     DEEP SPACE NINE: "In the Cards" - REV. 04/15/97 - ACT FOUR     44.
                           ACT FOUR                             

	FADE IN:

32   INT. SECURITY OFFICE

	Odo is working the computer console while Jake and Nog 
	sit across from him.

					ODO
				(off monitor) 
			There's no record of a Doctor 
			Giger being assigned to those 
			quarters.

					JAKE 
			He was there, Odo.

					NOG 
			Maybe the soulless minions of 
			orthodoxy finally caught up with 
			him.

					ODO
			The who?

					JAKE 
			We don't know who they are, but 
			they were after Doctor Giger's 
			Cellular Regeneration and 
			Entertainment Chamber.

					ODO
			His what?

					JAKE 
			It's a device to keep the cells in 
			your body from getting bored. You 
			see, he was going to transmit 
			messages to people's cells to keep 
			them entertained so they wouldn't 
			die off... and as a result these 
			people would...
				(suddenly realizing how 
				lame this sounds)
			... live... forever.

	Odo looks from Jake to Nog for a long moment and a deep 
	frown starts to settle in on his features as he 
	suspects that he is the victim of a not so funny prank.
