    DEEP SPACE NINE: "The Changing... " - REV. 02/23/99 - ACT FOUR   41.
                           ACT FOUR                             

	FADE IN:

32   INT. DEFIANT - BRIDGE

	Abuzz with activity, as the CREW prepares the ship 
	for departure. Kira is at helm, Worf is at Primary 
	Tactical. Ezri's next to him at Science/Com, while 
	Nog stands behind Engineering, working the panel.

					NOG 
			This is bad... very bad.

					KIRA 
			You say that every time we take 
			the Defiant into battle.

					NOG
				(re: his panel) 
			Impulse manifold purged and 
			clear.
				(re: Kira's comment) 
			If we lose the Chin'toka System, 
			we lose our only foothold in 
			Dominion territory. I think that 
			qualifies as "bad."

					KIRA 
			We haven't lost it yet. 
			Initiating impulse pre-start 
			sequence.

					NOG 
			Microfusion generators on line. 
			But the Breen... they seem 
			unstoppable. First Earth, now 
			Chin'toka.

					WORF
				(to Nog) 
			Ensign -- no one is unstoppable. 
			Collimate the nadion emitters.

	Nog quickly moves over to another position and works 
	the panel.

					NOG 
			Collimation sequence in progress.

33   O'BRIEN AND BASHIR

	step onto the Bridge.
