DEEP SPACE NINE: "Honor... " - REV. 12/17/97 - TEASER 1.
STAR TREK: DEEP SPACE NINE
"Honor Among Thieves"
TEASER
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.
