      DEEP SPACE NINE: "The Sword... " - REV. 10/03/95 - TEASER       7.

6    CONTINUED: 

	Kor reaches into his vest and extracts a folded, 
	tattered and frayed old piece of cloth. Kor unravels 
	the cloth; the cloth is rimmed with bizarre 
	hieroglyphics; there is a faint ink block-like spot 
	extending the length of the cloth in the shape of a 
	curved blade.

					KOR
			You see?

					DAX
			See what?

					KOR
			The imprint on the cloth --

					WORF
			Yes!
				(touching it 
				reverentially) 
			This held the Sword of Kahless.

					DAX
			Don't be so sure... you could 
			carpet this station with all the 
			"authentic" Shrouds of the Sword 
			people have tried to peddle.

					KOR 
			No one tried to peddle this -- it 
			was given to me.

					DAX
			By whom?

					KOR 
			I'll tell you everything, later. 
			Now, I need you to confirm its 
			authenticity.

	Dax is intrigued enough to offer:

					DAX 
			I'll look this over in the lab -- 
			first thing in the morning.

					WORF
			Why not right now?

					DAX
			My head is swimming in bloodwine.
			Right now --

	Dax gets up to leave.
