DEEP SPACE NINE: "Rejoined" - 08/30/95 - TEASER           3.

2    INT. CAPTAIN'S OFFICE

	SISKO is waiting as Dax ENTERS. He's serious, a man 
	about to deliver some potentially disturbing news.

					SISKO
			Have a seat.

	Dax sits and Sisko moves to sit on the edge of the desk 
	close to her.

					SISKO
				(continuing) 
			A Trill science team is on its way 
			to the station. They're coming to 
			conduct field tests on an 
			experimental technique for 
			creating artificial wormholes.

					DAX 
			Sounds interesting.

					SISKO
			It's an important project and I've 
			agreed to let them use the Defiant 
			for their experiments.
				(beat) 
			But I thought you should know that 
			the leader of the Trill science 
			team... is Doctor Lenara Kahn.

	Dax sits back in her chair and we can see that she's 
	caught completely off-guard. She's shocked and can't 
	quite decide exactly how she feels at this moment, but 
	tries to maintain her usual calm.

					DAX
			Kahn? Lenara... Kahn?

					SISKO 
			That's right.
				(gently) 
			You have about three months worth 
			of leave accumulated. Why don't 
			you take some of it? We can get 
			along without you for a while.

					DAX
				(wry) 
			Am I that dispensable around here?

					SISKO
				(joking) 
			We won't even notice you're gone.

	Dax smiles a little, but lets out a long breath and 
	makes her decision.
