DEEP SPACE NINE: "Rejoined" - REV. 08/31/95 - ACT THREE      34.

	Bejal is just as positive about their work, but there's 
	something on his mind and he's not sure how to bring it 
	up.

					LENARA 
			All the telemetry checks out... 
			the wormhole was open for twenty- 
			three point four seconds, and  
			during that time it was completely  
			coherent.

					BEJAL  
			You couldn't ask for a better  
			beginning. But it all comes down  
			to the next test. We have to be  
			able to send an object through the  
			wormhole to prove that it's stable  
			enough for space travel.

					LENARA 
			That reminds me... Dax thinks we  
			should use a Class Four probe to  
			make the actual run. She says the  
			Class Four shielding will give us  
			a better idea of how the wormhole  
			will affect a real ship.

					BEJAL  
			Oh... I didn't know you talked to  
			Dax since we got back.

					LENARA  
			I saw her last night.

					BEJAL 
			Where?

					LENARA
			She stopped by my quarters...

					BEJAL  
			And how long did she stay?

	Lenara starts to realize what Bejal is getting at.
