    DEEP SPACE NINE: "Starship Down" - REV. 09/14/95 - ACT THREE    33.
                           ACT THREE                            

	FADE IN:

48   INT. DEFIANT - BRIDGE 

	Only EMERGENCY LIGHTS illuminate the room, and the dim 
	light they give off is cut by the swirl of smoke from 
	exploded consoles. The place is a wreck.

	Worf is just sitting up... he clears his head, moves to 
	help Kira.

					WORF 
			Are you all right, major?

					KIRA 
			I think so...

	Kira moves to check on Sisko, who's lying unconscious 
	on the floor. Carson moves to check on two N.D.s who 
	are splayed out on the floor, one of whom is badly 
	burned.

					WORF 
			Computer, lights.
				(nothing happens) 
			Bridge to Engine Room.

	No response, not even a com-beep. Worf starts checking 
	consoles, trying to power them up.

					CARSON
			Boyce and Peterson are dead,
			sir...

	Worf reacts, nods an acknowledgement. Kira crouches 
	next to Sisko, who's barely conscious. He took a bad 
	blow to the head and blood is trickling from a cut on 
	his temple.

					KIRA 
			Captain... try not to move... you 
			took a bad blow...
				(to Carson) 
			Get me a medkit.

	Carson hurries over to a wall panel, brings the MEDKIT 
	over.

					WORF 
			Bridge systems are completely off-
			line. We're not getting power to 
			these consoles.
