       DEEP SPACE NINE: "Empok Nor" - REV. 04/07/97 - ACT ONE       17.

20   INT. EMPOK NOR - PROMENADE 

	To see some of the emergency lights and equipment come
	to life.. As the lights come on, whatever is "floating" 
	falls to the ground.

21   INT. EMPOK NOR - HABITAT RING CORRIDOR 

	Section by section, the lights come on.

22   INT. EMPOK NOR - SURGERY 

	on the side panels of the chambers, we see a series of 
	SHORTS that SPARK with intense FLASHES of light. After 
	a beat, rows of BLINKIES light up along the panel walls 
	of the chambers.

	Like a digital V.U. meter, the lights quickly build 
	from red to yellow to green. And with that, the room 
	is flooded with a bright, bluish light emanating from 
	within two of the three chambers.

23   ANGLE ON ONE	OF THE CHAMBERS


	to see inside: a CARDASSIAN SOLDIER lies on a bed of a 
	bluish, gel-like substance. WE MOVE IN CLOSE ON HIS
	FACE, and after a beat, his eyes POP OPEN.

									HARD CUT TO:

23A  EXT. SPACE - EMPOK NOR (OPTICAL)

	The Runabout has now docked at the Upper Pylon.

24   INT. EMPOK NOR - UPPER PYLON - AIRLOCK CORRIDOR 

	Although main power has been restored, this is NOT a 
	bright and sunny place. Quite the contrary -- it's 
	dark and shadowy. Garak, out of the space suit, sits 
	on an empty box waiting for O'Brien, Nog and the others 
	to emerge from the airlock, carrying equipment and toolboxes.

					GARAK
			Welcome to Empok Nor.

					O'BRIEN
			Thanks for having us...

					GARAK
			Take whatever you need... my house
			is your house.

	As Nog and the four crewmen wait at the intersection to 
	get instructions, Pechetti motions to Amaro.
