	The Bird of Prey looms ominously nearby.

57   RESUME

					O'BRIEN
			They're hailing us.

					SISKO
			Let's find out what they want.

	O'Brien works his panel, then reacts with surprise.

					O'BRIEN
			Sir, it's Gul Dukat.

					SISKO
				(also surprised)
			On a Klingon ship?

				O'BRIEN
			He's asking permission to dock.

	And on their reactions to this strange turn of
	events...

58   INT. KLINGON BRIDGE

	Dukat and Ziyal are embracing as Kira stands nearby.

					DUKAT
			When this is over, I'll come back
			for you. I promise you that.

					ZIYAL
			I know you will.

	Dukat turns to face Kira.

					DUKAT
			Major...

					KIRA
			I'll take good care of her.

					DUKAT
				(nodding)
			I know.
				(a beat; Dukat regains
				his aplomb)
			Well, it would appear that whether
			you like it or not, our lives have
			become deeply intertwined.
