DEEP SPACE NINE: "To the Death" - REV. 04/01/96 - ACT FOUR     42.

57   INT. DEFIANT - CORRIDOR - ARMS LOCKER

	Close on O'Brien as he hands out phaser rifles to the 
	Starfleet officers. (Dax and Worf aren't present, 
	having already armed themselves. Odo's not there 
	either. He doesn't use guns.) After the last Starfleet 
	officer has been given a rifle, the Jem'Hadar line up 
	to receive their weapons. Omet'iklan holds out his 
	hand to receive a rifle. O'Brien hesitates.

					OMET'IKLAN
			I'm waiting.


	O'Brien looks over to Sisko, who stands nearby with 
	Weyoun. Sisko nods, silently telling O'Brien to go 
	ahead with it. O'Brien reluctantly gives Omet'iklan 
	a rifle. Omet'iklan passes it back and it works its way 
	down the line. O'Brien continues passing out rifles 
	until all the Jem'Hadar are armed.

	Virak'kara examines his rifle.

					O'BRIEN
			Don't worry. These aren't like 
			the ones we gave you during the 
			drill. They're fully charged.

					VIRAK'KARA
				(to Omet'iklan)
			This weapon is set on stun.
					OMET'IKLAN
				(to his men)
			Deactivate safeties. Reset 
			weapons to maximum power.

	The Jem'Hadar all comply. This makes the Federation 
	troops more than a little tense. For all they know the 
	Jem'Hadar could attack at any moment.

					WEYOUN
				(trying to lighten
				things up)
			Well, this is a momentous
			occasion. The first joint
			operation between the Dominion and
			the Federation. I can't wait to
			see how it turns out.

					SISKO 
			Prepare for transport.

					OMET'IKLAN
			Wait.

	Omet'iklan turns to his men. For the Jem'Hadar, this 
	is what passes for a religious ceremony.
