					JAKE
			Chief, you know this stuff. You
			don't have to worry about it.

					O'BRIEN
			I don't want to embarrass myself
			in front of the repair crews.

					JAKE
			Even if you get one wrong, I'm
			sure no one'll think anything of
			it. You may be a little rusty,
			but you're still the chief.

	O'Brien's not reassured.

					O'BRIEN
			If I'm still the chief... then I
			say we go over these again.

	Jake smiles.

					JAKE
			Right you are... Chief.

	Jake gets ready to go over the tools one more time.

	Re-establishing.

40   INT. MAINTENANCE CONDUIT 

	O'Brien is back in uniform and hard at work on an open
	panel in one of the conduits. He's concentrating on an
	especially tricky repair with grim determination, back
	in his element. He completes the repair.

					O'BRIEN
			All done here.

	Crewman MUNIZ (last seen in "STARSHIP DOWN") comes to
	check his work. There are two other crewmen at work
	further down the conduit.

					MUNIZ
			That was quick.
