46   CONTINUED:	(6)

	He falls to the ground, dead. Kira looks at him for a 
	moment, catching her breath and sagging against the 
	workbench.


									CUT TO:

47   EXT. SPACE - THE DEFIANT (OPTICAL)

	In orbit around the barren planet seen earlier.

48   INT. SILARAN'S HOUSE (OPTICAL)

	Sisko, Bashir and Odo MATERIALIZE in the room. 
	Everyone, except Odo, has a phaser out and ready. They 
	scan the room quickly, then relax when they see...

49   ANGLE - KIRA

	Sitting on a chair looking down at the dead body of
	Silaran. She glances up at them as they move to her. 
	Bashir whips out his tricorder and gives her a quick 
	scan.

					ODO
			Are you all right?

	She nods.

					BASHIR
				(off tricorder)
			She's fine. But there's a large 
			amount of merfadon in her system.

					SISKO
			Merfadon?

 					BASHIR
			It's a sedative... but the makara 
			herbs she's been taking have 
			counteracted the effects.

	Kira still hasn't made eye contact with anyone.

					SISKO
				(re: Silaran)
			I take it this is our assassin?

	She nods again.

					ODO
				(to Kira)
			Why did he give you a sedative?
