13   EXT. SPACE - STARBASE 375 (OPTICAL)

	Establishing. The Defiant and Rotarran are in orbit
	around Starbase 375.

14   INT. DEFIANT - MESS HALL 

	GARAK is seated at a table as Doctor Bashir scans Garak's 
	head with a medical tricorder. Worf, Dax and O'Brien watch.

					BASHIR 
			Everything seems to be perfectly normal. 
				(a beat)
			I'm sorry, Garak.

					GARAK
			Keep looking, Doctor. I'm sure 
			whatever Starfleet put in there 
			is very well hidden.


					O'BRIEN
			Ridiculous.

					GARAK
			That's easy for you to say, Chief. 
			You don't know them as well as I 
			do. They're desperate people.

					DAX
			Garak, you're not going to get any 
			of us to believe that Starfleet 
			Intelligence has implanted some 
			kind of neural transponder in your 
			brain to monitor your thoughts.

					GARAK
			I would've if I were them. In 
			fact, when I was conducting 
			interrogations for the Obsidian 
			Order, I did a lot worse.

					BASHIR

			I'm sure you did.
