7    EXT. SPACE - DEEP SPACE NINE (OPTICAL) (STOCK)

	to see a Klingon Bird of Prey docked at the station.

8    INT. AIRLOCK CORRIDOR

	As the airlock door OPENS and Quark pokes his head
	out, looking up and down the corridor.

					ROM (0.S.)
			Anyone out there?

					QUARK
			Not that I can see.

					ROM (0.S)
			Then let's do it.

	Quark hesitates, then reluctantly his head
	disappears back inside the airlock.

					QUARK (O.S.)
			All right, together now -- lift!

	We hear Quark and Rom GRUNTING with effort as they
	lift an object.

					ROM (0. S.)
			It's heavy...

					QUARK (O.S.)
			I noticed.

	Quark leads the way out down the steps leading into
	the corridor. Rom follows. They strain under the
	heavy load they're carrying. Just what it is
	they're holding, we can't see. Why? Because it's
	invisible. That's right... they're carrying a
	cloaked cloaking device.

					QUARK
			Watch the steps...

					ROM
				(looking down)
			I see them, brother.
