DEEP SPACE NINE: "Siege of AR-558" - REV. 10/13/98 - ACT ONE    17.

21   CONTINUED:

					BASHIR
			Captain, can I have a minute?

	Bashir gestures for Sisko to join him a few feet
	away from Larkin so that they can talk privately.

					SISKO
			Go ahead.

					BASHIR
			These people... their physical
			and mental health are precarious
			at best. They need more than a
			few food replicators and some
			medical supplies... they need to
			be shipped out of here.

					SISKO
			I understand, but right now
			there's nothing I can do about
			it.

	But before Bashir can reply, we hear a loud
	EXPLOSION close by the bunker.

					LARKIN
			Damn it --

	Larkin moves out of the bunker, Sisko and Bashir

	follow.

22   EXT. BASE CAMP - CONTINUOUS

	Sisko, Bashir and Larkin come upon a group of
	soldiers standing around a dead body we can't see.

23   NEW ANGLE

	as Sisko and the others make their way through the
	crowd, which includes Reese, Vargas and Nog, to get
	to the fallen soldier. Bashir bends down out of
	camera range to check the body.
