					THRAX
			... so why not accept it? If the 
			Bajoran people accepted their 
			place in history, none of this 
			would've happened.

 					ODO
			We're talking about the attempt on 
			Gul Dukat's life, not the socio-
			political ramifications of the 
			Resistance.

					THRAX
			It's all part of the same problem. 
			When your people resort to 
			terrorism and violence, they're 
			fighting against order... against 
			stability... against the rule of law, 
			and that must stop.

	Odo sits back, studies Thrax for a moment... finds 
	something disquieting in his arguments.

					ODO
			There's more to life than... the 
			rule of law.

					THRAX
			It's been my observation that only 
			the guilty make that kind of 
			statement.

	Odo gets up, very agitated, finally decides he has no 
	choice...

					ODO
			I didn't want to tell you this... 
			I don't know what the consequences
			will be... but we're not 
			terrorists. We're not even 
			Bajorans. There's been a temporal 
			displacement of some kind. We're 
			from the future... we don't belong 
			in this time.

	Thrax has taken this in without batting at eye. Now he 
	leans closer to Odo and studies him calmly.

					THRAX
				(simply)
			I know.
