DEEP SPACE NINE: "What You... " - REV. 04/26/99 - ACT SEVEN     80.

					FEMALE SHAPE-SHIFTER
			You're looking well, Odo.


					ODO
			Thank you for seeing me.

					FEMALE SHAPE-SHIFTER
			It's always good to see you. But
			I have no intention of
			surrendering my forces. If I
			did, it would be a sign of
			weakness... an invitation to the
			Solids to cross into the Gamma
			Quadrant and destroy the Great
			Link.

					ODO
			Believe me, I'm well aware that
			the Federation has its flaws...
			but a desire for conquest isn't
			one of them.

					FEMALE SHAPE-SHIFTER
			And what of the Klingons and the
			Romulans... can you make the same
			claim for them?

					ODO
			The Klingon and Romulan Empires
			are in no shape to wage a war
			against anyone... besides, the
			Federation wouldn't allow it.

					FEMALE SHAPE-SHIFTER
			The Dominion has spent the last
			two years trying to destroy the
			Federation... and now you're
			asking me to put our fate in
			their hands?

					ODO
				(simply)
			Yes.

					FEMALE SHAPE-SHIFTER
			I can't do that, Odo. I don't
			share your faith in Solids.

					ODO
			Perhaps I can change your mind
				(holding out his
				hand)
			Link with me.
