					BASHIR
				(off console)

			The transfer's complete... I'm
			going to get her into surgery.

	Odo looks at her for a last time, then moves away... 
	off Bashir as he sets to work...

74   INT. ODO'S QUARTERS

	where a pensive Odo is looking out at the stars, lost 
	in thought. After a long moment, the door CHIMES.

					ODO
			Yes.

	The door OPENS and Arissa ENTERS. She's now Idanian, 
	thanks to Bashir's surgery. Her former appearance as 
	a human was just part of her cover.

					ODO
			Arissa...

	He moves toward her... he wants to take her in his 
	arms, but something in her face stops him...

					ODO
			That's not even your name, is it?

					ARISSA
				(shakes her head)
			There's something you need to
			know...

	Odo waits, he knows it's not going to be good...

					ARISSA
			I'm married... I have a husband.

	He looks down, this is what he was afraid of...

					ODO
			I see...

					ARISSA
			I'm so sorry.

	Odo tries to stay composed, but it isn't easy.

					ODO
			Don't be. You didn't know.

	She looks at him, knowing what he's going through, and 
	it's tearing her up...
