					ARISSA 
			I don't know.

					ODO
				(confused) 
			Then why did you come meet him?

					ARISSA 
			He told me he had information... 
			information I could use to break 
			away from Draim, free and clear.

					ODO 
			What made you believe he was 
			telling the truth?

					ARISSA 
			I don't know. I just did. I'm 
			not even sure how he knew I wanted 
			to get out.

	Odo is finding this all very strange, tries to make 
	sense of it.

					ODO
			Did he tell you what this 
			information was?

					ARISSA 
			No. But for some reason I decided 
			to trust him. I know it sounds 
			insane, but I guess I was 
			desperate.

					ODO 
			Did you tell anyone you were 
			coming here?


					ARISSA 
			No. Draim must've monitored my 
			communications. How else could he 
			have gotten his people here before 
			I arrived.

					ODO
			You think Draim had Tauvid killed 
			to keep you from getting this 
			datacrystal?
