         DEEP SPACE: "The Circle" - REV. 07/14/93 - ACT ONE         12.

12   CONTINUED:

					KIRA
			Is this a joke?
				(to all)
			Did you plan this?

					BASHIR
				(not me)
			Nobody could have planned this.

					KIRA
				(calls o.s.)
			We're open for business.  Come on 
			in.  Join the crowd.

13   INCLUDING BAREIL

	In the doorway stands VEDEK BAREIL (the Bajoran Vedek we 
	first met in our "IN THE HANDS OF THE PROPHETS" episode).  
	As he's revealed, there's sudden, complete SILENCE in the 
	room... And Kira BOLTS to her feet.

					KIRA
			Vedek Bareil.

					BAREIL
			I didn't mean to intrude...

					KIRA
			No; please... Come in.  These are 
			my...
				(beat; realizing it)
			...friends.

	Bareil, smiling warmly and graciously, bows courteously to 
	all in the room, as:

					BAREIL
			Yes, I've met...
				(nods at each)
			... Security Chief Odo... Lieutenant 
			Dax, and... Mister O'Brien, I believe.

					O'BRIEN
			How do you do, Sir.

					KIRA
			I had no idea you were coming to the 
			station.

					BAREIL
			Nowadays, it's probably wiser not to 
			announce those things.
