DEEP SPACE NINE: "Starship Down" - REV. 09/19/95 - ACT TWO     29.

41   INT. DEFIANT - BRIDGE (VPB)

	Kira reacts as the scanner illuminates a BLIP.

					KIRA
			Sir, I have something. It's a 
			Jem'Hadar ship.

	She deactivates the scanning pings so as not to give 
	away their position.

					SISKO 
			Just one?

Kira nods an acknowledgement.

					WORF
			They must've split up to search 
			for the Karemma.

					KIRA
			It's about seventy kilometers 
			above us, on a roughly 
			perpendicular course.

	Sisko addresses Carson at the helmas he works a panel.

					SISKO
			Helm, come about to course zero-
			seven-five mark four. Let's fall 
			in behind them.

					CARSON 
			Aye, sir.

	The deck cants as the ship swings around. The mood is 
	tense... they're flying blind, and there's a Jem'Hadar 
	ship nearby.

	Sisko stands in the center of the room as if gauging 
	the SOUND of the wind outside. He's relying on 
	instinct now... tactical experience, asking himself, 
	"What would I do if I were the Jem'Hadar captain?"

					KIRA
			Do you think they've detected us?
