DEEP SPACE NINE: "The Ship" - REV. 07/29/96 - ACT ONE       13.

18   CONTINUED:

	Dax examines the dead soldiers with her tricorder.

					DAX
			These men didn't die in the 
			crash... they've been dead for 
			hours.

					SISKO
			What killed them?

					DAX
			Massive osteo-necrosis. Every 
			bone in their bodies has been 
			shattered.

					O'BRIEN
			Sounds like inertial damper 
			failure -- the ship accelerated 
			and people were thrown into the 
			bulkheads.

19   NEW ANGLE


	as Sisko steps up to the body of the JEM'HADAR FIRST, 
	who is lying near central "position" with the now-
	familiar expression of agony. Nearby, O'Brien examines 
	the ship.

					O'BRIEN
			There was nobody alive when the 
			ship hit the planet... but it 
			still survived the impact.
				(impressed)
			Whoever designed this baby knew 
			what they were doing.

	O'Brien climbs up on something to look at the panels on 
	the deck above.

20   ON SISKO

	as he examines the room.

					DAX
				(looking around)
			No viewscreen. No chairs.

					O'BRIEN
			No EPS conduits, no microfusion 
			initiators, not even any power 
			converters -- at least not that I 
			can find.
