DEEP SPACE NINE: "Broken... " - REV. 04/19/96 - ACT ONE        8.

5    CONTINUED:

					GOWRON (Cont'd)
			They are now part of the Klingon 
			Empire and we will never give them 
			up.

6    REVERSE ANGLE (OPTICAL)


	On SISKO, KIRA, DAX and WORF, somberly listening to 
	Gowron's polemic.

					GOWRON
				(on monitor)
			Furthermore, if the Federation 
			still harbors any hope of peaceful 
			coexistence with the Klingon 
			Empire, it must abandon all 
			Starbases and military 
			installations in the Archanis 
			Sector. Our claim to Archanis 
			Four and the surrounding territory 
			is ancient and indisputable. We 
			advise the Federation to leave 
			Archanis, or prepare to face the 
			consequences. Long live the 
			Empire.

	And with that, the image of Gowron is replaced by the 
	Seal of the Klingon Empire.

7    NEW ANGLE

	As Sisko reaches over and deactivates the monitor. For
	a moment, everyone's quiet as they ponder Gowron's 
	words.

					SISKO 
			This recording was sent to the 
			Federation Council three days ago.

					WORF
			If Gowron is willing to go to war 
			over the Archanis Sector, then he 
			has become even more dangerous 
			than I thought.

	Kira is still stewing over Gowron's demands.

					KIRA
			I don't get it. The Klingons 
			relinquished their claims to 
			Archanis Four a hundred years ago.
