                           ACT FOUR                             

	FADE IN:

68   EXT. BASE CAMP - NIGHT

	Sisko and Quark are talking to Bashir.

					QUARK
			What happens now? You'll be able
			to replace the leg, won't you?

					BASHIR
			Once we get him to a hospital, he
			can be given a biosynthetic limb.
				(glancing at Sisko)
			Unfortunately, there may be
			complications...

					QUARK
			What's that supposed to mean?

					BASHIR
			Nog suffered severe thermal
			damage to his femoral motor
			nerves. I'm not sure they'll be
			able to stimulate artificial
			muscle tissue. There's no way to
			know that until the operation is
			performed.
				(a beat)
			I'd better get back inside...

	As Bashir EXITS, we stay with Sisko and Quark.

					QUARK
			We've got to get Nog to a
			hospital!
