56   CONTINUED:

					SISKO
			The man we have in charge of a murder 
			investigation is the prime suspect, 
			Major.  Those people have a right to 
			complain...

					DAX
			Even if he's innocent, it's still 
			could be seen as a conflict of 
			interest, Kira.

					KIRA
				(to Sisko)
			You're going to relieve him of duty.

					SISKO
			I don't see any other choice.

					KIRA
				(still arguing)
			He's been completely candid about 
			the investigation... he could have 
			covered his tracks half a dozen times 
			already if he were guilty.

					SISKO
			I appreciate how you feel.  But the 
			decision stands.  I'll inform him 
			myself.

	On Kira's reaction...

57   INT. INFIRMARY

	Bashir and Odo on the move... Bashir carrying a sample case... 
	his mind working two steps ahead of his conversation with 
	Odo...

					BASHIR
			The only curious thing I found were 
			seofurane fragments near the matter 
			reclamation unit... it appears he 
			was trying to get rid of them...

					ODO
			Have any idea what they're from?

					BASHIR
			I know exactly what they're from... 
			a biological sample container.  I 
			use containers like them all the 
			time.
