					KIRA
				(very curious about 
				this woman)
			You know that for certain... without 
			even checking.

					KAJADA
			I know Vantika.

	Sisko rises thoughtfully... he's heard enough, tries to make 
	sense of this... paces...

					SISKO
			Miss Kajada, I have to admit I'm 
			having a tough time with your 
			theory...

					KAJADA
			Then you're making a fatal mistake.

					SISKO
			There were three passengers on your 
			ship... two bodies are in our morgue.  
			Unless the ghost of Vantika is 
			wandering our halls...

					KAJADA
			Don't patronize me, Commander...

					SISKO
			Isn't it more likely that some 
			accomplice did this?

	And now she rises...

					KAJADA
			Rao Vantika is obsessed with his own 
			survival.  He's prolonged his life 
			with drugs, cryogenics, transplants.  
			As a medical supervisor in a high 
			security penitentiary, he used 
			prisoners for illegal experiments in 
			cellular longevity.  He organized 
			raids on government labs to steal 
			bio-regenerative research.  I promise 
			you when he started that fire on my 
			ship, he had a plan to survive.  I 
			don't know what that plan was, but 
			I'm convinced it succeeded.
