DEEP SPACE: "Shadowplay" - REV. 12/10/93 - ACT ONE         17.

15   CONTINUED:	(2)

	Odo hangs back.

					ODO
			If you don't mind, I'd like to talk 
			to your granddaughter.

					RURIGAN
			Last time I saw her she was across 
			the square.  I'll take you to her.

16   EXT. ANOTHER PART OF YADERAN SETTLEMENT - NIGHT

	An alien girl (TAYA) sits alone on a stairway, absentmindedly 
	playing with an alien toy which vaguely resembles a large 
	top.  Taya's about nine, and looks lost and forlorn.  She 
	hears a noise... a footstep or some movement... and looks up 
	and sees...

17   ODO AND RURIGAN

	walking toward her.  Odo's face is hidden by the darkness.

					RURIGAN
			Taya?

	Rurigan steps into the light.  Odo follows and the beam of 
	harsh light illuminates his face, making it look even more 
	bizarre and unreal.

18   ON TAYA

	As she reacts to Odo's strange appearance, shying away.

19   RESUME SCENE

	Odo can't help but notice the girl's reaction.  Rurigan 
	notices it, too.

					RURIGAN
			Don't be afraid, Taya.  He's a friend 
			of Protector Colyus.  He just wants 
			you to answer some questions.

					TAYA
			Do I have to?

					RURIGAN
			Not if you don't want to.
