	FADE IN:

1    EXT. SPACE - DEEP SPACE NINE (OPTICAL)

	Establishing the station.  The only ship in port is the 
	PROMETHEUS, a Federation science vessel, not in any way 
	noteworthy or obtrusive.

					SISKO (V.O.)
			Personal Log, Stardate 47329.4.  I 
			finally realize why I've had trouble 
			sleeping the last few nights.  
			Yesterday was the fourth anniversary 
			of the massacre at Wolf three five 
			nine... the fourth anniversary of 
			Jennifer's death.

1A   INT. SISKO'S QUARTERS

	Light are low.  SISKO is sitting on the couch.  There's a 
	chess problem laid out on the three-dimensional chess board 
	that sits, forgotten, in front of him.

					SISKO (V.O.)
				(continuing)
			I'm not sure what bothers me more.  
			The date itself... or the fact that 
			it almost passed unnoticed.

1B   NEW ANGLE

	As a pajama-clad JAKE steps out of his bedroom.

					JAKE
			Dad... what are you doing up?

					SISKO
			I was about to ask you the same thing.

					JAKE
				(no big deal)
			I had a weird dream.

           DEEP SPACE: "Second Sight" - 09/28/93 - TEASER           1A.

1B   CONTINUED:

					SISKO
			Why don't you get a hot chocolate 
			and tell me about it?

					JAKE
			Nah, it's nothing.

	But he sits down next to his father and we see that he needs 
	some comfort.  Sisko throws a comforting arm around his son's 
	shoulder.

					SISKO
			So tell me about this "weird" dream.

					JAKE
			it's stupid.

					SISKO
			Maybe so, but the thing about dreams 
			is, if you talk about them, they 
			kind of go away faster.

					JAKE
			Okay, but don't laugh.

					SISKO
			I promise.

	A beat.  Jake has to reassemble the path of the dream.

					JAKE
			I don't know... I was... on the 
			station somewhere, but I'm not sure 
			where... and I kept trying to get 
			back here... but I couldn't find my 
			way.  Every time I thought I saw a 
			familiar corridor, it kind of twisted 
			off in some other direction...
				(trails off)
			See? I told you it was stupid.

					SISKO
			You got me interested.

					JAKE
			Well... then...
				(embarrassed)
			I guess I got a little scared and 
			started looking for you... but I 
			couldn't find you... Somehow I ended 
			up in Ops... but you weren't in your 
			office.

           DEEP SPACE: "Second Sight" - 09/28/93 - TEASER           1B.

1B   CONTINUED:	(2)

					JAKE (Cont'd)
			And then it was like... the floor 
			started sloping down... and I couldn't 
			keep my balance... and all I wanted 
			to do was find you...

	Sisko gives him a friendly hug.

					SISKO
			And here I am.

	A long beat.  Jake is glad to have his father there.

					JAKE
			Dad...
				(almost apologetic)
			I love you.

					SISKO
				(smiles)
			I love you too.

	Sisko kisses his son on the forehead.

					JAKE
			I have a calculus test in the morning.

					SISKO
			Then you better get some sleep.

	Jake gets up and heads for his room, but stops by the door.

					JAKE
			Dad... I miss her.

					SISKO
			Me too.

	Jake nods and EXITS.

1C   CLOSE ON SISKO

	Glad that he could help his son, but still feeling the weight 
	of his own melancholy.  He picks up a chess piece... then 
	puts it back down.  He's lost interest.

           DEEP SPACE: "Second Sight" - 09/28/93 - TEASER           1C.

2    INT. PROMENADE - AFTER HOURS

	The Promenade is dark and relatively quiet.  There's just 
	enough activity being played out in the shadows to make an 
	observer wonder what unfolds while the station sleeps.

3    INT. PROMENADE - SECOND LEVEL

	Sisko walks along the upper level. He stops at a viewport 
	and stares into the depths of space.

4    CLOSE ON SISKO

	Watching the stars burn in the endless darkness.

					FENNA (O.S.)
			Beautiful, aren't they?

	Startled, Sisko turns around and sees...

           DEEP SPACE: "Second Sight" - 09/28/93 - TEASER            2.

5    NEW ANGLE

	An unconventionally attractive alien woman, FENNA, standing 
	behind him.  Off Sisko's questioning look, she looks out the 
	viewport with wide-eyed amazement.

					FENNA
			I don't think I've ever seen the 
			stars shine so brightly.

	Sisko reacts.  He really wanted to be alone, but there's 
	something about Fenna that intrigues him.

					SISKO
				(re: the stars)
			The Bajorans call that constellation 
			the Runners.
				(a beat)
			I can never figure out if they're 
			running toward something or away 
			from something.

					FENNA
				(studying the stars)
			Does it really matter?  Sometimes it 
			just feels good to run.

					SISKO
			I never thought of it that way.

	Sisko turns back toward Fenna.  He studies her for a second, 
	then...

					SISKO
			My names Benjamin Sisko.  I'm the 
			Commander of this station.

					FENNA
			I'm...
				(there's the slightest 
				pause before she 
				says her name)
			Fenna.
				(smiles)
			I'm sorry.  You must be very busy.  
			I didn't mean to bother you.

					SISKO
			You're not bothering me at all.

					FENNA
			Good.  I'm glad.

           DEEP SPACE: "Second Sight" - 09/28/93 - TEASER            3.

6    NEW ANGLE

	They begin walking along the upper level of the Promenade.

					FENNA
				(continuing)
			Commander of the station... that 
			must be very exciting.  All those 
			ships coming and going... Every day 
			must bring something new.

					SISKO
				(agreeing)
			It has its moments.
				(a beat)
			In some ways, though, I prefer times 
			like this the best... when everything 
			is quiet... And...

	Sisko can't quite put his feelings into words.

					FENNA
				(finishing this thought)
			And you can feel a kind of 
			anticipation in the air... like 
			something wonderful's going to 
			happen... but you don't know what it 
			is...

	Fenna catches herself, and smiles at her own enthusiasm.

					FENNA
				(continuing)
			I guess that sounds pretty silly, 
			doesn't it?

					SISKO
			Not at all.  That's one of the great 
			things about this station.  You never 
			know what's going to happen next...

	They reach a crossover bridge near one of the spiral 
	staircases.

					SISKO
				(continuing, smiles)
			Or who you're going to meet.

	Fenna returns the smile.  There's something curious about 
	this woman.  Sisko wants to learn more about her.

           DEEP SPACE: "Second Sight" - 09/28/93 - TEASER            4.

6    CONTINUED:

					FENNA
			I like it here.  I wish I could stay 
			longer.

					SISKO
			Where are you going?

					FENNA
				(thinks for a beat, 
				then)
			I'm not really sure.  So I guess 
			I'll just keep going...
				(glances at the stars)
			Like the Runners.

7    CLOSE ON SISKO

	who glances over the railing down at the Promenade, where 
	Morn is shuffling off to bed.

					SISKO
			I'll tell you what, before you run 
			any farther, why don't I show you 
			around the station... If you have 
			the time?

	There's no answer from Fenna.  Sisko turns back toward her...

8    NEW ANGLE

	And Fenna is gone.

					SISKO
			Fenna?

	Sisko looks around.  The upper level of the Promenade is now 
	completely deserted.  Puzzled, Sisko moves to the top of the 
	spiral staircase and looks down.  He's too late... there's 
	no one there.

           DEEP SPACE: "Second Sight" - 09/28/93 - TEASER            5.

9    CLOSE ON SISKO

	As he thinks about going to look for her, then decides against 
	it.  Hold on Sisko for a beat as he surveys the empty 
	Promenade with a mixture of curiosity and surprise, then...

									FADE OUT.

	FADE IN:

	(NOTE: Episode credits fall over opening scenes.)

10   INT. OPS

	KIRA at the Ops Table, O'BRIEN at work in the pit, various 
	N.D. Supernumeraries at the other stations.

11   NEW ANGLE

	As Sisko ENTERS from the Turbolift, looking chipper.  He 
	spots O'Brien in the pit.

					SISKO
			Good morning, Chief.

	O'Brien doesn't look up from the endless maze of circuitry 
	he's working on.

					O'BRIEN
				(mind on his work)
			Morning, Commander.

					SISKO
				(nodding at the 
				circuitry)
			Is this maintenance or repair?

	O'Brien actually has to stop and think about that one.

					O'BRIEN
			Right now it's maintenance, but five 
			will get you ten it'll end up being 
			repair before I'm through.

	O'Brien was only half-joking, but Sisko smiles.

					SISKO
			Admit it, Chief... If you were on a 
			station where everything worked, 
			you'd be miserable.

	O'Brien continues probing the circuitry.

					O'BRIEN
			You may be right, sir.

	The electronics give off a bright spark.

           DEEP SPACE: "Second Sight" - 09/28/93 - ACT ONE           7.

11   CONTINUED:

					O'BRIEN
				(almost to himself)
			But I'd be willing to give it a try.

	Sisko smiles and shakes his head, leaving O'Brien to his 
	endless "maintenance."

12   FOLLOW SISKO

	As he goes to the replicator, passing Kira at the Ops Table.

					SISKO
			Good morning, Major.
				(to the replicator)
			Chiraltan Tea, with a double twist 
			of lemon.

13   ANGLE ON KIRA

	Looking curiously at Sisko as he removes his tea from the 
	replicator.  He sips it, finds it to his liking, and joins 
	her at the operations table.

14   ON SISKO

	as he sits down, he notices Kira's questioning gaze.

					SISKO
			Something wrong?

					KIRA
				(covers her curiosity)
			No, nothing.

					SISKO
			Major, if something's bothering you... 
			I want to hear it.

					KIRA
			It's just... every morning for the 
			last year, I've seen you walk in 
			here and start your day with a 
			raktajino.

					SISKO
			I like raktajino.

           DEEP SPACE: "Second Sight" - 09/28/93 - ACT ONE           8.

14   CONTINUED:

					KIRA
				(that's no surprise)
			I know.  You never even talk to anyone 
			until you've had your first cup.

					SISKO
				(acknowledging)
			I'm not awake until I've had my first 
			cup.

					KIRA
				(re: cup)
			Then how come you're drinking 
			Chiraltan Tea?

	Sisko looks at the cup, thinks about it.

					SISKO
			I guess I felt like having something 
			different.
				(kidding her)
			That is all right with you, isn't it?

					KIRA
			Of course.  You can drink whatever 
			you want.

					SISKO
				(amused)
			Thank you, Major.  Your support is 
			appreciated.

					DAX'S COM VOICE
			Dax to Sisko.

					SISKO
				(taps his combadge)
			Go ahead, Lieutenant.

					DAX'S COM VOICE
			Professor Seyetik and I are in the 
			science lab, if you'd like to meet 
			him.

	Sisko's been looking forward to this.

					SISKO
			On my way.

	Sisko EXITS.

       DEEP SPACE:  "Second Sight" - 09/28/93 - ACT ONE     xx9        

15   ANGLE ON KIRA

	O'Brien joins her at the Ops Table.

					O'BRIEN
			The commander seems to be in an 
			especially good mood this morning.

					KIRA
				(distracted)
			He is... isn't he?

					O'BRIEN
			Something on your mind, Major?

					KIRA
			No... it's just...
				(a beat)
			You work with someone for a year or 
			so... You think you finally have 
			them figured out... and then...
				(mystified)
			They go and order Chiraltan Tea.

	Hold on O'Brien, waiting for the punchline.

16   INT. SCIENCE LAB

	Sisko ENTERS and is met by DAX.

					SISKO
			Lieutenant...
				(looks around)
			Where's our guest?

					DAX
				(matter-of-fact)
			Inside the flux generator.

					SISKO
				(surprised)
			What?

17   NEW ANGLE

	Sisko looks over at a door with a small window at eye level.  
	The door provides access to a glowing chamber that throbs 
	with energy.  It's obviously not a good place to walk into.

					SISKO
			What's he doing in there?  He could 
			be killed.

        DEEP SPACE: "Second Sight" - REV. 09/29/93 - ACT ONE        10.

17   CONTINUED:

					DAX
				(nonchalant)
			That's what I tried to tell him.

					SISKO
			And he went in anyway?

					DAX
			Have you ever met a terraformer?

					SISKO
			No.  What's that got to do with it?

					DAX
			You can't tell a terraformer anything.  
			It's an amazing talent... bringing 
			dead worlds to life.  But humility 
			and common sense aren't exactly part 
			of the job description.

18   ANGLE ON THE GENERATOR (OPTICAL)

	Just then, the door opens and a large figure emerges, haloed 
	by the flashing glow of the generator.  The figure, dressed 
	in some sort of futuristic protective gear, passes through a 
	forcefield, steps into the lab and the door closes behind 
	him.

19   NEW ANGLE

	GIDEON SEYETIK removes his protective headgear.  He's a huge, 
	grizzled lion of a man.

					SEYETIK
			There you go, Lieutenant.  That should 
			increase your generator output by at 
			least five percent.

	Seyetik notices Sisko, and steps forward with delight in his 
	eyes.

					SEYETIK
				(continuing, with 
				gusto)
			You must be Commander Sisko.  Gideon 
			Seyetik... It's a pleasure to meet 
			you.

	Seyetik shakes Sisko's hand aggressively.  His voice and 
	smile fill the lab.

        DEEP SPACE: "Second Sight" - REV. 10/07/93 - ACT ONE        11.

19   CONTINUED:

					SISKO
			Professor... I'm a great admirer of 
			your work.

					SEYETIK
			Excellent.  A man of intelligence 
			and taste.  I can tell we're going 
			to get along famously.

	Sisko can't help but smile.  Seyetik is a piece of work 
	all right.

					SISKO
			My son and I visited Blue Horizon on 
			our way to Deep Space Nine.  I was 
			impressed.

					SEYETIK
				(used to compliments)
			Of course you were.  I created the 
			place and even I'm impressed.
				(a beat)
			How'd you like Da Vinci Falls?

					SISKO
			I'm afraid we didn't get to see them.  
			We were only on the surface for a 
			few hours.

	Seyetik shakes his head sympathetically.

					SEYETIK
			Then you missed Blue Horizon's 
			crowning glory.

					SEYETIK
			But first... Epsilon One-Nineteen.

					SISKO
			I understand the initial surveys 
			look promising.

					SEYETIK
			Promising... They look magnificent... 
			Think of if... Reigniting a dead 
			sun.  Bringing new life to an entire 
			solar system.  Next to that, 
			terraforming planets will look like 
			child's play.

					DAX
			Let's hope it works.  Right now, 
			it's only a promising theory.

					SEYETIK
			Of course it'll work.  I never fail...
				(confidentially)
			Well, I did once, but I found it 
			didn't agree with me, so I swore not 
			to do it again... and I never break 
			my word.
				(a beat)
			You should be glad you're coming 
			with me, Lieutenant.  This will be 
			my crowning achievement.
				(savoring the thought)
			Giving birth to a star.  Even I'll 
			have a hard time topping this one.

					SISKO
				(amused)
			Maybe we should go over your proto-
			matter containment procedures.

					SEYETIK
			A splendid idea.  I think you'll 
			find it fascinating.
				(a beat)
			After all, I designed the containment 
			capsule myself.

	Sisko grins.  Dax rolls her eyes.

20   EXT. SPACE - DEEP SPACE NINE (OPTICAL)

	Re-establishing the station and the Prometheus.

21   INT. PROMENADE - SECOND LEVEL - QUARK'S

	Sisko and Dax are at one of the tables outside of Quark's.  
	Sisko's finished eating and is watching the passing traffic 
	on the second level of the Promenade.  Dax is still finishing 
	her sizable dinner.

					DAX
			Benjamin, you're not going to let 
			that last piece of Andorian tuber-
			root go to waste, are you?

					SISKO
			Why do you ask?

					DAX
			Because it's delicious, that's why.
				(unable to resist)
			May I?

					SISKO
			Be my guest.

	Dax helps herself to Sisko's leftovers.  Sisko's attention 
	goes back to checking out the passing throng.

					DAX
			I'm going to need the extra calories 
			to keep up with Seyetik.  The man 
			works almost as much as he talks...
				(realizes Sisko isn't 
				paying attention)
			Benjamin?

           DEEP SPACE: "Second Sight" - 09/28/93 - ACT ONE          14.

21   CONTINUED:

					SISKO
				(still looking off)
			What?

					DAX
			Looking for someone?

	Sisko turns his attention back to Dax.

					SISKO
			I'm sorry.  What were you saying?

	Dax studies Sisko.  She senses something's going on, but she 
	knows Sisko will talk about it when he's ready.

					DAX
			Nothing important.
				(she gets up, changes 
				the subject)
			I have to meet with Chief O'Brien.  
			We're boosting the maximum speed on 
			Seyetik's ship to warp nine point 
			five.  If his experiment fails... 
			and that sun goes supernova... we're 
			going to want to get out of there... 
			fast.

					SISKO
			I'll see you back in Ops.

	She EXITS.  Sisko continues to watch the crowd, takes a final 
	sip of his Raktajino and gets up.

22   ANGLE ON THE VIEWPORT

	Sisko strolls over to where he last met Fenna.  He gazes out 
	at the stars, for a beat, then realizes he's being a little 
	foolish, and turns to leave...

23   NEW ANGLE

	And is startled to find Fenna standing behind him.

					FENNA
			Benjamin... I was hoping to see you 
			again.

					SISKO
				(pleasantly surprised)
			I was just thinking about you.

					FENNA
				(happy)
			Were you really?  I've been thinking 
			about you, too.

					SISKO
			Where did you disappear to last night?

					FENNA
				(apologetic)
			I had to go.  I'm sorry... I didn't 
			mean to rush away like that.
				(a beat)
			Does your invitation still stand?
				(off his questioning 
				look)
			To show me around the station?

					SISKO
			Of course.  What would you like to 
			see?

					FENNA
			Everything.

					SISKO
			Everything?  That's going to take 
			some time.

					FENNA
			I don't mind, if you don't.

	She takes his arm and they begin walking down the Promenade.

24   INT. UPPER PYLON AIRLOCK (OPTICAL)

	A view of Deep Space Nine that we've never seen before.  A 
	high angle shot looking down from one of the upper pylons.  
	The Station is a vast glowing jewel against the darkness of 
	space.

					SISKO (V.O.)
			What do you think?

25   NEW ANGLE (OPTICAL)

	Sisko and Fenna stand in front of the airlock and look down 
	at the spectacular view.

					FENNA
			It's wonderful.

					SISKO
				(pleased)
			I'm glad you like it.

					FENNA
			You must come here all the time.

					SISKO
			Not really.  And when I do, there's 
			usually a ship blocking the view.

					FENNA
			I wish we'd brought a picnic basket 
			with us.

					SISKO
				(amused)
			Here?

					FENNA
				(enthused)
			What better place?

					SISKO
				(half-serious)
			Well, there's always tomorrow.

					FENNA
			Is that an invitation?

	Sisko thinks it over.  He's surprised to realize it is.

					SISKO
			Sounded like one to me.

					FENNA
			Then I accept.

	Fenna once again looks out over the station.

					SISKO
			Good...
				(a beat)
			Come on.  There's plenty left to 
			see.  In fact, I doubt we can see it 
			all in one evening.

        DEEP SPACE: "Second Sight" - REV. 09/28/93 - ACT ONE        17.

25   CONTINUED:	(2)

					FENNA
			Then you can show me the rest after 
			our picnic tomorrow.

	Sisko realizes how much he's enjoying himself.

					SISKO
			Do you always do that?

					FENNA
			Do what?

					SISKO
			Say exactly the right thing.

					FENNA
			No one's ever told me that before.

					SISKO
				(smiles)
			There you go again.

	A long beat as they stare at each other, both aware that 
	this is one of those magic moments when two people hit it 
	off together without even trying.

					SISKO
			So... tell me all about yourself.

					FENNA
				(self-effacing)
			There's not much to tell.

					SISKO
			Well, whatever there is, I want to 
			hear it.

					FENNA
				(nervous)
			I can't.

			Can't what?

	Fenna is looking as confused as Sisko.

					FENNA
			I can't tell you.

					SISKO
			Why not?

					FENNA
			I'm sorry, Benjamin.  But I have to 
			go.

	Fenna turns and hurries out of the airlock.

					SISKO
			Fenna... wait.

	Sisko follows Fenna out into...

26   INT. PYLON CORRIDOR

	Sisko ENTERS from the airlock just in time to see the 
	turbolift doors close.

27   CLOSE ON SISKO

	Who reacts to Fenna's retreat with disappointment and

A28   INT. SISKO'S QUARTERS

	Jake and Sisko are eating breakfast.  Or at least, Jake is.  
	Sisko's barely touched his.  He seems distracted... his mind's 
	elsewhere.

					JAKE
			So then Tiet looked down at Altrina's 
			lunch and said, "Klingon food?  Those 
			are worms."  And Altrina vomited all 
			over the table.
				(good humored laughter)
			It was pretty disgusting.

	Sisko's only half-listening.

					SISKO
			That's nice, Jake.

					JAKE
			Nice?
				(thinks his dad didn't 
				get it)
			She threw up.

					SISKO
			Huh?  Oh... I'm sorry.  I guess I 
			was thinking about something else.

	A beat as Jake studies his dad.

					JAKE
			Dad, are you in love?

	That gets Sisko's attention.

					SISKO
			What?

					JAKE
			You know... with a woman.
				(defending his 
				supposition)
			You're showing all three of the signs.

					SISKO
			Signs?

           DEEP SPACE: "Second Sight" - 09/28/93 - ACT TWO         19A.

A28   CONTINUED:

					JAKE
			The ones Nog told me about.  Loss of 
			appetite.  Daydreaming.  Smiling all 
			the time.

					SISKO
			You've been talking to Nog about 
			women again?

	Which they both know doesn't answer Jake's question.

					JAKE
			I just want you to know that if you 
			are in love... it's okay with me.

	Sisko smiles.  It's not like he needed his son's "permission," 
	but it's nice to hear.

					SISKO
			Thanks, Jake.

					JAKE
			What's she like?

					SISKO
				(thinks about it)
			She's... really... interesting.

					JAKE
				(disappointed)
			Interesting, huh?
				(beat)
			So... when do I get to meet her?

					SISKO
			It might be a little early for that.

					JAKE
			Why?  She likes you too, doesn't 
			she?

					SISKO
			I think so.

					JAKE
			Then what's the problem?

	Sisko tries to figure out how to put this in words.

           DEEP SPACE: "Second Sight" - 09/28/93 - ACT TWO         19B.

A28   CONTINUED:	(2)

			It's just that...
				(knows this sounds 
				strange)
			She keeps disappearing.

	Off Jake's reaction.

28   INT. SECURITY

	ODO is standing by the "wanted posters" giving instructions to 
	two Bajoran Deputies, one male and one female.

					ODO
			Above all, stay alert.  If the 
			subspace transmission I received is 
			correct and Villus Thed is en route 
			to the station, I want to be notified 
			the moment he arrives.  Keep him 
			under constant surveillance, but 
			remember, he's a short-range telepath, 
			so stay at least five meters away 
			from him at all times.

	Sisko ENTERS the office and catches Odo's eye.

					ODO
				(to the deputies)
			That's all.

	The deputies EXIT.

					ODO
				(continuing)
			What can I do for you, Commander?

					SISKO
				(a little awkward)
			I have a favor to ask... of a personal 
			nature.

					ODO
			Go on.

					SISKO
			I'm looking for someone... a woman.

	Odo sits at the console and opens a new case file.

28   CONTINUED:

			Name?

	Sisko's uncomfortable asking Odo to help him with this kind 
	of thing, but he's already committed himself.

			I don't know... Humanoid.

					ODO
			What ship did she arrive on?

					SISKO
				(realizing how little 
				he knows)
			I don't know.

	Odo gives just the barest look at Sisko.  The commander's 
	not making this one very easy.

					ODO
			All right.  What can you tell me about 
			her?

					SISKO
			Let's see... I'd say she's about one 
			point six meters tall... brown skin... 
			dark hair... the last time I saw her 
			she was wearing a...
				(trying to remember)
			Dark red bodysuit.

	Odo enters this information into his console.

					ODO
			Well that's something, anyway.

					SISKO
			So do you think you can help me?

					ODO
				(with a bit of irony)
			I don't know.

			What kind of trouble?
				(before Sisko can

			Let me guess... You don't know.
				(sees he's right)
			This isn't much to go on... but I'll 
			do what I can.

					SISKO
			I appreciate the help, Odo.

	Sisko EXITS.  Odo looks at the scant information he's compiled 
	and harumphs.

29   INT. OPS

	Kira, Dax and O'Brien are at their stations.  Sisko ENTERS, 
	deep in thought, and is immediately intercepted by Dax.

					DAX
			Benjamin, do you have a minute?

					SISKO
			In my office.

	Sisko gestures toward his office... "After you."

30   INT. COMMANDER'S OFFICE

	Sisko sits on the corner of his desk.

					SISKO
			What's on your mind, Dax?

					DAX
			I was hoping you had something to

					SISKO
			I don't follow you.

					DAX
				(mock hurt)
			You really have no intention of

           DEEP SPACE: "Second Sight" - 09/28/93 - ACT TWO          22.

30   CONTINUED:

					SISKO
			Telling you what?

					DAX
				(playful)
			Come on, Benjamin... I saw you with 
			her last night on the Promenade
				(off Sisko's reaction)
			What's her name?

					SISKO
				(with some reluctance)
			Fenna.  Believe me, Dax... there's 
			nothing to talk about.

					DAX
			You used to tell Curzon everything.

					SISKO
				(smiles)
			Not everything.

					DAX
			You know what I mean.
				(a beat)
			It's because I'm a woman now, isn't 
			it?

					SISKO
			Don't be ridiculous.

	Dax thinks she's hit home.

					DAX
			I understand, Benjamin.  It's not 
			easy talking man to man with a woman.

					SISKO
			That has nothing to do with it.

					DAX
				(not letting go)
			Then tell me what's going on

	Which isn't good enough for Dax, but she knows, for now, 
	that's all she's going to get.

31   EXT. SPACE - DEEP SPACE NINE (OPTICAL)

	With the Prometheus still in dock.

					SISKO (V.O.)

32   INT. PROMETHEUS - SEYETIK'S QUARTERS

	Seyetik is holding court to a rapt audience of Sisko, Kira, 
	Dax, BASHIR and O'Brien.

					SEYETIK
			To be a great terraformer.  You need 
			the green thumb of a gardener, the 
			eye of a painter, the soul of a 
			poet... and it doesn't hurt to be a 
			raging egomaniac.

					KIRA
			Which makes you eminently qualified.

					SEYETIK
				(delighted)
			Of course.

					BASHIR
			Terraforming is amazing enough, but 
			I still don't understand how you 
			intend to reignite a dead sun.

32   CONTINUED:

					SEYETIK
				(his favorite subject)
			Basically... I'll use a remote-piloted 
			shuttlepod to deliver proto-matter 
			into the dead star, which'll start a 
			cascade effect transforming the star's 
			carbon and oxygen into elemental 
			hydrogen.  Then we'll just stand 
			back and watch the fireworks.

					DAX
			Of course, if anything goes wrong, 
			it might be the last thing we ever 
			see.

	Seyetik shoots Dax a disapproving look.

					SEYETIK
			Come now, Lieutenant, nothing of any 
			worth was ever created by a pessimist.

					SISKO
			I don't know about that.  Van Gogh... 
			Beckett... Y'Raka... I wouldn't 
			exactly call them optimists.

					SEYETIK
			Precisely.  And look at their work.  
			Dreary, dark and depressing.  Art 
			should be an affirmation of life.  
			Take for instance... my own work in 
			the field.

					BASHIR
			I once saw an exhibit of your 
			paintings at the Central Gallery on

			Nine volumes and counting.  I always 
			said I wanted to write as many books 
			as I've had marriages.
				(a beat)
			Which reminds me... wait until you

					KIRA
				(who's had about enough

			I can't wait to meet her.

					SEYETIK
			And so you shall.  She should be

			Don't even think about it, Major.

			Well, I for one, find him remarkable

	As Seyetik returns.

					SEYETIK
			Friends... I'd like you to meet my

	NIDELL ENTERS.  She's a beautiful woman, stunningly dressed... 
	and she looks exactly like Fenna.  She glances past Sisko 
	without the slightest hint of recognition.

35   ANGLE ON SISKO AND DAX

	Sisko is stunned and he and Dax both notice the undeniable

	the playfulness of Fenna.

					BASHIR
			I can't eat another bite.

					O'BRIEN
				(to Nidell)
			That was delicious.  Do you think I 
			could get the recipe?

					NIDELL
			That's up to Gideon.  It's his 
			creation.

					SEYETIK
				(taking the stage)
			It took me years to perfect it.  The 
			secret is to sear the Kalo roots 
			slightly before layering them over 
			the slices of roasted Waroon.

	And as Seyetik begins to elaborate, Nidell shrinks back into 
	her shell.

37   ANGLE ON SISKO AND DAX

	As Seyetik gives his recipe, Sisko and Dax watch Nidell and 
	talk quietly between themselves.

	O'Brien and the others have gotten lost in the maze of

			Maybe you should write it down.

	Seyetik laughs and gives O'Brien a good-natured pat on the 
	shoulder.

					SEYETIK
			Of course.  No trouble at all.

			Would you like to talk about it?

	Nidell resumes clearing the table.

					NIDELL
				(coldly)
			Commander, you've obviously mistaken 
			me for someone else.

	Sisko's not convinced, but he's reluctant to push it any 
	further.

					SISKO
			Seems that way, doesn't it?

       DEEP SPACE: "Second Sight" - REV. 09/28/93 - ACT THREE       31.

	Nidell EXITS with a handful of dishes, leaving Sisko 
	wondering what's just transpired.

41   INT. OPS

	Dax and Sisko ENTER from the Turbolift.  Supernumeraries man 
	the various stations.

					SISKO
			I'm telling you Dax, it was the same 
			woman.  The face... the voice... It 
			was Fenna.

					DAX
			Maybe you ought to talk to her when 
			her husband isn't around.

					SISKO
			Dax, she's a married woman.

					DAX
				(shrugs)
			That would never have stopped Curzon.

	Sisko ignores her.  He's obviously been deeply affected by 
	his experience with Nidell.

					SISKO
			It's just that this was the first 
			time since Jennifer's death that 
			I've felt... really drawn to someone.

42   NEW ANGLE

	Odo ENTERS from the opposite side of Ops.

					ODO
			Commander, may I have a word with 
			you?
				(Sisko nods)
			I thought you should know... I checked 
			this week's docking and transporter 
			logs and there's no record of anyone 
			fitting the description you gave me.

       DEEP SPACE: "Second Sight" - REV. 09/28/93 - ACT THREE       32.

42   CONTINUED:

					SISKO
			Thanks, Odo... but you can call off 
			the search.  I already found the 
			woman I was looking for.

	Odo is both surprised and extremely curious about this latest 
	development.

					ODO
			Did you?
				(has to know)
			Where was she?  If you don't mind my 
			asking.

					SISKO
			Aboard the Prometheus.

					ODO
				(not satisfied)
			The Prometheus?  Are you sure?

					SISKO
			We just left there a few minutes 
			ago.

					ODO
			But that's impossible.

					SISKO
				(surprised)
			What do you mean?

					ODO
			I checked the de-embarkation logs as 
			part of my search.  Except for 
			Professor Seyetik, no one has left 
			the Prometheus the entire time it's 
			been at the station.

	Sisko and Dax react to this latest mystery.

       DEEP SPACE: "Second Sight" - REV. 09/28/93 - ACT THREE       33.

43   INT. PROMENADE - SECOND LEVEL

	Sisko waits by the viewport.  His stance and his attitude 
	says he's been waiting a long time.

					QUARK (O.S.)
			Commander?

44   NEW ANGLE

	Sisko turns around and sees QUARK, standing behind him.  
	It's not really what he was hoping for.  Quark offers him a 
	drink.

					QUARK
			I thought you could use this.

					SISKO
			Thanks, but I was just leaving.

					QUARK
			Stood you up, didn't she?
				(off Sisko's reaction)
			When you've worked in a bar as long 
			as I have, you get to recognize that 
			look.
				(confidentially)
			I've even seen it in the mirror...
				(covering up)
			Once or twice.

					SISKO
			I'd better be getting home.

					QUARK
			If you'd like, we could go down to 
			the bar and talk... You know... about 
			women.

					SISKO
			I don't think so.

	Sisko walks away.  Quark calls after him.

					QUARK
			Don't forget, the holosuites are 
			always open.

	Sisko returns alone to his quarters.

46   INT. SISKO'S QUARTERS

	Close on Sisko as he ENTERS.

					FENNA (O.S.)
				(excited)
			Benjamin.

	Sisko turns.

47   NEW ANGLE

	And sees Fenna standing in the corridor at the open doorway.  
	She ENTERS his quarters and hugs him.

					FENNA
			I missed you.
				(senses his confusion)
			Is something wrong?

					SISKO
			I just had dinner with someone who 
			looks exactly like you.

					FENNA
			Like me?  How strange?

					SISKO
			Then you're telling me that your 
			name isn't really Nidell and you're 
			not the wife of Gideon Seyetik.

					FENNA
				(totally honest)
			Of course not.  I'm Fenna.  You know 
			that.

	Sisko stares at her and sees in her eyes that she's telling 
	the truth.

					SISKO
				(bewildered)
			Right now, I'm not sure what I know.
				(grasping for straws)
			I don't suppose you have a twin 
			sister.

	Fenna smiles.

47   CONTINUED:

					FENNA
				(joking)
			Not that I know of.

					SISKO
				(after a beat, serious)
			Fenna... I need to know where you 
			came from... what you're doing on 
			this station.

					FENNA
			Does that matter?

					SISKO
			Of course it matters.  I need to 
			know who you are.

					FENNA
			You do know me, Benjamin.

48   CLOSE ON FENNA AND SISKO (OPTICAL)

	Fenna slips into Sisko's arms and looks up into his eyes.

					FENNA
			When I came here, I thought I was 
			looking for a place... somewhere I 
			belonged... but I was wrong.  I wasn't 
			looking for a place.  I was looking 
			for a person.  I was looking for 
			you.

	She kisses him.  And finally, Sisko allows himself to give 
	in to the moment.  He returns the kiss.

	She smiles... And then, a look of fear comes over her face.

			Benjamin...

	And she slowly fades out of existence.

49   CLOSE ON SISKO


	As he looks in disbelief at the place where Fenna used to 
	be.  Hold on him, lost, confused, and alone, then...

50   INT. AIRLOCK CORRIDOR

	Dax is checking with O'Brien, who has finished his final 
	prep of the Prometheus before it departs on Seyetik's mission.

					O'BRIEN
			All right, Lieutenant.  I've got the 
			warp drive on the Prometheus purring 
			like a kitten.  It'll do nine point 
			six in a pinch but I wouldn't take 
			it any faster...

					DAX
			I thought the theoretical maximum 
			for those engines was warp nine point 
			five?

					O'BRIEN
				(understated pride)
			It was.

51   NEW ANGLE

	Seyetik sticks his head out of the Prometheus's airlock.

					SEYETIK
			Must I remind you, Lieutenant, that 
			some of us only have one lifetime.

					DAX
			I'll be right there.

52   BACK TO SCENE

	O'Brien gives Dax an encouraging smile as Seyetik ducks back 
	through the hatch.

					O'BRIEN
			Good luck, Lieutenant.

	O'Brien EXITS, passing...

53   SISKO

	who ENTERS the corridor.

53   CONTINUED:

					DAX
			Come to see us off, Benjamin.

					SISKO
			Not exactly.  I'm going with you.  
			After all, how often do you get to 
			see a star reborn.

	Dax doesn't buy that explanation for a second.  Not that 
	Sisko was really trying to bluff her anyway.

					DAX
			You sure this is a good idea?

					SISKO
				(after a beat)
			I need answers, Dax.  And the key to 
			Fenna's disappearance could be on 
			that ship.

	Sisko and Dax board the Prometheus.

54   EXT. SPACE (OPTICAL)

	The Prometheus heading toward its destination at warp.

55   INT. PROMETHEUS - BRIDGE

	The Prometheus is a science vessel with a small crew.  A 
	human Lt. Commander (PIERSALL) in charge, plus four N.D. 
	Starfleet officers.  Dax is working with Piersall at a 
	console.

					PIERSALL
			Your chief of operations did some 
			amazing things with our engines.  We 
			should reach Epsilon One-Nineteen 
			well ahead of schedule.
				(a beat)
			Have you finished loading the proto-

          DEEP SPACE: "Second Sight" - 09/28/93 - ACT FOUR          39.

55   CONTINUED:

			All set.  The containment field is

	Piersall nods in approval.

56   NEW ANGLE

	Sisko and Seyetik ENTER the bridge.

					SEYETIK
				(finishing a story)
			I'm telling you, Commander, by the 
			time I was through with New Halana, 
			it was a paradise.
				(a beat)
			How are we doing, Mister Piersall?

					PIERSALL
			We'll be initiating preliminary scans 
			in a few hours.

	Seyetik seems somewhat melancholy.  When he responds, it's 
	with less enthusiasm than might be expected.

					SEYETIK
			Let me know when we get there.

					SISKO
			You must be eager to get started.  
			What did you call this?  Your crowning 
			achievement.

					SEYETIK
				(somber)
			Don't remind me.
				(off Sisko's look)
			Commander, my whole life has been a 
			series of escalating triumphs.  It's 
			what I live for... knowing that no 
			matter what I achieve, there's always 
			another challenge waiting for me.

					SISKO
			And now?

					SEYETIK
			Are you familiar with the Klingon 
			poet G'trok?

          DEEP SPACE: "Second Sight" - 09/28/93 - ACT FOUR         39A.

					SEYETIK
			A little obvious perhaps, but true

	Seyetik shrugs off his black mood.

					SEYETIK
				(continuing)
			So what were we talking about?

					SISKO
			You.

					SEYETIK
				(brightening)
			Of course.  My favorite subject.  
			Where was I?

					SISKO
				(leading him on)
			You had just finished terraforming 
			New Halana.

					SEYETIK
			Ah, yes.  Well, you can imagine how 
			grateful the Halanans were.  There 
			were endless parades and receptions.  
			It got to be a bit of a bore actually.
				(a beat)
			But then, I met Nidell.  She was the 
			daughter of a local dignitary.  She 
			was utterly infatuated with me from 
			the start.  I can't say I blamed 
			her.  The first time she saw me, I 
			was surrounded by a cheering crowd, 
			unveiling a statue they'd commissioned 
			in my honor.

	Seyetik smiles at the memory.

			I could tell right away she was 
			someone special.  She'd never been 
			offworld before she met me.  I 
			promised to show her the galaxy... 
			I'd've given it to her if I could've.

	Hearing Seyetik rhapsodize over Nidell is not doing much for 
	Sisko's spirits.

					SISKO
			She must love you very much.

					SEYETIK
				(reflective)
			She does, Commander.  Don't ask me 
			why.  But she does.

	Sisko reacts.

57   EXT. SPACE (OPTICAL)

	Sisko reaches the door to Seyetik's Quarters.  He stands 
	there for moment, marshalling his resolve, then presses the 
	chime.

	He waits a beat, then...

					NIDELL'S COM VOICE
			Yes.

					SISKO
			Nidell, it's Commander Sisko.  Can I 
			talk to you for a minute?

					NIDELL'S COM VOICE
			I'm sorry, Commander.  I'm not feeling

					SISKO
			Is there anything I can do?

			Of course.

	Sisko stands by the door for a moment longer, then walks 
	away.

59   INT. PROMETHEUS - GUEST QUARTERS

	Sisko ENTERS his room, and is surprised to find...

60   FENNA

	Sitting on his bed, waiting for him.

					SISKO
			Fenna?

					FENNA
				(happy)
			Benjamin.  I'm so glad to see you.

	She hugs him.  Sisko is happy to see her, but this time he's 
	determined to solve the mystery.

					SISKO
				(to com)
			Dax, report to my quarters 
			immediately.

					DAX'S COM VOICE
			On my way.

	Fenna pulls back, confused by Sisko's dispassionate response.

					FENNA
			Benjamin... What's wrong?

	Sisko can't believe she's really here.

					SISKO
			The last time I saw you, you... 
			vanished.

	takes out her tricorder and scans Fenna.

					FENNA
				(flinching away)
			What's she doing?

					SISKO
				(gently)
			It's all right.  She's not going to

	Sisko gives Dax a questioning look.

					SEYETIK
				(panicky)
			She won't wake up.

			Professor, what the hell is going on

					SEYETIK
				(re: Fenna)
			That thing over there isn't real.

	Sisko places a protective arm around her, but he fears

				(to Sisko)
			Nidell is a psychoprojective telepath.

					SISKO
				(looking for

			Lieutenant?

	Dax continues analyzing Nidell with her tricorder.

					DAX
			I've never seen readings like these.

					SEYETIK
				(frantic)
			She's dying.  You have to help her.

			There's nothing I can do.

					SISKO

70   ON SISKO AND SEYETIK

	After Dax and Fenna EXIT, Sisko takes a calming breath and

					SISKO
			Alright, Professor.  If what you're

			psychoprojective abilities are killing 
			her... and I need to know why.

	Seyetik slumps and suddenly he looks every bit his age.

					SEYETIK
			Nidell doesn't even know this is 
			happening.  During times of deep 
			emotional distress... Halanans can 
			lose control of these abilities.  
			And I'm afraid my wife... is very 
			emotionally distraught.
				(a beat)
			She's done this once before.  Three

				(a rueful smile)
			My other wives all had the sense to

	Dax at a console.

					DAX
				(to Piersall)
			He's opening a channel.

					PIERSALL
			On screen.

75   ANGLE ON MAIN VIEWSCREEN (OPTICAL)

	Seyetik appears.  He barely fits inside the tight, cramped 
	interior of the shuttlepod, but he's brimming with his old 
	self-confidence.

	We intercut as needed with the bridge of the Prometheus.

          DEEP SPACE: "Second Sight" - 09/28/93 - ACT FIVE          52.

					SEYETIK
				(hits some controls)
			I hope this transmitter is working.  
			I'd hate to go to all this trouble 

			without an audience.

					PIERSALL
			Professor, what do you think you're 
			doing?

					SEYETIK
			Making history.
				(a beat)
			You might want to record this.  For 
			posterity and all that.

					DAX
			He's about sixty seconds away from 
			impact.

75A  NEW ANGLE

	Sisko and Fenna ENTER.

					SISKO
			Seyetik, you don't have to do this.  
			We found a way to save Nidell.

					SEYETIK
			I had the feeling you would, 
			Commander.  But this is the only way 
			to truly set her free.  I owe her 
			that.
				(brightening)
			Besides, this will be my crowning 
			achievement.  Remember "The Fall of 
			Kang."  Well, you're looking at one 
			warrior who refuses to be pitied.

					PIERSALL
			What's he talking about?

					SISKO
			Klingon poetry.

					DAX
			Thirty seconds until impact.

        DEEP SPACE: "Second Sight" - REV. 09/28/93 - ACT FIVE      52A.

75A  CONTINUED:

					SISKO
				(to Seyetik)
			Professor, I want you to turn that 
			shuttlepod around.  That's an order.

					SEYETIK
			Too late, Commander.  I've already 
			entered the gravity well of the star.

					SISKO
				(to Piersall)
			Engage the tractor beam.

					PIERSALL
			He disabled it before he left.

					SEYETIK
			Commander, when this is over, you'll 
			find a case with my personal 
			belongings.  There's something in 
			there you need to find.

					SISKO
			What is it?

					SEYETIK
			My obituary.  I wrote it myself.
				(a beat)
			After all, I couldn't trust such an 
			important document to some stranger.  
			Do me a favor and see to it that 
			it's sent to the Daystrom Institute 
			for publication.
				(beat)
			Which reminds me, I didn't get a 
			chance to update it before I left.  
			Let the record state "He sacrificed 
			himself on the alter of science."

					DAX
			Ten seconds.

        DEEP SPACE: "Second Sight" - REV. 09/28/93 - ACT FIVE       53.

75A  CONTINUED:	(2)

					SISKO
			I'll be sure they get it.

					SEYETIK
			I knew I could count on you.

					DAX
			Five seconds.
				(checks his instruments)
			Keep you eyes on the viewscreen, 
			Commander.  You'll never see anything 
			like this again...
				(a devilish grin)
			Let there be light.

76   EXT. SPACE (OPTICAL)

	As we see the shuttlepod disappear into the dead sun. A beat 
	and with a gigantic explosion, the sun flares into blinding 
	new light.

77   INT. PROMETHEUS - BRIDGE (OPTICAL)

	The new sun blazes forth on the Viewscreen, bathing the bridge 
	in it's light.

78   CLOSE ON SISKO

	As he turns to Fenna.

79   CLOSE ON FENNA (OPTICAL)

	Who looks lovingly up at Sisko... a single tear sliding down 
	her cheek...

	And she slowly fades away.

80   BACK TO SCENE

	Reactions from all.

        DEEP SPACE: "Second Sight" - REV. 09/28/93 - ACT FIVE       54.

81   CLOSE ON SISKO

	As he says his silent goodbye.

82   EXT. SPACE - DEEP SPACE NINE (OPTICAL)

	Re-establishing.  The Prometheus is back in dock.

					SISKO (V.O.)
			Station log, supplemental.  Epsilon 
			One-Nineteen continues to burn 
			brightly, a fitting memorial to a 
			brilliant man.  Meanwhile, I'm happy 
			to report Nidell has made a complete 
			recovery.

83   INT. PROMENADE - SECOND LEVEL (THE NEXT DAY)

	Sisko is back at the viewport, contemplating the stars.

					SISKO (V.O.)
				(continuing)
			Unfortunately, she has no memory of 
			Fenna's experiences.

					NIDELL (O.S.)
			Benjamin...

84   NEW ANGLE

	Sisko turns to face Nidell.  For a moment he can almost 
	imagine it's Fenna, but he knows better.

					SISKO
			Nidell.  How'd you know I was here?

					NIDELL
			Lieutenant Dax told me.

	He smiles.  A beat.

					SISKO
			So... when does the Prometheus leave?

					NIDELL
			Soon.  I just wanted to say goodbye... 
			and thank you.

	Sisko acknowledges her thanks.  There's an awkward silence.

        DEEP SPACE: "Second Sight" - REV. 09/28/93 - ACT FIVE       55.

84   CONTINUED:

					NIDELL
				(with a slight smile)
			It'll be good to get home.

					SISKO
			How long do you plan to stay on New 
			Halana?

					NIDELL
			For the rest of my life.  I've been 
			away too long as it is.

	Another awkward silence.

					NIDELL
				(continuing)
			I wish I could remember Fenna... 
			what she did, how she felt...
				(a beat)
			But I can't.

	Sisko gives her a bittersweet smile.

					NIDELL
				(continuing)
			I'm sorry.

					SISKO
			That's all right.  I can remember for 
			both of us.

	She nods, accepting this and knowing it's his final gift to 
	her.  She starts to leave, then turns back with one last 
	thought.

					NIDELL
			Tell me one thing...

					SISKO
			If I can.

					NIDELL
			What was she like?

					SISKO
			Fenna?

	She nods.  He looks into her eyes one last time.

					SISKO
			She was just like you.

          DEEP SPACE: "Second Sight" - 09/28/93 - ACT FIVE          56.

84   CONTINUED:	(2)

	A beat, she acknowledges this with some sadness, and then 
	turns and walks down the spiral staircase, disappearing from 
	view around the final turn.

85   ON SISKO

	He watches her go, then turns back and looks for solace in 
	the stars.

									FADE OUT.
