					NERAL
			Why her?

					BASHIR
			I had no one else to turn to. I
			was unable to contact Deep Space
			Nine, and I couldn't trust anyone
			aboard the Bellerophon.

					NERAL
			But you felt that you could trust
			a Romulan senator?

					BASHIR
			Yes. For all our differences, I
			do respect her.

	Neral looks over at Cretak for a beat.

					NERAL
			Continue.

					BASHIR
			Well... for reasons that are
			extremely complicated... I came to
			believe that there's a traitor in
			your government working for
			Section Thirty-one. I asked the
			Senator to obtain the database so
			we could unmask this person and
			prevent the assassination.
