DEEP SPACE NINE: "The Assign... " - REV. 09/12/96 - ACT FOUR    43.

38   CONTINUED:

	The transmission ends. O'Brien's smile for Molly 
	disappears as he steels himself and walks back over to 
	Sisko and the others.

					SISKO
			Everything all right?

	O'Brien takes a beat before answering.

					O'BRIEN
			Fine.  Sorry about the
			interruption.

					SISKO.-
				(back to business)
			You were saying you thought you
			knew who the saboteur might be...

	The chief licks his dry lips, adrenalin pumping. 
	O'Brien looks at Sisko and finally nods.

					O'BRIEN
			I think I have an idea...

39   INT. DOCKING RING CORRIDOR

	Rom sits on the floor, head buried inside a panel, 
	happily tweaking a junction node. Odo's heavy hand 
	lands on his shoulder. Rom turns, a smile on his face. 
	It fades rapidly.

40   ROM'S POV

	Odo is not smiling. Nor is his SECURITY TEAM. O'Brien 
	stands behind them.

					ROM
			Hello, Constable. Hello, Chief.

					ODO
			What are you doing, Rom?

					ROM
			I-I can't talk about it.

					ODO
			Oh, yes you can. And you will.

	Odo nods to his team, who grab the hapless Ferengi and 
	steer him toward the Promenade. One of the N.D. 
	security force leans over to pick up Rom's tools, but 
	the Chief stops him.
