DEEP SPACE NINE: "Chimera" - REV. 12/16/98 - ACT TWO        18.

18   CONTINUED:

	This is the first Kira's heard of it, and she's not
	sure what to make of it.

					KIRA
			I see.

	Odo realizes why she might be worried about it.

					ODO
			There's nothing to worry about.
			He's not a Founder, he's not
			trying to lure me to the
			Dominion.

	She nods, trying to shake off the unease she feels.

					ODO
			The Link is part of what we are.
			It comes as naturally to us as
			talking does to humanoids.

	Kira can't help feeling a little insecure about the
	fact that she's not capable of sharing it with him.

					KIRA
			It's a little more... personal
			than talking, isn't it?

					ODO
			I suppose...

					KIRA
			So. Do I get to meet him?

	Odo has the uneasy feeling that this meeting may not
	go well.

					ODO
			If you like.

					KIRA
			I would.

					ODO
			Then I'll arrange it.

	And off this moment...

19   INT. QUARK'S

	Kira is at the bar with BASHIR, EZRI and O'Brien.
