DEEP SPACE NINE: "Return to Grace" - 12/07/95 - ACT THREE     25.

22   CONTINUED:

	The whole ship SHUDDERS VIOLENTLY from the orbital
	disruptor discharge.

23   ON THE VIEWSCREEN (OPTICAL)

	We see a torpedo-like bolt BLAST the oncoming asteroid
	into a million pieces. (In contrast to the first time
	we saw them blast an asteroid with their antique
	phaser, this explosion is really quite something. It
	should be obvious this is a much more powerful weapon.)

24   RESUME

	Dukat is pleased with the destructive power of the weapon.

					DUKAT
			Very impressive, Major.

					KIRA
				(off her console)
			Don't be too impressed yet, Dukat --
			we still have some problems.
			Firing the disruptor ruptured
			power relays and plasma circuits
			all over the ship.

					DAMAR
				(confirming)
			We have small plasma leaks on
			decks two, four and five.

					DUKAT
				(to two Cardassian crewmembers)
			You, I want those leaks fixed
			immediately.

	The two crewmembers EXIT the Bridge.

					KIRA
			We're going to have to do
			something about that recoil.

	Dukat is not concerned; as far as he can see,
	everything's going along fine.

					DUKAT
			Major, I'm confident you'll have
			the disruptor operating so
			smoothly it wouldn't wake a
			sleeping child.
