			I told them we'd transport them off

					BASHIR

			I only meant...

					SISKO
			Whatever crimes they've committed 
			have been paid for a hundred times 
			over.  They've been altered somehow 
			and abandoned by their world... I 
			believe the Federation would recognize 
			them as separate and unique.

					BASHIR

	Shel-la and three lieutenants (including Nima) stand by one 
	pole near to, but clearly separated from, Zlangco and three 
	of his lieutenants who stand by the other pole... all are 
	armed with a variety of hand weapons... knives, swords, 
	tomahawks and the like...

					ZLANGCO
			So you are the leader of the aliens...

					SISKO
			Benjamin Sisko, Commander of a 
			Federation space station...

					ZLANGCO
			Federation?
