                            ACT TWO                             

	FADE IN:

26   EXT. ARMY/AIR CORPS BASE - DAY 

	An establishing shot of the outside of a large military 
	building.

27   INT. OBSERVATION ROOM

	This is a dark, smoke-filled room, where soldiers in 
	1940's-era clothing study the Ferengi through what we 
	now realize is a two-way mirror.

	In the center of the room is a broad-beamed, craggy-
	faced Army Air Corps general, the butt of a fat stogie 
	clenched in his teeth. This is GENERAL REX DENNING, a 
	no-nonsense veteran of two world wars who's ready to 
	take on the Martians to defend the good old USA if 
	necessary.

	Also present are Captain Wainwright, PROFESSOR JEFF 
	CARLSON, an idealistic young scientist, his fiancee 
	FAITH GARLAND, a Woman's Army Corps nurse, and two 
	M.P.s, one with a large GERMAN SHEPHERD guard dog.

					CAPTAIN WAINWRIGHT 
			We've got the farmer who found 
			their ship locked up in the 
			B.O.Q., but I don't know how much 
			longer we can keep him there.

	When Denning speaks it's with the gravely voice of a 
	lifelong smoker.


					GENERAL DENNING 
			You keep him there until I tell 
			you to let him go. Did you take 
			care of that idiot in Roswell who 
			told the press we captured a 
			flying saucer?

					CAPTAIN WAINWRIGHT 
			We've convinced him to issue a 
			retraction.
				(smiling)
			Turns out it was just a weather 
			balloon.

					GENERAL DENNING 
			A weather balloon, huh?
