	A beat, then Patrick comes out with it.

					PATRICK 
			They want the Kabrel System.

					BASHIR
			How do you know that?

					PATRICK 
			They kept avoiding it with their 
			eyes.

					BASHIR
			You're sure, Patrick?

					PATRICK 
				(certain) 
			They kept avoiding it.

					JACK 
			Told you they were up to 
			something.

	Bashir considers, intrigued by what Patrick and Jack 
	are saying.

					BASHIR 
			End program.

	Damar, Weyoun, the table, chairs and monitor all 
	DISAPPEAR.

					BASHIR 
			All right... they want the Kabrel 
			System -- why?

					LAUREN 
			I don't know, but they're willing 
			to give up a lot to get it. The 
			mizinite deposits on Holna Four 
			alone could keep their shipyards 
			running for years.

	Jack leaps on this --

					JACK 
			Yes, yes. That's a typical 
			Dominion strategy -- they offer to 
			give up something valuable to hide 
			the fact that they want something 
			even more valuable in the long 
			term.
