DEEP SPACE: "Through... Glass" - 02/02/95 - ACT ONE         15.

17   NEW ANGLE

	To reveal Sisko, ENTERING with a swagger, flanked by O'Brien 
	and Bashir.  The rebels react with surprise and happiness at 
	Sisko's arrival.

					REBELS
				(ad lib)
			Captain... You're back... Where have 
			you been... Captain Sisko...

					ROM
			Captain, you're alive.

	For a beat, Sisko's a little taken aback at seeing the mirror 
	counterparts of Rom and Bashir.  O'Brien, seeing Sisko's 
	hesitation, steps in.

					O'BRIEN
			Of course he's alive.  You can't 
			kill the Captain.  He's too ornery 
			to die.

	Sisko picks up on O'Brien's cue and snaps into the Captain 
	Sisko role.

					SISKO
				(re: Bashir)
			I hope I haven't disappointed anyone.

					BASHIR
				(with some reluctance)
			We're glad you're all right.

					SISKO
			I'm sure you are.

					TUVOK
			We heard your fighter had been 
			destroyed.  The Alliance said you 
			were dead.

					SISKO
			Just their propaganda machine, working 
			overtime.  But you know what that 
			tells me?
				(smiles)
			They're scared.

	The smiles and affirmations from the crowd show that they 
	agree with him.  Sisko's only been back a few seconds, and 
	he's already got them in the palm of his hand.
