					EPRAN
			What will you do? See how loud we 
			scream as the Blight burns through 
			us?

	This brings appreciative laughs from the gathering 
	crowd.

					BASHIR
			I have medicines that dull pain; 
			I have equipment unlike anything 
			on your world.

	He surveys the crowd, spots a young boy with his arm in 
	a sling.

					BASHIR
			How'd you like me to fix that arm 
			so you can go play with your friends?

	The boy hesitates... Bashir moves to him, gently 
	removes his sling.

					BASHIR
			I'm not going to hurt you...

	He takes out his tricorder, scans the bone.

					BASHIR
			You've got a fracture right here. 
			I'll bet it hurts.

	The boy nods... Bashir passes a DEVICE over his arm, 
	bathing it in a warm GLOW...

					BASHIR
			How's it feel now?

	The boy flexes his arm... a look of utter astonishment 
	crosses his features -- he's fine. He scampers off, 
	happy as can be. A hush of awe comes over the crowd...

					EPRAN
				(amazed)
			It isn't possible...

					EKORIA
			It is. You saw it. He can find 
			a cure for us. But he needs our 
			help.

	Epran seems ready to consider it, but then Trevean 
	steps out of the crowd...

					TREVEAN 
			Fixing a broken bone and curing 
			the Blight are two different 
			things.
