DEEP SPACE NINE: "Blaze... " - REV. 03/21/97 - ACT FIVE       53.

85   CONTINUED:

	Sisko has to admit, he has a begrudging admiration for
	Eddington.  He went out on his own terms.

					SISKO
			He died fighting for what he 
			believed in. I called him a 
			traitor once, but in a way, he was 
			the most loyal man I ever met.  He 
			was a Maquis, right up to the 
			bitter end.

					DAX
			Is that what this is? The end of
			the Maquis?

	Sisko thinks about it. Despite all the pain and 
	trouble it's caused, Sisko's not eager to close the 
	book on the Maquis.

					SISKO
			Who knows? There could still be 
			more of them out there, hiding 
			from the Dominion, biding their 
			time.

					DAX
			You almost sound hopeful.

					SISKO
			There is something attractive 
			about a lost cause.

					DAX
			Maybe you and Eddington had more 
			in common than you want to admit.

					SISKO
			Maybe.

	Dax gets up to leave.

					DAX 
			Good night, Benjamin. Try to get 
			some rest.

	Sisko nods, but it's clear that he's a long way from 
	the peacefulness of sleep. Dax EXITS.

	On Sisko as he stands and walks over to his window.
