	FADE IN:

32   INT. COMMANDER'S OFFICE

	Sisko, Kira, Winn and Bashir.

					SISKO
			Will he regain consciousness?

					BASHIR
			Not in his present condition.

					WINN
			You were able to replace some of his 
			internal organs with artificial 
			implants... could you do something 
			similar with the damaged areas of 
			his brain?

	Bashir looks troubled at this.

					BASHIR
			I'm not sure we should pursue that 
			option.

					WINN
			But it is an option.

					BASHIR
			There have been cases where small 
			portions of the brain have been 
			replaced with implants.  But in this 
			instance I'd have to replace his 
			entire left hemisphere.  There's a 
			good chance he might lose something 
			in the process.
