DEEP SPACE: "Second Skin" - REV. 08/23/94 - ACT THREE       32.

42   CONTINUED:

					SISKO
			I'd like to hear it again,  
			firsthand.

					GARAK
			This is pointless.  Believe me, 
			there's nothing you can do.  If my 
			friend is correct, and Major Kira is 
			being held by the Obsidian Order, 
			retrieving her would be quite 
			impossible.

					ODO
			Maybe impossible for us... but not 
			for you.

	Garak's discomfort increases markedly.

					GARAK
			I'm afraid you overestimate my 
			abilities.

					SISKO
			I hope not... Because I intend to 
			put those abilities to the test.
				(off Garak's reaction)
			The three of us are going to 
			Cardassia.

					GARAK
			The three of us?  You can't be 
			serious.
				(sees that they are)
			Commander, if I were allowed on 
			Cardassia, do you really think I'd 
			be living here?

					SISKO
			Which brings up an interesting point.
				(off Garak's reaction)
			Garak, certain ministers in the 
			Bajoran government have expressed 
			concern about your presence on this 
			station.  In fact, they want you 
			removed.  Right now, I see no 
			alternative but to agree with their 
			request.
				(going in for the 
				kill)
			Unless of course, I can show them 
			that you might be valuable to them.
