      DEEP SPACE NINE: "Rules of... " - REV. 1/26/96 - ACT FOUR      43.

62   CONTINUED:

					WORF
			I respect the Chief's opinion. We
			have served together for many
			years. He's an outstanding
			officer... and a friend. However,
			he was not in command that day.

					SISKO
			What difference does that make?

					WORF
			It makes all the difference. He
			is looking back at a decision...
			analyzing it weeks later. As the
			commanding officer of the Defiant,
			it was my duty to look forward...
			to anticipate every possible
			situation.

					SISKO
			Did you anticipate encountering a
			civilian ship on this mission?

					WORF
			I knew that our convoy would be
			passing through civilian shipping
			lanes. But, in my judgement, the
			chances of a civilian vessel
			decloaking in the middle of a
			battle were... remote. I decided
			that if we were engaged in
			combat... I would not hesitate to
			fire at a decloaking ship.

					SISKO
			Mister Worf, I want you to think
			about the civilians who died on
			that transport ship... and answer
			one question.
				(beat)
			Given the same set of
			circumstances, would you do it
			again?

					WORF
			Yes, sir. If I had hesitated, I
			would have been negligent. I
			would have been risking my ship,
			my crew and the entire convoy.

					SISKO
			Thank you.
