                           ACT FIVE                             

	FADE IN:

66   INT. DEFIANT - MESS HALL

	where Quark and Hanok are gingerly lifting the casing 
	off the warhead.

					QUARK
			Gently...

	They set it aside, breathe a sigh of relief. They look 
	inside the warhead, and are dismayed to see that the 
	alien technology is complex and far from clear.

					QUARK
			Okay... now what... ?

	Quark pulls out the tricorder, scans the torpedo. 
	Hanok studies the innards for a moment... then 
	indicates a particular set of diodes.

					HANOK
			One of these diodes connects the 
			warhead to the power source... the 
			other is the firing mechanism.

	Quark gives him a look.

					QUARK
			How do you know that?

					HANOK 
			I saw a design schematic once.

					QUARK 
			Where?

					HANOK 
			At the Ministry of Trade on 
			Karemma.
				(off Quark's look) 
			We sell these torpedoes to the 
			Jem'Hadar.

	Quark is momentarily stunned...

					QUARK
			You're kidding.

					HANOK 
			No...
