DEEP SPACE NINE: "The Sound... " - REV. 4/14/98 - ACT FOUR     46.

	Sisko makes up his mind.

					SISKO
			Use the phaser reserve, Chief.
			Give us all the speed you can.

					O'BRIEN
			Aye, sir. Thank you, sir.

	O'Brien and Bashir quickly EXIT. Worf goes back to the 
	Tactical console. Sisko moves to the command chair 
	just as Kasidy ENTERS.

					KASIDY
			How's it going?

	Sisko tenses up just at the sight of her.

					SISKO
				(tense)
			We're... increasing speed. The
			captain's condition is worsening.

					KASIDY
			I see. Is there anything I can do?

					SISKO
			I don't think so.

	Kasidy nods. There's an uncomfortable silence in the 
	air between them. Sisko clearly doesn't want her here 
	right now and she can pick up on it.

					KASIDY
			Well. I guess I'll see you later.

					SISKO
				Right.

					KASIDY
			Right.

	She EXITS. OFF Sisko's troubled expression...
