	FADE IN:

1    INT. BAJORAN CAVERN

	A place of meeting and meditation somewhere on Bajor. 
	The cavern floor is spotless stone and there are a few 
	simple religious ARTIFACTS around the cavern, including 
	a suspended CANDLEHOLDER which is UNLIT at the moment. 
	Five N.D. Bajoran Monks are sitting down cross-legged 
	on the floor around the artifacts in a position of 
	contemplation. Once they've settled, LATHA MABRIN 
	ENTERS the cavern.

					LATHA
			I am Vedek Latha Mabrin and I 
			welcome you to the Calash Retreat. 
			Today we begin prayer and 
			meditation in preparation for the 
			Days of Atonement. May the 
			Prophets walk with us as we begin 
			our journey.

	Latha sits on the floor inside the circle of Monks and 
	picks up a long ceremonial LIGHTER. He then leans 
	forward and uses it to light the long WICK of the 
	candle. The wick is more like a matchstick in that it 
	burns down quickly into the opaque glass base of the 
	candleholder itself.


	As the wick burns down, Latha takes his seat on the 
	floor, and closes his eyes in meditation. The other 
	Monks close their eyes as well.

2    INSERT - THE CANDLE

	The wick burns down into the glass base. When the flame 
	disappears from view, there is a beat and then 
	there seems to be a different series of several wicks 
	inside the holder hidden from view which are now lit, 
	giving a new flickering look to the glass base.

3    WIDER (OPTICAL)

	The Monks are deep in prayer when the candle holder 
	suddenly sends out SIX GLOWING BEAMS OF LIGHT. Each 
	beam focuses on the chest of a different Monk.
