	FADE IN:

1    EXT. SPACE - DEEP SPACE NINE (OPTICAL)

	An alien transport ship approaches the station.

2    INT. DOCKING RING CORRIDOR

	KIRA, DAX, and WORF walk together down the corridor. 
	Kira seems excited about something and is giving some 
	last minute instructions to Worf and Dax. (We may not 
	notice it right away, but she's wearing her Cardassian 
	bracelet from "SECOND SKIN.")

					KIRA 
			I want him treated like a visiting 
			head of state. Full 
			communications and computer 
			access, any kind of assistance he 
			might need from the station's 
			crew...

					DAX
				(playful) 
			You should've let us know he was 
			coming sooner. I think we've got 
			a red carpet in storage somewhere.

	But Kira's in no mood for jokes.

					KIRA 
			Dax, this is important. Tekeny 
			Ghemor led the dissident movement 
			against Cardassia's Central 
			Command. And now that Dukat and 
			the Dominion have taken over, 
			there's no one better qualified to 
			lead the opposition.

					DAX
			Besides... he's practically your 
			father.

	Worf looks surprised. That's a new one on him.
