DEEP SPACE NINE: "Paradise Lost" - REV. 11/14/95 - ACT TWO 19.
12 CONTINUED: (3)
SISKO
I'm sure the Admiral doesn't see
it as treason. He would probably
defend it as a desperate act of
patriotism. Leyton and his
supporters think their actions are
both necessary and justified.
ODO
Not to mention effective.
(a beat)
Think about it. The power grid
fails and the next thing you know,
there are Starfleet security
officers on the streets of every
city, armed with phaser rifles,
blood testing citizens at random.
Jaresh-Inyo looks at Sisko for a long time. He doesn't
want to believe what he's just heard, but Sisko makes
a persuasive argument.
JARESH-INYO
Your story has a certain logic to
it, gentlemen. But what it lacks
so far is proof.
SISKO
You want proof... Order Admiral
Leyton to withdraw his troops from
the streets... see what he does.
JARESH-INYO
You think he would refuse a direct
order from his commander-in-chief?
SISKO
If he orders his troops to stand
down, then I'm wrong and I'll
offer my resignation. But I don't
think that's going to happen.
With those troops in place,
Admiral Leyton controls Earth.
And he's not going to give up that
control until he's convinced he's
ended the Dominion threat.
Jaresh-Inyo gets up and paces around the room.
