DEEP SPACE NINE: "Paradise Lost" - REV. 11/14/95 - ACT TWO     21.

13   CONTINUED:	(2)

					ODO
			I suppose so. I doubt there's
			ever been a cadet in Starfleet who
			was quite so... slippery.

	Just then, there's a knock at the door. Odo goes and
	looks through the window, then opens the door. Nog
	ENTERS, looking harried.

					NOG
			Sorry I'm late...

					SISKO
			Where's Cadet Shepherd?

					NOG
			That's a good question. I
			couldn't find him anywhere.

					ODO
			What do you mean, you couldn't
			find him?

					NOG
			I mean he's gone. And as far as
			I can tell so is every other
			member of Red Squad. The rumor is
			they've all been sent on some kind
			of training exercise.

					LEYTON (O.S.)
			I'm afraid Cadet Shepherd won't be
			returning to Earth anytime soon.

14   NEW ANGLE

	To reveal ADMIRAL LEYTON, who has just entered. Nog,
	who has no idea what's really going on, sees an
	opportunity to make an important connection.

					NOG
			Admiral Leyton, it's an honor to
			meet you. My name is --

					LEYTON
				(interrupting)
			Return to your quarters, cadet.

	Nog is surprised and a little disappointed at the
	sharpness of Leyton's tone. He looks to Sisko, who
	nods. Nog EXITS.
