DEEP SPACE NINE: "One Little... " - REV. 1/9/98 - ACT FIVE    52B.

 84   INT. RUNABOUT

	Dax regards the approaching soldiers with dismay. She
	taps her combadge.

					DAX 
			How's it coming, Chief?

85   INT. OPTRONIC CIRCUITRY #2

	O'Brien and Bashir have stopped in another section of 
	the circuitry. Both are showing the effects of the 
	long hike in thin air. O'Brien gazes at the vast 
	optronic labyrinth, his forehead beaded with sweat. 
	Noticing the Chief's preoccupation, Bashir hits his 
	combadge.

					BASHIR 
			We're... making progress. Aren't 
			we, Chief?

	O'Brien jerks his eyes toward Bashir and touches his 
	own combadge.

					O'BRIEN 
			I'm still trying to locate the... 
			security protocol interlinks. 
			Shouldn't be... much longer.

85A  INT. RUNABOUT (OPTICAL) 

	A forest of Jem'Hadar legs can be seen out the windows.

					DAX 
			The sooner the better. Things are 
			getting a little crowded up here.

85B  INT. DEFIANT - BRIDGE 

	At the aft table, the Jem'Hadar watch eagerly as the 
	First unlatches the complicated lock on the container. 
	The top rises, revealing the tubes of White. 
	Kudak'Etan removes five and hands them to his Third.

					KUDAK'ETAN 
			Here.

	The other Jem'Hadar, including Lamat'Ukan, exchange 
	startled glances. They are used to the liturgy that 
	the Vorta normally performs, and are unsettled by 
	Kudak'Etan's informality. Lamat'Ukan decides he'd 
	better respond as he was trained to.
