DEEP SPACE NINE: "Tacking into... " - REV. 03/22/99 - ACT THREE 32-33.  

21A  CONTINUED:

					DAMAR (Cont'd)
			What kind of state tolerates the
			murder of innocent women and
			children? What kind of people
			give those orders?

	A part of Kira knows she should keep her mouth shut,
	but the worry and stress over Odo are fraying her
	nerves and she finds herself saying 

					KIRA
				(pointed)
			Yeah, Damar, what kind of people
			give those orders?

	Kira immediately regrets opening her mouth, but too
	late -- Damar's eyes blaze with fury and for a
	moment, it looks as though he might lunge at her.
	He keeps it under control, however, and simply drops
	the PADD in disgust and revulsion, then heads for
	the cockpit and takes the pilot's seat.

					KIRA
				(to herself)
			That was stupid.

					GARAK
			Not at all. Damar has a
			certain... romanticism about the
			past. He can use a dose of cold
			water.

					KIRA
			I could've picked a better time.

					GARAK
			If Damar is the man to lead a new
			Cardassia... if he's the man we
			hope him to be... then the pain
			of this news made him more
			receptive to what you said, not
			less.

	The console in front of Odo BEEPS.

					ODO
			We're approaching the rendezvous

			point.
