DEEP SPACE NINE: "Field of Fire" - REV. 11/23/98 - ACT ONE      9.

					ODO
			That's correct.

					SISKO
			Chief, did you ever hear of the
			TR-one-one-six rifle?

					O'BRIEN
				(nodding)
			It was a prototype. Developed by
			Starfleet Security to operate in
			energy dampening fields or
			radiogenic environments.

					SISKO
			That's right. Anywhere that a
			normal phaser would be useless.
			If I'm not mistaken, the TR-one-
			one-six fired a chemically 
			propelled tritanium "bullet."

					ODO
			You said it was a prototype -- 
			were they ever mass-produced?

					O'BRIEN
			No, Starfleet abandoned the TR-
			one-one-six in favor of
			regenerative phasers.

					SISKO
			That doesn't mean our killer
			couldn't have gotten hold of the
			rifle's replication patterns.

					O'BRIEN
			But only Starfleet officers have
			access to those files.

					SISKO
			Disturbing thought, isn't it?

					BASHIR
			Starfleet officers don't go
			around murdering one another.

					ODO
				(correcting)
			Not usually, anyway.

					O'BRIEN
				(off his tricorder)
			That's odd...
