DEEP SPACE NINE: "Rocks & Shoals" - REV. 8/15/97 - ACT THREE    36.

51   CONTINUED:

					SISKO 
			I see. Well, then I want to talk 
			to someone who can negotiate. I 
			want to speak with your First.

	There's the slightest hesitation before he answers.

					REMATA'KLAN 
			There is no First.

					SISKO 
			I take it there's no Second 
			either.

					REMATA'KLAN 
			I command the unit.

					SISKO 
			Under the Vorta.

	Sisko sees a flicker of something in Remata'Klan's eyes 
	that tells him this might be an area worth probing.

					SISKO 
			It must be hard... for a soldier 
			to take orders from a Vorta.

					REMATA'KLAN 
			The Vorta command the Jem'Hadar. 
			It is the order of things.

					SISKO
			"Obedience Brings Victory."
				(off his surprised look) 
			I was on a mission with the 
			Jem'Hadar once -- before the war, 
			of course. They were good. 
			Tough. Professional. It was an 
			honor to serve with them. But 
			their Vorta... he was something 
			different. Manipulative. 
			Treacherous. Trusted by neither 
			side.
				(beat) 
			In the end, he was killed. By the 
			Jem'Hadar First.

	Remata'Klan is surprised and it shows.

					SISKO 
			Surprised?
