			... this big.

					DAX 
			Are you suggesting we take the 
			Runabout inside the Defiant?

					O'BRIEN
			Why not? Getting past the anti-
			backflow valve may be a bit 
			tricky. But we'll have a better 
			chance of getting someone's 
			attention inside than we will 
			sitting out here.

					DAX 
				(smiles) 
			I love it. Let's go.

18   INT. DEFIANT - BRIDGE 

	All of the chairs have been removed. Kudak'Etan stands 
	at the helm, evaluating the repairs. The starboard 
	door opens and Sisko ENTERS, escorted by Ixtana'Rax. 
	Kudak'Etan has his back to them. Third Lamat'Ukan 
	turns from the engineering console.

					LAMAT'UKAN 
			The engineering team reports that 
			we can restart the impulse engines 
			in twelve minutes.

					KUDAK'ETAN 
			Good.

	Ixtana'Rax nudges Sisko forward with the point of his 
	disruptor. They come to a halt just behind Kudak'Etan. 
	The First continues to work his console for a moment, 
	then turns to face the captain.

					KUDAK'ETAN 
			Captain Benjamin Sisko. The one 
			the Bajorans call the Emissary.

	Kudak'Etan steps closer, appraising the captain. 
	Ixtana'Rax watches the exchange with keen interest and 
	Kudak'Etan knows it.
