DEEP SPACE NINE: "Soldiers... " - REV. 03/03/97 - ACT TWO 21.
ACT TWO
FADE IN:
16 EXT. SPACE - BIRD OF PREY (OPTICAL)
The ship is cruising at maximum warp.
17 INT. KLINGON MESS HALL
The Mess Hall contains a single long table with chairs
on either side, encouraging the crew to sit and eat
together. The bulkheads are covered with Klingon
tapestries and artwork portraying the glorious history
of the Empire -- but everything has an unkempt and
dingy look to it (even for a Klingon ship). Bowls of
(to us) unappetizing food are in the middle of the
table, with utensils and plates present but clearly
optional.
At the moment, Kornan, Leskit, Tavana, a young Klingon
male named ORTAKIN and two N.D.s are grouped around
one end of the table, leaving more than half of the
seating area empty. Tavana is just sitting down and
the rest of them are eating with the sullen lack of
enthusiasm that's a hallmark of this ship. Dax ENTERS
and while everyone glances up at her, only Tavana nods
a greeting. The rest return to their food.
Dax takes only a moment to size up the situation and
then she moves confidently to Ortakin, grabs him by the
hair and YANKS him back off the chair where he crashes
to the floor. Ortakin lets out a yell of anger, tries
to roll to his feet, but Dax is faster and has her knee
firmly planted on his throat, pinning him to the deck.
DAX
(to Ortakin)
Maybe you didn't read the crew
roster, but my name is Dax and I'm
the new science officer on this
garbage scow. And you were in my
seat.
Ortakin struggles, but she's got him and the only thing
he can do is let out a strangled grunt of frustration.
DAX
(continuing)
I'm glad we understand each other.
Now get down to the other end
where you belong.
