	Without turning to him, Dax holds up a finger so she 
	can finish.

					KIRA
			What makes you say that?

					DAX
			Instinct.

					WORF
			Jadzia --

					DAX
			What?

					WORF
			You asked to be told when the 
			sensor array became available.

					DAX
			Thank you.
				(to Kira) 
			Odo and a woman -- it was bound to 
			happen sooner or later, right?

					KIRA
			I suppose.

					WORF
			You can begin your experiment at 
			any time.

					DAX
			I'm talking to Kira.

					WORF
			You are not talking, you are 
			gossiping. And besides, Odo is 
			capable of taking care of himself.

	Worf realizes he just let on not only that he was 
	listening, but that he has an opinion about the 
	situation. Dax shoots a look toward a couple of 
	SUPERNUMERARIES at another station.

					DAX
			Don't shout across the room, if 
			you want to gossip with us, come 
			over here.
