DEEP SPACE NINE: "One Little... " - REV. 1/9/98 - ACT FOUR     44.

64   CONTINUED:

					SISKO 
			Any luck, ensign?

	The Ferengi enters his latest PADD calculation into the 
	data input.

					NOG
				(sotto) 
			Not yet, sir. The system's always 
			three steps ahead of me. Every 
			time I get past the primary 
			security net, the secondary kicks 
			me back out... and then the codes 
			are reset, and I have to start all 
			over again...

	He finishes his entry, watches with forlorn hope as the 
	unit blips, blinks... and finally rejects it.

					NOG
			... like that.

	Nog tosses the PADD onto the floor of the circuitry 
	compartment in frustration.

					NOG
				(continuing) 
			Do we have a backup plan in case 
			this doesn't work?

					SISKO
				(sotto) 
			Yes. I'll destroy the ship.

	Nog looks at him to see if he's serious -- Sisko's 
	expression is deadly serious and Nog picks up his PADD 
	again.

					NOG 
			There are still a few algorithms 
			I haven't tried yet.

	Sisko gives him an encouraging pat on the back and then 
	moves off as Nog redoubles his efforts.

65   KIRA

	Is working at an open panel near the starboard base of 
	the warp core. The Seventh is handing her a tool from 
	the tool kit he brought to her.

					KIRA
				(absently) 
			Thanks.
