STAR TREK: DEEP SPACE NINE "Waltz" - REV. 11/12/97 - ACT ONE     9.

9    CONTINUED:

	The WIND can be HEARD howling outside in the b.g. 
	Dukat is applying a HYPOSPRAY to Sisko's neck.

					DUKAT 
			Benjamin? Benjamin, can you hear 
			me?

	Sisko's eyes flutter and then he tries to focus on 
	Dukat.

					SISKO
			Dukat... ?

					DUKAT 
			Yes. Everything's all right, but 
			don't try to move too quickly. 
			The left side of your body is 
			covered with plasma burns.

	Sisko takes a drink from the canteen, and catches his 
	breath, before trying to figure out what's happened.

					SISKO 
			We were... in the brig... the ship 
			went to Red Alert...

					DUKAT 
			We were attacked -- by a wing of 
			Cardassian ships, ironically.

					SISKO
			I was heading for Engineering...

					DUKAT 
			You didn't get very far. A plasma 
			conduit exploded before you got 
			fifteen meters down the Corridor. 
			That's where Lieutenant McConnell 
			and I found you when the order 
			came to abandon ship.

					SISKO
			Where's McConnell?
