9    CONTINUED:

					SISKO
			To be honest, I haven't decided yet...

	Kira reacts at hearing this, her face reflects surprised 
	shock... and the beginnings of outrage.

					GUL DANAR
			He is Kohn-Ma!  Even the Bajorans 
			would not grant his kind asylum...

	Sisko raises an eyebrow, glances at Kira...

					GUL DANAR
				(continuing)
			He has committed heinous crimes 
			against the Cardassian people... and 
			I demand you release him to our 
			custody... if you do not...

					SISKO
				(interrupting)
			I'll investigate the matter 
			immediately.  In the interim, if 
			you'd care to dock your vessel, I'll 
			be glad to hear your explanation for 
			having violated Bajoran space and 
			threatened a Federation facility.

					GUL DANAR
				(beat)
			We have made no threat to your 
			facility.

					SISKO
				(small smile)
			I stand corrected.  Sisko out.

	Viewscreen blanks.

					SISKO
			The Major and I will be in the 
			Infirmary.
				(to O'Brien)
			I'd like some time to talk with this 
			fellow Tahna.  When Gul Danar comes 
			in, it'd be nice if we had a few 
			docking regulations that keep him 
			outside a while.
