             DEEP SPACE: "Defiant" - 09/29/94 - ACT TWO             19.
                            ACT TWO                             

	FADE IN:

21   EXT. SPACE - DEEP SPACE NINE (OPTICAL)

	As before.

22   INT. WARDROOM (OPTICAL)

	On the monitor is biographical material and a photo of Thomas 
	Riker.  Odo is briefing GUL DUKAT, who is sitting at the 
	table.  Sisko is standing nearby.

					ODO
			Nine years ago, a transporter accident 
			created two William T.  Rikers... 
			one of them returned to his ship, 
			the other was marooned on Nervala 
			Four.

					SISKO
			The second Riker was finally 
			discovered two years ago.  He chose 
			to use his middle name -- Thomas -- 
			to distinguish himself from the other 
			Riker.

					ODO
			The two men are physically identical 
			in every respect -- right down to 
			their DNA coding.  There was no way 
			for the security computer to know 
			that it was Thomas, not William who 
			boarded the Defiant.

					GUL DUKAT
				(a little amused)
			A very entertaining story... but why 
			am I listening to it?

	Odo and Sisko exchange a look.  Sisko leans forward... Dukat 
	is not going to like this.

					SISKO
			We have reason to believe that Thomas 
			Riker... is a member of the Maquis.

	Dukat stares at him for a moment, not wanting to believe 
	what he just said.
