DEEP SPACE NINE: "Starship Down" - REV-09/19/95 - ACT TWO     30.

41   CONTINUED:

					SISKO 
			I don't know. Let's make it a 
			little harder on them... shut down 
			every non-essential system. It'll 
			minimize our power signature...

	Kira and Worf set to work, moving quickly to a few 
	consoles to shut them off... we hear the SOUND of power 
	systems winding down.

					SISKO 
			All stop.

	Carson works her console.

					SISKO
				(to Worf) 
			Program the probe to home in on 
			the first metallic signature it 
			finds.

	Worf reacts... this is dangerous stuff. As he works his 
	console:

					WORF 
			If it doesn't locate anything 
			within fifty kilometers, the probe 
			might turn back and home in on the 
			Defiant.

					KIRA 
			What if they've changed course, 
			moved out of range?

					SISKO 
			Something tells me they're closer 
			than you think...

	He says this with the simple conviction that comes from 
	instinct.

					WORF 
			The probe is ready, sir.

	Sisko stands perfectly still for a beat, listening to 
	the wind outside...

					SISKO 
			Fire.
