DEEP SPACE NINE: "In the Pale... " - REV. 2/11/98 - ACT FOUR 44.
37 CONTINUED:
Dax takes her time, this is a delicate subject and she
doesn't want to rush into anything.
DAX
This may sound... crazy. But,
think about it before you say no.
SISKO
Just say it.
Beat.
DAX
What if we... tricked the Romulans
into believing that the Dominion
was about to attack them?
Sisko is thunderstruck for a moment and Dax takes it
as a reaction to her crazy idea.
DAX
Hear me out.
(beat)
We find a way to manufacture
evidence of a planned Dominion
attack. I'm not sure what it
should be, uh... a series of coded
messages from their central
command, a Cardassian defector who
smuggles out secret war plans --
I don't know. Something. Then
we show it to the Romulans and try
to convince them that they're one
step away from disaster.
Sisko takes a moment, decides to become his own devil's
advocate.
SISKO
You want to start a war based on
a lie?
DAX
I want to end a war, Benjamin.
And I want the good guys to win.
Besides, let's face it -- the
Dominion will attack the Romulans
eventually, it's just a matter of
time. So, in a way we'd be doing
them a favor by pulling them in
now.
