       DEEP SPACE NINE: "Chimera" - REV. 12/16/98 - ACT THREE       26.

22   INT. HABITAT RING CORRIDOR

	as Odo approaches the door to his quarters.

23   INT. ODO'S QUARTERS (OPTICAL)

	as Odo ENTERS and stops short when he sees a FLAME
	burning in the center of the room, suspended about
	a few feet off the ground.

					ODO
				(instinctively)
			Computer, activate fire
			suppression sys--

	He trails off when the FLAME FLICKERS brightly,
	almost as if in reaction to his words. Then it hits
	him -- fire doesn't float in the air, the flame is
	the Changeling.

					ODO
			Laas... ?

24   CLOSE - THE FLAME (PRACTICAL EFFECT)

	as it FLICKERS again in response.

25   ODO

	stares at it, takes a step closer.

				ODO
			I need to talk to you...

	We hear the SOUND of an off-screen morph, then cut
	to --

26   THE CHANGELING (OPTICAL)

	as he just finishes MORPHING into humanoid form. He
	studies Odo for a beat with a knowing smile.

					CHANGELING
			You didn't realize it was me.
			Did you even know we could exist
			as fire?
