	FADE IN:

1    EXT. FARIUS PRIME - DAY (MATTE SHOT/OPTICAL)

	A gritty, industrial city set against a polluted grey 
	sky. Modern skyscrapers abut older, brick structures
	Despite the contrast in building materials, certain 
	architectural elements peculiar to Farius remain 
	consistent -- the shape of the windows, perhaps. The 
	exception to this is a shantytown that can be seen at 
	the edge of the city.

2    INT. A TAVERN - DAY (VPB)

	Housed in one of the city's older, rundown buildings. 
	It's dark and dingy, with a bartop running along one 
	wall, a few tables and chairs, and a public COM-UNIT on 
	another wall, complete with a MONITOR. Alien graffiti 
	is scrawled near the unit, presumably from patrons 
	jotting down "phone numbers."

	The bartender, a taciturn BOLIAN called Graife, is 
	serving a sad-looking YRIDIAN. At one of the tables, 
	a FARIAN man and a HUMAN are playing an alien CARD 
	GAME. The Farian has some sort of TUBE running into 
	one of his nostrils -- as he deals the cards, he takes 
	a whiff of whatever substance the apparatus is feeding 
	him.

	We take in this scene for a moment, then MOVE TO REVEAL 
	an unlikely customer sitting alone at the bar -- MILES 
	O'BRIEN. He is UNSHAVEN and is wearing CIVILIAN CLOTHES 
	suitable for a man used to working with his hands. 
	He's fiddling with a small piece of broken HARDWARE, 
	using non-Starfleet TOOLS from a beaten-up TOOLKIT at 
	his side.

	We'll come to learn that O'Brien has been on an 
	undercover mission for several weeks, trying to 
	infiltrate the Orion Syndicate. He's posing as a 
	traveling handyman for hire -- just a guy trying to 
	scrape together enough work to book passage off-world. 
	He's been hanging out at this bar because he's learned 
	that it's a haunt for certain low-ranking Syndicate 
	members.

	Three of them are sitting at a nearby table. LIAM 
	BILBY, a human in his late forties, is the leader of 
	the trio.
