DEEP SPACE NINE: "Ties of Blood... " - REV. 2/14/97 - TEASER     5.

5    CONTINUED:

	Kira's got some bad news. She's not sure how to break 
	it to Ghemor, but she figures she may as well get it 
	over with.

					KIRA 
			I thought you should know... I 
			checked with Bajoran Security. 
			They still don't have any leads on 
			your daughter.

					GHEMOR 
			She's dead, isn't she?

					KIRA
			We don't know that. If Iliana's 
			still alive, she's been undercover 
			on Bajor for over a decade. It's 
			not easy to find someone who's 
			been hiding that long.

	But Ghemor's lost hope. He shakes his head.

					GHEMOR 
			I know you're trying to keep my 
			hopes up, but it's time I faced 
			the facts. I'm alone. You're the 
			closest thing to family I have 
			left.

					KIRA
			Bajoran Security hasn't given up 
			yet. And neither should you. You 
			just have to be patient.

	A melancholy expression crosses Ghemor's face.

					GHEMOR 
			I'm afraid patience is for the 
			young.

	But Ghemor doesn't want to dwell on the negatives. He 
	changes the subject.

					GHEMOR 
			What about you, Nerys? How is 
			life treating you?

	Kira tries to be up for Ghemor's sake.
