DEEP SPACE NINE: "Blaze... " - REV. 03/21/97 - ACT FIVE      52A.

84A  CONTINUED:

					NOG 
			In maintenance conduit Thirty-
			Three A. I guess it fell off when 
			you were doing the deflector grid 
			inspection.

					KIRA 
			You must've searched every 
			crawlway in the central core.

					NOG 
			Just doing my job.

					KIRA 
			And doing it with style.

	Nog smiles.

					NOG 
			Glad to be of help.

	Suddenly Martok comes off the Turbolift right in front 
	of them. He walks past Nog and nods brusquely.

					MARTOK 
			Cadet.

					NOG 
			General.

	They pass each other. Nog smiles to himself and walks 
	a little straighter, pleased to be recognized by the 
	Klingon.


					KIRA 
			What was that all about?

					NOG
				(with pride) 
			Respect.

	And the two of them EXIT.

85   INT. SISKO'S QUARTERS 

	Sisko is sitting with Dax, trying to come to terms with 
	what just happened.

					DAX 
			If you ask me, Eddington couldn't 
			have picked a better way to go. 
			At least from his point of view. 
			He was a romantic. And what's 
			more romantic than a glorious 
			death in defense of a lost cause.
