KAGAN: I was with the Seventh Fleet when the Dominion attacked the Tyra system. Ninety eight of our ships were destroyed in a matter of hours. I lost a lot of friends.
CHANDLER: I believe that, but yours were Jem'Hadar. (Chandler takes Bashir's comm. badge) You won't be needing this anymore. Step inside.
^CHANDLER: With all due respect Captain, if you would just wait in the Security office Director Sloan should be here any minute and you can discuss your request with him. SISKO: There is nothing to discuss. I want 10 minutes alone with my officer, and I want them now.
SISKO: I thought you should know Odo did some checking. Sloan had a son in Starfleet. He was a transport pilot. He was killed by a Dominion patrol.
Sloan: That's exactly what I think. When my son's convoy dropped out of warp to rendezvous with a Klingon bird of prey, they found three Dominion attack ships waiting for them instead.
Sisko: I'm sorry for your loss, but don't you think that your sons death creates a conflict of interest in your investigation?
SLOAN: I can understand that. But security protocol require that no one talk to the prisoner without clearance from me.
Sisko: Director Sloan, have you received orders from Starfleet to relieve me of command of this station?
SISKO: Well then, as long as I remain in command, I will see Doctor Bashir whenever I please. Furthermore, from now on I will sit in on all interrogation sessions to make sure his rights are observed. Do I make myself clear?
Sloan: I believe so. Well, we'll see each other tomorrow. In the meantime, enjoy your conversation. (Sloan leaves.)
[Wardroom] SLOAN: Let's go back a few years to the incident at Bopak 3. According to your report, you and Chief O'Brien crash landed on the planet, where you then made contact with a group of Jem'Hadar.
