          DEEP SPACE: "Whispers" - REV. 11/17/93 - ACT TWO          15.
                            ACT TWO                             

	FADE IN:

13   EXT. SPACE - DEEP SPACE NINE (OPTICAL)

					O'BRIEN (V.O.)
			Sisko was telling the truth about 
			one thing... the upper pylons had 
			failed again.  It didn't make any 
			sense...

14   INT. AIRLOCK - BY CIRCUIT PANELS

	O'Brien has it opened, working through with tech hand 
	sensors...

					O'BRIEN (V.O.)
				(continuing)
			... because the new pressure locks 
			I'd installed seemed to be working 
			just fine... so it had to be an 
			entirely new problem.  I realized it 
			wasn't going to be a quick matter to 
			track it down after all.  And I 
			couldn't help thinking how this was 
			going to keep me occupied while the 
			security arrangements for the Paradas 
			were underway.

	His face shows the concern and curiosity...

15   INT. HABITAT CORRIDOR

	DeCurtis is checking the insides of a manual control panel 
	beside a door to quarters as O'Brien arrives...

					O'BRIEN
			How's it coming, DeCurtis...

					DECURTIS
			Chief.  I thought you had your hands 
			full with the upper pylons.

					O'BRIEN
			I do.  Thought I'd take a break and 
			check in on your progress.

					DECURTIS
			Everything's on schedule here.  We've 
			done a complete sweep of all the 
			quarters assigned to the Paradas.
