INTERCUT:

44   INT. DEFIANT - BRIDGE

	Kira in command, N.D.s at the other stations.

					SISKO 
			Report.

					KIRA
			A Klingon D-7 battlecruiser just 
			dropped out of warp. It's 
			approaching the station.

					SISKO
			Have they locked weapons?

					KIRA
				(off console) 
			Not yet.

	Something about this is familiar to Dax.

					DAX 
			Kira, can you identify the Klingon 
			vessel?

					KIRA
				(works) 
			The IKS Gr'oth.

					DAX
				(smiles) 
			That's Koloth's ship.

					SISKO
			Curzon's old friend?

					DAX
				(nods) 
			Yes, and he's not going to attack. 
			I remember Koloth telling me he 
			once traded insults with Kirk on 
			a space station near the
			Federation border. He always 
			regretted not getting a chance to 
			face him in battle.
