	FADE IN:

1    INT. OPS

	O'BRIEN is lying in the pit, flat on his back with a scorch 
	mark on his chest.  BASHIR is kneeling over him with medical 
	equipment as SISKO looks on.  One of the computer panels in 
	the pit has been blown apart and there are still a few wisps 
	of smoke coming out of the damaged area.  O'Brien's eyes 
	flutter open and he looks up in confusion.

					BASHIR
			It's all right, Chief... you're going 
			to be fine.

					O'BRIEN
				(unsteady)
			What... happened?

					SISKO
			You were re-routing a phase inducer 
			when one of the plasma conduits blew 
			out.

	O'Brien sits up.

					BASHIR
			Easy there.  You have a mild case of 
			radiation poisoning.  I've given you 
			some hyronalin, which should 
			counteract the affects.
				(looks to Sisko)
			But I think he should be restricted 
			to light duty for a few days.

					SISKO
			Agreed.

	KIRA comes over to Sisko.

					KIRA
			Commander, the transport's arrived 
			and they're requesting permission to 
			dock.

             DEEP SPACE: "Visionary" - 01/03/95 - TEASER             2.

1    CONTINUED:

					SISKO
			Route them to Docking Bay Twelve.  
			Inform the Romulan delegation that 
			we'll meet them there.

	Kira nods and moves off.  O'Brien gets to his feet and heads 
	climbs up the ladder with Bashir.

					SISKO
			And Chief...

	O'Brien stops.

					SISKO
				(continuing)
			"Light duty" means light.  I don't 
			want to see you crawling around the 
			Jefferies tubes tonight, chasing 
			down power surges.

	O'Brien puts a hand to his head.

					O'BRIEN
			You won't get any arguments today, 
			Commander.

	Sisko gives him a slight smile as O'Brien and Bashir EXIT.  
	He then looks over at Kira, who's finishing her work at the 
	console.

					SISKO
			Ready, Major?

	Kira nods.  Sisko heads for the EXIT and Kira follows him.

									CUT TO:

2    EXT. SPACE - DEEP SPACE NINE (OPTICAL)

	The station hangs in space.

3    INT. PROMENADE

	Sisko and Kira are walking along the Promenade when suddenly 
	ODO and TWO SECURITY GUARDS come out of Quark's.  The Guards 
	are holding an obviously drunk Klingon named BO'RAK, who is 
	struggling as they haul him away.

					BO'RAK
			Du'cha Kovah!  Estah!  (Leave me 
			alone!  Let me go!)

	Sisko looks concerned.

             DEEP SPACE: "Visionary" - 01/03/95 - TEASER             3.

3    CONTINUED:

					SISKO
				(to Odo)
			I wasn't aware there were any Klingons 
			on the station, Constable.

					ODO
			They just arrived a few hours ago.  
			It seems the main computer on their 
			freighter was damaged and they need 
			a complete overhaul before they can 
			continue back to the Klingon Empire.

					KIRA
			How long will this overhaul take?

	The Klingon belches loudly.

					ODO
				(with distaste)
			Two days, at least.

	Sisko inclines his head at Odo, who steps aside for a private 
	meeting.

					SISKO
				(quietly)
			The Romulan delegation has arrived 
			and they're going to be here for at 
			least two days while they study our 
			intelligence reports on the Dominion.  
			I want you to keep a close eye on 
			the Klingons.  We don't need any 
			trouble right now.

					ODO
			Understood.
				(to guards)
			Let's go.

	Odo and the guards drag off the Klingon.  Sisko and Kira 
	head down the corridor...

									CUT TO:

4    INT. AIRLOCK

	As Sisko and Kira arrive.  Two N.D. Security Guards are 
	standing outside the airlock.  Kira nods to a guard, who 
	hits a control and the airlock doors OPEN.  TWO large, burly 
	N.D. Romulan Guards walk out and look around impassively.

             DEEP SPACE: "Visionary" - 01/03/95 - TEASER            3A.

4    CONTINUED:

	After a beat, TWO ROMULAN DIPLOMATS dressed in civilian 

	clothes follow them.  One is a man in his forties named RUWON.  
	The second is a woman about the same age named KARINA.

             DEEP SPACE: "Visionary" - 01/03/95 - TEASER             4.

4    CONTINUED:	(2)

	Their attitudes are cold and brusque.

					SISKO
			Welcome to Deep Space Nine.  I'm 
			Commander Sisko... this is my first 
			officer, Major Kira.

					RUWON
			I am Ruwon.  This is Karina.  We are 
			ready for your report on the Dominion.

					SISKO
			We have quarters arranged for you.  
			I know it's been a long trip... 
			perhaps you'd like to --

					RUWON
			We are not interested in your 
			accommodations, commander.  We are 
			here for your intelligence briefing.  
			Nothing else.

	Sisko and Kira exchange a look -- this isn't going to be a 
	pleasant meeting, but they try to make the best of it.  Sisko 
	leads them down the corridor.

					SISKO
			Very well.  If you'll come this way.

	As they walk off...

									CUT TO:

5    INT. QUARK'S

	where QUARK is hanging O'Brien's dartboard on a bulkhead.  
	O'Brien is taking slow, deliberate steps away from the 
	bulkhead... pacing off a certain distance.  Finally, he stops 
	and turns to Quark.

					O'BRIEN
			This will be the foul line.  We'll 
			need to put some kind of marker here 
			on the floor.

					QUARK
				(grumbling)
			I still don't see how this is going 
			to help my business, Chief.

	Quark steps away from the dartboard, which is crooked.

             DEEP SPACE: "Visionary" - 01/03/95 - TEASER             5.

5    CONTINUED:

					O'BRIEN
				(re: board)
			No, no, that's not right.  The number 
			twenty should be at the top.

	Quark sighs and adjusts the dart board.

					O'BRIEN
			Trust me, Quark.  Darts and bars go 
			together like bacon and eggs.

					QUARK
			At least people order bacon and eggs.  
			In all the years I've been here, no 
			one has ever come in and asked to 
			see the dart board.

	Quark joins O'Brien back at the foul line.

					O'BRIEN
			Trust me.  They will.

	Quark reaches over and picks up a handful of darts that are 
	sitting on a nearby table.

					QUARK
			I just don't see the appeal of this 
			game.  No lasers... no holograms... 
			just steel tips and feathers.

					O'BRIEN
			It's a game of skill, Quark.  And 
			it's not so easy.  Go ahead.  Try to 
			get one in the bullseye.

	Quark thinks about it for a second, then before O'Brien can 
	protest, he throws the entire handful of darts all at once.

					O'BRIEN
			No -- !

	O'Brien and Quark react with shock at something off camera...

6    ANGLE ON MORN

	sitting at a nearby table.  His uniform is now covered with 
	Quark's darts.  He looks a little disturbed and unsure how 
	to react to the darts now poking out of his uniform.

             DEEP SPACE: "Visionary" - 01/03/95 - TEASER             6.

7    RESUME QUARK AND O'BRIEN

					QUARK
				(outraged, to O'Brien)
			Now what if one of those darts had 
			gone into his eye?  Do you realize 
			I'd be liable for that?  Do you know 
			how much money an eye costs?

					O'BRIEN
			You're not supposed to throw them 
			like that, Quark.

	He takes another dart off the table.

					O'BRIEN
			You throw them one at a time... 
			gently.  Like this.

	He takes careful aim at the board... and as the dart leaves 
	his hand, we suddenly...

									CUT TO:

8    INT. PROMENADE - SECOND LEVEL

	O'Brien is standing on the second level in the exact same 
	pose we just left him.  He looks around, confused at this 
	sudden change of setting.  Although O'Brien doesn't realize 
	it yet, he has just jumped five hours into the future.

	Before O'Brien can fully realize what's going on, he hears 
	Quark's voice from off camera:

					QUARK'S VOICE
			Chief O'Brien?

	O'Brien turns and reacts in shock to what he sees --

9    NEW ANGLE

	Across the Promenade, Quark has just stopped another O'Brien.  
	Neither this Future O'Brien nor Quark has seen the other 
	Past O'Brien standing across the Promenade yet.

					QUARK
				(to Future O'Brien)
			The Klingons have destroyed two of 
			my holosuites.  I need a maintenance 
			crew immediately.

	Future O'Brien looks annoyed... this is a familiar story.

             DEEP SPACE: "Visionary" - 01/03/95 - TEASER             7.

9    CONTINUED:

					FUTURE O'BRIEN
			Quark, we go through this every time 
			Klingons come aboard the station.  
			Why don't you just keep them out of 
			the holosuites?

					QUARK
			Have you ever said no to a Klingon?  
			Besides, they're paying me double.

	The Future O'Brien rolls his eyes a bit, and in doing so, he 
	catches a glimpse of his past self standing across the 
	Promenade, o.s.  He reacts in shock...

10   ANGLE ON PAST O'BRIEN

	who is staring at his future self in bewilderment.  He takes 
	a step toward his future self, and as he does so, we...

									CUT TO:

11   INT. QUARK'S

	Where the dart thuds into the wall.  O'Brien has returned to 
	the exact same moment he left.  No one around him is aware 
	that anything has happened.  As the dart hits the wall, 
	O'Brien buckles over in pain and falls to his knees.  OFF 
	O'Brien's stunned reaction...

									FADE OUT.

12   INT. INFIRMARY

	O'Brien is sitting on a diagnostic table.  Bashir is finishing 
	a series of tests.

					BASHIR
			The pain you experienced appears to 
			be a muscle spasm caused by a sudden 
			decrease in your serum calcium levels -- 
			it's a typical side effect of 
			radiation poisoning.

	Bashir picks up a hypospray and gives him an injection.

					BASHIR
				(continuing)
			I'm giving you some asinolyathin for 
			the pain.

					O'BRIEN
			But what about... the vision I had?

					BASHIR
			Mild hallucinations are also a fairly 
			common side-effect of this type of 
			radiation poisoning.

					O'BRIEN
			It was anything but mild.  I really 
			felt like I was watching myself 
			standing on the Promenade, talking 
			to Quark.

					BASHIR
			Hmmm.  What was the conversation 
			about?

					O'BRIEN
			He was... complaining about some 
			Klingons... he said they'd damaged 
			two of his holosuites.

	Bashir looks a little concerned.

            DEEP SPACE: "Visionary" - 01/03/95 - ACT ONE             9.

12   CONTINUED:

					BASHIR
			Well... you do seem to have one 
			problem.
				(beat)
			If all you can hallucinate about is 
			Quark's maintenance problems... I'd 
			say you have a sadly deficient fantasy 
			life.

	O'Brien gives him a dirty look, gets up off the table.

					O'BRIEN
			Thank you for your professional 
			opinion.

	Bashir smiles.

					BASHIR
			Any time.  My door is always open to 
			you, Chief.

	O'Brien heads out the door and Bashir goes back to work.

									CUT TO:

13   INT. WARDROOM

	Sisko and Kira are sitting across the table from Ruwon and 
	Karina.  The Romulan Guards are standing outside the room in 
	the Corridor.  There are several PADDS on the table.  Ruwon 
	puts down one of the PADDS.

					RUWON
			This is insufficient.

					SISKO
			That report was compiled from 
			intercepted Dominion communications 
			in the Gamma Quadrant over the past 
			three weeks.  It's the latest 
			information we have.

					RUWON
			It is still insufficient.

					KARINA
			We want to see the raw data from the 
			relay which intercepted these 
			communications.

					KIRA
			I can arrange that.

            DEEP SPACE: "Visionary" - 01/03/95 - ACT ONE            10.

13   CONTINUED:

					RUWON
				(pushing)
			The Dominion represents one of the 
			greatest threats to the Alpha Quadrant 
			in the last century.  We need more 
			information on their military 
			capabilities.  How many ships do 
			they have?  Where are they deployed?  
			What are their plans for the future?  
			Are they planning an attack?

					SISKO
			We don't know any of that yet.

					KARINA
			You have one of the Founders of the 
			Dominion on this very station.  He 
			should be able to tell us everything 
			we need to know about their 
			intentions.

					KIRA
			Odo is not one of the Founders.

					KARINA
			Your own reports indicate that a 
			group of changelings are the real 
			source of power behind the Dominion...

					KIRA
			Yes...

					RUWON
			And Odo is a changeling.

					KIRA
			But he's not a Founder.

					RUWON
			I fail to see the distinction.

					KIRA
			Odo made a conscious choice to stay 
			here with us.  He has no loyalty to 
			the Dominion and he has no information 
			about their plans.

					RUWON
			We find that hard to believe.

            DEEP SPACE: "Visionary" - 01/03/95 - ACT ONE           10A.

13   CONTINUED:	(2)

					SISKO
				(firm)
			It's the truth, whether you choose 
			to believe it or not.

	A tense beat.  Ruwon and Karina exchange a look.  Ruwon gets 
	up, clasps his hands behind his back and takes a few steps 
	toward the window.  He stares out at the stars for a moment.

            DEEP SPACE: "Visionary" - 01/03/95 - ACT ONE            11.

13   CONTINUED:	(3)

					RUWON
			Commander... we allowed you to place 
			one of our cloaking devices on the 
			Defiant in exchange for information 
			regarding the Dominion.
				(beat)
			So now, you have the cloaking device 
			and we have... very little.

					KARINA
			We shouldn't have to remind you of 
			the importance both our governments 
			place on continuing to carry out 
			this agreement.  It's the first treaty 
			between Romulus and the Federation 
			in many years.

					SISKO
			I'm aware of that... and I'm willing 
			to cooperate with you in any way 
			that I can.

					RUWON
			Very well.  Then we want to see every 
			piece of information Starfleet has 
			on the Dominion... no matter how 
			insignificant.

					KARINA
			That includes any classified reports 
			you may have made to Starfleet 
			Command...

					SISKO
			I'll have to clear that with 
			Starfleet.

					RUWON
			Then do it.

	He nods at Karina and the two of them walk out of the room, 
	followed by the guards.  Sisko and Kira exchange a look -- 
	this is going to be a long and difficult process...

15   INT. PROMENADE - SECOND LEVEL

	O'Brien is walking along.  Suddenly Quark steps out of the 
	bar and gets his attention.

					QUARK
			Chief O'Brien...

	O'Brien stops and turns.  As Quark talks to him, O'Brien 
	slowly begins to realize that this is the exact same 
	conversation that he witnessed earlier:

					QUARK
				(over above action)
			The Klingons have destroyed two of 
			my holosuites.  I need a maintenance 
			crew immediately.

					O'BRIEN
			Quark, we go through this every time 
			Klingons come aboard the station.  
			Why don't you just...

			So it would seem that you did travel

					O'BRIEN

			Do you have any idea what caused

					DAX
			Not yet.  I want to go over the

					BASHIR
			I ran a microcellular scan and

			shifting.

					O'BRIEN
			Can you repair it?

					BASHIR
			Yes.  But the effect is cumulative.  
			If you keep time shifting, there may 
			come a point where the damage becomes 
			irreparable.  Eventually, it might 
			even kill you.

					SISKO
				(to O'Brien)
			Don't worry, Chief.  Dax already has 
			every scanner on this station hunting 
			for any temporal abnormalities.

					O'BRIEN
			Well, if anyone can find the cause

					BASHIR
			In the meantime, I'm also working on 
			a way to purge your system of the 
			residual radio-isotopes in case it's

			Normally, the isotopes would take a

			Well... this conference with the

	Sisko and Kira walking along.

					KIRA
			The Romulans want to debrief everyone 
			who was on the Defiant when it was 
			captured by the Founders.  They're 
			also still not happy with the sensor 
			information collected by the Defiant.  
			So they want unrestricted access to 
			the Defiant.  And they want complete 
			access to all our personal logs.

					SISKO
			Personal logs are out of the question.  
			But they can have limited access to 
			the Defiant, and I'll let them debrief 
			us as well.

	Kira looks obviously unhappy at this, and Sisko stops for a 
	moment.

					SISKO
				(continuing)
			I know they're pushing us, Major.  
			But consider their position.  No 
			Romulan ships have ever been into 
			the Gamma Quadrant, much less 
			encountered the Dominion.  So they're 
			completely dependent on us for 
			information.

					KIRA
			Then maybe they should send their 
			own ships through the wormhole and 
			find out for themselves...

					SISKO
			The Romulans generally prefer to sit 
			back and pull the strings from a 
			distance if they can.

	They continue walking.

					KIRA
			Well this is one puppet who doesn't 
			like her strings pulled.

					SISKO
			I know.  But like Ruwon said, they've 
			lived up to their end of the bargain.  
			And we have to do everything we can 
			to live up to ours.

	Ruwon eyes her impassively.

					RUWON
			You seem very agitated for someone

					KARINA
			Indeed, your emotional state would 
			seem to indicate that our theory is 
			correct and you did abandon the 
			Defiant prematurely when it was 
			attacked by the Jem'Hadar.

	Kira tries to clamp down on her temper.  With great effort, 
	she sits back down in her chair and folds her hands in front 
	of her.  When she speaks again, it's with the strained 
	patience of someone bending over backwards to cooperate.

					KIRA
				(forced calm)
			When the Defiant was attacked, Odo 
			and I were trapped belowdecks.  
			There was a hand-to-hand fight in 
			the corridors.  I was wounded and I 
			lost consciousness.  When I came to, 
			Odo had already put me aboard a

			So you expect us to believe that 
			while the rest of the Defiant's crew 
			was taken prisoner... you and Odo 
			were allowed to escape in a

					KIRA
			That's exactly what happened.

					RUWON
			Why didn't Odo try to help the rest 
			of the Defiant crew?

					KIRA
			I'm sure he wanted to.  But there 
			was no way to get to the Bridge and --

					KARINA
			Why were you in Odo's Quarters when 
			the ship was attacked?

					KIRA
			We were talking.

					KARINA
			About what?

					KIRA
			It's personal.

					RUWON
			Do you often have personal talks 
			with the changeling?

					KIRA
			What business is that of yours?

					RUWON
			We're trying to determine the nature 
			of your relationship.

					KARINA
			You are the only member of the 
			Defiant's crew who was not taken 
			prisoner.  Why?  Did the Founders 
			believe Odo would react badly if you 
			were harmed?  Did they think you 
			held some kind of attraction to him?

					RUWON
			Has Odo ever shown some kind of... 
			physical interest in you, Major?

	Kira finally boils over.

			Well, since it appears that your

					SISKO
			Assuming for the moment that a

			we combat its effects on the Chief?

	Bashir thinks for a moment.

					BASHIR
			The temporal displacement caused by

					SISKO
			So you're saying that it could be

					BASHIR
			Exactly.
				(to O'Brien)

			Should I move them to other quarters?

			No.  That'll warn whoever's

			You have something, Constable?

	He turns to Sisko.

					ODO
			No.  We've been monitoring the

			three hours.  No one's come anywhere 
			near the panel.  However, sensors 
			did detect a low energy transporter 
			beam a short time ago.
				(beat)
			They beamed the device directly into

					SISKO
			That's a delicate piece of transporter 
			work.

					ODO
			Yes.  So far, we haven't been able 
			to trace the beam back to its point 
			of origin.  But since there aren't 
			any ships nearby, I believe it 
			originated somewhere on the station.

					SISKO
			Any suspects?

					ODO
			Since it appears to be a device 
			intended to conduct covert 
			surveillance of the Romulans, my 
			leading suspects would be the 
			Klingons.

					SISKO
			Do you have any evidence besides the 
			fact that Klingons hate Romulans?

					ODO
			Not yet.  But don't worry -- I plan 
			on investigating the Klingons, the 
			Bajorans, Quark, the visiting 
			Terrelians...

					SISKO
			You think Quark had something to do 
			with this?

					ODO
			We finally were able to localize the

					SISKO
			These quarters have been vacant for

					ODO
			Somehow, they overrode the security 
			lock on the door to gain access.

					SISKO
			So what did they do... bring in a 
			portable transporter and beam the 
			surveillance equipment into the 
			bulkhead?

					ODO
			That was my first thought.  Then I 
			realized a portable transporter is a 
			rather large and bulky piece of 
			equipment to be carrying around the 
			halls.

					SISKO
			That's true.

	Odo moves to the replicator.

					ODO
			So then I began thinking about the 
			replicator.

	Odo opens a small panel on the wall near the replicator, 
	revealing a maze of crossed circuitry and equipment that 
	does not look like it belongs there.  Sisko peers at it.

					SISKO
			They realigned the matter-energy

			Turning it into a small transporter.  
			A very sophisticated, very

					SISKO
			Now we know how they did it... the

					ODO
			I think I have an answer to that, as

	He points to a piece of equipment in the panel.

					ODO
				(continuing)
			This device is manufactured on Davlos 
			Three... a planet on the Klingon

			In fact, Davlos does over ninety 
			percent of its trade with the Klingon

	Sisko takes this in.

			That's still pretty slim evidence to 
			make an arrest...

	Odo begins warming to his subject -- he's the consummate 
	detective here, laying out all the clues he's so painstakingly 
	assembled.

					ODO
			Yes, it was.  But then I contacted a 
			friend of mine at Starfleet 
			Intelligence who used to be assigned 
			to the Federation Embassy on the 
			Klingon Homeworld.  He put me in 
			contact with a former Klingon 
			operative who is out of favor with 
			the current administration.  This 
			former operative sent me a series of 
			reports that --

					SISKO
				(who's had enough of 
				this)
			Odo... cut to the chase.

					ODO
			The three Klingons now on the station 
			are part of a covert strike force 
			that reports directly to the Klingon 
			High Council.

					SISKO
			Why didn't you just say so?

52   CONTINUED:	(2)

					ODO
			Sometimes I have to remind you just 
			how good I am.

	Sisko smiles and shakes his head... then tries to focus on 
	the task at hand.

					SISKO
			So Gowron sent our three friends 
			here... and they're conducting 
			surveillance on the Romulan 
			delegation.  Why?  Are they here to 
			kill them?

					ODO
			Possibly.  It's also possible that 
			this is simply a routine intelligence- 
			gathering operation.  The high-energy 
			laser that killed O'Brien is simply 
			a booby trap to prevent someone from 
			tampering with the device -- it's 
			not meant for assassination.

					SISKO
			In either case, I think we have enough 
			evidence to at least hold the Klingons 
			for... questioning.  Don't you?

					ODO
			Absolutely.  And I think we can... 
			question them until the Romulan 
			delegation leaves the station.

					SISKO
			Just be careful.

			Commander, there's no... careful way 
			to question a Klingon.

			Remember, don't wait too long before 
			you return.  Your body will be 
			experiencing symptoms of severe 
			radiation poisoning.  If you don't 
			get treatment... it'll definitely 
			kill you.

					O'BRIEN
			I won't forget.

	O'Brien looks at the device for a beat.

					O'BRIEN
				(continuing)
			Julian... there's a message in my 
			quarters for Keiko if...

					BASHIR
			I understand, Miles.  Good luck.

	O'Brien takes a deep breath... then activates the device 
	and he TIMESHIFTS...

									CUT TO:

69   INT. O'BRIEN'S QUARTERS (OPTICAL)

	Past O'Brien collapses onto the floor in his quarters.  The 
	lights are OUT and the room is dark.  Past O'Brien is in 
	pain... the radiation poisoning is affecting him already.  
	With a great deal of effort, he struggles to his knees and 
	crawls toward a computer panel.

					PAST O'BRIEN
				(off monitor)
			Zero two hundred.  That's three and 
			half hours into the future.

	He struggles to his feet and moves to the figure asleep in 
	bed.

					PAST O'BRIEN
			Wake up... Miles, get up!

	Future O'Brien turns over in bed with a start and tries to 
	focus on what's going on.

            DEEP SPACE: "Visionary" - 01/03/95 - ACT FIVE           51.

69   CONTINUED:

					FUTURE O'BRIEN
			What... ?  Computer, lights.


	The lights come ON, and Future O'Brien looks at his past 
	self with weariness -- he's had enough of this time jumping 
	business.

					FUTURE O'BRIEN
				(continuing)
			Not you again.  What is it now?

					PAST O'BRIEN
				(difficult)
			Listen to me... I've jumped ahead 
			and seen your future -- don't ask me 
			how, it'll take too long to explain.
				(catches his breath)
			There's going to be a disaster... DS 
			Nine will be destroyed.

	Future O'Brien sits bolt upright at that.

					FUTURE O'BRIEN
			Destroyed?  How?

					PAST O'BRIEN
			I don't know.  That's why I'm here... 
			I have to find out what's going to 
			happen... and then travel back... 
			into the past and prevent it.

	Future O'Brien nods, then takes a closer look at the obviously 
	ill Past O'Brien.

					FUTURE O'BRIEN
			You look pretty bad.

					PAST O'BRIEN
			It's the... radiation.

					FUTURE O'BRIEN
			But if you feel bad... and you're my 
			past self... shouldn't I be feeling 
			bad too... ?

	They both frown at this confusing notion.

			FUTURE O'BRIEN				PAST O'BRIEN
		(simultaneously)				(simultaneously)
	I hate temporal mechanics.		I hate temporal mechanics.

	They exchange a look, then Past O'Brien tries to focus on 
	the task at hand.

					PAST O'BRIEN
			Let's get to Ops and see what's going 
			on.
				(beat)
			Help me up.

	Future O'Brien helps his past self to his feet.  Future 
	O'Brien looks at him with concern.  Past O'Brien is not 
	looking very well.

					FUTURE O'BRIEN
			Are you going to make it?

					PAST O'BRIEN
			I have to.  Let's go.

	The two men rush out the door.

70   INT. OPS (OPTICAL)

	Dax and Kira are on duty, when the two O'Briens rush into 
	the room.  Everyone stares at them in shock.

					PAST O'BRIEN
				(difficult)
			Run a sensor sweep of the entire 
			station... look for anything that 
			might indicate --

	Suddenly the entire station is ROCKED and a muffled explosion 
	is heard.  The station goes to RED ALERT.

					KIRA
			Report!

					DAX
				(off console)
			A Romulan warbird just decloaked off 
			Lower Pylon Two.  They've taken out 
			our shield generators.

	Kira looks up at the viewscreen.

71   ANGLE ON VIEWSCREEN (OPTICAL)

	Which shows a WARBIRD firing on the station.

72   RESUME SCENE (OPTICAL)

					KIRA
			Lock phasers and return fire.

	Dax works.  The station is ROCKED again.  The LIGHTS flicker.  
	Past O'Brien falls to the deck as Future O'Brien moves to a 
	nearby console.

					FUTURE O'BRIEN
				(off console)
			They've hit the fusion reactor.  
			Main power's out... defense systems 
			are off-line...

	Another JOLT.  Kira rushes to another console.

					KIRA
				(to Dax)
			Try to re-route phasers thru the 
			emergency power couplings!

	Future O'Brien turns away from his console and moves back to 
	Past O'Brien who is groggy and on the verge of 
	unconsciousness.  The radiation sickness is killing him.

         DEEP SPACE: "Visionary" - REV. 01/05/95 - ACT FIVE         53.

72   CONTINUED:

					FUTURE O'BRIEN
			You've got your answer.  The quantum 
			singularity that's been orbiting the 
			station.  It's the Romulans.

	Past O'Brien is having trouble focusing.  Future O'Brien 
	leans closer to him.

					FUTURE O'BRIEN
				(urgent)
			Are you listening?  The Romulans use 
			a confined singularity to power their 
			warp core.  That's what we've been 
			detecting -- that's the cause of the 
			time shifts.

	Another JOLT.

					FUTURE O'BRIEN
				(continuing)
			Now go back and tell them to put the 
			shields up and stand by for an attack.

	Past O'Brien is fading fast.  He tries to focus on Future 
	O'Brien's face as Sisko ENTERS in the b.g.

					SISKO
			We've got three blocked corridors in 
			the Habitat Ring.  Send medical teams 
			to Levels Two and Three.

					KIRA
			I still can't get weapon systems 
			back on-line, Commander.  We're 
			defenseless.

					SISKO
			Have you tried hailing the Romulans?

					DAX
			We've tried.  There's no answer.

	A difficult beat as Sisko makes the choice.

					SISKO
			Evacuate the station.

            DEEP SPACE: "Visionary" - 01/03/95 - ACT FIVE           54.

73   ANGLE ON THE TWO O'BRIENS (OPTICAL)

					FUTURE O'BRIEN
			Miles, listen -- you've got to go 
			back and warn them.

					O'BRIEN
			No... I'll never make it through 
			another shift... it's the radiation 
			poisoning...

	He takes the device off his arm and hands it to his future 
	self.

					PAST O'BRIEN
			You go... just activate it... it's 
			already set for the return trip...

					FUTURE O'BRIEN
			Me... I don't belong there.

					PAST O'BRIEN
			You're me... I'm you... it doesn't 
			matter.  Just go... go!

	The station is ROCKED again.  A console EXPLODES nearby.  
	Future O'Brien clamps the device onto his arm.  There's a 
	quick moment as the two men exchange a look, then Future 
	O'Brien activates the device.  He TIMESHIFTS --

									CUT TO:

74   INT. INFIRMARY

	Where Bashir suddenly reacts in shock to the sight of O'Brien 
	in his bathrobe standing in the room wearing the device.

					BASHIR
			Chief... what happened?

					FUTURE O'BRIEN
			It worked.
				(to com)
			O'Brien to Sisko.

	Sisko, Dax, Kira at stations.

75   CONTINUED:

					FUTURE O'BRIEN
			I've been to the future, Commander.  
			The quantum singularity off the 
			station is actually in the warp core 
			of a cloaked Romulan warbird.  They're 
			going to decloak and fire on us in a 
			matter of hours.

					SISKO
			Understood, Chief.
				(to Kira)
			Raise shields.  Stand by weapons 
			systems.
				(to Dax)
			Dax, see if you can pinpoint the 
			exact location of the Romulan ship.

	Dax and Kira go to work...

76   INT. INFIRMARY

	As before.  Bashir is finishing a scan of O'Brien.

					BASHIR
			I don't understand.  Your body should 
			be flooded with delta series 
			radiation... but there's only a very 
			slight amount in your tissues.  Your 
			metabolic readings are different... 
			what happened?

					FUTURE O'BRIEN
			There's been a... change.

	Future O'Brien frowns to himself for a moment, mulling over 
	exactly what has taken place...

									CUT TO:

77   INT. WARDROOM

	Ruwon and Karina are interrogating Quark, who is not happy 
	to be sitting in the hot seat.

			I really don't have anything else to

            DEEP SPACE: "Visionary" - 01/03/95 - ACT FIVE          55A.

77   CONTINUED:

			I think you're lying, Quark.

					QUARK
			About what part?

         DEEP SPACE: "Visionary" - REV. 01/06/95 - ACT FIVE         56.

77   CONTINUED:	(2)

					RUWON
			All of it.

					QUARK
				(trying to make a 
				little joke)
			Well, at least I'm consistent!

	The Romulans apparently have no sense of humor.  Quark withers 
	slightly under their relentless stares.  Sisko, Kira, Odo, 
	and Two N.D. Security Guards ENTER.

					SISKO
			Quark, you can leave.

	Quark jumps at the chance.

					QUARK
			Thank you!

	He EXITS.  Sisko turns to the two Romulans.

					SISKO
			I know you have a cloaked warbird 
			orbiting the station.  And I know 
			you're planning an attack.

	The Romulans play it cool and betray no reaction.

					SISKO
				(continuing)
			At first, I couldn't understand why.  
			Then I remembered what you said about 
			the Dominion... how they were the 
			"greatest threat to the Alpha Quadrant 
			in the last century."  If you really 
			believed that, then the only way you 
			could ever be truly safe from the 
			Dominion would be to collapse the 
			Wormhole.

					KIRA
			But you knew we wouldn't just sit by 
			and watch while you did it... so you 
			had to destroy the station, as well.  
			That way, there would be no witnesses.

					ODO
			Everyone would assume that Deep Space 
			Nine was destroyed by what appeared 
			to be "the accidental collapse of 
			the Wormhole."

            DEEP SPACE: "Visionary" - 01/03/95 - ACT FIVE          56A.

77   CONTINUED:	(3)

	Ruwon and Karina study Sisko for a long moment.

					KARINA
			An interesting... theory, Commander.  
			But that's all it is... a theory.

            DEEP SPACE: "Visionary" - 01/03/95 - ACT FIVE           57.

77   CONTINUED:	(4)

					SISKO
			That's right.  But I'll tell you 
			what's not a theory.  We've tracked 
			the tetrion emissions back to your 
			warbird... and I have about fifty 
			photon torpedoes locked on to it 
			right now.

	Ruwon and Karina exchange a look.

					RUWON
			I think it's time we left.

					SISKO
			I couldn't agree more.
				(to Odo)
			Constable, please escort our... guests 
			to the nearest transporter room.

	Odo nods and gestures to the door.

					ODO
			If you'll come with me...

	A beat, then Ruwon and Karina EXIT...

79   INT. QUARK'S

	Bashir and O'Brien are playing darts.

					BASHIR
			So you're saying you remember playing

	Bashir throws a dart.

					O'BRIEN
			Right.

	Bashir thinks about this.

					BASHIR
			So tell me what I'm going to hit.

80   ANGLE ON DART BOARD

	as the dart hits the outer ring -- twenty.

81   RESUME O'BRIEN AND BASHIR

	Bashir reacts.

					BASHIR
			That's remarkable.

					O'BRIEN
			It's also a little disturbing.  I 
			have this nagging feeling that I 
			don't really belong here... that 
			this isn't really my life.
				(beat)
			Maybe this life belongs to that other 
			Miles O'Brien...

					BASHIR
			Chief... whether you're in the past 
			or in the present, you are Miles 
			O'Brien.  The only difference is, 
			you have a few memories the other 
			one didn't have.

	O'Brien takes a beat.

					O'BRIEN
			Well, I think I'm going to go to 
			bed.  I'm still kind of tired.

					BASHIR
			That sounds like a good idea.

	As Bashir and O'Brien head for the door, O'Brien pauses by 
	Quark, who is leaning on the bar.

					O'BRIEN
			Quark...
				(beat)
			Dabo.

	Quark gives him a puzzled look.  Suddenly from off camera we 
	hear a woman's voice:

					WOMAN'S VOICE
			Dabo!

            DEEP SPACE: "Visionary" - 01/03/95 - ACT FIVE           59.

	The crowd cheers as the gambler rakes in his winnings.  
	Quark reacts in shock.  But when he turns back O'Brien and 
	Bashir have already left.

					QUARK
			Chief, wait!  Chief...

	OFF Quark's stricken look...
