DEEP SPACE: "Whispers" - 11/16/93 - ACT FIVE            48.

80   CLOSER ON O'BRIEN

	Withdrawing a tricorder, he scans for life signs... proceeds 
	cautiously with heightened senses...

81   AT THE END OF THE CORRIDOR

	he reaches a door... the tricorder tells him there are humans 
	inside... he takes a breath, hits the door panel... it opens, 
	he rolls in, gun drawn...

82   INT. CHAMBER

	A rough, rebel meeting room with a door to an adjoining room.  
	Sisko and Kira are meeting with a rebel Paradan leader, 
	COUTU... there is an armed Bodyguard who reacts too late to 
	stop O'Brien... they all turn at O'Brien's dramatic 
	entrance...

					O'BRIEN
			Having a little unscheduled 
			negotiation with the rebels, are we?

					SISKO
			You don't understand... put down 
			your weapons and we'll explain...

					O'BRIEN
			I've got a better idea... you put 
			down yours first.  Do it.

	Sisko nods to Kira and they drop their phasers... the armed 
	guard hesitates...

					O'BRIEN
			You too.

	The guard drops his holstered weapon.

					COUTU
			Everything you need to understand is 
			behind this door.

					O'BRIEN
			Sure.  Like a squadron of rebels, 
			maybe?

	The rebel leader moves slowly toward the door...

					COUTU
			No.  If you'd just permit me...
