	Establishing the station.

5    INT. CAPTAIN'S OFFICE

	SISKO is listening to Zimmerman explain why he's here. 
	Bashir is sitting nearby and obviously knows what's 
	going on and is excited.

					ZIMMERMAN
				(to Sisko)
			You're familiar, of course, with 
			the Emergency Medical Holographic 
			Program?

					SISKO
			I've heard of it.
				(remembering)
			It's a hologram designed to... 
			provide assistance... during 
			emergencies in Sickbay.

					ZIMMERMAN
			It does much more than "provide 
			assistance."

					BASHIR
			The holographic doctor can 
			literally replace a starship's 
			medical officer during an 
			emergency.

					ZIMMERMAN
			I'm surprised you don't have one 
			on the station.

					SISKO
			The station facilities are 
			Cardassian in origin. Much of our 
			equipment is incompatible with 
			Federation technology.
