DEEP SPACE: "Meridian" - REV. 09/29/94 - ACT FIVE         62.

61C  EXT. ENERGY MIST (OPTICAL)

	Dax is unable to answer... she writhes in anguish... grabbing 
	at her throat...

61D  INT. DEFIANT - BRIDGE (OPTICAL)

	On the viewscreen Meridian continues to SHIMMER.

					BASHIR
			Get her out of there, Chief...

	O'Brien rushes for the door.

61E  EXT. ENERGY MIST (OPTICAL)

	Mist energy that used to be the Meridians are still trapped 
	between dimensions... They're twisting in the wind, as it 
	were... we must assume they are in distress too...

	After a moment, Dax begins to DEMATERIALIZE.  A moment later, 
	the process on the ground is able to continue and the energy 
	eclipses into space.

	On its way home.

65   INT. DEFIANT - DAX'S QUARTERS

	Dax sits quietly morose as the door CHIMES... She doesn't 
	respond...

					SISKO (O.S.)
			Dax?

	After a beat, she moves to the door and hits the panel that 
	opens to reveal Sisko...

					SISKO
			I thought you'd like to know, Meridian 
			shifted normally once we beamed you 
			away.

					DAX
			Good.
