DEEP SPACE: "Destiny" - REV. 12/19/94 - ACT FIVE          57.

57   CONTINUED:

	Sisko sees the same TEST PATTERN on an off-camera display 
	in the shuttlepod.

					SISKO
			How is that possible?

					DAX
				(off console)
			I'm not sure... I'm reading a subspace 
			filament leading back through the 
			wormhole... it's acting almost like 
			a carrier wave...

					O'BRIEN
			The comet fragments... they left a 
			trail of silithium in the wormhole.

					ULANI
			The silithium particles must have 
			interacted with the wormhole's ambient 
			radiation...

					GILORA
			And created the filament...

	END INTERCUT ON SHUTTLE:

					SISKO
			It's almost like the wormhole's been 
			wedged open just a crack... enough 
			to let subspace signals through...

	Kira suddenly realizes something... an astonished look comes 
	across her face...

					KIRA
				(softly)
			The prophecy came true... all of 
			it... we just misinterpreted Trakor's 
			words...

	Sisko turns to her...

					KIRA
			The three vipers... he wasn't talking 
			about the Cardassians... he meant 
			the three comet fragments...

	Sisko realizes where she's going... it's all beginning to 
	make sense to him... a sense of wonder overtakes them both 
	as they realize what's occurred...
