DEEP SPACE NINE: "Inferno's Light" - REV. 12/17/96 - ACT TWO    23.

55   INT. OPS

	Dax and O'Brien are at their stations. Sisko is at the 
	Ops table.

					O'BRIEN
			We're being hailed.

					DAX
			It's Chancellor Gowron. He's 
			requesting permission to dock. 
			They've got wounded.

					SISKO
			Permission granted.

				(a beat)
			I have a feeling the Klingons' war 
			against the Cardassians has taken 
			a turn for the worse.


56   INT. INFIRMARY

	The Bashir Changeling is treating Chancellor GOWRON, 
	who's been burned on his hand, as Sisko looks on.

					GOWRON
			This is a dark day, not only for 
			the Klingon Empire, but for the 
			Alpha Quadrant itself.

					SISKO
			So what are we going to do about 
			it?

	The Bashir Changeling moves to a discreet distance.

					GOWRON
			I will do what must be done. Fall 
			back.
