DEEP SPACE: "Dax" - 11/17/92 - ACT TWO               18.

46   CONTINUED:	(2)

					ODO
			How about a "traitor"?
				(off monitor)
			This says Dax betrayed the Klaestron 
			government to the rebels.

					SISKO
				(dismissive)
			It's all nonsense.  I'm telling you, 
			Constable, I knew the man.

					ODO
				(beat)
			But did you know the symbiont inside 
			the man?

	And they just look at each other... Each from his own 
	perspective.

47   INT. DAX'S QUARTERS

	She sits alone... in the dark.  The door CHIMES.  As she 
	turns on a moderate light:

					DAX
			Come in.

	Sisko ENTERS.  She knows what's coming... returns to her 
	seat... to stare straight ahead -- at her own thoughts -- 
	during:

					SISKO
			I've sent a subspace message 
			to Klaestron Four requesting 
			confirmation of the warrant.  That's 
			the only stall I could think of.  
			Now what the hell's going on, Dax?

	As Dax doesn't reply:

					SISKO
			Dax, if I'm going to help you, you've 
			got to help me.

					DAX
			I don't expect help, Benjamin.  Thank 
			you, though.
