        DEEP SPACE NINE: "Rapture" - REV. 10/23/96 - ACT TWO        17.

23   CONTINUED:

	Kira knows that Sisko is right -- this is much more 
	than a'dream.

					KIRA
			You could see the future as well 
			as the past?

					SISKO
			And for one moment, I could see 
			the pattern that held it all 
			together.

	Kira looks at Sisko with reverence and awe for "The 
	Emissary."

					KIRA
			You had a pagh'tem'far -- a sacred 
			vision.

					SISKO
			I don't know what I had. But it 
			felt... wonderful.

	Kira smiles, reassured by her own faith.

					KIRA 
			The Prophets chose well when they 
			made you their Emissary.
				(with a touch of humor)
			So how does it all fit together?

					SISKO
			I wish I knew.
				(playful)
			Someone woke me up.

	Kira feels like she interrupted the Pope's prayer.

					KIRA
			I was worried about you.

					SISKO
			I understand. If I found you in 
			the middle of a pagh'tem'far, I'd 
			probably be worried, too.


	A com voice interrupts the moment:

					O'BRIEN'S COM VOICE
			O'Brien to Captain Sisko.

					SISKO
			Go ahead.
