      DEEP SPACE NINE: "The Dogs... " - REV. 04/09/99 - ACT TWO      36.

37   INT. DOMINION BRIEFING ROOM


	Weyoun is introducing a Cardassian named BROCA to 
	the FEMALE SHAPE-SHIFTER and THOT PRAN.

					WEYOUN 
			Allow me to present Gul -- no, 
			I'm sorry -- Legate Broca, the 
			new head of the Cardassian Union.

	Broca has a military bearing, but he's an ambitious 
	man willing to play lackey if that's what it takes 
	to get ahead. He bows his head to the Founder.

					BROCA 
			I serve the Founders in all 
			things.

					FEMALE SHAPE-SHIFTER 
			Your service is noted.

					BROCA 
			Thot Pran, I look forward to 
			working with you and the Breen 
			Confederacy.

	Thot Pran issues STATIC.

					WEYOUN 
				(to Broca) 
			Your first task will be to give a 
			formal address to the Cardassian 
			people, assuring them that the 
			Dominion has their best interests 
			at --

					FEMALE SHAPE-SHIFTER 
			That can wait.

					WEYOUN 
				(smooth) 
			But it can wait.

					FEMALE SHAPE-SHIFTER 
			We have important matters to 
			discuss. The enemy has devised a 
			countermeasure to our energy-
			dampening weapon, therefore we 
			must alter our strategy. 
				(beat) 
			We're falling back.

	Thot Pran SQUAWKS in disbelief.
