DEEP SPACE NINE: "A Simple... " - REV. 1/20/97 - ACT ONE      15.

14   INSERT

	A DATAPORT implanted in her skin, just behind her ear. 
	She gingerly touches the skin around it with her
	finger.

15   SCENE

					ARISSA 
			The security protocols protecting 
			your computer generated some nasty 
			feedback.

					ODO
			I know.
				(pleased with himself)
			I designed them that way.

	She regards him for a moment, impressed with his 
	handiwork.

					ARISSA
			Nice job. I couldn't stay 
			interfaced long enough to break 
			past the encryption lockouts.

					ODO
			That was the idea.
				(beat)
			Tell me...
				(glances at PADD) 
			Arissa, what's a nice woman like 
			you doing with a dataport?

					ARISSA
			They're not illegal.

					ODO 
			They ought to be. People tend to 
			use them to access information 
			other people don't want them to 
			access.

					ARISSA
				(wry)
			I've heard that.

	Odo sees that she has no intention of giving anything 
	away. He glances at the PADD the Deputy gave him.

					ODO 
			This Idanian you were waiting for 
			in Quark's... Tauvid Rem. What 
			were you meeting him about?

					ARISSA 
			A personal matter.
