88   CONTINUED:

	He turns and looks across the room at Sisko. (In the 
	background, Gowron's speech continues.)

					GOWRON
				(over the above action)
			This is a great day for the 
			Empire, a day when we honor you 
			who have brought us glory, who's 
			deeds of valor will live on in 
			song and story.

89   ANGLE ON SISKO

	Who is aware of Odo's predicament, and can do nothing 
	but wait. Gowron continues speaking.

					GOWRON
			Here in this hallowed hall, under 
			the watchful gaze of our greatest 
			heroes, you will receive the 
			highest honor that can be bestowed 
			upon a Klingon. The Order of the 
			Bat'leth.

	The assembled Klingons roar in approval. Martok is 
	handed a PADD and begins to read off the names.

					MARTOK
			Come forward, H'Ta son of Kahmar.

	Responding to the summons, a Klingon Warrior steps 
	forward. Gowron picks up a medallion of the Order, 
	which is a kind of medal hung on a heavy chain, leans 
	over, and places it on the Warrior's neck.

90   ANGLE ON O'BRIEN

	As he looks from Sisko to Odo, aware that their whole 
	plan is slipping through their fingers.

					GOWRON
			Glory to you and your house.

	He gives Gowron a Klingon salute, then steps back. 
	The ceremony continues.

					MARTOK
			Come forward, T'vis, son of Barot.

	Another Klingon moves to receive his medal.
