54   CONTINUED:

					MORA
			You do it very well.
				(beat)
			I'm proud of you, Odo.  Did you know 
			that?

	Odo just nods, but it's clear that he didn't know that.  
	They walk a beat in silence...

55   INT. SCIENCE LAB (VPB)

	As they ENTER... Dax is examining the traces... checking the 
	monitor... entering instructions, pressing panels... Mora 
	stops to study the pillar, which has been moved...

					ODO
			Anything?

					DAX
				(shakes her head)
			The computer's having trouble breaking 
			down the DNA chains.

					MORA
			What about the pillar... has the 
			computer had any success decoding 
			the encryption?

					DAX
			No luck there either.  All things 
			considered, the computer's having a 
			bad week.  We have such a limited 
			database for the Gamma Quadrant...

					ODO
			I have to shut down the Promenade... 
			call me when you have something...

	She nods... Odo starts to leave... pauses as he looks again 
	at the stele, a thought... to Dax --

					ODO
			Wasn't that pillar over there before?
