       DEEP SPACE NINE: "Covenant" - REV. 10/14/98 - ACT THREE      26.
                           ACT THREE                            

	FADE IN:

20   INT. EMPOK NOR - DUKAT'S QUARTERS - CLOSE ON KIRA

	Her eyes are closed as a HAND gently applies a COLD
	COMPRESS to her forehead.

	She stirs, her eyes flutter open, and she looks up
	to see --

21   DUKAT

	his face close, a tender smile on his features.
	Kira sits up quickly, bats his hand away, then
	WINCES from the pain in her back.

					DUKAT
			Careful, no sudden moves.

	She finds herself wearing her SLEEVELESS SHIRT,
	which is partly unzipped down the back, revealing a
	BRUISE near the base of her neck. With a shudder,
	she realizes Dukat partially undressed her while she
	was unconscious.

					DUKAT
				(indicating her
				JACKET lying
				nearby)
			I removed it so I could tend to
			your bruise.

	Kira glares at him, reaches back and zips up the
	shirt, then stands and grabs her jacket.

	We see that unlike the rest of Empok Nor, Dukat's
	Quarters are well appointed, though not exactly
	luxurious. He even has two or three portable
	HEATERS to keep the room at a comfortable
	temperature.

					DUKAT
				(indicating a nearby
				TRAY)
			I had a meal prepared for you.

	Kira's undeniably hungry, but she doesn't want to
	give him the satisfaction.
