DEEP SPACE NINE: "A Simple... " - REV. 1/20/97 - ACT FIVE 61-62.     

52   CONTINUED:	(2)

	Suddenly, one of the doors to the Cargo Bay OPENS. 
	Sorm swings around to take aim, when suddenly a second 
	door OPENS.

					TRAIDY 
			You were supposed to secure the 
			doors!

	A third door OPENS --

52A  NEW ANGLE -- A GRATE IN THE CEILING (OPTICAL)

	as a few tendrils of GOO start to MORPH down through 
	the slats...

					SORM (O.S.) 
			I did.

52B  RESUME SCENE 

	The fourth door OPENS, and Sorm tries to cover them 
	all. Suddenly Odo, now fully reconstituted, lands on 
	top of Traidy from above.

	As they go sprawling to the ground, Traidy loses hold 
	of the crystal and it goes skittering across the floor. 
	In the ensuing scuffle, Odo fights with a ferocity 
	we've never seen before -- he's trying to protect the 
	woman he loves. Sorm swings around to shoot Odo, but 
	Arissa grabs hold of him for a crucial moment, long 
	enough for the Idanian to get inside and train his 
	weapon on Sorm.

					IDANIAN #2 
			Don't move.

	Sorm freezes, but Odo, lost in the moment, decks him 
	anyway.

					ODO
				(to Arissa) 
			Are you all right?

	She manages a nod. Odo sees the crystal on the floor, 
	picks it up... off his face as he fingers it, wondering 
	what it will mean for he and Arissa...
