      DEEP SPACE NINE: "Image in... " - REV. 07/27/98 - ACT FOUR     40.

                           ACT FOUR                             

	FADE IN:

52   INT. SISKO'S RESTAURANT - NIGHT

	Sisko is seated in the empty restaurant, studying 
	some PADDs. The locket with the ancient Bajoran 
	markings is on the table. In the kitchen, Joseph is 
	stirring a vat of red beans and rice, but his eyes 
	are focused on his son. Jake is nearby, stacking 
	dishes.

					JOSEPH 
			I still don't understand why 
			Sarah would have a locket with 
			Bajoran writing on it. I don't 
			recall her ever mentioning Bajor 
			to me...

					JAKE 
			Maybe she didn't know it was 
			Bajoran... maybe it was a gift 
			from someone...

	Suddenly, Sisko slaps the table with the palm of his 
	hand.

					SISKO
			Finally, some progress...

	Joseph hands the ladle to Jake and hurries over to
	his son.

					JOSEPH 
			What is it?

					SISKO
			The inscription... it says "the 
			Orb of the Emissary."

					JAKE 
			I never knew there was an "Orb of 
			the Emissary."

					SISKO
			I've never heard of it either -- 
			at least there's no mention of 
			it in the Bajoran Ancient Texts.
