DEEP SPACE NINE: "Tacking into... " - REV. 03/22/99 - ACT ONE    10.

					O'BRIEN
			So where does that leave you?

					BASHIR
			Back to square one. Whoever
			engineered this Shape-shifter
			disease did a good job of
			covering their tracks.

					O'BRIEN
			Julian, it's time to face facts.

			You're not going to pull a rabbit
			out of your medkit. The
			Founders themselves haven't come
			up with a cure -- and they have
			the resources of the entire
			Dominion at their command.
				(beat)
			Now, I know you don't want to
			hear this, but the only way we're
			going to find a cure is to track
			down the man -- or woman -- who
			created this thing in the first
			place.

	Bashir is tired and this is a very old argument by
	now.

					BASHIR
			Miles...

					O'BRIEN
			We have to find a way to get
			inside Section Thirty-one.

					BASHIR
			We tried that. We tried and we
			tried and all we succeeded in
			doing was to waste two weeks
			chasing phantoms from here to
			Vulcan. You want to face facts?
