DEEP SPACE NINE: "Way... Warrior" - 07/07/95 - ACT THREE      35.

45   CONTINUED:

					SISKO
			I hope you'll forgive me for  
			pulling you away from your  
			studies. I doubt this assignment  
			will last very long.


					WORF
			My leave was almost over.

					SISKO
			Any idea where you're going to be 
			stationed next?

	Worf takes a long beat before responding, then...

					WORF 
			I'm considering resigning my 
			commission.

	Worf's news catches Sisko a little off guard.

					SISKO
			Really? Do you mind if I ask why?

					WORF
			I've spent most of my life among 
			humans. It has not always been 
			easy for me. And since the 
			destruction of the Enterprise, it 
			has become even more difficult. 
			I am no longer sure I belong in 
			this uniform.

	Sisko is in an awkward position. He needs Worf to help 
	him willingly, not because he's being forced.

					SISKO
			Mister Worf, if I said we didn't 
			need you here, I'd be lying. But 
			if you don't want to take this 
			assignment, I'd understand.

					WORF
			Thank you, sir. But until I make 
			my decision, I intend to do my 
			duty.

					SISKO
			I'm glad to hear that. 
				(a beat) 
			I assume you've read my situation 
			report.

	Worf nods.
