DEEP SPACE NINE: "Inquisition" - REV. 1/29/98 - ACT THREE 35.
27 CONTINUED: (5)
SISKO (Cont 'd)
So far, your case is based on
circumstantial evidence and
speculation.
SLOAN
What other kind of case can I make
against a man who's covered his
tracks so well?
SISKO
That's a circular argument and you
know it.
SLOAN
Captain, if Doctor Bashir had been
involved in one or two
questionable incidents, I can
understand how you might be able
to dismiss them. But the sheer
number of incidents form a pattern
of behavior that can't be ignored.
Sloan turns to face Sisko, and suddenly softens to a
warm and sympathetic tone.
SLOAN
I understand that you want to be
loyal to a man who's served under
you for so long. I understand
that you're inclined to take his
word over that of an outsider.
But step back for a moment and
think about it. This man
concealed the truth about his
illegal genetic enhancement for
over thirty years. He lied to get
his medical license. He lied to
get into Starfleet. He lied to
you when he came aboard this
station and he's lied to you ever
since.
This last salvo strikes Sisko personally -- in an area
where he still holds resentments he's barely conscious
of. But his sense of honor forces him to continue to
defend Bashir, as much for his own sake as for the
Doctor's.
SISKO
He did eventually come forward and
tell the truth.
