       DEEP SPACE NINE: "Inquisition" - REV. 1/29/98 - ACT TWO      20.
                            ACT TWO                             

	FADE IN:

21   INT. WARDROOM 

	as Chandler and Kagan escort Bashir into the room. 
	Sloan is at the replicator, withdrawing a CUP of 
	coffee, his jacket now closed -- the picture of a spit-
	and-polish officer. He ignores Bashir's entrance. In 
	a maneuver that the internal affairs team has practiced 
	to well-oiled perfection, Chandler guides the doctor to 
	a chair while Kagan takes a position near the wall 
	behind him. The second everyone has settled in place, 
	Sloan turns to face Bashir.

					SLOAN 
			Did you get your breakfast, 
			doctor?

	Sloan comes to a stop on the opposite side of the table 
	and smiles expectantly at Bashir. Bashir senses Sloan 
	is waiting for him to complain about the gag'h, and 
	refuses to give him the satisfaction.

						BASHIR 
			Yes, I did.

	Sloan studies him for another beat, then nods.

					SLOAN 
			Good.

	Sloan sits down on the edge of the Wardroom table, 
	effectively maintaining a dominant position relative to 
	the seated Bashir. He picks up one of the many PADDS 
	arrayed on the table and studies it while sipping his 
	coffee.

					SLOAN 
			I was going over my notes from our 
			last conversation and there are a 
			few things I'd like you to 
			clarify.

					BASHIR
			Oh?

					SLOAN 
			Do you have a problem with that?

					BASHIR
			Not at all.
