     DEEP SPACE NINE: "Apocalypse... " - REV. 07/19/96 - ACT ONE     12.

					BASHIR
			Very impressive.
				(speaking for everyone)
			What are they?

19A NEW ANGLE (OPTICAL)

	Dax activates the monitor, which displays a schematic 
	of the four emitters putting out waves of energy.

					DAX
			They're modified polaron emitters.


					SISKO
			Starfleet Science thinks that 
			exposure to polaron radiation will 
			have a destabilizing effect on 
			changeling physiology.

					ODO
			In other words, if you use these 
			on Gowron, and he is one of my 
			people, he won't be able to retain 
			his humanoid shape.

					SISKO
			That's the theory.

					DAX
			The problem is, for it to work 
			properly, you have to activate all 
			four emitters at once.

					O'BRIEN
			I hate prototypes.

					DAX
			Plus, too much polaron radiaton 
			can be fatal. Which means we can 
			only expose a person once. Any 
			more than that and, changeling or 
			not, they'll die of radiation 
			poisoning.

	Dax deactivates the monitor.

					SISKO
			The plan is to smuggle these into 
			Ty'Gokor. Once they're set up, 
			they can cover about twelve 
			thousand cubic meters.


	Which leaves a lot of unanswered questions as far as 
	O'Brien's concerned.
