					O'BRIEN
			Yes, sir.

	Sisko looks at O'Brien with concern. He's been much
	rougher on the Chief than held wanted to be, but
	O'Brien left him with no other options.

					SISKO
			Dismissed.

59   INT. OPS

	O'Brien ENTERS Ops. DAX, who knows more or less what's
	just happened, turns her station over to an N.D. and
	intercepts O'Brien.

					DAX
			Chief, I was just about to head
			down to the Replimat and I was
			wondering...

	O'Brien knows Dax is trying to make an excuse to talk
	to him, but right now, that's the last thing he wants.

						O'BRIEN
				(cuts her off)
			Not right now, commander.

	O'Brien walks right by her and EXITS into the
	turbolift.

60   INT. TURBOLIFT

	As he ENTERS, he yanks off his combadge and flings it
	into the wall of the lift.

					O'BRIEN
				(to com)
			Promenade.

61   INT. INFIRMARY 

	Bashir is at work, scanning some test samples. O'Brien
	comes storming in.

					O'BRIEN
			What the hell did you say to him?

	Bashir looks up at O'Brien, disappointed, but not
	surprised to be having this confrontation.
