DEEP SPACE NINE: "Little Green Men" - REV. 09/20/95 - ACT ONE   16.

19   CONTINUED:	(2)

	As soon as the word is out of Nog's mouth, Quark sees 
	exactly what's occurred.

					QUARK
				(bitter) 
			Cousin Gaila.

					NOG 
			He never did like you very much, 
			Uncle.

					QUARK 
			Okay, okay. No need to panic. So 
			the warp drive won't shut down. 
			What's the worst thing that could 
			happen?

					ROM 
			The ship could continue 
			accelerating until it tears itself 
			apart and scatters our remains 
			halfway across the quadrant.

	Quark agitatedly tries to think of a way out.

					QUARK
			There must be something we can 
			do...

					ROM
				(thinking aloud) 
			Jettison the warp core... No, I 
			tried that already. Emergency 
			overrides are frozen.

					QUARK 
			Then we'll have to try something 
			else, won't we?

					ROM
				(gets an idea) 
			The kemacite!
				(off reactions, trying 
				to sell them)
			If we vent plasma from the warp 
			core into the cargo hold, we may 
			be able to start a cascade 
			reaction in the kemacite.
