	Odo, Kira and SISKO are replaying Kira's message.

					SCRAMBLED VOICE
			That's one.

					ODO
			As you might've guessed, there's 
			no point of origin listed in the 
			computer log.

					SISKO
			When did we receive it?

					KIRA 
			It came in over the primary 
			subspace antenna at thirteen forty-
			one hours. That's almost the same 
			moment Latha was killed on Bajor.

					SISKO
				(to Odo)
			And you think this is a threat 
			against all the former members of 
			the Shakaar Resistance Cell?

					ODO
			That's my working theory, but I'm 
			not ruling anything out.

					SISKO
				(to Kira)
			Did anyone else receive this message?

					KIRA 
			Not that we know of. So there's 
			obviously some connection to me, 
			but I'm not sure what. I haven't 
			even spoken to Latha in two years.
