STAR TREK: DEEP SPACE NINE “Armageddon Game” TEASER FADE IN: 1 EXT. SPACE - T’LANI MUNITIONS CRUISER (OPTICAL) The Runabout Ganges and a much larger T’Lani Munitions Ship are in synchronous orbit around a small planet, T’Lani Three. BASHIR (V.O.) Chief Medical Officer’s log, Stardate 47529.4. For the past week Chief O’Brien and I have been helping scientists from the Kellerun and T’Lani races find a way to eliminate their stockpile of Harvesters… a deadly biomechanical gene disrupter used by both sides in their centuries-long war… 2 INT. T’LANI MUNITIONS CRUISER - LAB BASHIR hovers over a TRANSPARENT HALF-DOME filled with a pale green liquid — a genetic bath. He’s surrounded by a joint team of T’Lani and Kellerun scientists. (In looks only, the T’Lani should be to the Kelleruns like the Vulcans are to the Klingons… the T’Lani look like the more peaceful race.) A T’Lani scientist named NYDROM is among the group; he wears the loose-fitting, colorful garb common to all the T’Lani we will see. In another part of the room, O’BRIEN sits working at a monitor. He pauses to sip from a MUG OF COFFEE, which he sets down next to him. O’Brien, Bashir and the others appear to have been working around the clock for the past week. Everyone seems tired but determined. (NOTE: A transporter pad and panel should inconspicuously be part of this lab.) BASHIR Doctor Nydrom, how’s our muon charge? Nydrom moves to a circuit control station, which is off to the side of the room. He checks the readings. NYDROM Coming up to full power. DEEP SPACE: “Armageddon Game” - 11/08/93 - TEASER 2. 2 CONTINUED: Bashir then nods to an N.D. Kellerun scientist. The scientist picks up a glass canister of Harvesters — a DAY-GLO ORANGE GEL. The scientist carefully fastens the canister onto the top of the domed genetic bath. BASHIR (to computer) Computer… this is Harvester test sequence three hundred and seventy-five. NYDROM (still at control station) Muon generator now at full power. Bashir looks down at the genetic bath control panel, stares at it along with the other scientists. O’Brien turns toward them in his chair, aware of how important the next few moments will be. BASHIR (wearily) Once more into the breech… I hope this works, because frankly I’m running out of ideas. NYDROM It took ten years to perfect the Harvesters. We’ve only been trying to eliminate them for a week. BASHIR Is that all it’s been? It feels like we’ve been working nonstop for a month. I’ve never seen a nano- biogenic weapon so resistant to broad spectrum radiation… DEEP SPACE: “Armageddon Game” - 11/08/93 - TEASER 3.
