       DEEP SPACE NINE: "The Ship" - REV. 07/29/96 - ACT THREE      35.

55   CONTINUED:

					DAX
			It doesn't make sense. If he'd been 
			carrying a rifle, O'Brien and 
			I would be dead. But all he had 
			was a knife.

					WORF
			And why send only one Jem'Hadar?

	Sisko looks around the ship for a moment, considering 
	the possibilities.

					SISKO
			There's something about this 
			ship... something so important 
			they won't risk destroying it in 
			a full-on assault.

					WORF
			If that's true, we need to find 
			out what it is.


					DAX
			The first thing we need to do is 
			make a structural scan of the 
			ship... make our own blueprints.

					SISKO
			Get started.

	Worf and Dax head for the door.

					WORF
			It would be most efficient if we 
			each began at opposite ends of the
			ship and met back in the middle.

					DAX
				(with a twinkle)
			I'll count the minutes we're 
			apart.

	Worf and Dax EXIT.

56   NEW ANGLE

	Muniz lets out a painful GROAN. O'Brien is still 
	attending to him.

					MUNIZ
			I'm leaking like a ruptured plasma 
			conduit aren't I, sir?
