					DUKAT 
			If I told my neighbors I had tea 
			with the Kai, they'd never 
			believe it.

	Winn smiles, tries to put him at ease.

					WINN 
			Tell me about yourself, Anjohl. 
			You came here to pray for 
			prosperity. Have things been 
			difficult for you?

					DUKAT 
			Yes... Rogath blight destroyed my 
			entire crop last year.

					WINN
			I'm sorry to hear that...

					DUKAT 
			Most of the farms in Relliketh 
			fell victim to it.

					WINN
				(more to herself) 
			"And the land shall be poisoned 
			by a great evil."
				(off his look) 
			It's from the Ancient Texts. 
			Talnot's Prophecy of the Final 
			Days.

					DUKAT
			I see...

					WINN 
			Tell me more about this blight.

					DUKAT 
			Unfortunately the only way to 
			eradicate it is to burn your 
			fields at the first sign of 
			contamination.

	Winn listens intently, trying to assemble some 
	spiritual message from his words.

					WINN 
			Go on.
