			Mister O'Brien, drop the field.

					O'BRIEN'S COM VOICE
			Aye, sir.

78   ODO

	laying wet and exhausted on his back... no memory of what 
	occurred... just panic in his eyes.  Mora is the first one 
	there... Odo stares up at him...

					MORA
			We have a lot to talk about.

	And then Mora puts his arms under Odo's limp body and picks 
	him up like a child... and the crowd that has gathered, parts 
	as Mora carries him across the Promenade toward the 
	Infirmary...

79   EXT. SPACE - DEEP SPACE NINE (OPTICAL)

80   INT. INFIRMARY

	Odo is lying down, stronger... Bashir is checking on readings, 
	looks encouraged... Mora is observing...

					BASHIR
			I'm not going to try to explain 
			exactly what happened to you, Odo... 
			because I haven't the vaguest idea... 
			I can tell you with Doctor Mora's 
			help we've managed to eliminate all 
			traces of the gas from your cellular 
			structure... I'll prescribe rest 
			because it's hard for a doctor to go 
			wrong with that one... but otherwise, 
			there's not much more I can do for 
			you.

					ODO
			Thank you, Doctor.

	Bashir nods, gives the two of them some time alone.  After a 
	beat...

					MORA
			I'm going home.
