DEEP SPACE NINE: "The Ship" - REV. 07/29/96 - ACT ONE       14.

20   CONTINUED:

					DAX
			I wonder if this is what all 
			Jem'Hadar ships are like?

					SISKO
			The bigger question is -- what's 
			a Jem'Hadar ship doing all the way 
			out here? We're at least three 
			weeks from the nearest Dominion 
			outpost.

	There's no answer to that. Muniz ENTERS, having 
	completed their mission. They step up to Sisko.

					MUNIZ
			Twenty-nine other bodies -- no 
			survivors.

	Sisko nods, thinks for a moment and turns to O'Brien.

					SISKO
			Can we use the runabout's tractor 
			beam to haul this thing into 
			orbit?

	Everyone exchanges surprised looks -- they weren't 
	expecting that question.

					SISKO
			This is the greatest intelligence 
			find in the last ten years. We're 
			not going to leave it here to 
			rust. What do you say, Chief?

	O'Brien looks around, thinking over the possibilities --
	it's a big undertaking.

					O'BRIEN
			We're not going to haul it out 
			with a runabout.

	Sisko smiles.

					SISKO
			Then we need something with a 
			little more muscle.
