					DULMUR 
				(to Kira)
			Where's Captain Sisko?

	Kira and Dax exchange a look -- Sisko's in for a treat 
	with these two.

3    INT. CAPTAIN'S OFFICE

	SISKO is carrying a mug of coffee as he moves to his 
	desk. Lucsly is taking PADDS out of the briefcase, 
	Dulmur is studying Sisko's personal effects with a keen 
	eye.

					SISKO
			Are you sure you don't want
			anything?

					DULMUR
			Just the truth, Captain.

					SISKO
			You'll get it. Where do you want
			to start?

					DULMUR
			The beginning.

					LUCSLY 
				(somber)
			If there is such a thing.

					DULMUR
			Captain, why did you take the
			Defiant back in time?

					SISKO
			It was an accident.

	Lucsly checks this off on his PADD.

					LUCSLY 
			So you're not contending it was a 
			Predestination Paradox?

					DULMUR
				(explaining for the
				laymen)
			A time loop -- that you were meant
			to go back into the past.

					SISKO
			Uh, no.
