DEEP SPACE NINE: "Trials and... " - REV. 08/30/96 - TEASER      6.

6A EXT. SPACE - THE DEFIANT (OPTICAL)

	As the ship CLOAKS.

					SISKO (V.O.) 
			With the Defiant under cloak we 
			left Cardassian space and managed 
			to avoid being detected by the 
			Klingons.

7    INT. DEFIANT - BRIDGE (OPTICAL)

	Dax is at the helm, Sisko is in the Command Chair, 
	O'Brien is at the Engineering station. On the 
	VIEWSCREEN, the stars streak by at warp. The LIGHTS 
	indicate we are cloaked.

					SISKO (V.O.) 
			We were halfway home, and I was 
			just starting to breath easy.

					O'BRIEN
				(to Dax)
			-- trust me, the next time you see 
			him, just sniff the air and say 
			"is that lilac?"

					DAX
			Find somebody else. I have my own 
			ways of torturing Worf.


					SISKO
			Don't look at me.

	Suddenly an ALARM goes off on O'Brien's console.

					O'BRIEN
				(off console)
			I'm picking up a massive surge in
			chronoton radiation around --

	Before he can finish, the Bridge suddenly DISTORTS and 
	we see a strange MULTIPLE IMAGING EFFECT which then 
	WHITES OUT the frame...

									FADE IN:

	The Bridge is quiet and everyone is sitting in the same 
	positions seen a moment ago with dazed expressions. It 
	takes them a few seconds to "come back" and get their 
	bearings. The viewscreen has gone to STATIC and the 
	consoles are flickering as if systems were only slowly 
	coming back on.

					SISKO
				(dazed) 
			What happened?
