	Riker considers Kira for a moment.

					RIKER
			You spent most of your life fighting 
			the Cardassians.  I know you 
			sympathize with what we're trying to 
			do here.

					KIRA
			I fought the Cardassians because 
			they invaded my home.  You don't 
			live in the Demilitarized Zone... 
			you don't have any family there... 
			why are you in this fight?

					RIKER
			People are dying in the Demilitarized 
			Zone and Starfleet isn't doing a 
			thing about it.

					KIRA
			Taking the Defiant just raises the 
			stakes.  The Cardassians are going 
			to send a fleet after you... and 
			they're going to kill more people 
			hunting you down than they did in 
			those border raids.

					RIKER
				(cool)
			You're assuming the Defiant will 
			stay in the Demilitarized Zone.
