					KIRA'S COM VOICE

					SISKO
			No reply, major. Sisko out.

	Sisko and Garak stop outside a doorway that has a 
	MONITOR on the wall next to it. Sisko activates the 
	monitor and it shows a high-angle view of the interior 
	of a LANDING BAY. The space doors are closed and no 
	one is inside. He works the controls for a moment and 
	then FLASHING LIGHTS come on inside the bay.

27   INT. LANDING BAY (OPTICAL)

	The lights continue to FLASH and then the giant space 
	door begins to OPEN.

28   INT. CORRIDOR (OPTICAL)

	As before. Sisko and Garak watching the doors on the 
	monitor.

29   INT. LANDING BAY (OPTICAL)

	The doors STOP. Nothing stirs in the huge, silent bay.

30   INT. CORRIDOR (OPTICAL)

	As before. Sisko watches the image of the empty bay 
	for a moment... then something BEEPS and Sisko works 
	the controls again.
