			His vital signs are deteriorating 
			too quickly, we can't wait any longer.
				(to Nurse)
			Prep him for surgery.

	As they rush about and prepare Bareil for surgery...

7    INT. INFIRMARY

	O'BRIEN ENTERS and hands Sisko a PADD.  Winn is sitting on 
	the edge of the bed now as Kira looks on.

					O'BRIEN
			The report on the transport, sir.

					SISKO
			Give me the short version.

					O'BRIEN
			There was a molecular fracture in 
			one of the warp plasma conduits.  It 
			was only a matter of time until it 
			gave way... once it collapsed the 
			entire relay system exploded.

					WINN
			Was it sabotage?

					O'BRIEN
			I don't think so.

					KIRA
				(to Winn)
			Why would you suspect sabotage?

	Winn glances around.

					WINN
			I'd prefer to discuss that with the 
			Emissary in private.
