       DEEP SPACE NINE: - "Hard Time" - REV. 2/05/96 - TEASER        2.

2    CONTINUED:

	The Prisoner shakes off the effect of the beam with
	some effort, taking a moment to catch his breath. The
	sand floor is now completely smooth. With resigned
	determination, the Prisoner begins drawing a new
	mandala.

	But he hasn't gotten far when the cell door opens with
	the sound of sliding bolts and the flash of a
	forcefield disengaging.

	The Prisoner stands up and backs cautiously away from
	the door, eyeing it with suspicion.

3    ANGLE ON THE DOOR

	As it opens, revealing a formidable-looking PRISON
	GUARD backlit by a blinding blue light. The Guard
	ENTERS the cell. He's an ARGRATHI, a humanoid alien of
	a type we've never seen before. He carries a high-tech
	looking baton and watches the Prisoner warily.

	The Guard is followed by a second Argrathi, an older
	woman dressed in a style that conveys authority. This
	is K'PAR RINN, the chief administrator of this alien
	prison.

					RINN
			Miles Edward O'Brien.

4    NEW ANGLE

	Close on the Prisoner, who we finally recognize for the
	first time. It's CHIEF O'BRIEN, aged and worn from two
	decades in prison.

					RINN
			The Argrathi Authority has been
			conducting a review of your case.
			Do you wish to add anything to the
			official record?

	O'Brien looks frightened and broken. All he can manage
	is a shake of his head. Rinn allows herself the barest
	trace of a smile.
