					BASHIR
			In my case, you would get a firm,
			"no." But you've answered my
			question with a question.

	Beat.

					CRETAK
			I try not to predict the future.

					BASHIR
			What about Chairman Koval?

					CRETAK
			You tell me. You just spoke with
			him -- that's more than I've done
			in six months.

					BASHIR
			I take it you don't get along?

					CRETAK
			We have different views.

					BASHIR
			Which are... ?

					CRETAK
				(wry)
			State secrets.

	Bashir smiles.

									CUT TO:

18   INT. ROMULAN LECTURE HALL (OPTICAL)

	A short time later. N.D. Romulans and Federation
	personnel file into the room and take up seats.
	Bashir is going over his notes near a lectern set up
	in front of a wall monitor. There's one seat
	noticeably empty in the front row. When everyone is
	settled, Bashir steps up to the lectern.

					BASHIR
			Good afternoon. I'm Doctor
			Julian Bashir from Deep Space
			Nine and I'll be speaking to you
			on the subject of Dominion
			biogenic weapons.
