      DEEP SPACE NINE: "Inquisition" - REV. 1/29/98 - ACT THREE     33.

27   CONTINUED:	(3)

	Sloan's scored a point and he knows it. He eyes Sisko 
	for a beat, then decides to move forward.

					SLOAN
				(picking up another
				PADD)
			Let's move on.
				(to Bashir) 
			Doctor, we spoke yesterday about 
			a group of genetically enhanced 
			patients that you brought to the 
			station. Why, exactly, did you 
			decide to work with them?

					BASHIR
			They'd been institutionalized most 
			of their lives. I thought I might 
			be able to help them assimilate 
			into society.

					SLOAN 
			A laudable goal. But what I find 
			puzzling is the way you went about 
			it. These misfits had been 
			sheltered from the outside world 
			for as long as they could 
			remember, yet you chose to bombard 
			them with information about the 
			war with the Dominion. Frankly, 
			I'm surprised it didn't scare them 
			into deeper isolation.

	Bashir feels confident enough in what he did to go on 
	the offensive --

					BASHIR 
			I was trying to engage them--- and 
			it worked.

					SLOAN 
			Is that why you convinced 
			Starfleet Command to give them 
			access to classified battle plans?

					BASHIR 
			Starfleet was interested in 
			hearing our ideas on how to win 
			the war.
