	Bashir's not about to admit defeat.

					BASHIR 
			I'm not sure. There're still some 
			procedures we can try. Hexadrin 
			therapy. Or immunoregeneration 
			treatments.

					GHEMOR 
			I appreciate anything you can do.

	Ghemor turns to Kira. The pain's still pretty intense.

					GHEMOR
			I'm sorry, Nerys. I know this 
			isn't going the way you planned.

6A   CLOSE ON KIRA 

	She's having a hard time adjusting to what's happening, 
	but she tries to stay strong for Ghemor.

					KIRA 
			Don't worry about me. The 
			important thing is to get you 
			well.

	Ghemor nods, but without any enthusiasm. He knows 
	there isn't much hope of that.

			Ops to Sisko.

	Sisko stops.
