	FADE IN:

38   INT. DEFIANT - TRANSPORTER ROOM (OPTICAL)

	as Kira and O'Brien step off the transport platform and 
	approach Odo at the console.  They look like they've just 
	had some sort of close call.

					ODO
			No luck?

					KIRA
			Afraid not.

					O'BRIEN
			Well, we know one thing.  They arrived 
			before the year twenty-forty-eight.

					ODO
			How can you be sure?

					O'BRIEN
			Because we were just there.  And 
			that wasn't the mid-twenty-first 
			century that I read about in school.  
			It's been changed.  Earth history 
			had its rough patches, but never 
			that rough.

					KIRA
			If we limit our search to dates before 
			twenty-forty-eight, how many 
			possibilities does that leave us.

	O'Brien checks the console.

					O'BRIEN
			According to my calculations, three.  
			But we've only got enough chroniton 
			particles for one more try.

					KIRA
			Pick one, Chief.  And let's hope you 
			get lucky.

	There's a beat as O'Brien tries to decide, then he programs 
	a series of commands into the transporter controls.

					O'BRIEN
			That's my best guess.
