I’m so glad you could make it! I love what you’ve done with your ship…

What do you need, Quark?

Quark
Dialogue
Straight to the point, eh? Fine. I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but this dust up between the Klingons and the Romulans has thrown the entire galaxy into chaos… Beautiful, distracting chaos.

There’s never been a more profitable time to be a… procurement specialist! I’ve got a cargo bay full of quality products, just waiting to be delivered to my loyal customers.

Eh-heh. Rule of Acquisition number 34: “War is good for business”. Now, hurry up, I’ve got a crate of Romulan ale that needs to be at Tau Ceti by this afternoon…

My muscle, Tander. In case anyone feels… forgetful about payment.

You’re a menace, Quark. Take your Latinum and get out of here before someone sees you.

Heh. Fellow thought he could short me again. Excellent work, Commander. All I need you to do is stand there and look intimidating.

Next up, I’ve got some Enolian spice wine going to Klingon space. Normally, I despise dealing with Klingons… but they pay top price for this stuff.

You almost seemed… sympathetic for a moment, Quark.

Quark
Dialogue
Ha! Of course not. I was merely concerned about my investment. If the Reman rebellion fails, do you think they won’t tell the Romulans who was supplying them?

War is good for business, Commander, but it also comes with certain risks. Luckily for us, I was always good at placing bets…

Hold on a minute there, Enolia! Don’t you recognize a humble merchant, here to deliver some much needed supplies?

Hmph. The Ferengi. I assumed that you had met your end since we last met.

Oh, Enolia. When will you learn that a Ferengi isn’t so easily killed.

Yes, you are much like the kinept of Remus. Disgusting, irritating, and you simply will not die.

You say the sweetest things to me. Now, do you want these medical supplies or not?

How, uh… How fares the war for the Remans?

Character
Enolia
Dialogue
Their rebellion was well timed, with the Senate distracted by the Klingons, but they are vastly outnumbered. No matter their movement, it seems the Tal Shiar have foreseen it.

Dialogue
Mark my words, however. The Romulan shanesh may enjoy the waters of fortune for now, but the tide will shift in the Remans’ favor.

Dialogue
The Romulans are diplomats, and spies. The Remans are bred for war, and conquest. By the flood, we will emerge victorious.

Eugh. Klingons. You never know if you’re going to get paid in Latinum or get handed your own innards with those brutes.

I am somewhat perplexed by the casual nature of these transactions, with battles happening mere hours from here.

Dialogue
Heh. People are people, Independent. Humans, Klingons, Romulans, it doesn’t matter. They all crave normalcy. I provide them with a… pleasant distraction from the cruel galaxy around them.

It’s all a matter of perspective, really. Now, come on. I’ve got some Reman rebels to supply.
