	FADE IN:

89   INT. JEM'HADAR SHIP - COMMAND CENTER - DAY (OPTICAL)

	Moments later. The melting goo on the ceiling suddenly 
	MORPHS into a HALF-FORMED CREATURE -- almost as if the 
	changeling were trying to form itself into several 
	shapes at once.

	With a-frightening ROAR, the creature lashes out at 
	Dax. Sisko pushes Dax out of harm's way and rolls to 
	his side, aiming his phaser at the creature.

	Sisko is about to blast the creature -- when he 
	realizes the changeling can't maintain its form. Sisko 
	and Dax watch the creature as it MORPHS back to its 
	watery, gelatinous goo.

90   ANGLE ON 

	Sisko and Dax lowering their weapons.

					DAX
				(off her tricorder)
			It can't hold its shape. It's 
			dying.

					SISKO
			Then we're in trouble.
				(off her look)
			This is what the Vorta's been 
			looking for. A Founder. No 
			wonder the Jem'Hadar wouldn't
			attack.

					DAX
			They couldn't risk killing one of 
			their gods.

91   ON THE CHANGELING (OPTICAL)

	As the gelatinous goo keeps CHURNING and VIBRATING, it 
	begins EMITTING a piercing, low-toned, ominous HUM, 
	like the keen of a whale.

92   EXT. ROCK PLANET - JEM'HADAR SHIP - DAY

	The HUMMING SOUND echoes as Kilana and three Jem'Hadar 
	warriors stand listening intently to it.
