DEEP SPACE: "The Homecoming" - 07/02/93 - ACT FIVE 56.
68 CONTINUED:
SISKO
I don't follow.
Li studies Sisko. It's as if he's sizing him up, deciding
how much to tell him.
LI
Commander, I'm going to tell you a
story. You may even believe it.
SISKO
I'm listening.
Li launches into his story. He paces around the office,
lost in memory, speaking with a quiet urgency that compels
belief.
LI
During the occupation I was a member
of a minor resistance cell, the name's
unimportant. One day, this was in
the mountains surrounding the Sahving
valley, we were ambushed by Cardassian
troops. Only three of us managed to
escape. We hid in the hills for two
days, but finally the lack of food
and water forced us down into the
valley. We made our way to a ridge
above a small lake. As I was the
only one still carrying a phaser, I
went ahead to scout for the enemy.
Halfway down the embankment I slipped
and went sprawling on my back down
to the edge of the lake just as a
huge Cardassian emerged from the
water. He must have just finished
bathing. He stood there frozen in
surprise, dressed only in his
underwear, shivering from the cold.
I lay there looking up at him too
stunned to move. It was only when
he reached over for a phaser rifle
lying across his clothes on a nearby
rock that I realized I was still
holding my own phaser. I shot him,
his body collapsed on top of me,
which is how my companions found us
a moment later.
