DEEP SPACE NINE: "The Reckoning" - REV. 3/9/98 - ACT FOUR     36.

35   CONTINUED:	(2)

	Overwhelmed with emotion, the Kai steps forward and 
	bows her head before Kira/Prophet, her eyes welling 
	with tears.

					WINN 
			Forgive me for my blindness.

	Kira/Prophet ignores the Kai and continues to stare at 
	Sisko. The Kai desperately appeals for recognition.

					WINN 
			Prophet, hear me. I am the Kai of 
			Bajor. I offer myself as your 
			humble servant..

	Kira/Prophet ignores the Kai and continues to stare at 
	Sisko.

					KIRA/PROPHET 
			I await their vessel.

	With that, the WIND STOPS and the Promenade LIGHTS STOP 
	FLICKERING. Her eyes dull and she stands silent and 
	very still.


					WINN
				(desperately pleading) 
			Speak to me. Tell me what I 
			should do.

	No reaction. The Kai is crestfallen. She continues to 
	kneel and stare at Kira, too numb to do anything else. 
	Off Sisko's face as he grapples with what to do...


36   INT. OPS 

	Sisko, Odo, Dax, Worf, Bashir and Kai Winn are gathered 
	around the Ops table.
