            DEEP SPACE: "Visionary" - 01/03/95 - ACT TWO            18.

26   CONTINUED:	(2)

	Sisko stops for a second.

					SISKO
			And Major... when you're in with the 
			Romulans, try to be... diplomatic.

					KIRA
				(surprised)
			I'm always diplomatic.

									CUT TO:

27   INT. WARDROOM

	Kira is leaning on the table, snarling at Ruwon and Karina.

					KIRA
			That is the most ridiculous thing I 
			have ever heard, and I resent the 
			implication!

	Ruwon eyes her impassively.

					RUWON
			You seem very agitated for someone 
			proclaiming her innocence.

					KARINA
			Indeed, your emotional state would 
			seem to indicate that our theory is 
			correct and you did abandon the 
			Defiant prematurely when it was 
			attacked by the Jem'Hadar.

	Kira tries to clamp down on her temper.  With great effort, 
	she sits back down in her chair and folds her hands in front 
	of her.  When she speaks again, it's with the strained 
	patience of someone bending over backwards to cooperate.

					KIRA
				(forced calm)
			When the Defiant was attacked, Odo 
			and I were trapped belowdecks.  
			There was a hand-to-hand fight in 
			the corridors.  I was wounded and I 
			lost consciousness.  When I came to, 
			Odo had already put me aboard a 
			shuttle and we had escaped.  I did 
			not "abandon" the ship prematurely.

	Ruwon looks at a PADD for a moment.
