          DEEP SPACE: "Defiant" - REV. 10/07/94 - ACT FOUR          41.

37   CONTINUED:	(2)

	Riker moves back to the Command chair.  Kira peers at him 
	for a moment.

					KIRA
			You're really not cut out for this 
			are you?
				(off his look)
			Being a terrorist, I mean.  You're 
			not very good at it.

					RIKER
				(amused)
			Really?

					KIRA
			That's right.  You're still acting 
			like a Starfleet officer who's more 
			worried about intelligence reports 
			and Cardassian politics than about 
			actually hurting the Cardassians.

	Kira stands up and moves around the Bridge.

					KIRA
				(continuing)
			You have one of the most powerful 
			ships in this quadrant under your 
			command.  Why aren't you out 
			destroying every Cardassian outpost 
			along the border?

					RIKER
			Because the stakes here are far 
			greater than border outposts.

					KIRA
			Not for the Maquis there're not.  
			That's because the Maquis are a group 
			of terrorists and all terrorists 
			care about is destroying their enemy.  
			I know... because I was a terrorist.
				(beat)
			And if I had this ship in those days, 
			I would've destroyed Deep Space 
			Nine... I would've hit the Cardassians 
			so hard that they would have screamed 
			for peace... but I wouldn't have 
			gone flying off into the heart of 
			Cardassia on some wild goose chase.
