					O'BRIEN
			Keep that to yourself. I don't 
			want him to hear that kind of 
			talk.

					WORF
			It does no good to shield him from 
			the truth. Let him prepare for 
			death.

					O'BRIEN
			The hell I will! His only hope is 
			to keep fighting -- if he gives 
			up, it's over.

					WORF
			It was over the moment he was shot 
			by the Jem'Hadar.

	O'Brien is getting really hot -- he takes a step toward 
	Worf.

					O'BRIEN
			You listen to me
				(pointing a finger in
				Worf's chest)
			that boy's life is in our hands 
			and I won't let anybody give 
			up on him.

	O'Brien is in Worf's face, staring at him intently. 
	Worf's eyes narrow a bit, but he holds his temper.

					WORF

				(low)
			Step... back.

	There's a long beat. Finally, O'Brien takes a smart 
	military step backward, letting Worf know that he's 
	not really backing down completely. Dax zips in --

					DAX
			Worf, what do you say we go take 
			a look at the ion exchange matrix 
			we found... and maybe on the way 
			we can discuss some of the finer 
			points of diplomacy.

	Dax leads Worf away, allowing O'Brien to cool down and 
	get back to work.

	Muniz is getting worse by the moment. He's now 
	sweating buckets and shivering with a high fever.
