					O'BRIEN
			There's something behind us.

					ODO
			And it's gaining fast.

3    EXT. SPACE - RUNABOUT (OPTICAL)

	as a spacefaring LIFEFORM rapidly approaches. Its
	body is smooth and cylindrical, and it propels
	itself with a pulsating motion. As it "swims"
	alongside the Runabout, we see that it's almost as
	big as the ship.

4    INT. RUNABOUT (OPTICAL)

	THROUGH THE WINDOW, Odo and O'Brien see the creature
	swimming in front of the runabout.

					O'BRIEN
			You think it's friendly?

					ODO
			I hope so.

					O'BRIEN
			It certainly seems to have taken
			an interest in us.

	Suddenly the creature DROPS BACK OUT OF THEIR SIGHT.
	A beat, then it SLAMS against the side of the
	runabout, JOSTLING them in their seats.

					O'BRIEN
			Uh-oh.

					ODO
				(off console)
			It's gone.

					O'BRIEN
			What?

					ODO
				(puzzled)
			According to the sensors, there's
			nothing out there.

					O'BRIEN
			Where'd it go?
