IN FOR MILES O'BRIEN
By Bill Livingston

"So you know him, Chief?"

"Commander Argyle," Miles replied numbly. "Used to be _Enterprise_'s Chief
Engineer."  He shook his head incredulously.  "You say he was planning to kill
me?"

Odo nodded.  "Apparently, he blamed you for his getting expelled from
Starfleet."

"Me?!" O'Brien scoffed.  "*He's* the one who screwed up!"

"But you reported the incident, so it's you he had it in for."

"Odo, the damn fool left the antimatter injectors wide open!" Miles protested.
"He nearly blew us all up!"

"Well, he came back to try and finish the job." the Constable said, indicating
the bomb on the table.
