Headscratchers / Star Trek Deep Space Nine S 07 E 08 The Siege Of AR 558

• Bashir heads to the holosuite to pick up a chip containing music that Vic has selected to deliver to the base. But if it's a holographic chip, how is Bashir supposed to take it with him? And if it's not, where did Vic get it? If Vic needed someone to bring him a real chip to upload music into it, why wouldn't he ask Bashir himself to bring a chip? And if Bashir had dropped the chip off earlier, has there been a real data chip just sitting in Quark's holosuite while other people are using it?
