DEEP SPACE NINE: "Covenant" - REV. 10/14/98 - ACT TWO      17A.

					FALA

			live. I want you to see the
			community we're building here so
			that you'll know that you have
			nothing to fear from Dukat -- or

	A beat, then Kira acquiesces -- not because she's
	interested, but because it seems like her only
	chance to get out of this room and find a way off
	the station.

11   INT. EMPOK NOR - PROMENADE (OPTICAL)

	We start CLOSE on a man wearing protective GOGGLES
	and using a BAJORAN PHASER to WELD metal. We
	PICK UP Kira and Fala as they pass -- her eye takes
	in the phaser, but she knows she'd never be able to
	get her hands on it.

	All around them, people are carrying CRATES,
	repairing windows and light fixtures. They work
	with enthusiasm, with a sense of communal purpose.

	There are cooking STATIONS set up, and we see
	evidence of PRODUCE and other foodstuffs. A few
	SPACE HEATERS are visible, with knots of people
	warming themselves around them.
