Greetings, traveler. You seem to be someone who knows what they’re doing. Your own ship… multiple ships? Hmmm. I am Bolk. A pleasure to make your acquaintance.

Oh, a reputable businessman like myself must always go where the opportunity arises. This “great frontier space,” as our Nagus describes it, is full of new marvels and fewer watchful eyes.

The ideal location for illegal activity.

Very possibly, but that is no concern of mine. I may have a lucrative and admittedly secretive venture in the works out here, but nothing strictly illegal.

My legitimate opportunity needs a little bit of help from someone with a ship like yours. Meet me at these coordinates…

Wow, those Federation lookouts either like you or don’t understand the meaning of the word “bribe.” I should travel everywhere with you. Are you some kind of folk hero or something?

Ah, look, the crop is bountiful. Scans show that the whole region is ripe for harvest. My automated systems have kept the whole place neat and tidy. Except for the cargo containers. They’re missing.

Those lawless Starfleet hypocrites must have snatched up all of my cargo equipment. I’ll need to replicate new boxes, crates, and packing material. You have more than enough Parsteel in your hold…

What’s a measly 100M Parsteel to you when it can go into feeding the thousands of refugees back in the Alpha Quadrant for only forty-eight percent mark-up?

Now, let’s take a look at the star map. As you can see, my organic food produce farming estate is on this planet here in the Solas Astra system. Lovely place.

Unfortunately, while I was tending to the health of my frail mother back on Ferenginar last month, the Federation decided to swoop in and claim this entire sector for themselves.

Dialogue
They claim it’s to stop the Klingons and the Romulans from planting a flag first, but that is of no interest to me. My assets, my farm, all of my produce, and equipment are there, now under their jurisdiction.

And you want to get it back? And how is your mother now?

Dialogue
That’s not important. What’s important is that we get in and collect the harvest. Latinum is only Latinum when it’s in your pocket. Not when it’s sitting in Federation-controlled space.

And food is only food until it spoils! So let’s sneak over the border and get to work.

Nicely done. They never suspected a thi- that we would be able to have such a good yield this season. Those Federation types are surely bound to impose taxes next year when they see how good our crop is.

Just as Rule of Acquisition number 1 states, “Once you have their money, you never give it back.” Now, here’s yours. And I will be on my way. No questions asked.

Federation patrols… Bearing 212-mark 7. I’ll just go run a first-hand check of the packing process down at the farm. You can talk to our new friends. Beaming down…
