					BASHIR
			I told you held be here.

	Off the admiral's face as he moves to investigate --

42   INT. PROMENADE

	Sisko, surrounded by the Bajorans, accepting their 
	thanks and good wishes in a way we've never seen 
	before. He's not embarrassed or uncomfortable with 
	their reverence -- he simply takes it in with serene 
	humility. AD HOC: "Emissary," "Thank you," "Bless 
	you." As Sisko moves through the crowd, his attention 
	is suddenly drawn to an older BAJORAN COUPLE, who are 
	standing to one side. Sisko steps over to them. The 
	crowd falls silent as he speaks to them:

					SISKO
			There's no need to worry.

	The couple react -- some burden is weighing on both 
	their minds.

					SISKO
			The katterpod harvest will be much
			better this year.

	We can see the burden lifting from their shoulders --
	they believe him. Sisko turns to someone else in the 
	crowd, smiles, and touches him on the shoulders.

					SISKO
			You don't belong here. Go home.

	The Bajoran nods as if this answers a question that's 
	been much on his mind. He EXITS.

	As Bashir and Whatley approach Sisko, Sisko is suddenly 
	hit by a blinding headache that sends him staggering.

					BASHIR
			Captain!

	Sisko struggles to a nearby bench as the admiral and 
	Bashir rush over.

					WHATLEY
			What's wrong?

	Sisko struggles to clear his head.

					SISKO
			I'm fine.
