			No. Obedience brings Victory.

					KUDKA'ETAN 
			And Victory is Life.

	Ixtana'Rax nods and EXITS. Kudak'Etan turns to his

					KUDAK'ETAN 
			Find the ship's transponder and 
			shut it down -- I don't want 
			anyone tracking us. And get these 
			chairs off the bridge.

11   INT. DEFIANT - MESS HALL

	Worf paces the room like a caged tiger. Sisko leans 
	against one wall, lost in thought. All of our crew 
	have been stripped of their combadges. They're 
	frustrated and edgy. Kira sits at one of the mess 
	tables, allowing Nog to clean her injury with a napkin. 
	He hits a sensitive spot. She winces and pushes his 
	arm away more brusquely than she intended.

					KIRA

			I should've foreseen this. I 
			should have sent out 
			reconnaissance probes to scan for 
			enemy ships. Or a shuttle. Or 
			re-calibrated our sensors. If 
			I had, Jadzia would...

	Worf falls silent, raises his fist as if to slam it 
	into a bulkhead, then lowers his clenched fingers to 
	his side.
