       DEEP SPACE NINE: "The Ship" - REV. 07/29/96 - ACT THREE      31.
                           ACT THREE                            

	FADE IN:

49   EXT. ROCK PLANET - JEM'HADAR SHIP - DAY - CONTINUOUS 

	Sisko and Kilana are continuing their chat. Another 
	Jem'Hadar soldier has approached carrying a tray of 
	food and some containers of water.

					KILANA
			These are Q'lavas -- a personal 
			favorite.


	She offers it to Sisko, who doesn't take it.

					KILANA
			It's not poisonous, if that's what 
			you're thinking.

	She takes a bite of the watery fruit to prove it's not. 
	Sisko still won't take it.

					SISKO
			Not to you, anyway.

					KILANA
			I hope you're not teaching Jake to 
			be this suspicious, Benjamin. Or 
			do you prefer Ben?

					SISKO
			"Captain" will be fine.

	Kilana looks upset. She seems genuinely perplexed --
	suddenly, a little innocent.

					KILANA
			I'm sure it's my fault that we 
			seem unable to establish an 
			understanding between us, Captain. 
				(a reluctant admission)
			I'm sorry I'm not more experienced 
			in these matters. This is my 
			first mission outside the Dominion 
			and my very first dealing with 
			anybody from the Federation... 
				(just coy enough)
			I know you have no reason to trust
			me, but I hope you'll at least try 
			to consider my offer with an open 
			mind.


					SISKO
			I'm listening.
