DEEP SPACE NINE: "Starship Down" - REV. 09/14/95 - ACT TWO     22.

31   CONTINUED:

					DAX 
			Not quite.

								INTERCUT WITH:

32   INT. DEFIANT - BRIDGE

	where Sisko is talking to Dax on the com as Kira and 
	Worf look on. Dax and Muniz never stop working.

					SISKO
			Get out of there as soon as you're 
			done.
				(grim) 
			In about thirty seconds I'm going 
			to have to seal that deck.

	Muniz reacts... Sisko is telling them he may have to 
	trap them inside.

					DAX
			Understood.

	Dax sees the look on Muniz's face, tries to reassure 
	him.

					DAX
			We've got to get the engines back 
			on-line. Just keep working and 
			don't think about anything else.

33   INT. DEFIANT - CORRIDOR (OPTICAL)

	Where Bashir is prying the door to the turbolift OPEN 
	to help an N.D. who was trapped inside.

	At the far end of the corridor, the FORCEFIELD is 
	FRITZING ominously from the pressure building up behind 
	it.

	When the last person is past the door frame, Bashir 
	touches a wall panel and the BULKHEAD starts to slide 
	closed.

					BASHIR
				(to com) 
			Bashir to Bridge, I'm sealing the 
			bulkhead.

	Bashir looks down the corridor a last time and sees 
	someone emerging from the Jefferies Tube entrance in 
	the wall. It's Dax.

					BASHIR 
			Dax!
