4    INT. WARDROOM

	Continuous from the Teaser. Sisko is looking at Odo 
	and Eddington in shock.

					SISKO 
			Kasidy... ? Working for the 
			Maquis? That's impossible.

					ODO
			I certainly hope so. Smuggling 
			with intent to supply a terrorist 
			organization is a serious offense.

					SISKO
				(sharp)
			Where's your evidence?


	Odo notes the tone of Sisko's voice, but is unruffled 
	by it.

					ODO
			Five months ago, Captain Yates was 
			hired by the Bajorans to carry 
			cargo to their outlying colonies. 
			one of her regular runs is between 
			Bajor and the colony on Dreon 
			Seven. It's a twelve-hour run for 
			most ships, but she always takes 
			eighteen.
				(beat)
			The six hour difference is just 
			enough time to allow her to make 
			a side trip into the Badlands, 
			rendezvous with a Maquis ship and 
			then continue on to the Dreon 
			System.


					SISKO 
			That's your evidence? She's 
			slow on one of her deliveries?

					EDDINGTON
			There's more. Starfleet 
			Intelligence has infiltrated one 
			of the Maquis cells and obtained 
			a partial list of their contacts 
			in the Bajoran Sector.
