12   CONTINUED:

					WORF
			We've found preliminary 
			indications that the ship 
			encountered a class two plasma 
			storm which irradiated the vessel.

	Bashir moves to a console.

					BASHIR
			Computer, are current neural 
			readings for subjects Sisko, Odo, 
			Dax and Garak consistent with the 
			effects of encountering a class 
			two plasma storm?

					COMPUTER VOICE
			There are no recorded causal 
			relationships between plasma 
			storms and specified neural 
			readings.

 					BASHIR
			None? Computer, how many medical 
			records are there on space plasma 
			phenomena?

	The computer screen begins scrolling with information.

					COMPUTER VOICE
			Five thousand, twenty-one.

	Worf and Bashir exchange a look.

					BASHIR
			So we're dealing with a fairly 
			common phenomenon, having an
			uncommon effect on our people.

					WORF
			The runabout is still being 
			analyzed. They may have more 
			information soon.

 					BASHIR
			Good. In the meantime... I have 
			some reading to do.

	Bashir sits down at the computer monitor and begins 
	reading the massive amount of files.
