					SISKO
			What?

	The viewscreen goes dead.

18   EXT. SPACE - THE DEFIANT (OPTICAL)

	The Defiant goes INTO WARP.

19   INT. OPS

	As before.

					DAX
			She's gone into warp.  I've lost 
			them.

	OFF Sisko's stunned reaction as he begins to realize what's 
	happened and he looks determined to do something about it.

									CUT TO:

20   INT. DEFIANT - BRIDGE

	Kalita is sitting at the helm.  Tamal is working at a 
	bulkhead, which is spewing out gas and smoke.  Riker is 
	sitting in the command chair.

					KALITA
				(off console)
			We're beyond their sensor range.

					RIKER
			Set course for the Badlands.  Warp 
			seven.

	Riker turns in the chair toward Tamal.

					RIKER
			Tamal, secure that conduit.

	Tamal works for a moment, and then the gas and smoke STOP.  
	Riker begins to pull off the beard he's been wearing... 
	revealing the face of Thomas Riker.

					KALITA
				(off console)
			Course laid in.  We'll be in the 
			Badlands in six hours.

	She turns and smiles at him.
