DEEP SPACE NINE: "The Quickening" - 03/19/96 - TEASER        6.

11   EXT. PLANET'S SURFACE - DAY (OPTICAL)

	Bashir and Dax MATERIALIZE on the surface... Both have 
	PHASERS and TRICORDERS at their sides and he has his 
	MEDKIT. They find themselves standing near a concrete 
	outcropping.

					KIRA'S COM VOICE
			Let's stay in close contact. If

They move around the outcropping to see...

12   EXT. RUINED CITY - DAY (OPTICAL/MATTE)

	What might have once been a bustling modern city 
	street. The few structures still standing are gutted, 
	blackened and scorched by fire. Shanties and other 
	makeshift structures are propped against them.

	The inhabitants of the planet, dressed in tattered 
	rags, can be seen milling about. They look human, but 
	they all have BLUE, vein-like WELTS on their faces.

	Some sit listlessly, with nothing to do. others are 
	carrying water in makeshift containers, lugging 
	firewood, tending fires burning in rusted-out 
	cylindrical containers. A few push wheelbarrow like 
	carts in front of them -- produce vendors, willing to 
	barter their paltry merchandise.

	There is no sign of power being generated anywhere, and 
	the inhabitants use the now useless artifacts from 
	their once-industrial civilization for other purposes -- 
	what might have once been an alien refrigerator, 
	for example, might now serve as part of someone's home.

	A MAN passes by pulling a CART with three dead BODIES 
	on it, partially covered by a tarp.

	Our people react to the scene of devastation before 
	them...
