STAR TREK: "Heart of Stone" - REV. 11/18/94 - ACT ONE       13.

15   NEW ANGLE


	Kira is leaning against an outcropping of wall.  Her beacon 
	is in the middle of the room as if she'd dropped it and it'd 
	rolled away.

					KIRA
			Odo, am I glad to see you.

					ODO
			What's wrong?

					KIRA
				(embarrassed)
			You're not going to believe this... 
			my foot is stuck.

					ODO
			Stuck?
				(makes his way over 
				to her)
			How?

					KIRA
			I don't know.  I must've stepped 
			into a fissure or something.  I can't 
			get it loose.

					ODO
			Let me take a look.

	Odo kneels down and shines his beacon on Kira's foot.

16   CLOSE ON KIRA'S FOOT (OPTICAL)

	In the beacon light, we can see that Kira's foot has been 
	encased in some kind of crystalline formation.  The crystals 
	sparkle in the beacon light.  As Odo watches, the crystal 
	spreads, almost imperceptibly, up to Kira's ankle.

17   CLOSE ON ODO

	As he reacts to this strange sight.

					ODO
			It's not a fissure.

					KIRA
			Then what is it?

					ODO
			Your foot's been encased in some 
			kind of crystal.  And from the look 
			of things...
