14   EXT. TOWN SQUARE - DAY - CONTINUOUS

	Yedrin looks at our people's faces, can see that 
	they're not about to accept this claim at face value. 
	He smiles, gestures to Dax's TRICORDER.

					YEDRIN
			Go ahead, Jadzia. Scan me --
			you'll find the Dax symbiont right 
			here.

	He pats his abdomen. Dax glances to Sisko, who nods 
	she go ahead.

					DAX
				(off tricorder)
			It's true.

					YEDRIN
			The symbiont has been passed down 
			to Jadzia's descendents for three 
			generations.
				(smiles) 
			I remember all of you like it was 
			yesterday.

	Sisko looks at Yedrin, struggling to make sense of it 
	all.

					YEDRIN 
			If you scan Miranda, you'll find 
			that her DNA is substantially 
			similar to the chief's.

					DAX
				(off tricorder) 
			She's an O'Brien, all right.

	Miranda hastens to point out --

					MIRANDA 
			And a Tannenbaum, too.

	Miranda, like the rest of the descendents, is not just 
	aware of her lineage, she's proud of it.
