The Starfleet ships just gathered around me, hailing me to surrender. I got away, but I didn’t get a chance to test out the virus.

So you’ve teamed up with that failure Quark, and you’re traipsing around Federation space. Are you truly that desperate?

Spare me the clichés. You’re here trying to confront me, when you should maybe be worrying about your new ally.

Independent, I’m in somewhat of a sticky situation. The Starfleet ships noticed me, and… I am considerably surrounded.

Uh-oh! Sounds like the old man is in trouble. Better figure out what your next step is, because I don’t plan on staying in this system for long.

Commander, should we return to Quark and help him out? Or try to apprehend Fess while he’s here?

Wait! Look, Commander! It’s my ship! The D’Vor Feesha! Which means Fess is likely here too.

It is no coincidence that Fess is here. He must be baiting us.

Thanks to your overdeveloped trigger finger, you provided an excellent distraction, Independent. I was able to test the virus on a Starfleet vessel. And it worked!

A Starfleet ship!? That does not seem wise…

I recorded every ship we encountered while investigating the black market network. One of them was registered with Starfleet.

Which means they have infiltrated Starfleet. That makes them all the more dangerous.

Very well. But I hope you understand, I reserve the right to remove myself from the situation if things do not go as planned!

Understood. Returning to Quark.
