STAR TREK: DEEP SPACE NINE
"The Visitor"
TEASER
FADE IN:
1 INT. JAKE SISKO'S HOUSE - NIGHT (DISTANT FUTURE)
It is the early twenty-fifth century, some seventy
years later than the time our series ordinarily takes
place.
The house is isolated, set off in swampy Louisiana
bayou country. It's a two-story modern design that
harks back to Southern architectural traditions; it has
a cluttered feel, stacks of BOOKS and papers -- the
home of a man who lives alone...
There's a writing DESK against one wall, an antique
grandfather CLOCK with a pendulum that clicks quietly,
a pair of comfortable armchairs around a low table, a
fireplace with a mantle. On the walls are hung several
PAINTINGS: mostly impressionistic landscapes, some
depicting the surrounding bayous. RAIN beats softly
against the windows, and occasionally distant lightning
can be seen through them.
2 CLOSE ON JAKE SISKO
now in his SEVENTIES, healthy and fit for a man his
age.
He looks around the room, taking in his surroundings
with a pensive look. He approaches the mantle, begins
to study the objects propped there, his hands moving
somewhat unsteadily to touch each in turn. We
recognize some of them as Benjamin Sisko's personal
effects: the clock from his office, a YORUBA MASK;
a scuffed BASEBALL on a pedestal; a BLUEPRINT of an
ancient Bajoran spacecraft with solar sails and, next
to it, a framed PHOTO showing a seventeen-year-old Jake
and his father.
A small smile plays on Old Jake's features as he takes
in these artifacts of his life... a smile that is at
once melancholy and yet somehow hopeful.
