23   CONTINUED:

					SISKO
			On screen.

	Kira punches buttons and here it comes, banking in hard.  
	O'Brien hurries to his station.

					SISKO
				(continuing)
			Dax, hail them.

					DAX
				(tries, then:)
			No response.

					KIRA
			The ship's taking up an attack 
			posture.

					DAX
			They're still ignoring us.

					O'BRIEN
			They're powering up their forward 
			disrupters.

					SISKO
			Shields!

					KIRA
			Shields up.

					SISKO
				(to Kira)
			Lock on phasers and photon 
			torpedoes... Prepare to return fire 
			if necessary.

	Garak ENTERS during this, immediately drawing everyone's 
	attention.

					GARAK
			Commander?
				(off reactions)
			We need to talk.

	What the hell is Garak doing in Ops?  We hold on Sisko's 
	curious reaction, then:

									FADE OUT.
