DEEP SPACE NINE: "The Sound... " - REV. 4/14/98 - ACT FOUR     48.

					LISA'S VOICE (Cont'd) 
			But on the Defiant, she's a random 
			element... a piece that doesn't 
			fit anywhere in the puzzle.

	Long beat.

					SISKO 
			She was our convoy liaison officer 
			on our last mission, and a damned 
			good one...

					LISA'S VOICE 
			This isn't about her, this is 
			about you. You're having trouble 
			doing your job when she's on the 
			Defiant and that's a problem. 
			It's also affecting your 
			relationship, and that's another 
			problem.
				(beat) 
			Don't take it so hard. So you 
			can't mix your personal life and 
			your professional life? Most 
			people can't. I certainly can't. 
			I once served on the same starbase 
			as my sister -- what a nightmare 
			that was!

	Sisko smiles despite himself.

					SISKO 
			I'm looking forward to meeting 
			you, Lisa. And I know I'm not the 
			only one around here who feels 
			that way.

					LISA'S VOICE 
			If you ask me...
				(coughs)
			... everyone on that ship... could 
			use some R and R...

	She keeps coughing and Sisko's smile turns into a look 
	of worry...
