DEEP SPACE: "The Circle" - REV. 07/14/93 - ACT TWO         23.

36   INT. TEMPLE SHRINE CHAMBER (OPTICAL)

	... where Kira stands, fully dressed and as she stood

	reflects that, while perplexedly incredulous to the point of 
	near-astonishment...

38   KIRA'S FACE

	... she's also intrigued.

39   EXT. SPACE - DEEP SPACE NINE (OPTICAL) (STOCK)

	Re-establishing.

40   INT. SECURITY OFFICE (OPTICAL)

			Last night alone we had dozens of 
			beatings.  They're everywhere... 
			until we go looking for them; then 
			they're nowhere.

			friends to warn them, and protect

			before it gets out of hand... the 
			provisional government is bringing 
			troops into the capital...

					ODO
				(reacts, it's that 
				serious?)
			Troops...
