     DEEP SPACE NINE: "Prodigal... " - REV. 11/05/98 - ACT THREE     45.

					JANEL
			It says fifty-two J...

					O'BRIEN
			I know. But it's definitely an
			L. It must've been accidently
			mislabeled.

					JANEL
				(darkly)
			Or deliberately...

	A voice interrupts.

					BOKAR'S VOICE
			Another equipment failure?

	They turn to see that BOKAR has just stepped into
	the cavern. Bokar is a well-dressed Farian (also in
	a helmet) who has a somewhat chilling quality to him
	despite his outwardly pleasant demeanor.

					BOKAR
				(to Janel)
			Perhaps if you hadn't dismissed
			Mister Lorkin, this wouldn't have
			happened.

					JANEL
				(tight)
			He was dismissed on my Mother's
			personal order.

					BOKAR
			Then we'll have to find a way of
			changing her mind, won't we?

	Janel glares at him, but says nothing. Bokar's gaze
	goes to O'Brien, who's taken an instant dislike to
	Bokar.

					BOKAR
				(continuing)
			Who's your new mechanic, Janel?

					JANEL
			This is Mister O'Brien. He's a
			friend of the family.

					BOKAR
			That wouldn't be Chief O'Brien
			would it?

					O'BRIEN
			How'd you know that?
