Reality Trip Zine Cover!

The entire AU Zine is available for free >>Here!<< Ao3 Link to all the fics >>Here!<<

Can you identify all the AUs?👀 Answers in image description! I am very honoured to have been chosen for the cover position. The @dpauzine Reality Trip team was awesome to work with and I loved seeing everyone’s work!

ID:

The cover is a two page spread set in Clockwork’s lair, the Long Now. The colour palette is predominantly navy blue, teal, and green with limited yellow accents. The Long Now has a cobblestone floor with the stones radiating out from a central dais on the right side of the page that supports Clockwork’s main viewing portal. In the bottom left corner, half of a large gear protrudes through the floor. A swarm of semi-transparent, light green blob ghosts traverse in a gentle curve across the bottom of the left page. On the right page they are hidden behind clockwork but a few can be seen near the dais’ base.

In front of the viewing portal, Clockwork is reclined in an old-fashioned armchair with his back to the audience, his spectral tail lazily draped across the floor. Holding a TV remote in his outstretched right hand, he looks over his shoulder with a serene, or perhaps even mischievous, grin. His main viewing portal displays the zine title, “Reality Trip”. “A Danny Phantom Zine” appears on the back of his armchair.

Visible beyond Clockwork, and behind his viewer, is a wall of dark gears that vary in size. Behind the gears, small patches of green are visible evoking the ghost zone beyond. The gears take up a majority of the two page spread, arranged roughly in three rows. They are framed by dark blue, crumbling stone columns at the far left edge, slightly left of center, and the far right. The center of each gear displays a different Danny Phantom AU. The AU’s are as follows:

Top row, left to right:

Portal Danny. A stream of ghosts pour out of Danny's chest and mouth. His head is thrown back with solid green eyes. Blue Danny/Phantom starts to look like Dan. Facing right, the top half of Danny’s face is obscured by white, flaming hair. His skin is “blue”, (it is technically teal), he has pointed ears and fangs. Astronaut AU. An astronaut suit posing in front of an American Flag. Mermaid/merman AU. A dark, scaly mer tail twisted over itself with a light fin at the end. Inverse Trio. Tucker is the halfa, Danny is the goth, and Sam is the nerd. The trio is huddled together throwing up peace signs posing for a photo.

Middle row, left to right:

Lab Rat/Dissection Bad End AU. Angst Central. An upward view of Maddie and Jack with tools in hand, seen from the perspective of someone on their dissection table. Wings AU. That phenomenon of people putting wings on characters represented by a disembodied pair of black and white wings floating in a lime green void. Full Ghost. Danny died all the way in the portal accident. His transparent ghost tail is half phased into a patch of freshly dug dirt in front of a headstone, implied to belong to Daniel Fenton. A lone bouquet is laid on his grave. Ghost King. Danny in full royal regalia with the crown of fire hovering over his head and the ring of rage on his hand. The ghost zone and a few floating door behind him. He looks to the side warily mid-action. Hazmat AU. Danny died wearing a big, chunky, OSHA approved, real hazmat suit. He is only visible from chest up with his eyes glowing inside the hood.

Bottom row, left to right:

Ghost Hunger. Two blob ghosts peek out of a BLT sandwich (Blob, Lettuce, Tomato). Corpse AU. Sam, Tucker, and Danny huddled together over a freshly dug pile of dirt in the woods. Danny has a shovel and Sam has a messily rolled up tarp. Clockwork's Apprentice/CW Danny. Danny, facing left, wearing Clockwork’s cloak with the hood up, holding a staff similar to Clockwork’s with a stopwatch at the end. This gear is positioned directly behind, and partially obscured by, Clockwork’s head. Cowboy/Western AU. A blob ghost in a tiny cowboy hat sits on Danny's white cowboy boots. A green lasso rope partially visible at the top right.

Spreading volcanic rock results in less CO2 in the air

According to scientists from Cornell University and the University of California, crushed volcanic rock can be used to remove CO2 from the atmosphere. After a heavy rain shower, the greenhouse gas sinks down after which it adheres to the rock.

When raindrops fall, they take CO2 with them. If the droplets then land on volcanic rock, the CO2 clings to it. It is a process that occurs naturally on Earth, but takes millions of years to capture substantial amounts of CO2. American scientists have now discovered that they can speed up the process considerably by first grinding the volcanic rock into grit and only then spreading it over land.

Enrich agricultural land

The idea of removing CO2 from the air with stone dust is not new[1]. An additional advantage is that it contains types of stone dust that contain many nutrients, which can enrich agricultural land.

This is the first time that scientists focused on an area where it was relatively dry. The researchers spread the volcanic debris over a 2-hectare corn field. The measurement period concerned the winter months of 2021 and 2022. It turned out to be one of the driest periods ever with 41 percent less rain than average.

350,000 cars

That was initially bad news, because rainfall is needed to bring the CO2 down. Still, the scientists were enthusiastic about the experiment. The research showed that 0.15 tons of CO2 was absorbed per hectare. That doesn't seem like much, but if all agricultural land in California were used, this CO2 absorption would be equivalent to a reduction of 350,000 passenger cars per year.

“We see absolute evidence that this process also takes place in the short term,” says[2] Iris Holzer, one of the researchers on the project. “Even the rare rain showers we get in the West can be enough to remove CO2 from the air using rocks.”

Sixteen times the CO2 emissions of the Netherlands

Previous research from the University of Antwerp[3] already showed that strewn and pulverized basalt also bonds with CO2 from the air. The scientists calculated that it should be possible to remove 2.5 billion tons of CO2 from the air every year. That is about sixteen times the emissions that the Netherlands pumped into the atmosphere in 2022.

High cost

However, there are also disadvantages to this method. Distributing, transporting and producing stone dust is a huge operation that involves a lot of money and CO2. Not only must this process be profitable to have a future, sustainable production and transport methods must also be considered. For example, the researchers from Antwerp propose the use of electric drones.

[1] Danish researchers have found a useful use for crumbling rock beneath glaciers. By spreading this fine debris over agricultural fields, CO2 can be captured from the air. The technology can serve as a tool to combat climate change. And it also makes the fields more fertile. https://www.change.inc/agri-food/van-gletsjer-naar-graanveld-co2-opslaan-in-afgebrokkeld-gesteente-40023

[2] Adding crushed volcanic rock to cropland could play a key role in removing carbon from the air. In a field study, scientists at the University of California, Davis, and Cornell University found the technology stored carbon in the soil even during an extreme drought in California. The study was published in the journal Environmental Research Communications. https://www.ucdavis.edu/climate/news/adding-crushed-rock-farmland-pulls-carbon-out-air?_ga=2.198300582.823200022.1698656138-1472931476.1658240840

[3] Antwerp researchers are studying the use of rock dust to remove CO2 from the atmosphere. Silicate rock or rock flour ground into powder has enormous potential to remove CO2 from the air. This is evident from an international study in which the University of Antwerp also participated. The technique, in which rock dust is added to the soil, achieves the best results in areas that were previously considered unsuitable. https://www.vrt.be/vrtnws/nl/2021/07/26/antwerpse-onderzoekers-bestuderen-inzet-steenmeel-om-co2-uit-de/

FADE IN:

1    INT. QUARK'S

BASHIR and QUARK are closely watching DAX at the bar. She is in the middle of performing a magic trick for them. As they watch, she shows them there's nothing in her hands... nothing up her sleeves... then her expression changes to one of puzzlement... she seems to have something caught in her throat... she frowns and struggles for a moment... then produces an EGG from her mouth. She smiles in triumph.

QUARK It's a trick.

BASHIR Of course it's a trick. But do you know how she did it?

QUARK She probably had the egg beamed directly into her mouth from one of the transporters.

DAX Actually, one of my previous hosts used to dabble in sleight of hand.

BASHIR Tobin, by any chance?

DAX That's right.

BASHIR He sounds like the type. Painfully shy, introverted, a certain lack of confidence... just the kind of person who would begin looking for ways to dazzle people with his "magical" abilities.

       DEEP SPACE NINE: "Rejoined" - REV. 08/30/95 - TEASER         2.

1    CONTINUED:

QUARK (still thinking about the trick) She swallowed the egg before she came into the bar. Then she regurgitated it on cue. Quite disgusting, actually.

DAX Wrong again.

SISKO'S COM VOICE Sisko to Dax. I'd like to see you in my office, commander.

DAX (to com) On my way, Benjamin. (to Quark) Don't worry, Quark. I'm sure you'll figure it out eventually.

Dax peers closely at Quark's ear... frowns at something she sees.

DAX (continuing) Hmm... no wonder you can't figure it out.

QUARK (worried) What?

Dax reaches out and pulls a strip of LATINUM out of his ear.

DAX Your head's full of latinum.

She hands him the latinum with a smile and then heads for the door. Bashir stands and applauds.

BASHIR Ladies and gentlemen: The Amazing Jadzia Dax!

Dax gives a mock bow on her way out. Bashir smiles and picks up his drink. Quark is not amused. He pockets the latinum... waits a beat... and then puts a hand to his ear just in case there are any more strips in there...

2    INT. CAPTAIN'S OFFICE

SISKO is waiting as Dax ENTERS. He's serious, a man about to deliver some potentially disturbing news.

SISKO Have a seat.

Dax sits and Sisko moves to sit on the edge of the desk close to her.

SISKO (continuing) A Trill science team is on its way to the station. They're coming to conduct field tests on an experimental technique for creating artificial wormholes.

DAX Sounds interesting.

SISKO It's an important project and I've agreed to let them use the Defiant for their experiments. (beat) But I thought you should know that the leader of the Trill science team... is Doctor Lenara Kahn.

Dax sits back in her chair and we can see that she's caught completely off-guard. She's shocked and can't quite decide exactly how she feels at this moment, but tries to maintain her usual calm.

DAX Kahn? Lenara... Kahn?

SISKO That's right. (gently) You have about three months worth of leave accumulated. Why don't you take some of it? We can get along without you for a while.

DAX (wry) Am I that dispensable around here?

SISKO (joking) We won't even notice you're gone.

Dax smiles a little, but lets out a long breath and makes her decision.

          DEEP SPACE NINE: "Rejoined" - 08/30/95 - TEASER           4.

2    CONTINUED:

DAX No. I'll stay.  I can handle it.

SISKO You sure?

DAX I'm sure. I've never let my past lives interfere with my job and I'm not going to start now. I'll be fine.

SISKO Okay.

DAX But thanks for giving me the option.

SISKO Any time... old man.

Dax smiles and then EXITS.

A TRILL TRANSPORT SHIP is docking at one of the docking ports.

4    INT. AIRLOCK CORRIDOR

Dax is waiting outside the airlock as WORF and KIRA arrive.

DAX They... just finished docking.

Kira and Worf nod and wait for the door to open. Kira notices that Dax seems a little distracted.

KIRA Something wrong?

DAX No.

But before Kira can pursue the matter any further, the airlock doors OPEN and a male Trill scientist in his 50's named PREN steps out.

       DEEP SPACE NINE: "Rejoined" - REV. 08/30/95 - TEASER         5.

4    CONTINUED:

PREN I'm Doctor Hanor Pren of the Trill science ministry.

KIRA I'm Major Kira Nerys, and I'd like to welcome you to Deep Space Nine. This is our strategic operations officer, Commander Worf, and of course our science officer, Commander Dax.

Worf nods to Pren and Dax shakes his hand. Just then, two more Trill scientists, BEJAL -- a man in his mid- thirties, and LENARA KAHN -- a striking woman about the same age, ENTER from the airlock. Dax stiffens slightly, but keeps her emotions tightly under wraps.

PREN Allow me to introduce our team leader Doctor Lenara Kahn and her brother Doctor Bejal Otner. (introducing them to the Trill) Major Kira, Commander Worf, and Commander Dax.

Everyone shakes hands and says hello... then comes the moment when Dax and Lenara finally face each other squarely. This is an awkward moment for both of them that they're trying very hard not to show.

DAX It's been a long time.

LENARA Yes, it has.

They hold each other's gaze just a fraction of a second too long, and Kira takes notice. Dax and Lenara break the moment and turn back to the others.

WORF If you will come with me, I'll show you to your quarters.

Worf heads off down the Corridor and the Trill scientists follow him. Dax hangs back and Kira stops her for a moment.

KIRA You know that woman?

FADE IN:

(NOTE: Episode credits fall over opening scenes)

5    INT. QUARK'S

Quark, Bashir, and Kira are at the bar. Quark is struggling to make sense of Dax's Trill backstory.

QUARK So let me get this straight. Dax's first host was named Lela. Right?

BASHIR I think so.

KIRA Lela Dax, that's right...

QUARK Then Lela dies and the Dax symbiont goes to a man named... Tobin. And after Tobin dies, then it's on to Emony... then... (trying to remember) ... Torias.... Audrid...

KIRA No, no. Audrid, then Torias.

QUARK Sorry. Audrid, Torias, Joran, Curzon... and then finally Jadzia. (Bashir nods) And this Doctor Lenara Kahn person was once married to... ?

BASHIR Torias. (beat) But of course she wasn't Lenara in those days.

  QUARK I knew it couldn't be that simple.

BASHIR The Kahn symbiont that's now joined to Lenara, used to be joined to a woman named Nilani. It was Nilani who married Torias Dax.

       DEEP SPACE NINE: "Rejoined" - REV. 08/30/95 - ACT ONE        8.

5    CONTINUED:

KIRA But Torias was killed in a shuttle accident...

BASHIR And so Nilani became a widow. Years later, when she died, the Kahn symbiont was joined to Lenara.

An N.D. Ferengi Waiter moves behind the bar and begins mixing some drinks.

QUARK And now... Nilani is Lenara, and Torias is Jadzia. So that makes Lenara Jadzia's ex-wife.

KIRA It's a little more complicated than that, Quark.

QUARK I'm sure it is. But to be honest, I'm sorry I brought the whole thing up. It's giving me a headache.

BASHIR Must be all that latinum rattling around in there.

Quark gives him a dirty look, then Bashir reaches out and seems to pluck a strip of LATINUM from Quark's ear.

BASHIR I was right. You really should have that looked at.

The N.D. Ferengi Waiter looks surprised and he leans in close to peer into Quark's ear, looking for more latinum. Quark glares at him.

QUARK (deadly) Get back to work.

The Waiter hurriedly returns to his job. Kira and Bashir are clearly amused, but Quark isn't.

QUARK (to Bashir & Kira) If you'll excuse me...

       DEEP SPACE NINE: "Rejoined" - REV. 08/30/95 - ACT ONE        9.

5    CONTINUED: (2)

Quark heads off with an annoyed expression. Bashir and Kira take their drinks and head for a table of their own.

KIRA (to Bashir) Dax teach you that?

BASHIR (nods) Next time I want to pull a rabbit out of his ear.

They sit down.

KIRA One thing I don't understand is why Dax and Lenara can't just... pick up where they left off. I mean, if they're still in love with each other --

BASHIR Ah, but there's the rub. Even if they do harbor feelings for each other, it's strictly against the rules of Trill society for them to acknowledge it in any way.

KIRA The "rules?"

BASHIR It's more of a... taboo, really. Having a relationship with a lover from a past life is called, "reassociation," and the Trill feel very strongly that it's... unnatural.

KIRA Unnatural? How can it be unnatural for a married couple to resume their marriage?

BASHIR The whole point of joining is to allow the symbiont to accumulate experiences over the span of many lifetimes. But in order to move on from host to host, the symbiont has to let go of the past... let go of parents, children, siblings, even spouses.

   DEEP SPACE NINE: "Rejoined" - REV. 08/30/95 - ACT ONE 10-11.      

5    CONTINUED: (3)

KIRA I don't understand how two people who've fallen in love, and made a life together, can be forced to just... walk away from each other because of some... taboo. (beat) There must be some Trill that "reassociate" with people from their past.

BASHIR I asked Dax the same question. And it seems there have been a few cases...

KIRA And what happened?

BASHIR (grim) They were exiled from the Trill homeworld.

KIRA That would mean their symbionts would never be joined to new hosts.

BASHIR Exactly. When the hosts die, the symbionts would die with them. (beat) So you see, however Dax may feel about Lenara, she's not going to risk that. To a joined Trill, nothing is more important than protecting the life of the symbiont. Nothing.

Off Kira's thoughtful look on this grim truth...

Re-establishing the station.

8    INT. DAX'S QUARTERS

Dax is fixing her hair in a mirror, while wearing black pants and a black t-shirt. Her dress uniform is on a nearby chair and she's running a little late. The door CHIMES.

DAX Come in.

Sisko, wearing his dress uniform, ENTERS.

SISKO I had a feeling you weren't going to be ready. I don't think Curzon was ever on time in his life. He was even late for his hundredth birthday party as I recall.

DAX You're never going to let me forget that are you?

SISKO Do you know how long I planned that party?

DAX Three months. I know.

She finishes with her hair and Sisko picks up the uniform coat and helps her into it. (There's no combadge on the coat.) Dax begins to fasten the coat while checking herself in the mirror.

         DEEP SPACE NINE: "Rejoined" - 08/30/95 - ACT ONE          13.

8    CONTINUED:

SISKO (casual) It's still not too late to back out of this reception, you know.

DAX You know me. I hate to miss a party.

SISKO I'm serious.

DAX I know. And I appreciate what you're trying to do... but I'm going to be working with Lenara for the next week, so I better get used to being around her.

Dax finishes with the coat and grabs a combadge off a table and puts it on. She turns and gives him a confident smile.

DAX Stop worrying about me, Benjamin. I'll be fine.

Sisko glances down at her combadge which is upside down. He reaches out and fixes it for her. They share a wry smile and then head for the door.

9    INT. WARDROOM

A short time later. The formal reception is in full swing, and Bashir, Kira, ODO and Worf are here in   their dress uniforms, along with a few N.D. Bajoran   Dignitaries, and a couple of N.D. Starfleet Officers.   At the moment, Sisko is making a toast to the Trill   science team -- Bejal, Pren, and Lenara, also in formal   attire -- and everyone has a glass of champagne. Dax   is watching from a discreet distance away.

       DEEP SPACE NINE: "Rejoined" - REV. 08/31/95 - ACT ONE       14.

9   CONTINUED:

SISKO (to scientists) ... so in the spirit of friendship, we welcome you to Deep   Space Nine and wish you success in   creating the galaxy's first   artificial wormhole.

Everyone clinks glasses and wallahs "Here, here" as they drink a toast. The party now breaks up into more casual groupings as people begin to talk among themselves.

9A   ON KIRA, WORF, BEJAL & LENARA

Who form a small conversation group.

LENARA

(to Worf) I understand you'll be commanding the Defiant during our experiments.

WORF Yes.

Worf is content to leave it at that, but the two Trill are trying to make small talk.

BEJAL (to Worf) You must be very excited. (off his look) To... be a part of a potentially history-making project.

WORF I am... looking forward to it.

LENARA (with a smile) I think Mister Worf is less than enthusiastic about commanding a research mission. It's not exactly what every Klingon dreams about.

KIRA (light) What do Klingons dream about, Worf?

       DEEP SPACE NINE: "Rejoined" - REV. 08/30/95 - ACT ONE      14A.

9A   CONTINUED:

Worf is a little tired of having his tail twisted. He fixes Kira with a deeply serious look.

WORF (very serious) Things that would send cold chills down your spine and wake you in the middle of the night. Believe me... it is better that you do not know.

He glowers at them for a moment, impressing them with his seriousness, then moves off. As soon as he turns away, we see just the slightest hint of a smile play about his lips.

KIRA I can never tell when he's joking.

LENARA (with humor) Maybe it is "better that we do not know."

Off their faces as they share a small laugh...

9B   ON DAX & ODO

as they talk.

DAX I thought you liked parties, Odo.

ODO I enjoy parties that are given for my friends. But these diplomatic receptions... welcoming receptions... good-bye receptions... it all seems...

DAX Unnecessary?

ODO Exactly. I've never understood the humanoid obsession with bringing together groups of people and forcing them to interact socially.

Dax notices that Worf has gotten himself a drink and is off by himself.

       DEEP SPACE NINE: "Rejoined" - REV. 08/31/95 - ACT ONE      14B.

9B   CONTINUED:

DAX Not all humanoids enjoy these functions.

Odo follows her gaze and watches as a smiling Bajoran diplomat approaches Worf, ready to make small talk. Worf gives the man a "find someone else to talk to" look and the diplomat makes a hasty retreat.

ODO Hmm. I think I may finally be starting to understand Mister Worf...

Odo moves off as Dax smiles to herself.

moves through the crowd over toward the food table and picks up a plate for herself. Nothing looks very appetizing, but she keeps poking around anyway. A few beats pass, then Lenara casually walks up next to her and picks up her own plate.

LENARA (re: food) Well... this looks wonderful.

DAX Mmmm-hmm.

LENARA I take it most of this is Bajoran.

       DEEP SPACE NINE: "Rejoined" - REV. 08/30/95 - ACT ONE      14C.

10   CONTINUED:

DAX (nods) Hasperat... moba fruit... veklava...

LENARA Of course, I'm not in the least bit hungry.

DAX Me neither.

LENARA (quiet, with humor) But I suppose we should load our plates anyway since the whole room is watching us.

Dax glances over her shoulder and catches a glimpse of almost everyone in the room suddenly turning away, hoping not to be seen watching the two of them. Dax can't help but smile as she urns back to the table and joins Lenara in putting food on her plate.

       DEEP SPACE NINE: "Rejoined" - REV. 08/30/95 - ACT ONE       15.

10   CONTINUED: (2)

DAX Quite an audience.

LENARA Seems a shame to disappoint them. We should probably do something.

DAX We could get into a screaming match... start throwing things at each other...

LENARA Not bad. Or I suppose we could throw ourselves at each other... profess our undying love and our complete disregard for Trill society.

DAX (laughs) Doctor Pren would probably have a heart attack.

LENARA Forget about him, my brother's head would explode. He's been a nervous wreck ever since we arrived.

DAX I know the feeling.

LENARA Well, I'll tell you what I told him: we're both mature adults and we can handle this.

DAX I agree completely. It's going to be fine.

They look at each other and share a smile of confidence.

LENARA (without looking away) They're watching again.

DAX I know. I guess we better get used to it.

Lenara extends a hand in an overly formal gesture and gives Dax a mock serious look.

       DEEP SPACE NINE: "Rejoined" - REV. 08/30/95 - ACT ONE       16.

10   CONTINUED: (3)

LENARA (mock serious) Thank you, Commander Dax. I appreciate your insightful commentary on Bajoran cuisine.

Dax shakes her hand with the same serious look.

DAX (mock serious) It was my pleasure, Doctor Kahn.

Then, at the same moment, the two of them turn and look at the crowd -- again everyone turns away and tries to look like they weren't watching this whole exchange. Dax and Lenara share a smile of amusement and then Lenara walks off to join her brother. Dax feels much more relaxed as Bashir moves over to her.

BASHIR Well... that seemed to go well.

DAX I never doubted it.

She takes a sip of her champagne and moves away from the table, seemingly content and relaxed again. But once she's away from Julian, she pauses for a moment... no one is watching her... and she glances over at Lenara across the room.

11   DAX'S POV

Lenara is listening to Bejal talk to Sisko... after a beat, she seems to sense someone watching her and she turns her head slightly, and now looks directly at Dax.

12   NEW ANGLE

as Dax and Lenara's eyes meet across the room, and the physical distance between them allows them to drop the light joking pretense. For a fleeting moment, they really see each other for the first time... and there is definitely something in the air between them. They both break the moment and look away at the same time.

Dax lets out a long breath and is about to take a sip from her glass of champagne... but then she sees that her hand is trembling.

The ship is docked at the station.

14   INT. DEFIANT - ENGINE ROOM

O'BRIEN and EDDINGTON are listening to Bejal describe the modifications that will need to be made to some of the Defiant's systems. Dax, Pren, and Lenara are nearby, and two N.D. Starfleet Engineers are also listening.

BEJAL After we launch our target drone,   the Defiant will have to generate   a subspace tensor matrix in the   twenty-five to thirty thousand   Cochrane range. Then the drone   will send out a magneton pulse   which should react with the matrix   and create an opening in the space- time continuum.

EDDINGTON   How long will we have to keep   generating the matrix?

PREN   Two minutes, maybe less. Once the   wormhole forms, we can shut down   the tensor matrix.

O'Brien thinks about this for a moment.

O'BRIEN   We'll need to reroute the pre- ignition plasma from the impulse   deck down to the auxiliary intake   to get that much power... (beat)   But I think we can do it.

BEJAL   Excellent.

PREN   We'll also need to download our   parameters for the matrix into one   of your computers.

       DEEP SPACE NINE: "Rejoined" - REV. 08/31/95 - ACT TWO       19.

14   CONTINUED:

DAX   We'd better use the main computer.   I don't think the engineering   computer can handle it.

O'BRIEN I agree.

DAX (to Pren & Lenara)   If you'll come with me, we can go   up to the bridge and begin   downloading the data.

PREN   All right.

As the three of them EXIT...

CUT TO:

15   INT. DEFIANT - BRIDGE

A few hours later. Dax is at the helm, working the console and checking a PADD, while Pren and Lenara are at a side station. Pren is working on a portable Trill computer about the size of a briefcase which he's set up on the console near Lenara. No one else is on the bridge.

LENARA (off console) Everything looks good here. Dax?

DAX The backup navigation program is still showing some calibration drift. I think some data may have been lost in the startup routine.

PREN (off portable console) Well, that explains the seven percent falloff in AFR ratios I keep seeing. (sigh) There must be a problem in the diagnostic sub-routines. I have a recalibration unit back in my quarters that might solve the problem.

       DEEP SPACE NINE: "Rejoined" - REV. 08/31/95 - ACT TWO       20.

15   CONTINUED:

DAX I'll have someone bring it here.

PREN No, no. I need a break anyway.

Pren EXITS, leaving Dax and Lenara alone for the first time. A few beats of silence pass as they both work their consoles.

LENARA Now I'm getting a dropoff in the triple-R output. We might have a bigger problem than the diagnostic subroutines.

Dax gets up and moves over to take a look at Lenara's console.

DAX Don't panic yet. It could just be a transtater failure. Happens all the time.

Dax is right next to Lenara as they both work the console. A few beats of silence.

LENARA (quiet) I wasn't panicking.

DAX It's just an expression. (looks at her in surprise) Sorry.

LENARA (quickly) No, I'm sorry. Forget it.

They work a moment longer.

LENARA (continuing) It's just that... you always used to -- I mean Torias always used to tell Nilani that she was panicking about things... making a big fuss over nothing.

       DEEP SPACE NINE: "Rejoined" - REV. 09/01/95 - ACT TWO       21.

15   CONTINUED: (2)

DAX Well... Torias could be insensitive at times... (beat) But... you have to admit, Nilani did do her share of overreacting.

LENARA (getting flustered) That's because you were a pilot and it made me nervous -- made her nervous... Torias being a pilot made Nilani nervous.

She trails off in frustration for a moment.

LENARA (continuing) I've never had quite this much trouble sorting out my feelings from those of a past host.

DAX I know what you mean.

LENARA (rueful smile) Probably another reason why we're not supposed to spend much time together... we'd just get lost in the past.

Dax looks at her and they share a look that neither of them can hold for very long... there's an emotional element here that is beginning to make itself more apparent. Dax moves back to the helm console.

DAX Let's try running the transtater diagnostic again.

LENARA Okay.

They work silently for a moment, then Dax stops... struggles with herself for a moment, talks quietly without turning around.

DAX (quiet) Nilani wasn't panicking the day before Torias died.

       DEEP SPACE NINE: "Rejoined" - REV. 08/31/95 - ACT TWO       22.

15   CONTINUED: (3)

Lenara freezes, the words cutting right through her, but she's just as afraid to turn and look at Dax as Dax is to look at her.

LENARA No?

DAX No. Torias should've listened to her. The shuttle wasn't ready for a full impulse test... but Torias had to do it anyway... and he was wrong. (beat) And whatever part of me is still Torias... is very sorry... and wishes he'd listened to you.

Lenara turns back and they look at each other for a long beat. There are jagged feelings on both sides that are bubbling dangerously close to the surface and they both know it. Lenara finally nods her thanks, not trusting her voice, and Dax manages a small smile in response. Dax finally breaks the moment.

DAX Well... we still have a lot of work to do.

LENARA Right.

They both resume work. Dax tries to focus, but her mind is not on the work.... She finally decides to take some action.

DAX Would you be interested in dinner? (quickly) I mean I'm having dinner with some friends and I thought... maybe you'd like to... join us?

It's a delicate dance they're doing... the minuet of two people trying not to risk rejection by the other, but both wanting to be together.

LENARA I wouldn't want to intrude on your friends...

DAX It's actually... not that big a group... it's really just me and... Julian.

         DEEP SPACE NINE: "Rejoined" - 08/30/95 - ACT TWO          23.

15   CONTINUED: (4)

LENARA Doctor Bashir? (beat) Sure.  That sounds great.

DAX Great.

LENARA Okay.  Dinner. Tonight.

DAX At Quark's.

LENARA Great.

They both go back to work, each of them wondering exactly what they've just begun with this small invitation.

CUT TO:

16   INT. PROMENADE - SECOND LEVEL

Bashir and Dax walking along.

BASHIR Tonight? I can't, I have plans.

DAX Cancel them. (off her look) I mean, if you can cancel them it would be... nice.

BASHIR It'll be nice because... ?

DAX Because... I've invited Lenara out to dinner and...

BASHIR And it would be less awkward if you had a... chaperone.

DAX Exactly. (earnest) Will you do it?

   DEEP SPACE NINE: "Rejoined" - REV. 09/12/95 - ACT TWO 24-25.      

16   CONTINUED:

Bashir hesitates for a moment.

BASHIR Something tells me I should say no... but I won't. What time?

DAX Twenty-two hundred at Quark's. Thanks. I owe you one.

Dax heads off, clearly very happy. Bashir watches with a smile, pleased that he can help out his friend.

21   INT. QUARK'S - SECOND LEVEL

Bashir, Dax and Lenara are at a table having dinner. Actually, Bashir is the only one eating, since Dax and Lenara are doing nothing but talking. We get the feeling that Bashir hasn't gotten a word in edgewise all night, but Dax and Lenara are definitely having a good time. Lenara is wearing a pair of EARRINGS that she toys with from time to time throughout the scene.

         DEEP SPACE NINE: "Rejoined" - 08/30/95 - ACT TWO          26.

21   CONTINUED:

DAX ... No, it didn't have a red awning. It had a... big ratana tree or something out front.

LENARA You don't mean the "Barros Inn?"

DAX Yes! That's it.

LENARA Curzon got thrown out of the Barros Inn? That's one of the wildest bars in the Rigel system. What did he do?

DAX Well, he sort of set fire to it...

LENARA Sort of?

DAX All right, he did set fire to it. But it wasn't deliberate. (beat) It was part of a bet. But that's another story.

Lenara smiles and shakes her head, amused by the story, but not charmed by it. Lenara is a little more conservative than Dax and there's just the faintest hint of disapproval in her attitude toward Curzon's behavior.

LENARA Curzon was certainly... different from most joined Trills.

DAX He liked to do things his own way. He used to say that there was an exception to every rule... and he usually went out of his way to find it.

LENARA In a way I'm glad I never met him. (with embarrassed smile) We probably wouldn't have liked each other very much.

       DEEP SPACE NINE: "Rejoined" - REV. 08/31/95 - ACT TWO      26A.

21   CONTINUED: (2)

DAX Oh, he wasn't that bad. I tend to exaggerate his rebellious qualities. (beat) But you may have a point... Curzon never did have much use for scientists.

Lenara looks up at her sharply... then sees the mischievous smile on Dax's face and realizes the inside joke.

LENARA Well, that's interesting considering what you do now.

DAX (laughs) Curzon would be horrified to know that I'm a scientist. The very idea of doing research made him ill.

LENARA Torias was not much different. I can remember talking to him about my wanting to study theoretical quantum physics and his eyes glazed over.

DAX The irony is that you and I have more in common than Torias and Nilani ever did.

LENARA That's right...

They both smile, but at the same time, this has touched on a topic that is once again edging toward some tricky territory. Fortunately for both of them, a com voice breaks in.

NURSE'S COM VOICE Infirmary to Doctor Bashir.

BASHIR (to com) Bashir here, go ahead.

       DEEP SPACE NINE: "Rejoined" - REV. 08/31/95 - ACT TWO       27.

21   CONTINUED: (3)

NURSE'S COM VOICE I'm sorry to disturb you, Doctor. But Ensign Tyler's broken his leg and I think you should --

BASHIR (quickly) I'm on my way. (to Dax & Lenara) Sorry. But duty calls.

DAX It's all right. Thanks for coming.

LENARA Nice to see you again.

Bashir makes a hasty EXIT, actually grateful for the chance to escape.

LENARA (re: Bashir) Now that is a good friend. He sat here and listened to us trade stories about our former hosts all night and never once complained.

DAX I think he really enjoyed himself.

They exchange a look and then Dax laughs.

DAX (continuing) Okay, maybe not. But I'll make it up to him.

A quiet beat as they reflect on the evening and on their feelings. Lenara toys with one of her earrings again and Dax notices.

DAX (re: earrings) Those are Klingon aren't they?

LENARA How'd you know?

Dax gives her a wry look and Lenara suddenly realizes.

LENARA Curzon?

       DEEP SPACE NINE: "Rejoined" - REV. 08/31/95 - ACT TWO      27A.

21   CONTINUED: (4)

Dax nods with a smile. Lenara takes the earrings off and hands them to Dax.

LENARA They were a gift from a Klingon scientist. He wanted to give me one of those knives they're always carrying, but I refused.

DAX They're beautiful.

Dax moves to hand them back.

LENARA Keep them. (off her look) Really. I'm... not very Klingon.

DAX Thank you.

Dax puts the earrings on.

DAX Well?

LENARA They suit you. (beat) It's good to see you again, Dax. That sounds strange, doesn't it?

          DEEP SPACE NINE: "Rejoined" - 8/30/95 - ACT TWO          28.

21   CONTINUED: (4)

LENARA (Cont'd) I mean, I'm looking at a different face, hearing a different voice... but somehow, it's still you.

DAX I know. Every time I start to think of you as just Lenara, you'll smile or laugh... and suddenly... it's you.

They look at each other for a long moment. Their hands are already on the table, so it doesn't take much effort for Dax to reach out and hold Lenara's hand. It's a small, easy gesture.

DAX (continuing) I'm really glad you're here.

LENARA Me too.

Lenara squeezes her hand in return and they share a moment together.

22   ANGLE ON PREN

Who has just reached the top of the spiral staircase. He is surprised and a little shocked by the sight of Lenara and Dax alone at the table holding hands. He hesitates, glances around in embarrassment... then heads back down the stairs.

Off the image of Dax and Lenara alone at the table...

as they work their consoles. It's clear from their body language that the two women are no longer so awkward around each other. They're being very low key, doing nothing to call attention to themselves, but the signs of a growing attraction between the two of them are clearly there to be seen.

DAX (annoyed) This AQF sequencer is always giving me problems.

LENARA Maybe it doesn't like you.

DAX How could it not like me? I'm adorable.

LENARA That is a matter of opinion.

DAX I'll have you know that the word adorable is used three times in my Starfleet personnel file.

Lenara rolls her eyes.

who are still working at the aft station. Pren is watching the interaction between Dax and Lenara with a slightly disturbed look. From this position, he can't hear any of their conversation, but he can see that they are definitely on friendly terms.

BEJAL The plasma coil interlocks are in place... deflector grid is charged and standing by...

PREN (sotto) They're very friendly today.

Bejal glances over at the two women.

BEJAL Mmm.

PREN They had dinner last night... alone.

BEJAL What're you trying to say?

PREN I shouldn't have to say anything.

BEJAL (firm) Then don't.

Bejal glares at Pren, who seems to back down. Bejal stabs at a control on the console.

BEJAL (to all) We're ready to generate the tensor matrix.

Lenara looks to Dax.

DAX The drone is standing by.

LENARA (to Bejal) Initialize the focal array.

Bejal and Pren work their consoles.

From out of the forward deflector dish, a CONE OF ENERGY suddenly leaps out toward space.

As before.  On the viewscreen, we see the energy beam from the Defiant go out to a certain point in space, where it terminates in a ROILING RED EFFECT.

LENARA (to Dax) Activate the drone.

DAX (off console) The drone is sending out the magneton pulse... (beat) It's reached the matrix...

PREN I'm picking up a subspace distortion...

BEJAL (excited) The distortion is becoming coherent... it's working!

DAX (calm) The magneton pulse is causing a feedback loop... it'll destroy the drone in a few seconds.

LENARA A few seconds is all we need...

(31   EXT. SPACE - THE SUBSPACE DISTORTION (OPTICAL)

The effect changes from a randomly fluctuating sea of energy into a NEW WORMHOLE ENTRANCE (which should look very different from our standard wormhole effect).

Pren and Bejal shake hands and there's a real sense of accomplishment on the Bridge.

WORF (to Lenara) Congratulations, Doctor.

LENARA Thank you. That was only the first step. But what a step!

Dax hugs Lenara in a moment of pure joy.

DAX I'm so proud of you.

Bejal is just as positive about their work, but there's something on his mind and he's not sure how to bring it up.

LENARA All the telemetry checks out... the wormhole was open for twenty- three point four seconds, and   during that time it was completely   coherent.

BEJAL   You couldn't ask for a better   beginning. But it all comes down   to the next test. We have to be   able to send an object through the   wormhole to prove that it's stable   enough for space travel.

LENARA That reminds me... Dax thinks we   should use a Class Four probe to   make the actual run. She says the   Class Four shielding will give us   a better idea of how the wormhole   will affect a real ship.

BEJAL   Oh... I didn't know you talked to   Dax since we got back.

LENARA   I saw her last night.

BEJAL Where?

LENARA She stopped by my quarters...

BEJAL   And how long did she stay?

Lenara starts to realize what Bejal is getting at.

Lenara sits back, a little stung by this.

LENARA   I don't believe this.

BEJAL   Believe it. People are starting   to notice.

LENARA   People?

BEJAL (drops his voice)   Doctor Pren saw you holding hands   at dinner the other night. I   thought he was overreacting, but   then I saw the way the two of you   were acting on the Defiant...

Lenara gets up from the table and walks off, offended. Bejal jumps up, goes after her...

36   INT. PROMENADE - CONTINUOUS

Bejal going after Lenara.

BEJAL (loud whisper)   Lenara... Lenara!

He finally catches up to her and corners her in a secluded alcove.

BEJAL I'm sorry... I'm sorry.

Lenara folds her arms, gives him a cold look.

BEJAL   Look... I'm your brother. You   tell me nothing's going on... then   nothing's going on. I just want   to hear you say it.

Dax is sitting on a couch reading a PADD. She's in her civilian clothes. The door CHIMES.

DAX Come in.

Lenara comes in. She's clearly a little upset about something.

DAX What's wrong?

Lenara takes a deep breath, paces a bit... tries to sort out her feelings.

LENARA I just had an unpleasant   conversation with my brother. (beat)   He thinks there's something going   on between us.

DAX Oh. (beat)   What'd you tell him?

LENARA   I told him that was ridiculous...   that you and I are just friends   and of course there's nothing   going on.

DAX Well, then that should settle it.

But Lenara still looks troubled, moves to the window and looks out. Dax puts aside her feelings for the moment, stays on the couch.

      DEEP SPACE NINE: "Rejoined" - REV. 08/31/95 - ACT THREE      37.

37   CONTINUED:

DAX (continuing) Maybe we shouldn't spend time   together... it'll just give   people the wrong idea.

A long beat of silence.

LENARA (quiet)   Or give them the right idea.

Lenara turns and they look at each other. It's a scary moment for both of them -- they both realize they're about to admit something they've both been carefully avoiding.

DAX Maybe we shouldn't have this   conversation.

LENARA   Would that do any good... would it   change how either of us feels?

DAX No... but it would be easier.

LENARA   You've never been one for the easy   way out.

DAX That's true. But in this case,   I'm not the only one involved. I   don't want to do anything that   would hurt you. (beat)   I did that once before... I   climbed into a shuttlecraft and   made you a widow.

LENARA   I knew you were a pilot when I   married you. I knew the risks.   I went in with my eyes wide open.

A silent moment as Dax gets off the couch and moves closer to her.

DAX And what about now... are your   eyes open... do you know what the   risks are?

LENARA I thought I'd gotten over you...   it's been so long... so much has   happened. But now I know I   haven't...

DAX I've missed you so much.

A long, intense moment. Dax reaches out with her hand and brushes aside a lock of hair off her forehead back behind her ear... lets her finger run along Lenara's jawline. Lenara brushes her lips across Dax's fingertips. They hold each other's eyes... and then slowly come together until their lips touch and they finally kiss. A passionate, loving kiss that they've waited a hundred years for.

Finally, they pull away... look at each other with shock, love, and charged emotions.

LENARA (choked) I'd better go.

DAX Yeah.

But it's not easy to break away. Lenara forces herself to let go of Dax... then heads for the door... hesitates on the step and looks back. They share a final look, and then Lenara EXITS. Dax sits down heavily in a nearby chair, excited, exhausted, frightened, confused and happy all at once.

SISKO What do you want to do?

Dax smiles as she recalls Lenara's joking words at the party.

DAX Throw myself at her... profess my undying love and my complete disregard for Trill society. (off his look) A joke Lenara made at the reception. Doesn't sound so funny anymore, does it?

SISKO Not really.

Dax looks at him, sees his troubled expression.

DAX You don't think I should pursue this.

Sisko thinks about it for a moment, decides to be brutally honest.

SISKO No.

Dax takes a deep breath, tries to put her feelings aside for the moment and listen to her old friend.

DAX Okay. Why?

SISKO Because I remember what Curzon used to say about "reassociation." That it didn't matter whether he agreed with the taboo or not.

SISKO (Cont'd) Because the price for violating it was too high. (beat) Exile.

DAX (quickly) I know what Curzon used to say, Benjamin. But I'm not Curzon.

SISKO You're not Torias, either. You're Jadzia Dax and you have a responsibility as a joined Trill to --

DAX (sharp) I didn't come here for a lecture on my responsibilities.

SISKO (right back at her) What you came here for was to get advice from a friend. And that's what you're getting.

There's a beat, and then the tension drops.

DAX You're right. Sorry.

SISKO I know this is difficult for you. And I know how you feel about Lenara... but I want you to think about what'll happen if you pursue this.

Dax stands and takes a few steps around the room.

SISKO If you're exiled from Trill... there'll be no further hosts for your symbiont. When Jadzia dies... Dax dies.

This affects her. She is clearly torn, struggling with her feelings.

      DEEP SPACE NINE: "Rejoined" - REV. 08/31/95 - ACT FOUR      40A.

38   CONTINUED: (2)

SISKO (continuing) It goes against everything you were taught during initiate training. You've told me again and again that each host is only a link in a chain... and that no matter what happens, the life of the symbiont must go on.

DAX I know that... and I believe in it. (beat) But I also know that I love her, Benjamin.

She turns and looks at him and he can see the heartache and pain on her face. He goes to her.

SISKO I know you do. And if I were in your position... I'd probably be just as ready to throw everything away for the woman I love. (beat) But I'd want to be sure that I was ready to pay the price.

A long beat.

DAX You're right. I have to be sure.

SISKO (gentler) But if you are sure... if this is what you really want... I'll back you up... all the way.

She looks at him and they both share a smile. The friendship between them transcends the difficulties of the moment.

DAX I've lived seven lifetimes... and I've never had a friend quite like you.

Sisko smiles and she hugs him. OFF the moment...

39   EXT. SPACE - THE DEFIANT (OPTICAL)

hangs in space.

39A  INT. DEFIANT - ENGINE ROOM

Eddington and Lenara are working the consoles. An N.D. Engineer is in the b.g.

EDDINGTON (to com) Eddington to Bridge. We're ready to generate the tensor matrix.

INTERCUT AS NEEDED:

40   INT. DEFIANT - BRIDGE

Worf in command, Pren, Bejal, Dax, N.D.s at their stations.

WORF Understood. Stand by. (to Dax) Commander Dax?

DAX Subspace field stress is within normal parameters.

PREN The probe's ready for launch.

BEJAL The target drone is in position.

WORF (to com) Bridge to Engine Room. Initialize the subspace matrix, Mister Eddington.

EDDINGTON Acknowledged.

Eddington and Lenara go to work. Eddington climbs the ladder up to the upper level of the Engine Room.

END INTERCUT.

41   thru   OMITTED 43  

44   INT. DEFIANT - BRIDGE (OPTICAL)

On the VIEWSCREEN, the CONE of ENERGY goes out in space, as seen before.

PREN (to Bejal) Activate the drone.

A WORMHOLE OPENS up as before.

BEJAL (off console) Wormhole neutrino readings... are stable.

DAX (off console) Subspace field stress is up by fifteen percent... but still within safety margins.

WORF Launch the probe.

45   EXT. SPACE - THE DEFIANT & WORMHOLE (OPTICAL)

The Defiant LAUNCHES A PROBE, which flies out and ENTERS the wormhole. As soon as the probe goes inside, the wormhole suddenly COLLAPSES and sends out a huge blast of ENERGY which slams into the Defiant.

46   INT. DEFIANT - BRIDGE

The ship is ROCKED violently and a few consoles explode in the aft area. POWER GOES OUT.

WORF Report.

DAX No helm control... there's a hull breach on Deck Five... emergency forcefields are in place.

      DEEP SPACE NINE: "Rejoined" - REV. 09/12/95 - ACT FOUR       44.

46   CONTINUED:

BEJAL (urgent) I'm reading a massive plasma leak in the Engine Room.

Dax reacts in shock.

WORF (to com) Bridge to Engine Room. (beat) Mister Eddington. (beat) Doctor Kahn can you hear me?

Dax is up and heading for the door.

DAX Have a damage control team meet me down there.

Worf nods as an anxious Dax heads out the door.

CUT TO:

47 thru   OMITTED 48

49   INT. DEFIANT - CORRIDOR

Dax and two Engineering N.D.s arrive at the closed door to the Engine Room. The Engineers have high-tech fire extinguishers.

DAX Stand back.

They take positions on each side of the door. Dax hits a wall panel and the doors OPEN. They carefully peer inside.

      DEEP SPACE NINE: "Rejoined" - REV. 08/31/95 - ACT FOUR       45.

50   INT. DEFIANT - ENGINE ROOM - UPPER LEVEL (OPTICAL)

A PLASMA CONDUIT has broken loose from the floor and is spewing a violent continuous blast of PLASMA EXHAUST up into the room -- a torrent of green energy crackling with deadly power. On the upper level, Eddington has been wounded, but he's trying to drag the unconscious N.D. Engineer seen earlier to safety. One of the damage control officers takes the unconscious man from Eddington and pulls him out into the corridor.

Dax looks around and sees Lenara lying unconscious on the far side of the room. The plasma fire separates Dax from Lenara -- there doesn't seem to be any way to get to her. Eddington has to shout over the roar of the exhaust.

EDDINGTON (yells) It's out of control. (re: extinguisher) We can't put it out with those. We'll have to vent the entire compartment out into space.

DAX (yells) No. Lenara might still be alive.

EDDINGTON There's no way to get to her.

Dax thinks furiously.

DAX How long will a level eight forcefield last in here?

EDDINGTON Not long with that plasma fire. Four, five seconds at the most.

She moves to a wall panel.

DAX I think I can get to her.

EDDINGTON Dax, if we don't contain this thing now, it's going to set off the warp core.

Dax finishes working at the panel.

DAX I know. Just give me ten seconds and then vent the compartment.

      DEEP SPACE NINE: "Rejoined" - REV. 08/31/95 - ACT FOUR       46.

51   NEW ANGLE (OPTICAL),

Dax hits a control and a FORCEFIELD FLASHES ON. The forcefield cuts across the room diagonally, from the   upper level down to the floor, cutting off and   containing the plasma leak like putting a plate glass   window over a fire burning on the floor. For the   moment, the fire is safely contained below.

52   DAX (OPTICAL)

scrambles down the ladder and STEPS OUT ONTO THE   FORCEFIELD, which FLASHES ON beneath her feet. She   runs down the forcefield, plasma fire roiling beneath   her feet. She gets about halfway down when suddenly the field begins to FRITZ dangerously. Dax JUMPS off   the field onto the deck just before the field FRITZES   OFF, releasing the plasma fire again. She moves to   Lenara, who is wounded but alive. Dax OPENS a nearby   hatch, grabs Lenara and pulls her through the hatch and   into the JEFFERIES TUBE. She reaches back to close the   hatch...

53   INT. DEFIANT - JEFFERIES TUBE - CONTINUOUS

As Dax closes the hatch behind her and Lenara. They're   safe. A beat as they catch their breath. Lenara looks   up at Dax with a slightly dazed expression. They look   at each other.

LENARA Dax...

They hold each other tight... trembling slightly after   the brush with death. They don't want to let go.

DAX I thought I lost you...

LENARA So did I... I don't want to lose you... not again...

DAX Not again... never again...

Off the moment as the two woman just hold on tight...

FADE OUT.

FADE IN:

54   EXT. SPACE - DEEP SPACE NINE (OPTICAL)

Re-establishing the station.

55   OMITTED

56   INT. LENARA'S QUARTERS

Lenara is lying on the couch, looking a little worn out, but with her wounds healed. Bejal is sitting nearby and pouring her some tea. He's taking care of his sister and his attitude is compassionate. The door CHIMES.

LENARA Come in.

Dax ENTERS.

DAX How're you feeling?

BEJAL Much better. She's almost fully recovered.

Lenara smiles up at him.

LENARA My brother the nurse.

Bejal smiles down at her, then looks up at Dax and thinks for a beat.

BEJAL (to Dax) I want to thank you... for what you did. Lenara... means a lot to me.

DAX To both of us.

There's an awkward moment. Bejal hasn't changed his attitude about "reassociation" but this isn't the time or place to start a fight.

      DEEP SPACE NINE: "Rejoined" - REV. 09/12/95 - ACT FIVE       50.

56   CONTINUED:

BEJAL Yes. (to Lenara) I'll leave you two alone.

He gives Dax a polite nod on the way out.

LENARA Do they know what happened to the wormhole yet?

DAX Our best guess at this point is that the tetrion field reacted to the probe's shielding and produced a massive graviton wave.

Lenara nods somberly. Dax tries to get her to look at the positive.

DAX (continuing) The important thing is that no one was killed and we brought the ship back in one piece.

LENARA (groans) The ship. How bad was the damage?

DAX Chief O'Brien says he'll have it good as new in two weeks. Now stop torturing yourself.  It wasn't your fault.

LENARA It was my project... my theories...

DAX And you shouldn't forget that your project and your theories still produced the first artificially created wormhole in history.  It's a huge achievement.

Lenara finally manages to smile.

LENARA You're right. I am being a little self-indulgent aren't I?

      DEEP SPACE NINE: "Rejoined" - REV. 08/31/95 - ACT FIVE       51.

56   CONTINUED: (2)

DAX Yes. You are.

Lenara pushes aside her depression and tries to be as upbeat as Dax.

LENARA Well. I guess I'll have a lot of work to do when I get back to Trill. Analyzing the telemetry from the probe alone will probably take months.

DAX Probably.

There's a quiet beat as Dax gets to something that's on her mind.

DAX (quiet) Why not do the work here... with me.

The implication and the subtext are clear. Lenara sits up and faces Dax directly.

LENARA With you. The two of us... together. (Dax nods) You know what that would mean...

DAX I know exactly what it would mean. But I think it's worth the price.

Lenara looks away and smiles ruefully for a beat.

LENARA That's funny... Bejal just spent the last half hour telling me that it wouldn't be worth it. He thinks I should go back to Trill with him tomorrow and try to forget about you.

DAX Well, at least he's consistent.

LENARA Don't be too hard on him. He's only trying to look out for his big sister.

      DEEP SPACE NINE: "Rejoined" - REV. 08/31/95 - ACT FIVE       52.

56   CONTINUED: (3)

DAX Everyone's trying to... look out for us. Protect us from ourselves. But in the end, all that matters is how we feel... and what we do about it. Because either way, we're the ones who have to live with the consequences.

Lenara gets up, moves around the room for a moment, struggling with her conflicting feelings.

LENARA That's the tricky part though, isn't it? Living with the consequences.

There's a long tense beat as Lenara struggles... she's approaching the precipice and the view from here is frightening.

LENARA When you're not around, it's like part of me is missing. I want to be with you more than anything... (difficult) But I don't think I can do this...

Dax closes her eyes... tries to rein in the crushing feeling that fills her.

LENARA I'm not like you, Dax... I don't have a little Curzon inside me telling me to be impulsive... to ignore the rules... give up everything I've worked for...

DAX (choked up) Can you really walk away from me... from us? After all this time we're back together. Don't throw that away.

Lenara desperately hunts for something to grasp onto, some half-way measure that will keep her from making this choice.

      DEEP SPACE NINE: "Rejoined" - REV. 08/31/95 - ACT FIVE       53.

56   CONTINUED: (4)

LENARA I don't want to... (beat) Maybe I need more time... maybe if I go back to Trill for a while... think it over... I could always come back later...

Dax stands up and moves to her... takes Lenara's face in her hands and looks into her eyes.

DAX (emotional) I wish I could believe that. But ultimately, it comes down to this... if you feel about me the way I feel about you... you won't get on that transport tomorrow. And if you do leave... I think we both know you're never coming back.

There's a moment as they look into each others eyes... the emotion of the moment almost too much for either of them to bear... then Dax turns and EXITS. OFF Lenara's face...

CUT TO:

57   EXT. SPACE - DEEP SPACE NINE (OPTICAL)

The Trill transport ship is docked at the station again.

58   INT. PROMENADE - SECOND LEVEL

Dax is standing by the railing, looking down at the airlock on the first level, with a tense look on her face. She's holding one of the EARRINGS Lenara gave her earlier. She toys with it as she waits. After a few beats, Worf, Bejal and Pren walk down the Promenade heading toward the airlock. The two scientists are carrying their bags. Worf OPENS the airlock doors and says good-bye to the scientists.

Dax looks around the Promenade, hoping that Lenara won't show up... and for a brief time it looks like she won't. But then Lenara comes down the Promenade carrying her bag and Dax's heart sinks. Lenara goes to the airlock just as Bejal and Pren EXIT. Lenara exchanges goodbyes with Worf... then hesitates just before leaving.

      DEEP SPACE NINE: "Rejoined" - REV. 08/31/95 - ACT FIVE      53A.

58   CONTINUED:

She glances around the Promenade as if having second thoughts, then she looks up at the second level and she sees Dax standing there.

Their eyes meet and in that moment, Dax knows that Lenara is truly leaving. Lenara breaks the moment and then steps into the airlock. Worf CLOSES the door behind her.

Dax stares after her for a long moment... She looks at the earring in her hand... and makes it disappear. Then she clasps her hands behind her back, and slowly walks away.

FADE OUT.

                       END OF ACT FIVE                                                    THE END
