DEEP SPACE NINE: "One Little... " - REV. 1/9/98 - ACT ONE      15.

					NOG 
			None of that would've done any 
			good. The Jem'Hadar approached us 
			from the anterior angle of the 
			anamoly; their warp signatures

	Worf whirls on Nog, who immediately clams up rather 
	than face the Klingon's wrath.

				(to Worf) 
			He's only trying to tell you it's 
			not your fault.

					WORF
			I do not need him to tell me 
			anything.

					SISKO
			Everybody, relax. First of all, 
			we don't know what happened to the 
			Rubicon. They might've gotten out 
			of the anomaly on their own. If 
			they did, they could be halfway 
			home and in a lot better shape 
			than we are. So let's just hold 
			off analyzing our mistakes for 
			now.

					KIRA
			If they restore warp power, we'll 
			be analyzing them in a Dominion 
			prison camp.

	Her words spark the germ of an idea in Sisko's mind.

					SISKO 
			Restoring warp power may not be so 
			simple for them. It took us a 
			week just to learn how to pilot 
			one of their ships. So we might 
			still have a chance to retake the 
			Defiant. But we can't do anything 
			unless we get out of this room.

			Suggestions?
