					DAX 
			I guess he's running late.

					SISKO
			He's never late.

					DAX
			He never spent the night with a 
			woman before.

					SISKO
			A woman?
				(thinks it over) 
			That's nice.
				(off Kira's look) 
			Isn't it?

	The turbolift rises up and Odo ENTERS.

					WORF

				(a warning to all) 
			Constable.

					ODO
			Good morning.

	Odo's hair is a bit mussed, and he has a vaguely guilty 
	look on his face.

					SISKO
			Starfleet Intelligence is ready 
			when you are.

	Sisko shoots Dax and Kira a look before disappearing 
	inside his office with Odo.

					DAX
				(to Kira) 
			Did you see the look on Odo's 
			face? I'm telling you, something 
			happened.

	Kira turns to Worf... a beat, then despite his 
	reluctance to get involved, he nods his agreement. Off 
	this moment...
