        DEEP SPACE: "The Abandoned" - REV. 08/31/94 - ACT TWO       26.

20   CONTINUED:

					ODO
			Stop!  Stay where you are!

	The Teenager doesn't listen and keeps running... people 
	scatter out of his way.  Odo rushes out and puts himself 
	directly into the boy's path... the boy LUNGES at him... but 
	as the boy hits Odo, he MORPHS and the boy GOES THROUGH HIM 
	and lands on the deck behind Odo.

	Odo returns to normal and the Teenager gets to his knees in 
	front of Odo in a posture of fealty just as the rest of the 
	Guards come rushing up with phasers drawn.  Odo puts up a 
	hand for them to stay back.  Dax arrives a second later and 
	now everyone looks at the Teenager as he pants heavily from 
	the chase... and we get our first good look at his face -- 
	he is clearly a Jem'Hadar, but not a fully mature one.

	The Teenager looks up at Odo with a mixture of dread and 
	reverence... Odo is surprised at the reaction and stares 
	back at him.  Dax looks at the Teenager's face and then hits 
	her combadge.

					DAX
				(to com)
			Dax to Sisko.

					SISKO'S COM VOICE
			Go ahead.

					DAX
			I think we've solved the mystery of 
			our young visitor, Benjamin... he's 
			a Jem'Hadar.

	Off the image of this young Jem'Hadar looking up at Odo.

									FADE OUT.
