					SISKO
			I want to speak to Doctor Bashir.

					VANTIKA
			Unfortunately, he's not available at

					VANTIKA
			His body is... how do you humans say

					SISKO

			What have you done to his mind,

					VANTIKA

			unconscious for the time being.  
			However, I might consider leaving 
			his body and returning him to you.  
			But first you must release your

					SISKO
			I can't do that.

					VANTIKA
			If you don't, I'll take this vessel 
			to warp.

					SISKO
			The tractor beam would rip your ship 
			apart.  You and everyone else on 
			board would be killed.

					VANTIKA
			Exactly.  So if you care at all about 
			the welfare of your Doctor, you will 
			release your hold on us.  You have 
			one minute to decide.
