	Later. Bashir is still in the chair, with several
	devices still attached to his head and he's sweating
	heavily. The Two N.D.s are monitoring the equipment
	on the cart. Koval is gone. Bashir looks exhausted
	beyond comprehension. After a beat, Koval ENTERS
	and sits down at the desk. An N.D. hands him a PADD
	and whispers something in his ear. Koval nods and
	waves the man away. He quickly scans the PADD and
	then regards Bashir thoughtfully.

					KOVAL
			It appears that your brain's
			neurocellular structure is not
			susceptible to our scanning
			techniques, evidently a result of
			the genetic enhancements made to
			your parietal cortex.

					BASHIR
				(bleary)
			Sorry.

					KOVAL
			I do have other methods at my
			disposal, but... it would save
			everyone a great deal of trouble
			if you would simply tell me what
			I want to know.

					BASHIR
			You... haven't asked me... any
			questions...

					KOVAL
			I think you know what I'm
			interested in.
