	Off Odo as he gazes out at the stars...

45   EXT. SPACE - DEEP SPACE NINE (OPTICAL)

	Re-establishing.

46   INT. HOLDING CELLS (OPTICAL)

	Kira ENTERS and approaches the Guard at his console.

					DEPUTY
			Can I help you, colonel?

					KIRA
			I need to talk to the prisoner.
				(beat)
			Alone.

					DEPUTY
			Aye, sir.

	He heads for the door and EXITS. Kira moves to the
	Holding Cell, looks in on the Changeling.

	They regard each other for a long beat, then Kira
	reaches and works the control PANEL on the wall and
	the forcefield FRITZES OFF. He looks at her with
	surprise.

					KIRA
			Go to the third planet in the
			Koralis System. There's an
			orbital tether running down to an
			abandoned mining complex. I'll
			tell Odo to meet you there.

	He stares at her suspiciously.

					CHANGELING
			Is this some kind of trick?

	Kira shakes her head in disbelief.

					KIRA
			Do you want to get out of here or
			not?

	He decides she's telling the truth, steps toward the
	entrance to the holding cell.
