         DEEP SPACE: "THE SEARCH" - REV. 07/11/94 - ACT ONE         13.

7    CONTINUED:	(5)

					ODO
			Odo... Head of station security.
				(beat)
			May I ask what your... function is 
			here, Commander?

	Eddington reacts with a slight look of surprise and he looks 
	to Sisko, who clearly has not been looking forward to this.  
	Odo picks up on the look between the two men and his 
	displeasure deepens.

					SISKO
				(to all)
			There'll be a complete mission 
			briefing at eighteen hundred hours, 
			but be prepared to depart the station 
			at oh-seven-hundred tomorrow morning.  
			Dismissed.

	Odo makes no move to leave as the others all EXIT.  Sisko 
	waits until they're gone and then turns to Odo, who is waiting 
	for him.

					ODO
			You needn't brace yourself to give 
			me unpleasant news, Commander, I'll 
			save you the trouble:  I've been 
			relieved as Chief of Security.

	Odo turns on his heel and stalks out of the room.  Sisko 
	goes after him.

7A   INT. CORRIDOR - CONTINUOUS

	Sisko catches up with Odo just outside the Wardroom.

					SISKO
			Odo, wait.  You have not been 
			relieved.  You're still in charge of 
			all non-Starfleet security matters 
			aboard this station.

					ODO
			What about matters that are Starfleet?

					SISKO
			In those areas, you'll coordinate 
			your efforts with Commander Eddington.
