			I was so afraid that the others 
			would see me and think I was 
			nervous, that I kept biting my 
			fingers to keep the blood flowing.
				(beat)
			We must've been out there for 
			three, four hours before the 
			skimmer appeared and set down 
			right where Furel said it would. 
			And when the hatch opened and that
			first Cardassian stepped out, I 
			just started firing. And I didn't 
			stop until I'd discharged the 
			entire power cell.
				(beat)
			When it was over, I was so 
			relieved that I didn't let anyone 
			down that I was almost giddy. 
			Furel kept telling me to stop 
			grinning, that it made me look 
			even younger, but I couldn't help 
			it. I was one of them -- I was in 
			the Resistance.
				(beat, re: earring)
			Lupaza made this for me... out of 
			some metal from that skimmer...

	A quiet beat as Kira squeezes the earring in her hand 
	and fights back the grief.

			How were they killed?

					ODO
			Someone attached a small hunter
			probe to the hull of a Talavian 
			freighter. When the ship docked 
			at the station, the probe detached 
			itself and then began a visual 
			scan of every room in the Habitat 
			Ring.
				(beat)
			Once the probe found its assigned 
			targets, it attached itself to the 
			window, and exploded.

			Do you have any leads?
