14   INT. DAX'S QUARTERS 

	Dax, O'Brien and Rom are sitting around a table spread 
	with food, drink and five or six different PADDS. 
	They're discussing the minefield, but, since Dax is 
	running things, the atmosphere is informal. Think the 
	Manhattan Project, a group of scientists and engineers 
	getting together to solve a problem, where the physics 
	are more important than winning the war.

					O'BRIEN 
			What about pulse mines? We could 
			equip them with variable geometry 
			detonators.

					DAX
			Not good enough. The Dominion 
			ships could just wait at the mouth 
			of the wormhole and pick them off 
			one by one.

					O'BRIEN
			What if we cloaked them?

					DAX
			Cloaks don't always work against 
			the Dominion.

					O'BRIEN
			Maybe cloaked ships don't, but I'm 
			thinking a lot smaller. Each mine 
			no more than a meter across.

					DAX
			A mine that small wouldn't have 
			much power. It would take dozens 
			of them to disable a warship. 
			We'd run out of mines before they 
			ran out of ships.

	Dax looks over at Rom.

					DAX 
			Rom, are you here?

					ROM 
			Cloak. Small. Dozens. I heard 
			every word.
