					BASHIR
			I am.  Now I don't have any reason 
			to keep you here.

	Bashir puts away his medical tricorder.

					VASH
				(smiles)
			You almost make me wish I wasn't 
			feeling well.

	Bashir smiles back.

8    INT. COMMANDERS OFFICE

	Dax is making her report to Sisko.

					SISKO
				(confirming)
			... And she claims she knew nothing 
			about the wormhole... ?

					DAX
			She was very surprised when I told 
			her about it.  I don't think she 
			ever expected to see this part of 
			the galaxy again.

					SISKO
			How could she get there in the first 
			place if she didn't go through the 
			wormhole?

					DAX
			She didn't want to talk about it.  
			Said it was a personal matter.

					SISKO
			This doesn't make sense.  A human 
			alone in the Gamma Quadrant for two 
			years.  Let's check her background.  
			See what we can find out about her.

					DAX
			She claims to be an archaeologist.
