73   INT. RUNABOUT YANGTZEE KIANG (OPTICAL)


	Two transporter beams MATERIALIZE into Lursa and B'Etor.  
	Lursa carries a slender metallic cylinder.  Tahna reaches 
	for his second shoulder bag -- hands it to B'Etor.  She'll 
	immediately examine its contents, during:

					TAHNA
			Thirteen kilograms of gold-press 
			Latinum; as promised.

					LURSA
			This is yours.

	She tosses the metallic cylinder, with no respect for its 
	contents, at Tahna who catches it deftly, smiles.  B'Etor 
	nods to Lursa -- everything looks okay.

					B'ETOR
				(to her own combadge)
			'eH.  HImaH!

	And Lursa and B'Etor -- now carrying the "knapsack" -- 
	DEMATERIALIZE.  Kira looks at the cylinder... she already 
	knows what it is, but must play dumb.

					KIRA
			What is it?

					TAHNA
			Bajoran independence.

74   INT. RUNABOUT GANGES

	Sisko and O'Brien as before.

					O'BRIEN
				(off monitor)
			Bird of Prey is moving off... and 
			cloaking.
