DEEP SPACE NINE: "Inquisition" - REV. 1/29/98 - ACT THREE     31.

26   CONTINUED:

					SISKO
			I thought you should know that Odo 
			did some checking. Sloan had a 
			son in Starfleet -- a transport 
			pilot. He was killed by a 
			Dominion patrol.

					BASHIR
				(nods) 
			Maybe he thinks I supplied the 
			information that helped them 
			target his son's ship.

					SLOAN'S VOICE 
			That's exactly what I think.

	Sisko and Bashir turn to find that Sloan has entered 
	the room.

					SLOAN
				(continuing) 
			When my son's convoy dropped out 
			of warp to rendezvous with a 
			Klingon bird of prey, they found 
			three Dominion attack ships 
			waiting for them instead.

					SISKO
			I'm sorry for your loss. But 
			don't you think your son's death 
			indicates a conflict of interest 
			with your investigation?

					SLOAN 
			I like to think that it gives me 
			an added incentive to get to the 
			truth. Now what is it you want?

	Sisko has to fight to control his temper. Sloan's 
	words gall him, but he knows it would play into Sloan's 
	hands to allow himself to be baited.

					SISKO
			I need to talk to my chief medical 
			officer in private.

					SLOAN 
			I can understand that. But 
			security protocols require that no 
			one speak to the prisoner without 
			clearance from me.

	This is more than Sisko can take.
