DEEP SPACE NINE: "Apocalypse... " - REV. 07/19/96 - ACT THREE    37.

58   CONTINUED:

	Martok and his two Yan-Isleth are headed straight for 
	Sisko and his crew.

					0'BRIEN
			What if he recognizes us?

					ODO
			Then we've come a long way for 
			nothing.

	The tension grows as Martok moves closer and closer. 
	It feels like everyone in the room is standing except 
	for Sisko and the others. Just as Martok walks up to 
	them, Sisko rises to his feet and lets out a hearty...

					SISKO
			Q'apla!

	Odo, Worf, and O'Brien follow Sisko's lead.

					ODO, WORF, AND O'BRIEN
			Martok, Q'apla!

	Martok glances at the five "Klingons" without any sign 
	of recognition.

					MARTOK
				(nonchalant)
			Q'apla.

	Martok walks away.

59   CLOSE ON SISKO, WORF, ODO, AND O'BRIEN

	Everyone looks at each other for a beat, all feeling 
	the same thing. They've just come about as close to 
	disaster as they ever want to get. (They all know 
	they've got to get the emitters ready fast.) In the 
	background, we see Martok stopping at the wine drum.

					WORF
			If Martok is here, Gowron won't be
			far behind.

					SISKO
			Let's get it done.

60   NEW ANGLE

	The group disperses. O'Brien, Odo, and Worf are headed 
	for the statues at the corners of the hall and Sisko's 
	goal is the central pedestal.
