DEEP SPACE NINE: "Empok Nor" - REV. 04/07/97 - TEASER        7.

5    CONTINUED:

	Garak stiffens and stares at O'Brien for a beat.

					O'BRIEN 
			What's the matter?

					GARAK
			It's just that lately, I've 
			noticed that everyone seems to... 
			trust me. It's quite unnerving. 
			I'm still trying to get used to 
			it. Next thing I know, people 
			will be inviting me to their homes 
			for dinner.

	Despite his protestations to the contrary, O'Brien can 
	tell that Garak is somewhat pleased to be "settling in" 
	to life on the station.

					O'BRIEN 
			If it makes you feel any better, 
			I promise I'll never have you 
			over.

					GARAK, 
			I appreciate that, Chief.

					O'BRIEN 
			Don't mention it. Anything to 
			return the favor. Disarming 
			Cardassian boobytraps is not my 
			favorite kind of engineering.

6    NEW ANGLE

	At the door to the runabout, Boq'ta, a Bolian engineer, 
	looks up from his work and turns to Pechetti, another 
	engineer, human, in his mid-thirties.

					BOQ'TA 
			Booby-traps... I can't believe I 
			let you talk me into volunteering 
			for this.

					PECHETTI 
			Beats working on the waste 
			extraction system.
				(tapping his phaser) 
			Besides, how often does an 
			engineer get to wear a phaser?

	Stolzoff and Amaro, the security officers, both human, 
	exchange smiles. Stolzoff is female; Amaro is male. 
	The security officers have phaser rifles, while the 
	engineers, Boq'ta and Pechetti, have hand phasers.
