	(NOTE: Episode credits fall over opening scenes.)

13A  EXT. ROCKY TERRAIN OUTSIDE BASE CAMP - CONTINUOUS

	As Sisko and the others huddle for cover behind the 
	rock.

					SISKO
			Those are Federation phasers...
				(calling out)
			Hold your fire! This is Captain
			Benjamin Sisko of the USS
			Defiant.

					FEMALE VOICE (O.S.)
			You heard him -- cease fire, damn
			it!

	The firing stops.

13B  NEW ANGLE

	to see Sisko and the others emerge cautiously from 
	behind the rocks.

					SISKO
			We're coming in.

13C  ANGLE ON THE BASE CAMP

	which is built into the rockface of a steep 
	mountain, was originally constructed by the Dominion 
	as a communications relay station, but the 
	Federation has occupied it for the past five months.

	Sisko and his crew pass through a barricade of 
	crates, rocks and the twenty-fourth century 
	equivalent of sandbags.

	CHIEF LARKIN, a sinewy, steel-eyed woman in her mid-
	thirties, is in mid-argument with VARGAS, a high-
	strung young soldier who has a bloody cloth wrapped 
	around one of his arms.

					LARKIN
			Who told you to open fire?
