					SISKO
			You did all you could, Doctor.

					BASHIR
			But it wasn't enough, was it?  A 
			good man died today... because of 
			us.
				(a beat)
			And what about the hostages?  What's 
			going to happen to them?

					SISKO
			Without Bell, there's a good chance 
			those hostages are going to die.

					BASHIR
			And if that happens, who knows how 
			it'll affect the future.

	Sisko, who's been thoughtful throughout the scene, comes to 
	a decision.

					SISKO
			We have to save them.  Whatever it 
			takes, we have to make sure those 
			hostages survive.

	Bashir nods.  He's with Sisko all the way.
