DEEP SPACE NINE: "Empok Nor" - REV. 04/07/97 - ACT ONE       20.

29   CONTINUED:

	Deciding to investigate, Garak steps into the 
	Infirmary.

30   INT. EMPOK NOR - SURGERY - CONTINUOUS 

	Garak steps toward the three chambers. Two of the lids 
	on the chambers are open, the third is as we've always 
	seen it -- shut.

	Garak steps up to one of the open chambers and looks in -- 
	it's empty. Only a bed of the bluish, gel-like 
	substance remains.

	He moves over to the closed chamber. It's dark inside. 
	A fallen metal piece of bulkhead lies on top of the 
	chamber, having shattered the glass which is completely 
	fogged over, preventing Garak from seeing inside.

					BOQ'TA
				(re: the chambers)
			These look like stasis tubes...

	Garak removes the fallen piece of bulkhead, feels for 
	a latch, finds it, and slowly opens the lid. Inside is 
	the badly decomposed skeletal remains of a Cardassian 
	soldier. Boq'ta scans the body with his tricorder.

					BOQ'TA
			Cardassian. He's been dead for
			about a year...

	There's something amidst the remains that catches
	Boq'ta's eye. He reaches in, and carefully picks up a 
	military insignia and shows it to Garak.

					GARAK
			Interesting...

					BOQ'TA
			A regimental badge?

					GARAK
				(nodding)
			Third Battalion, First Order... if
			I'm not mistaken.

					BOQ'TA
			This'll make Pechetti's day.

	But Garak is contemplating more important issues; he 
	looks over at the two empty chambers.
