DEEP SPACE: "Playing God" - REV. 12/22/93 - ACT FIVE        54.

52   EXT. WORMHOLE - RUNABOUT (OPTICAL)

	virtually still inside the wormhole... without motion, we 
	can see hundreds of light yellow nodes surrounding them: 
	these are vertiron nodes... and they create for the runabout 
	an incredible minefield to traverse...

53   INT. RUNABOUT

	Blue light pouring in.

					ARJIN
			Now what.

	Dax moves back to her seat... taking readings...

					DAX
			Well, we can't stay here.  In forty-
			two minutes, that energy mass 
			expands... and once it intersects 
			with one of those vertiron nodes, 
			they'll feel the result on the 
			Cardassian homeworld...

					ARJIN
			But the containment field is so weak 
			now, it'll fail as soon as we start 
			to move again...

					DAX
				(beat, a plan emerging)
			I guess we'll just have to let it 
			fail.

					ARJIN
				(reacts)
			Let it fail?  But you said it yourself -- 
			if we pass through even one of those 
			vertiron nodes without the containment 
			field, the energy mass will explode...

					DAX
			Then, we'll have to avoid them...

					ARJIN
				(reacts)
			You're talking about precision flying 
			through a wormhole... it's never 
			been done...

	Sitting down.
