        DEEP SPACE NINE: "Wrongs... " - REV. 1/20/98 - ACT TWO       27.

41A  CONTINUED:

					MERU 
			Do you know how long it's been 
			since I've seen fresh moba?

	She takes a ravenous bite, then two more before 
	offering the other piece to Kira. Kira takes a bite, 
	though she hasn't had much of an appetite since she 
	opened up the orb box.

					KIRA 
			Nice.

					MERU 
			Nice? Look at all this... 
			katterpod beans, hasperat, 
			veklava, a pot of deka tea... we 
			could live on this for a year!

	Meru finishes up the moba, then digs into the hasperat 
	with her fingers. Tears of joy and sorrow run down her 
	face.

					KIRA 
			Easy. You don't want to make 
			yourself sick.

					MERU 
			Sick from too much food? That 
			would be a change.
				(looking at the food) 
			I only wish Taban and the children 
			could be here...

	And suddenly she is overwhelmed with emotion. She 
	cries openly, falling into Kira's arms.

					MERU
				(trying to convince 
				herself) 
			The Cardassians said they'd take 
			care of them... maybe they will.

					KIRA 
			I wouldn't count on it. We need 
			to find away off this station. 
			Once we do that, we can figure out 
			a way to free your family.

					MERU 
			Then what?
