	Kira thinks quickly how to keep Bashir alive, what argument 
	would appeal to her if the decision were hers...

					KIRA
			No.  Don't.  If you knew him... he 
			is an arrogant Terran who has lived 
			a privileged life on my side.  Now, 
			he can see how the other half lives.  
			You could influence his kind more 
			than anyone.

					KIRA II
				(beat, considering)
			No, it's too dangerous.  The Klingons 
			and the Cardassians would never be 
			satisfied.

					KIRA
			Are you the leader of this sector or 
			not... ?

	Kira II smiles at her...

					KIRA II
			You know how to manipulate me.

					KIRA
			I know how I'd feel in your place.  
			I wouldn't give a damn what the 
			Cardassians or Klingons wanted.

					KIRA II
			You're right.  I don't.

	She laughs.  Moves to the door.  A Cardassian moves quickly 
	to take her orders...

					KIRA II
			Find this attractive young woman 
			some quarters.

	He nods, prepares to escort Kira away...

					KIRA II
			I'll call for you later.

	On Kira's reaction...

									FADE OUT.
