DEEP SPACE NINE: "Covenant" - REV. 10/14/98 - TEASER 6. 5 INT. EMPOK NOR - TEMPLE (OPTICAL) (A RE-DRESS of Quark's bar. The bar, tables and chairs are gone, and an ALTAR sits where the dabo table usually is. Atop the altar rests a CENTERPIECE displaying what we'll come to recognize as the SYMBOL of the Pah-wraiths. The backlit mural has been refitted with a BANNER displaying the same symbol. Most of the light comes from CANDLES placed throughout the room.) Kira RE-MATERIALIZES in the center of the room with the crystal in her hand. She finds herself amidst a group of about SIX BAJORANS, who seem to have been expecting her arrival and regard her with welcoming smiles. All wear the distinctive RED ARMBANDS that identify them as members of the Pah-wraith cult. One of them, a man named BRIN, steps forward. BRIN Welcome to Empok Nor... Kira reacts to hearing her location, can't believe she was transported such a great distance. KIRA Empok Nor? That's impossible. BRIN I know it's a long way from Deep Space Nine -- (taking the crystal) This transponder allowed us to beam you here. Her eyes fall to the Pah-wraith symbol on the banner, then to the red armbands -- we see a shiver of recognition cross her features. KIRA Those armbands... you belong to the cult of the Pah-wraiths... BRIN We worship the True Prophets, yes. This is blasphemy to Kira's ears, and she can't quite keep the edge from her voice as she replies.
