DEEP SPACE NINE: "Chimera" - REV. 12/16/98 - ACT ONE         7.

7    CONTINUED:	(2)

	The Changeling tries to make sense of what he's
	being told.

					CHANGELING
			That would explain why I was
			alone on Varala.
				(to Odo)
			I didn't even know what I was at
			first... or that I could assume
			other forms.

	Odo can't help but be drawn in by someone who shared
	the same experiences he did.

					ODO
			I was the same way.

	O'Brien can see that Odo's buying the Changeling's
	story, but he's not convinced.

					O'BRIEN
			Odo, I hate to interrupt... but
			shouldn't we get him in a
			containment field until we're
			sure he's telling the truth?

	Part of Odo knows he's right, but his instincts are
	telling him it isn't necessary.

					CHANGELING
				(to Odo)
			I'll allow myself to be taken
			prisoner to show my good faith,
			but only if you vouch for my
			safety.
				(eyeing O'Brien)
			I don't trust humanoids.

	Odo nods, sealing the deal. Off this moment...
