			One witness was present... Major 
			Kira Nerys of the Bajoran Militia. 
			The witness's statement is 
			attached.

	Bashir taps a control, then turns to Kira, who is 
	sitting quietly at the other end of the Infirmary, 
	silently twisting the bracelet Ghemor gave her around 
	her fingers.

			Major?

	Kira looks up.

					BASHIR
