30   INT. CARGO BAY/TEAM DORM - LATER

	Bashir is sitting at the table, poring over the 
	material they've compiled. The others wait patiently 
	for him to finish. Even Patrick is somber and still.

	Bashir looks stunned by what he's reading, reaches for 
	a PADD to check it again, as if hoping that what he's 
	thinking isn't true. Finally, his features grim, he 
	puts the PADD down, looks up. The others gather around 
	to find out his reaction.

					JACK 
			Well?

					BASHIR
			Everything checks out.

					LAUREN 
			I was hoping you were going to 
			find a flaw.

					BASHIR 
			No.

					JACK 
			Then you agree with our 
			conclusion?

					BASHIR
			It's inescapable.
				(wishing it weren't
				true)
			There's no way the Federation is
			going to be able beat the
			Dominion. We have no choice... we
			have to surrender.

	And off the terrible truth in Bashir's features, we...

									FADE OUT.
