C>DEEP SPACE NINE: "Rules of... " - REV. 1/26/96 - ACT TWO	21-22.

31   CONTINUED:

	Sisko hands him a PADD.

					SISKO
				(continuing)
			There will be seven convoys
			heading for Pentath Three in the
			next week, each of them protected
			by a Federation starship. The
			Defiant has been assigned to
			escort convoy number six. And
			I've chosen you to be in command.

					CH'POK'S VOICE
			Why did you select Worf for this
			mission?

	Sisko studies Worf for a moment.

					SISKO
			I felt he was an experienced
			officer who was ready to begin
			taking on greater
			responsibilities. He had a
			distinguished record and he
			obviously understood the Klingons.

32   INT. WARDROOM

	As before. Ch'Pok questioning Sisko.

					CH'POK
			Weren't you a little worried that
			Worf, a famed Klingon Warrior,
			might jump at any chance for
			battle and forget about the plague
			victims?

					SISKO
			If I did, I wouldn't have given
			him the assignment.

					CH'POK
			And you feel that you made your
			instructions perfectly clear?
			That Commander Worf knew he was on
			a humanitarian relief mission...
			that he was not being sent out to
			seek combat?
