7    INT. RUNABOUT - MOMENTS LATER

	O'Brien keeps his weapon trained on the intruder,
	whose eyes are fixed on Odo. The Changeling carries
	himself with a proud bearing, and when he speaks
	it's with a direct, urgent manner.

					O'BRIEN
			Stay where you are, or I'll fire.

	The Changeling ignores him, stares at Odo.

					CHANGELING
			You -- you're a Metamorph?

					ODO
			I'm a changeling, yes.

	The Changeling can't believe he's finally found
	another of his kind.

					CHANGELING
				(to Odo)
			Tell the mono-form to put down
			its weapon.

	Odo isn't about to do any such thing until he gets
	some answers.

					ODO
			Why did you board our ship?

					CHANGELING
			Because I sensed you were here.
			I had to see if it was true -- if
			I'd finally found another
			Metamorph.
