DEEP SPACE: "The Jem'Hadar" - REV. 04/22/94 - TEASER        4A.

3    CONTINUED:

	Dax and Kira stand up.  Neither one wants to sit on the 
	sidelines during a family discussion.

					KIRA
				(smiling, to Sisko, 
				re: PADD)
			I think we can finish this later.


	She and Dax EXIT.

					SISKO
				(to Jake)
			Partner?

					JAKE
			We asked Mrs. O'Brien and she said 
			it would be okay, so I invited Nog 
			to come with us to the Gamma Quadrant.

					SISKO
			Now hold on a second, Jake...

					JAKE
			Dad, if Nog doesn't get a good grade 
			on this science project, he's going 
			to drop out of school.  And I can't 
			let that happen.

					SISKO
			Maybe he can help you analyze the 
			survey information when we get back.

					JAKE
			That's not enough.  Mrs. O'Brien 
			said he'd have to be an equal partner.
				(a beat)
			Come on, Dad... he's my friend.  I 
			have to help him.

4    CLOSE ON SISKO

	He can't say no, but this isn't going to be the trip he was 
	hoping for.
