DEEP SPACE NINE: "Change of Heart" - REV. 1/9/98 - ACT FOUR    46.

54   CONTINUED:

	Worf eases her down on the opposite side and then 
	easily jumps down himself. Dax stays on the ground, 
	her breathing shallow, on the very edge of passing out 
	altogether. Worf kneels down in concern.

					WORF
			Jadzia... ?

					DAX
			Hhhh... hhhh... hypo.

	He pulls the hypo out of the pack and applies it to her 
	neck. Her eyes widen and she takes a big gulp of air. 
	Worf opens her jacket and inspects the bandage.

					DAX 
			There we go... good as new.

					WORF 
			I have to change the dressing.

	He opens the pack, pulls out the medkit and begins to 
	change the dressing.

					DAX 
			That's four bandages in two 
			hours... that has to be some kind 
			of... record.

	She starts laughing -- a little too loud and a little 
	too shrill. Dax is one step away from delirium at this 
	point.

					DAX
				(rambling) 
			Sorry. I forgot the new rules -- 
			nothing funny... we have to be 
			serious... life and death... we've 
			got a job to do.

	Worf finishes the new dressing and regards her for a 
	moment. He's very, very concerned about her, but he's 
	caught between a rock and a hard place.

					WORF 
			Jadzia. I know you're tired. But 
			we need to cover at least three 
			more kilometers before nightfall. 
			Can you do it?
