					EDDINGTON 
			He felt the same way about you.
				(a beat) 
			He thought you were wrong about 
			the Maquis. But he forgave you. 
			Which is ironic, considering you 
			never forgave him. You can't 
			forgive any of us. And not 
			because we betrayed Starfleet or 
			the Federation... but because we 
			betrayed you.

	Sisko doesn't answer this. He's still reeling from the 
	news of Cal Hudson's death.

					EDDINGTON
				(going in for the kill) 
			That's what this is all about. 
			Your ego. Where Benjamin Sisko 
			leads, all must follow.

	Sisko turns back to Eddington.

					SISKO
			Is that what you believe?

	Eddington gets in Sisko's face.

					EDDINGTON 
			It's the truth, isn't it? The 
			Maquis were never much of a threat 
			to the Federation. But we were a 
			threat to you. Our existence was 
			a stain on your record. And you 
			couldn't have that. Not when you 
			were so busy measuring yourself 
			for an admiral's uniform.

	Sisko's had enough.

					SISKO 
			You want to blame me for what 
			happened to the Maquis? Fine. Go 
			ahead. Blame me. Blame 
			Starfleet. Blame the Federation. 
			Blame everyone but Michael 
			Eddington.

					EDDINGTON
				(defensive) 
			The Maquis won its greatest 
			victories under my leadership.
