DEEP-SPACE NINE: "Call to Arms" - REV. 04/24/97 - ACT TWO    17A.

14A  CONTINUED:

					KIRA 
			So, what did Starfleet Command 
			say?

					WORF 
			How many reinforcements will they 
			be sending us?

					KIRA 
			And how soon will they get here?

					SISKO
			We're not getting any 
			reinforcements. We'll have to 
			make due with what we've got.

	This comes as an unwelcome surprise to both Kira and 
	Worf.

					KIRA 
			What we've got isn't enough.

					WORF 
			Sir, as Strategic Operations 
			Officer, I cannot guarantee the 
			safety of this station if a 
			Dominion fleet should attack.

					SISKO
			Your concerns are noted, 
			commander.

					KIRA 
			What's Starfleet thinking? They 
			must've given you a reason for 
			denying your request.

					SISKO
			They did.

					KIRA 
			And?

					SISKO
			And I'm not at liberty to discuss 
			it. Let's just say Starfleet's 
			resources will be needed 
			elsewhere.

					KIRA 
			What's more important than 
			defending this station?

					WORF 
			That's not for us to decide. What 
			are our orders, captain?
