			We had one of the orbs aboard our 
			station.  We're aware of how powerful 
			they are.

					HOVATH
			Many years ago, this village was 
			deeply divided by hate and mistrust.  
			The first Sirah knew that unless he 
			could find a way to unite the people, 
			the village would destroy itself.  
			So he used the orb fragment as a 
			catalyst to give their fears a 
			physical form.

					O'BRIEN
			So the villagers' thoughts create the 
			Dal'Rok.

					HOVATH
			But they don't know that.  It's a 
			secret passed from Sirah to Sirah.

					O'BRIEN
			Why do they need a storyteller?

					HOVATH
			The story helps focus the villagers' 
			thoughts...

					BASHIR
				(putting it all 
				together)
			And enables them to defeat the Dal'Rok 
			by creating the shimmering lights.
