4    INT. AIRLOCK CORRIDOR

	DAX is waiting as the airlock door slides open and Sisko, 
	Kira, and Bashir emerge.  Dax falls into step beside them as 
	they walk down the corridor.  Sisko is instantly in action, 
	giving orders, working with a full head of steam.

					SISKO
			Lieutenant, I want to speak to the 
			Cardassian Central Command.

					DAX
			Then you're in luck.  Legate Parn 
			will be arriving here within the 
			hour.

	Sisko and Dax exchange a look, acknowledging that things are 
	heating up.

					SISKO
			A Legate.  I feel honored.  While 
			I'm waiting, I'll talk with Starfleet.

					DAX
			Admiral Necheyev's already here.

	This gets another look from Sisko.

5    INT. OPS

	O'BRIEN at his station.  Sisko, Dax and Kira ENTER from the 
	Turbolift.  Sisko heads for his office while calling to 
	O'Brien.

					SISKO
			Chief, The Maquis must have 
			transferred Dukat off their ship 
			before reaching that asteroid.  I 
			want to know where they've hid him.

					O'BRIEN
			I could retrace their warp trail.  
			See if they met up with any other 
			ships.
