DEEP SPACE: "Destiny" - REV. 12/19/94 - ACT FOUR          40.

30   CONTINUED:	(2)

					DAX
			It would probably break up into 
			smaller pieces and we'd have a bigger 
			mess on our hands.

					GILORA
			The same thing would happen if you 
			tried to destroy it with a phaser 
			beam.

					O'BRIEN
			Not necessarily.  I could modify the 
			Defiant's phaser array to generate a 
			beam wide enough to encompass the 
			entire comet.

					ULANI
				(nods)
			Vaporizing it evenly so it won't 
			break up.

					SISKO
			How long would the modifications 
			take?

					O'BRIEN
			Three hours.

					SISKO
			Get on it.  We'll be cutting this 
			pretty close.

	And with that, the meeting starts to break up...

31   EXT. SPACE - THE DEFIANT (OPTICAL)

	docked at DS9.

32   INT. JEFFERIES TUBE (FROM TNG)

	where O'Brien is working on an open panel as Gilora looks 
	on.  She's sitting a little closer than she probably has to, 
	watching as O'Brien works with keen interest.

	During the following scene, Gilora will be coming on to 
	O'Brien... but she's a Cardassian, and her approach is 
	distinctly alien.  While her words convey one message, her 
	face is deadpan... there are no smiles or looks that give 
	O'Brien a clue as to what's going on... so that he can't be 
	sure if he's just imagining things...
