184:[1,#b] DEEP SPACE NINE: "In the Pale... " - REV. 2/11/98 - TEASER 2. 1 CONTINUED: SISKO (Cont'd) (beat) I suppose it all started two weeks ago when I was posting the weekly casualty list in the wardroom... CUT TO: 2 INT. WARDROOM Sisko is working the control pad next to the large wall monitor. SISKO (V.O.) ... every Friday morning, for the past three months, I've posted the official list of Starfleet personnel killed, wounded or missing in the war. Sisko hits a final control and a large OKUDAGRAM APPEARS on the monitor: a long list of NAMES. They're grouped by ship or starbase and then alphabetized by last name. Each name has a brightly colored tag next to it: KIA, WIA, MIA. Sisko steps away from the monitor and we REVEAL that the room is FILLED with Starfleet Officers: BASHIR, WORF and DAX are among the many N.D. Officers waiting to take a look at the list. They all move slowly toward the list and begin reading it over. The mood is grim -- everyone is here hoping against hope that they won't find the name of a loved one or friend on that list.
