DEEP SPACE NINE: "Hard Time" - REV. 2/05/96 - TEASER 1.
STAR TREK: DEEP SPACE NINE
"Hard Time"
TEASER
FADE IN:
1 INT. ARGRATHI CELL
This is an alien security cell, with rough-hewn stone
walls and a smooth sandy floor. There are no beds or
other furniture, just a heavy metallic windowless door
of alien design. The light in the room is an odd blue-
white, colored to match an alien sun. There's a hole
dug in the ground in one corner of the room that
provides a crude toilet.
The room's only inhabitant is a male PRISONER in his
mid- to late-fifties, with an unkempt beard and a
tangled mass of white hair. We don't get a good look
at his face, but he seems familiar. He's dressed in
the ragged remains of a gold Starfleet uniform, but
it's barely recognizable from decades of wear and
neglect.
The Prisoner is squatting on the floor, drawing an
elaborate mandala in the sand. It's a beautiful
abstract pattern and he works on it with great care.
The Prisoner puts a finishing touch on the mandala as
if rushing to beat some kind of deadline. Just as he
finishes, a KLAXON SOUNDS, followed by an announcement
from a disembodied voice.
ARGRATHI COM VOICE
All offenders prepare for
decontamination. Decontamination
will proceed immediately.
The Prisoner braces himself.
2 NEW ANGLE (OPTICAL)
A wall of coherent light passes through the room,
sweeping everything inside, including the Prisoner and
his sand-drawings. As it passes over the Prisoner, he
doubles over, gritting his teeth and choking back a
moan of pain. The beam obviously causes him great
agony.
It also completely erases the mandala, smoothing the
sand as it progresses across the room.
