	The Nurse is a little taken by surprise by this order, 
	but EXITS as he's told.  Bashir immediately moves to Jadzia's 
	side and starts scanning her.

					RENHOL
			I don't have time for this, Commander.  
			The symbiont is in danger.

					SISKO
			So is Jadzia.

					RENHOL
			I can't do anything for her.

	Sisko fixes her with a look.

					SISKO
			Can't?  -- or won't.

					RENHOL
			I resent that implication.

					SISKO
			And I resent having to watch my 
			friend die just so you can protect 
			your secret.

					RENHOL
			What secret?

					SISKO
			I think you know -- and the thought 
			of it becoming public scares the 
			hell out of you.

					RENHOL
			Commander, I don't know what you're 
			talking about.

					SISKO
			I'm talking about the fact that eighty-
			six years ago the Symbiosis Commission 
			mistakenly gave the Dax symbiont to 
			Joran Belar.

					RENHOL
			I don't recall ever seeing any mention 
			of a Joran Dax in our records.
