DEEP SPACE NINE: "Inquisition" - REV. 1/29/98 - ACT THREE    38A.

29   CONTINUED:

					BASHIR 
			Where's Captain Sisko? Does he 
			know about this?

					SLOAN 
			It's none of his concern. Not 
			anymore.

					BASHIR
				(alarmed) 
			You have no right to do this.

					SLOAN
			Oh, but I do...

	Sloan holds out his hand, which Chandler fills with a 
	PADD.

					SLOAN
				(reads from PADD) 
			Starfleet Special Order Six-Six-
			Seven-One-Five, gives me authority 
			to neutralize security threats to 
			Deep Space Nine by "whatever means 
			necessary."
				(to Bashir) 
			Doctor, you're about to spend the 
			rest of this war in a maximum 
			security cell. Unless...

	Sloan holds his hand out and Chandler hands him another 
	PADD, which he extends toward Bashir.

					SLOAN
			... you'd care to add your 
			thumbprint to this confession.
				(off Bashir's outraged 
				stare) 
			We can reword it if it doesn't 
			meet your exacting standards.

	A beat as Bashir stares angrily at his tormentor. Then --

					BASHIR 
			You can take your confession and 
			toss it out the nearest airlock.

					SLOAN
				(grim smile) 
			I thought so.
				(to Chandler) 
			Take him to the shuttle.
