         DEEP SPACE: "THE Search, II" - 07/19/94 - ACT THREE        30.
                           ACT THREE                            

	FADE IN:

33   EXT. CEREMONIAL GARDENS - NIGHT

	Kira ENTERS, her conversation with the shape-shifter still 
	weighing heavily upon her.

					KIRA
				(looking around)
			Odo, are you here?

	She begins examining various flora and fauna, thinking that 
	perhaps Odo is practicing his shape-shifting.

					KIRA
			Odo?  I'm going to try to track down 
			the source of the interference.  If 
			I can't find it and neutralize it, 
			I'll have to leave here and try to 
			find Sisko and the others.
				(a beat; saying good-bye)
			I'm glad you finally made it home, 
			Odo.  I know things are going to 
			work out fine for you and...

	Kira suddenly stops as she realizes she's been addressing 
	the last part of her speech to a large bush.

					KIRA
			I don't believe this... I'm talking 
			to a tree.  You're probably not even 
			here are you?

	She waits for an answer.  There isn't one.  It takes a beat 
	for her to accept this, and then she turns and walks out of 
	the garden.
