27   INT. CAVES

	Sisko and Kasidy move through a dark, sandstone-like 
	cave. They each turn on their BEACON LIGHTS. Sisko 
	checks his tricorder, before announcing:

					SISKO
			This way.

	Kasidy follows him, disappearing into the darkness of 
	one of the cave passageways.

28   ANOTHER SECTION OF THE CAVES

	Sisko continues to lead Kasidy through the treacherous 
	terrain, their light beacons illuminating the way.

	along.

	Suddenly, Sisko stops -- his head throbbing with an 
	excruciating pain. He leans against the cave wall for 
	support. Kasidy rushes up to him.

					KASIDY
