DEEP SPACE NINE: "The Ship" - REV. 07/29/96 - ACT FIVE       59.

95   CONTINUED:

					SISKO
			Where are your soldiers?

					KILANA
			They're dead. They killed themselves.

					DAX
			Why?

					SISKO
				(figuring it out)
			Because they allowed a Founder to 
			die.

	Dax looks to Sisko, who nods. Dax EXITS to check 
	Kilana's story. Kilana looks down at the Founder's 
	remains, clearly devastated.

					KILANA
				(accusatory)
			You should've trusted me.

	Sisko's anger flares.

					SISKO
			How could I? The first thing out
			of your mouth was a lie -- this
			isn't your first mission outside
			the Dominion, is it?

					KILANA
				(contrite)
			I regret saying that.. but my 
			offer was genuine. All that 
			mattered to me was the Founder.

					SISKO
			Then you should've told me about 
			him.

					KILANA
			You might've killed him or taken 
			him hostage...


					SISKO
			No...

	Kilana studies Sisko closely, realizing he's telling 
	the truth.

					SISKO
			All I wanted was the ship.
