DEEP SPACE: "Destiny" - REV. 12/19/94 - ACT FIVE          56.

55   EXT. SPACE (OPTICAL)

	as the wormhole OPENS... the Shuttlepod and the fragments 
	come hurtling out... behind them, the silithium leaves a 
	trail of "fire."  After a stunning beat, the effect dissipates 
	and the wormhole closes...

	The Shuttlepod veers away from the fragments, and they 
	continue off into space...

56   INT. SHUTTLEPOD

	where we see a very relieved looking Sisko and Kira.

					DAX'S COM VOICE
			Dax to Sisko...

					SISKO
			Sisko, here.

	INTERCUT AS NEEDED:

57   INT. DEFIANT - BRIDGE

	As Dax and O'Brien react to hearing that they're all right.

					DAX
			Are you all right, Benjamin?

					SISKO
			There was some silithium leakage 
			inside the wormhole... but we're 
			fine.

	Suddenly O'Brien reacts to something on his console.

					O'BRIEN
			I don't believe it.

					DAX
			What is it, Chief?

					O'BRIEN
			I'm picking up the test signal from 
			the communications relay...

	Dax moves over to his MONITOR and sees the FEDERATION TEST 
	PATTERN displayed there.  Everyone reacts to his unexpected 
	development.
