					KIRA
			My father?
				(doesn't buy it)
			My father died on Bajor... fighting 
			the Cardassians.

					GHEMOR
				(impatiently)
			That's not true.
				(checks himself)
			I'm sorry.  I know you don't remember 
			me... but I've been waiting for this 
			for so long.
				(a beat, to Entek)
			Please leave us.

					ENTEK
			Are you sure that's wise?

					GHEMOR
			She's my daughter.  She's not going 
			to hurt me.

					ENTEK
			As you wish.

	Entek EXITS, leaving...

24   KIRA AND GHEMOR

	Alone in the room.  Kira sizes up Ghemor.  He doesn't seem 
	like a threat, but she still doesn't trust him.  On his part, 
	Ghemor desperately wants to make some connection with the 
	woman he believes to be his daughter.

					GHEMOR
			I've missed you, Iliana...
