70:[5,#b],79:[4,#b] DEEP SPACE: "The Jem'Hadar" - REV. 04/22/94 - ACT ONE 19. 22 CONTINUED: ERIS (to Quark) How many of them are there? QUARK (not sure what she's talking about) There's just the two of us. ERIS Not you. The Jem'Hadar. Sisko gets back onto his feet. SISKO We don't know who you're talking about, but we're not your enemies. Quark starts to get up. We hear the sound of more rustling in the undergrowth. But this time, the rustling is more violent, as if several people are approaching. ERIS Then you'd better run. But before they can, everyone notices... 23 NEW ANGLE (OPTICAL) the bushes part... As suddenly four JEM'HADAR soldiers shimmer into view. (This is the same kind of invisibility effect used by Tosk in CAPTIVE PURSUIT. The thought behind this is that the same people who breed the Tosks as gifts to the hunters breed the Jem'Hadar as well.) The Jem'Hadar are genetically engineered soldiers. Unlike the Klingons they have no interest in honor or glory. And unlike the Cardassians and Romulans, they have no love of intrigue or politics. The closest twentieth century analogy would be the professional mercenary, but unlike mercenaries, Jem'Hadar don't fight for material gain and can't be bribed or negotiated with. They are the ultimate professionals. And they look scary, too. The Jem'Hadar leader (THIRD TALAK'TALAN) aims a sinister- looking weapon at Eris.
