					KIRA
			I think she's right, Julian.  I think 
			Bareil would want the positronic 
			implant.

					BASHIR
			Kira... if I go through with this, 
			the man who wakes up may not be the 
			man you used to know.

					KIRA
			I realize that... but I know how 
			important this was to him... and I 
			know he wouldn't just want to be put 
			into stasis indefinitely, waiting 
			for a medical solution that may never 
			come.
				(beat)
			Do the operation, Julian.  Let him 
			finish what he started.

	There's a long beat, then Sisko steps forward.

					SISKO
			I'd like to talk to the doctor alone 
			for a moment.

	Kira and Winn EXIT.

					SISKO
			I just want you to know that as far 
			as I'm concerned, your word is final 
			in this situation.  If you feel it's 
			wrong to proceed with the operation, 
			then that's the way it'll be.  Kai 
			Winn can protest all she wants... 
			but I'll support you.

					BASHIR
			Thank you.

	Bashir EXITS.
