DEEP SPACE NINE: "The Reckoning" - REV. 3/9/98 - ACT FOUR     37.

36   CONTINUED: 

	Sisko has just finished explaining the situation to the 
	others and they aren't happy about what they've heard.

					SISKO 
			We're evacuating.

					BASHIR 
			You can't be serious.

					SISKO 
			This "battle" could destroy the 
			station.

					DAX
			Then don't let it be fought here.

					SISKO 
			I don't have any choice.

					DAX
			Yes, you do. We could flood the 
			Promenade with chroniton 
			radiation.

					WINN 
			Are you suggesting we kill a 
			Prophet?

					SISKO
			I won't do that.

	Bashir steps forward. Clearly he and the others have 
	discussed this option among themselves.

					BASHIR 
			You don't have to. If we ramp up 
			the chroniton levels slowly, it'll 
			give the Wormhole Alien a chance 
			to leave Kira's body before it's 
			harmed.

					DAX
				(indicating a panel) 
			We have everything rigged and 
			ready to go. Just say the word.

	Sisko makes his decision --
