11A  INT. OPS

	Close on a tense WORF, who's staring in frustration at 
	a monitor.

					WORF
			Where are they? They should've 
			been back hours ago.

	O'BRIEN looks just as worried as Worf. Everyone in 
	Ops, including Major KIRA, is on edge. There's a war 
	going on and their commanding officer is somewhere in 
	the middle of it.

					O'BRIEN 
			Maybe the meeting with Starfleet 
			Command took longer than they 
			thought it would.

					KIRA
			Then why haven't Sisko or Dax 
			contacted us?

					O'BRIEN
			The whole area they're traveling 
			through is crawling with Klingon 
			ships. The second they used their 
			subspace transmitters, they'd 
			become a target.

	Worf is angry with himself and the situation.

					WORF
			I never should've let them leave 
			in a runabout. I should've 
			insisted they take the Defiant.

					KIRA
			You did. But the captain's orders 
			were clear.

      DEEP SPACE NINE: "Apocalypse... " - REV. 07/19/96 - TEASER      2.

11A  CONTINUED:

					KIRA (Cont'd)
			As long as we're at war with the 
			Klingons, we need the Defiant to 
			help protect the station.

					O'BRIEN
			All I know is that I'd hate to be 
			dodging Klingon raiding parties in 
			nothing but a runabout.

	O'Brien's tacit support pushes Worf to take action.

					WORF
			It would take a fleet of Klingon 
			ships to breach the station's 
			defenses. I say we take the 
			Defiant and go looking for the 
			captain.

					O'BRIEN
				(to Kira)
			I'm with Worf.


					KIRA
			I'm glad the two of you are in 
			agreement. But with the captain 
			gone, I'm in charge of the 
			station, and I say we stay.

 					WORF
			You may be in charge of the 
			station, major, but I command the 
			Defiant.

	But Kira's not going to be persuaded.

					KIRA
			Mister Worf, the captain has given 
			us our orders and I intend for us 
			to follow them until he issues new 
			ones.


	But O'Brien has spotted something on one of his 
	consoles.

					O'BRIEN 
			Hold on a minute. I'm reading a 
			warp signature approaching the 
			station.

	That immediately gets Kira and Worf's attention. They 
	check their own panels.

						WORF
			It's the Rio Grande.

					KIRA
			On screen.

11B  NEW ANGLE (OPTICAL) (STOCK)

	A Runabout approaches the station showing signs of 
	damage.


					O'BRIEN 
			Looks like they had a run in with 
			the Klingons. Weapons systems, 
			shields and com system are all 
			pretty shot up.

					KIRA
				(worried)
			Lifesigns?


	O'Brien checks nervously. After a beat...

				O'BRIEN (smiling)
			Two. One human, one Trill.

	They all looked relieved.

					WORF
				(to Kira)
			Permission to welcome the captain 
			back on board.


					KIRA
				(smiles)
			Permission granted.

	Worf and O'Brien EXIT.

	Establishing.

13   INT. OPS


	Sisko and Dax ENTER from the turbolift. They're met by 
	a pregnant MAJOR KIRA.

					

					KIRA
			Glad you made it back in one piece.

					SISKO
			So are we.

      DEEP SPACE NINE: "Apocalypse... " - REV. 07/19/96 - TEASER      5.

13   CONTINUED:

	They start walking toward Sisko's office.

					KIRA
			How was your meeting with 
			Starfleet Command?

					SISKO
			I'm afraid the war's not going 
			well. The Klingons are throwing 
			everything they have at us. 
			Starfleet's been able to slow them 
			down, but that's about all.

13A  INT. CAPTAIN'S OFFICE

	Sisko ENTERS, followed by Dax and Kira.

					KIRA
			It's hard to believe one 
			changeling could cause so much 
			chaos.

					DAX
			He can if he's impersonating the 
			leader of the Klingon Empire.

					KIRA
			So is Starfleet going to do 
			something about "Chancellor 
			Gowron" or not?

					DAX
				(not enthused)
			Oh... they're going to do 
			something.


	Kira looks at Dax and Sisko for more specific 
	information.

					SISKO
			Starfleet's sending an 
			infiltration team into Klingon 
			territory. Their orders are to do 
			whatever it takes to prove 
			Gowron's a Shape-shifter.


	Kira knows that this is probably a suicide mission.

					KIRA
			Tough assignment. Who are they 
			sending?

      DEEP SPACE NINE: "Apocalypse... " - REV. 07/19/96 - TEASER      6.

13A  CONTINUED:

	Sisko waits a beat, then

					SISKO
			Me.

	And as Kira reacts to this dire news, we

									FADE OUT.

14   INT. QUARK'S

	The bar is busy, with a higher percentage of Starfleet 
	and Bajoran militia personnel than usual. The waiters 
	are no longer Ferengi and the Writ of Accountability is 
	still on the wall, but other than that, everything's 
	back to normal. QUARK is in a good mood, rushing 
	around, seeing that no glass is left unfilled.

15   NEW ANGLE

	As Sisko ENTERS, joining Quark at the bar.

					QUARK
				(delighted)
			Captain, you're just in time for 
			Happy Hour.

					SISKO
			Do I look happy, Quark?

					QUARK
			Do you think any of these people 
			looked happy when they walked in 
			here? How could they? There's a 
			war going on. But they come 
			because they know I'll do 
			everything in my power to help 
			them forget their troubles. For 
			a reasonable fee, of course.
				(a beat)
			Now what can I do for you?

					SISKO
			I'm looking for Odo.

	This takes some of the wind out of Quark's sails.

      DEEP SPACE NINE: "Apocalypse... " - REV. 07/19/96 - ACT ONE       

15   CONTINUED:

					QUARK
			We all have our failures, Captain. 
			And he's mine. Every since he 
			lost his shape-shifting abilities,
			I haven't been able to get a smile 
			out of him.

					SISKO
			Where is he?

					QUARK
			I'm telling you, Captain, that's 
			one depressed ex-changeling.
				(gestures toward the 
				stairway)
			He's upstairs at his usual table. 
			Just follow the black cloud.

	Sisko heads for the staircase...

									CUT TO:

16   INT. QUARK'S SECOND LEVEL

	ODO is sitting at a table by himself, staring into a 
	glass of Bajoran Ale, seemingly oblivious to the 
	raucousness around him. He's not drunk or wallowing in 
	bitterness, but there's a palpable aura of defeat to
	him. Sisko joins him.

					SISKO
			Constable.

	Odo holds up a restraining hand.

					ODO
			Listen, Captain. Do you hear it?


	Odo nods toward a glass of Bajoran Ale that sits in 
	front of him. Sisko, not sure what this is all about, 
	sits down and leans closer to the bottle.

					SISKO
			You mean the bubbles?

					ODO
			Soothing, isn't it? You know, 
			before I became a Solid, I never 
			heard that. I didn't have a sense 
			of taste so I never paid much 
			attention to food, or drink. I 
			had no idea how seductive they 
			could be.

     DEEP SPACE NINE: "Apocalypse... " - REV. 07/19/96 - ACT ONE      9.

16   CONTINUED:

	Odo reaches over, grabs the bottle, and refills his 
	glass..

					ODO
			Would you like me to get you a 
			glass?


					SISKO

			I'm on duty.

					ODO
				(simply)
			I'm not.

					SISKO
			I thought you were always on duty.

	But Odo doesn't want to talk about duty.

					ODO
			You know, at first, I found the 
			whole process of ingestion... 
			disgusting. But now that I've 
			gotten used to it, I find eating 
			and drinking to be quite 
			comforting. It's one of the few 
			things you...
				(correcting)
			... we humanoids have control over.

					SISKO
			Not necessarily. There's always 
			the temptation to eat too much... 
			to drink too much...

					ODO
			One has to find something to do 
			with one's time. And for some 
			reason, my work isn't as 
			fulfilling as it used to be.


					SISKO
			I might be able to do something 
			about that. Starfleet has ordered 
			us to try to expose the Gowron 
			changeling. I want you to come 
			with us.

					ODO
			Maybe it would be better for you 
			to take Deputy Yndar. There's 
			nothing I can do that he can't.

     DEEP SPACE NINE: "Apocalypse... " - REV. 07/19/96 - ACT ONE     10.

16   CONTINUED:	(2)

					SISKO
			I don't need Yndar. I need you.					ODO
			What you need is someone who can 
			turn into Gowron's pet targ. And 
			I can't do that anymore.

					SISKO
			What I need is my chief of 
			security.
				(end of discussion)
			There's a staff meeting at sixteen 
			hundred hours. I expect you to be 
			there.


	Sisko gets up and EXITS.

17   CLOSE ON ODO 

	As he sits there, watching Sisko leave, then turns his 
	attention back to the bubbles in his ale.

18   INT. WARDROOM

	Sisko, Kira, Dax, O'Brien, Worf, BASHIR and Odo are 
	gathered around the briefing table.

					SISKO
			According to Starfleet 
			intelligence, Chancellor Gowron 
			has relocated Klingon military 
			headquarters to Ty'Gokor.

					WORF
			That will make our job more 
			difficult. Ty'Gokor is located in 
			an asteroid field deep in Klingon 
			Space. It is probably the most 
			heavily fortified installation in 
			the Empire.

					SISKO
				(agreeing)
			There're at least thirty warships 
			stationed there at any given time 
			and the entire asteroid field is 
			protected by a tachyon detection 
			grid.

      DEEP SPACE NINE: "Apocalypse... " - REV. 07/19/96 - ACT ONE       

18   CONTINUED:

					O'BRIEN
			Which means there's no way to get 
			a cloaked ship within transporter 
			range.

					WORF
			Even if we do find a way inside, 
			getting close to Gowron will not 
			be easy. He is guarded around the 
			clock by his personal security 
			force, the Yan-Isleth.

					DAX
				(translating)
			The Brotherhood of the Sword.


					KIRA
			Look, I don't want to sound 
			negative, but even if you get to 
			Gowron, how can you prove to the 
			Klingons he's a changeling?

					ODO
			I doubt he'll stand still and let 
			us take a blood sample.

	Bashir nods. He shares their concern.

					BASHIR
			The Klingons are obsessive about 
			blood screenings. If he's lasted 
			this long, the changeling 
			impersonating Gowron must've 
			already found a way around them.

					WORF
			There is one solution. We could 
			kill him.

					O'BRIEN
			Dead changelings do revert back to 
			their gelatinous state.

					SISKO
			Our orders are to expose Gowron, 
			not assassinate him. Which is why 
			Starfleet has given us these.

19   NEW ANGLE

	Sisko indicates to four small emitters and a handheld 
	activator set up at the table. The senior staff looks 
	at the devices in curiosity.


     DEEP SPACE NINE: "Apocalypse... " - REV. 07/19/96 - ACT ONE     12.

19   CONTINUED:

					BASHIR
			Very impressive.
				(speaking for everyone)
			What are they?

19A NEW ANGLE (OPTICAL)

	Dax activates the monitor, which displays a schematic 
	of the four emitters putting out waves of energy.

					DAX
			They're modified polaron emitters.


					SISKO
			Starfleet Science thinks that 
			exposure to polaron radiation will 
			have a destabilizing effect on 
			changeling physiology.

					ODO
			In other words, if you use these 
			on Gowron, and he is one of my 
			people, he won't be able to retain 
			his humanoid shape.

					SISKO
			That's the theory.

					DAX
			The problem is, for it to work 
			properly, you have to activate all 
			four emitters at once.

					O'BRIEN
			I hate prototypes.

					DAX
			Plus, too much polaron radiaton 
			can be fatal. Which means we can 
			only expose a person once. Any 
			more than that and, changeling or 
			not, they'll die of radiation 
			poisoning.

	Dax deactivates the monitor.

					SISKO
			The plan is to smuggle these into 
			Ty'Gokor. Once they're set up, 
			they can cover about twelve 
			thousand cubic meters.


	Which leaves a lot of unanswered questions as far as 
	O'Brien's concerned.

     DEEP SPACE NINE: "Apocalypse... " - REV. 07/19/96 - ACT ONE    12A.

19A  CONTINUED:	(2)

					O'BRIEN 
			So let me get this straight. All 
			we have to do is get past an enemy 
			fleet, avoid a tachyon detection 
			grid, beam into the middle of 
			Klingon headquarters and avoid 
			the Brotherhood of the Sword long 
			enough to set these things up and 
			activate them in front of Gowron.

					WORF
			If we succeed, there will be many 
			songs sung in our honor.

     DEEP SPACE NINE: "Apocalypse... " - REV. 07/19/96 - ACT ONE     13.

19A  CONTINUED:	(3)

					O'BRIEN 
			I just hope we're around to hear 
			them.

					KIRA
			The first problem is how to get 
			you safely to Ty'Gokor.

					SISKO
			That's one I think I can solve.

	The staff reacts to Sisko, wondering what he has up his 
	sleeve.

	GUL DUKAT warmly embraces his daughter, ZIYAL. Dukat

	clothing and equipment.

					DUKAT

					ZIYAL
			It's so good to see you, Father.

					DUKAT
			Major, I must say, I'm shocked. 
			You used my daughter to lure me

					KIRA
			It might not be as hopeless as you

			How can Sisko be so deluded to

	Sisko ENTERS to find Worf (whose appearance has been 
	somewhat altered as in "SONS OF MOGH"), and faux 
	Klingons Odo and O'Brien waiting for him along with 
	Dukat. DAMAR, Dukat's former executive officer, is 
	seated at the helm.

					SISKO
				(to Worf)
			I see we're all here.

					WORF
				(nods)
			The ship is ready for departure.


					SISKO
				(to Dukat)
			At your convenience, Gul Dukat.

	But Dukat doesn't rush to give the order. He's too 
	busy happily gazing at Sisko, Odo and O'Brien, who are
	all vaguely uncomfortable in their Klingon garb.

					DUKAT
			Captain, I insist that we make a 
			holographic record of the four of 
			you. Consider it payment in full 
			for the use of my vessel.

					O'BRIEN
			Maybe after the mission.

					DAMAR
			After the mission you'll all be 
			dead.

					DUKAT
				(scolding)
			Damar. Let's not spoil this 
			special moment with predictions of 
			doom. Even you have to appreciate 
			the audacity of Captain Sisko's 
			plan.

     DEEP SPACE NINE: "Apocalypse... " - REV. 07/19/96 - ACT TWO     20.

30   CONTINUED:

					DAMAR
			Personally, I think we'd be better 
			off launching an orbital assault 
			on Gowron's Command Center. A 
			full spread of photon torpedoes 
			would take care of him, the 
			Klingon High Command and everyone 
			else within a few hundred 
			kilometers.

	Odo looks at him with distaste.

					ODO
			You should ask Dukat for some 
			shore leave. I think you've been 
			in space too long.


					DAMAR
			Why? Because I'm willing to spill 
			a little Klingon blood to get the 
			job done?

					O'BRIEN
			Shelling Ty'Gokor won't get the 
			job done. You'd be lucky to 
			launch one torpedo before they 
			shot you down. And even a dozen 
			wouldn't penetrate the shielding 
			around the command center.

					SISKO
				(cutting off the debate)
			Thank you for the input, Mister 
			Damar, but we'll stick to our 
			original plan.
				(to Dukat)
			Are you making any progress on our 
			Klingon identity files?

					DUKAT
			Don't worry, Captain, by the time 
			we get to Ty'Gokor, we'll have 
			something suitably impressive to 
			plant in their central computer

					WORF
			Our names must be added to the

					SISKO
			They'll be inducting new members

	Dukat is suitably impressed.

					DUKAT
			That should make for an

					SISKO
			I certainly hope so.

	Kira takes the PADD.

					KIRA
			Anything interesting?

					BASHIR 
			Lieutenant Vilix'pran is budding

					KIRA
			You're kidding. How many will 
			this make?

					BASHIR 
			Let's see, he had two from the 
			last litter, and four before that. 
			Could be anywhere from eight to 
			eighteen.

					KIRA
			He'll need bigger quarters again.

					BASHIR 
			He said the request will be on

					KIRA
				(shaking her head)
			Eighteen. I just hope I can 
			survive one.

					BASHIR 
			You're doing great.

			You're positively glowing.

					KIRA
			Really?

					BASHIR 
			I think so. But then, I don't 
			suppose my opinion counts.

					KIRA
			It counts. But don't forget, 
			this...
				(indicates her stomach)
			... is still your fault.

					BASHIR 
			My fault?

					KIRA
			You performed the transfer from 
			Keiko to me.

					BASHIR
			After you volunteered.

	This is a playful argument, one they've had several times.

					KIRA
			After you put the idea in my head.

					BASHIR 
			After you flew the runabout into 
			the asteroid field.

					KIRA
			After you insisted we check on 
			those anomalous bio-scans.

					BASHIR
				(defensive)
			That was Keiko.

	Kira keeps arguing, but knows she can't.

					KIRA
			That's right. It was. But I'd

32   CONTINUED:	(2)

					BASHIR
			Whatever makes you happy. I never 
			argue with my patients... or my 
			commanding officer.

	Which brings their minds back to business. There's an 
	awkward beat as they both think about Sisko and the 
	others.

					BASHIR 
			You think they'll make it?

					KIRA
			They'll make it.
				(trying to lighten 
				things up)
			The question is, will you be able 
			to give them their old faces back?

	Kira smiles, but we can tell she's still concerned and 
	so is Bashir.

33   INT. DUKAT'S BIRD OF PREY - BACK ROOM

	Worf stands facing Sisko, Odo and O'Brien, who are 
	lined up like soldiers waiting for inspection. Worf looks at Odo.


					WORF
			Let's start with you.

	Odo steps forward and stands in front of Worf. Worf 
	looks at him impatiently.

					WORF
			I'm waiting.

					ODO
			I don't understand. What 
			exactly...

					WORF
				(interrupting)
			I am not interested in excuses. 
			Are you a Klingon warrior or an 
			Alverian dung beetle?

	Odo shakes his head in annoyance, trying to check his 
	temper.

     DEEP SPACE NINE: "Apocalypse... " - REV. 07/19/96 - ACT TWO     24.

33   CONTINUED:

					ODO

			I really don't see the point...

					WORF

			Don't look away from me. I called 
			you a dung beetle.

					ODO
			I heard you.

					WORF
			And what is your response?

					ODO
				(sarcastic)
			You should have your eyes checked.


	O'Brien chokes back a laugh. Worf glares at O'Brien.

					WORF
			This is not going to work. It is 
			not enough to look like a Klingon, 
			one must act like one.
				(turns to Sisko)
			Perhaps it would be better if I 
			went by my...

	To everyone's surprise, Sisko backhands Worf across the 
	face.

					SISKO
				(with Klingon anger)
			Are you questioning the validity 
			of my plan?

	Whatever anger crosses Worf's face is almost 
	immediately replaced by a look of respect.

					WORF
			Very convincing, Captain. But was 
			it your intention to challenge me 
			to a battle to the death?

	Sisko looks surprised.

					SISKO
			Not at all.


					WORF
			Then next time do not strike me 
			with the back of your hand. Use 
			your fist.

     DEEP SPACE NINE: "Apocalypse... " - REV. 07/19/96 - ACT TWO     25.

33   CONTINUED:	(2)

					O'BRIEN
			This is more complicated than I 
			thought.

	Worf turns to O'Brien.

					WORF
			You should think twice before 
			insulting a Klingon like that.

					O'BRIEN
				(defensive)
			What did I do?

					WORF
			Look at you. You stand so far 
			away from me. You speak so 
			quietly. Are you afraid of me... 
			or disgusted by my presence?

	Sisko gets into O'Brien's face.

					SISKO
			Klingon warriors speak to each 
			other proudly. They don't 
			whisper. or keep their distance.

					0'BRIEN
				(right back at him)
			Sorry!
				(to Worf)
			I'll do better next time.

					WORF
				(smiles)
			Keep practicing.

	O'Brien smiles. But throughout the above, no one is 
	paying much attention to Odo and he uses the 
	opportunity to walk away. Sisko sees this and follows, 
	signaling everyone else that he'll take care of it..

33A  INT. DUKAT'S BIRD OF PREY - ANOTHER ROOM

	This is essentially the same type of room as the last 
	one. Odo ENTERS with Sisko right on his heels.

					SISKO
			Constable...

	Odo knows what Sisko's going to say and he doesn't want 
	to hear it.

     DEEP SPACE NINE: "Apocalypse... " - REV. 07/19/96 - ACT TWO    25A.

33A  CONTINUED:

					ODO
				(interrupting)
			Captain, I have no business being 
			on this mission. I'm not a very 
			convincing Klingon.

					SISKO
			Then you'd better work on becoming 
			one. Because like it or not, you 
			are on this mission.

					ODO
			I'd hate to be the reason it 
			fails.

					SISKO
			Let me worry about that.
				(a beat)
			Odo, I know this has been a 
			difficult time for you. That you 
			never would've chosen to become a 
			Solid. But what's done is done. 
			Brooding isn't going to change 
			anything. And shirking your 
			responsibilities isn't going to 
			make you feel better about 
			yourself.

	There's a beat as Odo thinks it over.

					ODO
			No, I don't suppose it will.

					SISKO
			Then I suggest you get back in 
			there and do your job.

	But before they can move, a klaxon sounds the Klingon 
	equivalent of a Red Alert. Sisko and Odo react, then 
	move into...


34   INT. DUKAT'S BIRD OF PREY - BRIDGE (OPTICAL)

	Sisko and Odo arrive just as Worf and O'Brien also 
	ENTER. Dukat is in the Commander's Chair, Damar at the 
	helm. There's a Klingon bird of prey on the 
	viewscreen.

					SISKO
			What's going on, Dukat?

			We're being hailed by another bird 
			of prey.

					ODO
			What are you doing about it?


					DUKAT
			We're hailing them back. I 
			wouldn't worry. This happens all 
			the time.

					DAMAR
			Sir, they're requesting visual 
			contact.


					DUKAT
			By all means.

	Damar operates his controls. Dukat turns to Sisko.

					DUKAT
			It's a shame you can't see the 
			holo-image I'm projecting over the 
			comm system. I make quite an 
			imposing Klingon.

	Damar looks up from his controls, troubled.

34   CONTINUED:	(2)

					DAMAR
			Sir, the holofilter's not working.

					DUKAT
			What do you mean it's not working?

	O'Brien immediately moves to Damar's station.

					O'BRIEN
			Let me take a look at it.

	O'Brien pulls off a panel from Damar's console and goes 
	to work.

					DAMAR
			They're repeating the request.

					O'BRIEN
			The optronic relays are fused.

					ODO
				(to Sisko)
			Maybe we should have Worf speak to
			them.

					WORF
			I might be able to convince them
			that...

					DUKAT
				(cuts him off)
			I have a better idea.

	Dukat goes to the command console and punches a 
	control.

35   NEW ANGLE (OPTICAL)

	On the viewscreen, we can see a full spread of photon

					DUKAT
			It was either that or trust in

	This is a vast, vaulted church-like chamber with

	hall, holy shrine and banqueting chamber.

	The center of the room is dominated by a large platform 
	containing a brazier burning an eternal flame. On 
	either side of the brazier are racks on which hang 
	Commendation Medals, sigils of the order of the 
	Bat'leth and other military regalia.

	Right now, the hall is filled with Klingon soldiers,

	Sisko's had enough of this. without warning, he lashes

	The Burly Klingon collapses to the ground.

					SISKO

			How long until Gowron gets here?

					WORF
			Many hours. I suspect he will not 
			appear until tomorrow morning at 
			the earliest.
				(explaining)
			This is an endurance test as much 
			as a party. It's part of the

	In the background Sisko is still wrestling his Klingon 
	opponent. Sisko's getting the worst of it, but he 
	manages to turn the tables and flings the Klingon 
	Veteran to the ground with a hip throw. The crowd 
	cheers. Sisko joins his crew.

					O'BRIEN
			Not bad.

	Sisko massages his elbow, which he strained during the 
	fight. He's pretty wiped out.

					SISKO
			Captain of the Academy wrestling

	As he notices something on the far side of the chamber.

56   NEW ANGLE

	There's a commotion by the door as two Yan-Isleth clear 
	the way for a Klingon bigwig. It's GENERAL MARTOK, the 
	officer who commanded the Klingon invasion of Cardassia 
	and a personal enemy of Sisko and Worf.

					CROWD
				(wallah)
			Martok. Glory to you. Success! 
			Long live the Empire. Victory is

	Martok strides into the room, enjoying the praise of 
	his fellow warriors.

57   CLOSE ON WORF

	As he recognizes his old enemy.

					WORF
				(sotto voce)
			Sir.

	Sisko turns to Worf and follows his gaze to Martok. 
	Odo and O'Brien follow suit.

					SISKO
			I see him.

58   NEW ANGLE

	As Martok passes other tables, the Klingons stand and 
	toast their military commander.

	Martok and his two Yan-Isleth are headed straight for 
	Sisko and his crew.

					0'BRIEN
			What if he recognizes us?

					ODO
			Then we've come a long way for 
			nothing.

	The tension grows as Martok moves closer and closer. 
	It feels like everyone in the room is standing except 
	for Sisko and the others. Just as Martok walks up to 
	them, Sisko rises to his feet and lets out a hearty...

					SISKO
			Q'apla!

	Odo, Worf, and O'Brien follow Sisko's lead.

					ODO, WORF, AND O'BRIEN
			Martok, Q'apla!

	Martok glances at the five "Klingons" without any sign 
	of recognition.

					MARTOK
				(nonchalant)
			Q'apla.

	Martok walks away.

59   CLOSE ON SISKO, WORF, ODO, AND O'BRIEN

	Everyone looks at each other for a beat, all feeling 
	the same thing. They've just come about as close to 
	disaster as they ever want to get. (They all know 
	they've got to get the emitters ready fast.) In the 
	background, we see Martok stopping at the wine drum.

					WORF
			If Martok is here, Gowron won't be

			Let's get it done.

	The group disperses. O'Brien, Odo, and Worf are headed

	Who must shove his way between two Klingon warriors in

64   CLOSE ON SISKO

	Who maintains an air of confidence as he slips nimbly 
	by a boisterous Klingon and reaches the central podium. 
	He eyes the podium, focussing on the base of the 
	burning brazier, which he's already determined is the 
	best place to set up his emitter.

	Sisko reaches into his pouch for the emitter, then

			Don't I know you?

69   CLOSE ON SISKO

	As he reacts to O'Brien's encounter. He glances across

71   CLOSE ON O'BRIEN AND MARTOK

	As O'Brien recovers from his surprise.

					O'BRIEN
			I... I would be honored to think

					MARTOK
			I know we have met.

					O'BRIEN
			I am Pahash of the House of

	Martok looks at O'Brien closely.

					MARTOK
			Your name is not familiar to me. 
			But there is something about 
			you...

					O'BRIEN
				(covering)
			Perhaps we met on the battlefield. 
			My regiment fought at Mempa.

					MARTOK
			Mempa. Many noble deeds were done

					O'BRIEN
			And yours have become legend.


	Martok studies O'Brien again.

			After the ceremony would you honor

	He looks at O'Brien one more time.

					MARTOK
			It is a very familiar face.

	Martok walks away, and O'Brien breathes a sigh of

72   NEW ANGLE

	O'Brien looks over at Sisko, who also looks relieved.

	about to let it go...

76   NEW ANGLE

	The Drunken Klingon who was at the wine vat staggers 
	out from behind the statue, walking blindly into Odo.

					DRUNKEN KLINGON
				(in Klingon)
			Where's Gowron?

	But, by bumping into Odo, the Drunken Klingon has 
	forced Odo to let go of the emitter before it's 
	properly placed. Odo looks up at the device, just in 
	time to see it topple off the statue and fall to the 
	floor.

78   CLOSE ON THE TOWERING KLINGON

	As he looks down at the emitter, a puzzled look on his

81   INT. HALL OF WARRIORS

	Close on Odo as he looks at the Towering Klingon who 
	holds his emitter. Odo's still tangled up with the 
	Drunken Klingon, and immediately shoves him away.

					ODO
				(controlled fury)
			Get away from me or you won't live 
			to see Gowron.


	The Drunken Klingon staggers back, not sure why Odo's 
	so angry, but not ready to tangle with him either.

82   FOLLOW ODO

	As he approaches the Towering Klingon, who's showing 
	the device to a nearby friend.

					ODO
				(with authority)
			I'll take that.

	The Towering Klingon looks down at Odo with sneering 
	contempt. He's obviously a scarred veteran, and even 
	worse, he's cold sober.


					TOWERING KLINGON
				(accusatory)
			This looks like some sort of 
			weapon.

	He and his friend stare at Odo with rapidly rising 
	suspicion. Just then, Worf approaches, acting jovially 
	drunk.


					WORF
				(to Odo)
			Kodrak! My brother.

	Worf looks around and pretends to spot the emitter.

					WORF
				(excited)
			You found it.

	Worf goes to reach for the emitter, but the Towering 
	Klingon holds it away from him.

     DEEP SPACE NINE: "Apocalypse... " - REV. 07/19/96 - ACT FOUR    43.

82   CONTINUED:

					TOWERING KLINGON
			Found what?

					WORF
			It's a tinghamut.

					TOWERING KLINGON
			A what?

					WORF
			A Vulcan toy. For children.

	Odo catches on and joins in on the bluff.

					ODO
			The spoils of war. From the raid 
			on Archanis.

					WORF
			If you want one, you'll have to 
			find your own.

	The Towering Klingon doesn't seem comfortable with the 
	thought that he's holding a children's toy. He does 
	not protest when Worf takes it from him.

	Just then, the sound of massive bass drumming fills the 
	air. It's the Klingon equivalent of "Hail to the 
	Chief." The Towering Klingon immediately looks off to 
	the sound of the drums. once he's no longer paying 
	attention to them, Worf hands the emitter to Odo.

					WORF
			Here. Give it to your son.

					ODO
			I'll make sure he gets it.

	They part ways just as the drumming reaches a crescendo 
	and...

83   ANGLE ON THE DOOR

	As GOWRON ENTERS, wearing his cape, and escorted by two 
	Yan-Isleth. The assembled Klingons, now rejuvenated by 
	adrenaline, jump to their feet, cheering and waving

85   EXTREME CLOSE-UP ON SISKO'S EMITTER

	Which has so far remained undiscovered, hidden at the 
	base of the brazier.

86   NEW ANGLE 

	As Gowron takes his place on the platform, where he is 
	met by General Martok.

					MARTOK
			Long live Gowron! Long live the 
			Empire!

	The Klingons CHEER.

87   NEW ANGLE

	As the crowd surges toward the platform, Odo rushes to 
	set up his emitter. He knows everyone is waiting for 
	him. In the background, Gowron raises his hand and the 
	crowd falls silent.

					GOWRON
			Klingon Warriors, I salute you. 
			At least, those of you still on 
			your feet.

	The crowd laughs appreciatively. Behind them, those 
	who could not rise are being dragged from the room.

88   CLOSE ON ODO

	As he approaches his position only to discover a YOUNG 
	KLINGON warrior has climbed the pedestal of the statue 
	to get a better view. Odo can't set up his emitter.

			who have brought us glory, who's 
			deeds of valor will live on in

89   ANGLE ON SISKO

	Who is aware of Odo's predicament, and can do nothing 
	but wait. Gowron continues speaking.

					GOWRON
			Here in this hallowed hall, under 
			the watchful gaze of our greatest 
			heroes, you will receive the 
			highest honor that can be bestowed 
			upon a Klingon. The Order of the 
			Bat'leth.

	The assembled Klingons roar in approval. Martok is 
	handed a PADD and begins to read off the names.

					MARTOK
			Come forward, H'Ta son of Kahmar.

	Responding to the summons, a Klingon Warrior steps 
	forward. Gowron picks up a medallion of the Order, 
	which is a kind of medal hung on a heavy chain, leans 
	over, and places it on the Warrior's neck.

90   ANGLE ON O'BRIEN

	As he looks from Sisko to Odo, aware that their whole 
	plan is slipping through their fingers.

					GOWRON
			Glory to you and your house.

	He gives Gowron a Klingon salute, then steps back. 
	The ceremony continues.

					MARTOK
			Come forward, T'vis, son of Barot.

	Another Klingon moves to receive his medal.

91   CLOSE ON ODO

	Who looks up at the Young Klingon on the pedestal. He 
	knows he can't wait any longer.

					ODO
			This is my place. Step down.

	The Young Klingon looks down at Odo with disdain.

					YOUNG KLINGON
			Find another.

	The Young Klingon looks back up as the ceremony 
	continues.

					GOWRON
				(in the background)
			Glory to you and your house.

	But Odo isn't about to engage in a debate. Without 
	warning, he grabs the leg of the Young Klingon, upends 
	him so he tumbles off the pedestal, and kicks him 
	before he can get up.

					ODO
			That won't be necessary.

92   NEW ANGLE

	Back on the podium, the ceremony goes on.

					MARTOK
			Come forward, Huss, daughter of
			Altrom.

	A female Klingon standing next to Worf steps forward.

93   ANGLE ON SISKO

	Who looks on with approval as Odo begins to activate 
	the final emitter.

					GOWRON (O.S.)
			Glory to you and your house.

	Sisko reaches into his sleeve for the triggering device 
	he used in the briefing, but just then...

101  EXTREME CLOSE UP ON HIS SLEEVE

	He reaches into his sleeve to trigger the emitter, but 
	suddenly...

102  NEW ANGLE

	He is struck from behind by a blow from the butt-end of

106  INT. PRISON CELL

	Sisko, Odo, O'Brien and Worf are locked up in a Klingon 
	prison cell, a thoroughly unpleasant place with no bed, 
	chair or facilities to speak of, just jagged, razor-
	sharp bars and hot and cold running rats. Klingon 
	rats... the worst kind.

	Martok is standing at the cell door, flanked by two 
	Klingon bodyguards. He studies Sisko and the other 
	Federation prisoners.

					MARTOK
			Captain, you don't know how much 
			I've looked forward to killing you 
			in battle. And now your 
			foolishness has cheated me of that 
			pleasure.

					SISKO
				(lightly)
			Sorry to disappoint you.

	Martok turns to the guards.

					MARTOK
			Leave us.

	The guards hesitate.


					MARTOK
			You heard me.


	The Guards EXIT.

107  CLOSE ON MARTOK

	He looks angry, as if grappling with something that he 
	doesn't want to think about. He looks at Sisko accusingly.

					MARTOK
			Don't you understand? You've 
			thrown your lives away for 
			nothing.

     DEEP SPACE NINE: "Apocalypse... " - REV. 07/19/96 - ACT FIVE    50.

107  CONTINUED:

					MARTOK (Cont'd)
				(a beat)
			Or did you really think you could 
			fool us into believing that 
			Chancellor Gowron was a Dominion 
			spy?


					ODO
			"Gowron" is the one who's fooling 
			you. And as long as you follow 
			him, the Empire will be nothing 
			but a pawn of the Founders.

	But Martok explodes with righteous indignation.

					MARTOK
			Where is your proof?

					WORF
			You want proof? Take our polaron 
			emitters and use them on Gowron.

					MARTOK
			Gowron had your equipment destroyed.

					O'BRIEN
			Of course he did. He had to make 
			sure he couldn't be tested.

					MARTOK
				(to Sisko)
			Your mission was a failure, 
			Captain. And for that, you 
			deserve to die.

	Sisko is starting to realize that there's more to 
	Martok's rant than he first thought.

					SISKO
			Would you be happier if we'd 
			succeeded?

	Martok backtracks. He's said more than he wanted to.

					MARTOK
				(insistent)
			I'm a loyal officer of the Empire.

	Sisko realizes what's fueling Martok's anger.

     DEEP SPACE NINE: "Apocalypse... " - REV. 07/19/96 - ACT FIVE    51.

107  CONTINUED:	(2)

					SISKO
				(accusatory)
			You think we're right, don't you? 
			You believe Gowron's a changeling, 
			too.


	Martok slams his fist into the cell door in 
	frustration.

					MARTOK
			That would be treason.

					WORF
			Since when is it treasonous to act 
			in the best interests of the Empire?

	Martok has no answer for that.

					SISKO
			How long have you suspected?

108  CLOSE ON MARTOK

	As he realizes he can't deny his true feelings any longer.

					MARTOK

				(reluctant)
			Months.

	This admission removes a great weight from Martok's 
	shoulders. Now that he's voiced his suspicions, it all 
	comes easier.

					MARTOK
			I have known Gowron a long time. 
			And it is no secret that we have 
			not always agreed on the way he 
			runs the Empire. He is a 
			politician... too eager to 
			compromise...
				(with contempt)
			To talk. Last year, he stopped 
			the attack on Deep Space Nine 
			instead of going to war with the 
			Federation.

	Martok stalks the cell like a caged tiger. He's wanted 
	to say what he's saying for a long time, and now he's 
	energized by his confession.

     DEEP SPACE NINE: "Apocalypse... " - REV. 07/19/96 - ACT FIVE    52.

108  CONTINUED:

					MARTOK
			But then... he changed. Suddenly 
			he was the one calling for war.

					O'BRIEN
			I'd think that would've made you 
			happy.

					MARTOK
			At first, it did. But after the 
			war began, he started ignoring the 
			counsel of his generals, throwing 
			aside all wisdom in his pursuit of 
			victory. Our losses continue to 
			mount, and still he listens to no 
			one.

					ODO
			No one but the Founders.

	Martok considers his options for a long beat, then...

					MARTOK
			There's only one certain way to 
			expose Gowron for what he really 
			is. To prove beyond a shadow 
			of a doubt that he is a changeling.
				(with finality)
			Gowron must die.

	Odo nods. It's a cruel logic, but it's true.

					ODO
			Once he's dead, he will revert to 
			his natural form and eliminate all 
			doubt.

					WORF
				(to Martok)
			You could challenge him to 
			honorable combat.

	Worf nods. He agrees. But Martok shakes his head. 
	He's not as idealistic as Worf.

					MARTOK
			There will be no honorable combat, 
			no formal challenges. I will 
			release you, help you reach the 
			Hall of Warriors, and then you 
			will kill him.

	Everyone reacts to Martok's decision.

	The two guards stand watch at the prison cell entrance.

	stops him.

					MARTOK
				(re: the prisoners)
			The prisoners will come with me

	The HEAD GUARD looks hesitantly at Martok.

					MARTOK
			You heard me. Let them out.


					HEAD GUARD
			General, I have strict orders from 
			Gowron himself. The prisoners are 
			not to leave this cell.

	Martok looks at the Head Guard appraisingly, then 
	appears to relent.

					MARTOK
			I see. Well, we wouldn't want to 
			disobey the Chancellor.

111  NEW ANGLE (OPTICAL)

	Martok turns to go, but then draws his disruptor, spins 
	on his heel and shoots the Head Guard. The Guard is 
	disintegrated.

	The second guard reaches for his weapon, but while his 
	attention is on Martok, Sisko cold-cocks him.

112  INT. TY'GOKOR - ANOTHER CORRIDOR

	Two Klingons stand guard over a side entrance to the 
	Hall of Warriors. They stiffen to attention as Martok 
	strides down the corridor, accompanied by Sisko, and the 
	others, who are now armed and make very convincing 
	Klingon soldiers.

113  CLOSE ON MARTOK

	He doesn't break stride. As he walks up to the guards, 
	pulls out a pair of Klingon knives, and stabs them both 
	simultaneously.

	Sisko and the others immediately pull out Klingon 
	disruptors. Worf takes out his Mek'leth. Sword in one 
	hand, disruptor in the other, he readies himself for 
	battle.

					MARTOK
				(to Worf)
			For the Empire.

	Worf nods. The two Klingons understand the importance 
	of the moment. Martok hits a panel and the door slides 
	open.

					SISKO
			Let's go.

	Sisko leads Worf and O'Brien into the room. Odo's the 
	last in line, but Martok places his disruptor against 
	Odo's chest.

     DEEP SPACE NINE: "Apocalypse... " - REV. 07/19/96 - ACT FIVE    55.

113  CONTINUED:

					MARTOK
			Not you. There's no telling where 
			your loyalties lie.

	And as Odo reacts, we...

									CUT TO:

114  INT. THE HALL OF WARRIORS

	Gowron is standing on the platform. The medals have 
	all been awarded, and the Chancellor's now presiding 
	over the boisterous Klingons celebrating their 
	Commendations.

					GOWRON
				(responding to the audience)
			What? Another toast?

	The crowd cheers.

					GOWRON
				(lifting his glass to 
				one of the statues)
			Then let us salute Rurik the 
			Damned, conqueror of the Zora Fel,
			liberator of Vrax...

	Suddenly there's a commotion, and the sound of 
	struggling behind Gowron. He turns.

115  NEW ANGLE

	Behind him, Worf, Sisko and O'Brien push their way 
	through the crowd. Hearing the commotion, Gowron turns 
	and sees Worf. He looks surprised and angry.

					GOWRON
			What is this?

 					WORF
			It is your death.

	Worf leaps up onto the platform and swings at Gowron 
	with his Mek'leth.

	Gowron dodges aside and grabs his Bat'leth from his 
	swordbearer. Gowron and Worf begin to duel.

     DEEP SPACE NINE: "Apocalypse... " - REV. 07/19/96 - ACT FIVE    56.

116  ANGLE ON THE CROWD

	As a Yan-Isleth guard pulls out his disruptor to shoot 
	Worf.

117  CLOSE ON SISKO (OPTICAL)

	As he shoots the Yan-Isleth before he can fire.

118  NEW ANGLE

	As the assembled Klingons draw their weapons. Sisko 
	and his men prepare for a fight.

119  NEW ANGLE (OPTICAL)

	As Gowron and Worf duel, one of Gowron's bodyguards 
	leaps onto the platform and takes aim at Worf. Gowron 
	steps back and draws his own disruptor.

					GOWRON
			No.

	Gowron shoots the Klingon, sending him flying off the 
	platform. This gets everyone's attention.

					GOWRON
			Lower your weapons. If this 
			traitor wants a fight, I will give 
			him one.

120  CLOSE ON SISKO

	As he looks at Gowron in surprise.

121  ANGLE ON THE CROWD

	As the assembled Klingons slowly lower their weapons.

122  ANGLE ON O'BRIEN

	Who follows suit.

123  CLOSE ON GOWRON

	Who locks eyes with Worf and raises his Bat'leth.

					GOWRON
			You want to kill me, Worf. You're 
			welcome to try.

     DEEP SPACE NINE: "Apocalypse... " - REV. 07/19/96 - ACT FIVE    57.

123  CONTINUED:

	Worf's a little thrown by this. The Gowron 
	Shape-shifter seems to be putting on a pretty good 
	Klingon imitation. Before Worf can decide what to do 
	next, Gowron gives a Klingon battle cry, and launches 
	himself at Worf. The battle is joined.

124  INT. THE CORRIDOR

	Martok glances through the doorway in surprise, 
	reacting the what he sees. He still has the disruptor 
	trained at Odo.

					MARTOK
			What are they doing? Why doesn't 
			Sisko just shoot him?

					ODO
			I have a better question. Why 
			isn't Gowron letting his 
			bodyguards kill Worf?

	Martok doesn't respond, so Odo answers his own 
	question.

					ODO
			I'll tell you why. Klingon honor. 
			A concept you should be very
			familiar with. My people, on the 
			other hand, don't care about 
			honor.
				(a beat)
			How did you put it? "There will 
			be no honorable combat, no formal 
			challenges." Hardly the words of 
			a Klingon.

	Odo looks accusingly at Martok.

					ODO
			Tell me, "General," did Gowron 
			destroy the polaron emitters... or 
			did you?

	And as Martok turns and glares at Odo, we...

									CUT TO:

125  INT. HALL OF WARRIORS

	Worf and Gowron continue to battle. It's a spectacular 
	swordfight between two masters of the blade. But in 
	the end, Worf manages to shatter Gowron's sword with a 
	mighty blow.

     DEEP SPACE NINE: "Apocalypse... " - REV. 07/19/96 - ACT FIVE    58.

125  CONTINUED:

	He follows up with a leg sweep which takes Gowron down 
	the ground.

126  CLOSE ON GOWRON

	As he looks up at Worf, waiting for the death blow.

127  CLOSE ON WORF

	As he raises his sword for the final strike. But 
	suddenly...

					ODO (O.S.)
			Worf, stop!

	It's a strangled cry, and all eyes turn to see...

128  NEW ANGLE (OPTICAL)

	Odo tumbling into the room, wrestling with Martok.

					ODO
			Gowron's not the changeling. It's 
			Martok.

	Realizing he has been exposed, Martok sprouts tentacles 
	of changeling goo from his side and wraps them around
	Odo, trying to strangle the life out of him.

	And as the tentacles tighten around Odo's neck...

	There's a flash of disruptor fire; Martok is blown away 
	from Odo.

129  CLOSE ON SISKO (OPTICAL)

	Who still has his disruptor trained on Martok.

130  ANGLE MARTOK (OPTICAL)

	As he staggers to his feet, more and more of his body 
	shape-shifting into goo. He starts back toward Odo.

131  CLOSE ON SISKO (OPTICAL)

	As he fires.

132  ANGLE ON MARTOK (OPTICAL)

	As he's hit by Sisko's disruptor fire. Several other 
	beams join Sisko's as O'Brien and several other 
	Klingons also fire at the Martok changeling, who 
	explodes in a mass of burning changeling goo.

     DEEP SPACE NINE: "Apocalypse... " - REV. 07/19/96 - ACT FIVE    59.

133  CLOSE ON GOWRON

	Who reacts to the sight of his most trusted advisor 
	turning into a mass of flaming protoplasm.

134  NEW ANGLE

	Sisko lowers his weapon and turns to Odo, who is rising 
	slowly to his feet. Odo looks at Martok's remains.

135  CLOSE ON GOWRON

	He stares at the remains of the changeling who was 
	impersonating his military Chief of Staff.

					SISKO
			Well, it looks like we found our 
			changeling after all.

136  EXT. SPACE - TY'GOKOR (OPTICAL)

	Time cut.

	INT. HALL OF WARRIORS

	Gowron, who has regained his composure, scoops a mug of 
	bloodwine from one of the metal barrels. Sisko, Worf 
	and Odo are standing nearby. Gowron's guards and 
	advisors are all gathered around. The Chancellor's in 
	a good mood, but he makes a point of never looking at 
	or addressing Worf.

					GOWRON
				(summing up)
			So the Founders misled Odo into 
			thinking I was a spy, hoping that 
			you'd eliminate me and pave the 
			way for that... thing imitating 
			Martok to take over the Empire.


					SISKO
			That way, the war between the 
			Federation and the Klingons would 
			continue until both sides were 
			destroyed.

					GOWRON
			Leaving the Alpha Quadrant wide 
			open for a Dominion invasion.

     DEEP SPACE NINE: "Apocalypse... " - REV. 07/19/96 - ACT FIVE    60.

137  CONTINUED:

					ODO
			That seems to have been their 
			plan.

					SISKO
			And we played right into it.


	Gowron slaps Odo on the back.

					GOWRON
			But they sorely underestimated Odo 
			here.

	Odo's not sure how to take that.

					ODO
			Thank you.

					SISKO
			If we really want to strike a blow 
			against the Founders, we have to 
			find a way to end this war.

	Gowron considers Sisko's proposal for a beat, then 
	shakes his head.

					GOWRON
			That may not be possible.

 					WORF
			Why not? You told us that the 
			Martok changeling was the one who 
			pushed for the attack on the 
			Federation.

	Gowron looks at Worf with contempt.

					GOWRON
			True. But if your Klingon blood 
			wasn't so thin you'd know that 
			once battle has begun, there can 
			be no turning back. 
				(to Sisko)
			You want the war to end, then the 
			Federation must allow us to annex 
			Archanis and the other worlds 
			we've seized.

					SISKO
			I wouldn't count on it. 
				(a beat)
			But if the fighting stops and 
			negotiations begin...

     DEEP SPACE NINE: "Apocalypse... " - REV. 07/19/96 - ACT FIVE    61.

137  CONTINUED:	(2)


					GOWRON
				(disdainful)
			Ah, yes. Talk.

					ODO
			That's right. Talk. The last 
			thing the Dominion wants.

	This stops Gowron for a moment.

					GOWRON
			I will call a meeting of the High 
			Council. Advise a temporary cease 
			fire.

					SISKO
			And where Gowron leads, the 
			Council will follow.

	Gowron's not so confident.

					GOWRON
			Perhaps.
				(to Sisko)
			I'll see to it that you're safely 
			delivered back to that space 
			station of yours.					SISKO 
			I'd appreciate that.


					GOWRON
			You have done a great service to 
			the Empire. For that, I thank 
			you.

	Gowron looks thoughtfully at Worf. There's still some 
	animosity between them and they both know it.

					GOWRON
				(restrained)
			As for you... you should've killed 
			me when you had the chance. I 
			promise you won't get another.

	And with that, Gowron EXITS.

     DEEP SPACE NINE: "Apocalypse... " - REV. 07/19/96 - ACT FIVE    62.

138  CLOSE ON WORF

	As he watches the Chancellor leave the room, only too 
	aware that his time of exile is still not over.

139  EXT. SPACE - DEEP SPACE NINE (OPTICAL)

	Re-establishing.

140  INT. INFIRMARY

	Sisko, now restored to his normal appearance, ENTERS 
	from the surgical area, escorted by Bashir. Sisko runs 
	his hand over his forehead.

					BASHIR
			Now that's better, isn't it?

					SISKO
			I don't know. I could do without 
			ridges... but I kind of miss the 
			fangs.

	Sisko turns to Odo, who still looks like a Klingon, and 
	has been waiting for his turn with Bashir.

					SISKO
			That leaves you, Odo.

					ODO
			It's about time. I, for one, 
			won't miss the fangs at all.

					BASHIR
				(not entirely kidding)
			You know, Constable, I could give 
			you any face you want. Bajoran. 
			Human. Trill.

					ODO
			My old face will do nicely, thank 
			you.

	Sisko smiles his approval.

					SISKO
				(to Bashir)
			You heard the man.


					BASHIR
			Whatever you say.

     DEEP SPACE NINE: "Apocalypse... " - REV. 07/19/96 - ACT FIVE    63.

	And as Bashir leads Odo into the Infirmary, we...

									FADE OUT.
