        DEEP SPACE NINE: "Rejoined" - REV. 08/31/95 - ACT TWO       20.

15   CONTINUED:

					DAX 
			I'll have someone bring it here.

					PREN 
			No, no. I need a break anyway.

	Pren EXITS, leaving Dax and Lenara alone for the first 
	time. A few beats of silence pass as they both work 
	their consoles.

					LENARA 
			Now I'm getting a dropoff in the 
			triple-R output. We might have a 
			bigger problem than the diagnostic 
			subroutines.

	Dax gets up and moves over to take a look at Lenara's 
	console.

					DAX
			Don't panic yet. It could just be 
			a transtater failure. Happens all 
			the time.

	Dax is right next to Lenara as they both work the 
	console. A few beats of silence.

					LENARA
				(quiet)
			I wasn't panicking.

					DAX 
			It's just an expression.
				(looks at her in 
				surprise) 
			Sorry.

					LENARA
				(quickly) 
			No, I'm sorry. Forget it.

	They work a moment longer.

					LENARA
				(continuing) 
			It's just that... you always used 
			to -- I mean Torias always used to 
			tell Nilani that she was panicking 
			about things... making a big fuss 
			over nothing.
