Commander, a shuttle has docked in Drydock B. We appear to have a visitor.

Well… It appears that your reputation hasn't been exaggerated, unlike your hospitality. This is no way to greet a paying customer!

Dialogue
However, I do take some comfort in this lack of recognition. I’ve lost track over the years of how many Independents out there who would enjoy nothing more than sticking a blade in my back.

My name is Quark. I come here today with the proposition of a mutually beneficial arrangement. There’s profit to be made, Independent. All you have to do is take it.

My dear; so cold, so clinical – I’m starting to like that. You seem like the efficient type. The type who gets the job done. I knew I was right to trust you, so let’s get down to business.

Quark
Dialogue
Your job is simple, nothing too complicated. I need you to accompany me and stand by my side while I conduct a simple transaction. Latinum in exchange for some ship components. That’s all.

Why would you require an armed escort to a simple business transaction? There is something you are not telling us.

Character
Quark
Dialogue
You’re very perceptive. I suppose nothing will get past you. The seller, a Nausicaan known as Chaeth, retains a somewhat dubious reputation. It wouldn’t hurt to have some muscle on my side.

We are in. Transmit the coordinates of the meeting point and join us on the bridge. We will escort you to the meeting.

Look at you go! Such ferocity! I knew that you could handle them. Now let’s get out of here while we still can!

Dialogue
Look at us all here, with all of our ears intact. That’s thanks to my cunning and your brawn, Commander. We certainly make quite a team, don’t you think?

Continued association with you presents a 98.725% probability that we will encounter further danger thanks to your interpretation of “cunning”, Quark.

The contract has been completed. Your transaction was foolish, albeit successful. It is time for us to collect our payment and sever our association with each other.

Oh yes, the payment, about that… I don’t have it on me now, but if you’d just come with me, I’ll make sure you’re all paid up.

Very well. But know this – it would be unwise of you to attempt to cross us in the same manner as Chaeth.

Please, my friend, don’t think so little of me. I would never dream of doing such a thing… to you, that is.

You haven’t heard the last of me, Ferengi scum! I will slice your ears and chew your lobes!

Yes, I’m sure you will. Get us out of here, Commander. He’s starting to give me the creeps.

You certainly showed those savages a thing or two! They’ll think twice before coming after me, now that I have you by my side.

Quark, your actions thus far have been grossly irresponsible. You not only endangered your own life, but also the lives of the Commander and the crew of this ship.

Hey, we’re all still in one piece, right? I don’t see what the big deal is–

Be silent. I have detected a Nausicaan signature engaging an intercept vector. We are being followed. We cannot allow them to follow us back to the Station.

Damn, it must be that fool, Chaeth. He clearly doesn’t know when to quit.

Then we must make him understand. Raising shields and preparing to engage.

W-w-wait, hold on a second. There’s been enough destruction here today, don’t you think? I don’t want Nausicaan lives weighing on my conscience.

Just… just rough him up a bit, would you? Not enough to maim, but enough to get the hint that we shouldn’t be followed.

You keep us waiting, Ferengi. Any longer and I would have cut off your ears and made a necklace of them.

Dialogue
You always were a craftsman of the finest humor, Chaeth. You’ll have to accept my apologies; my friend here couldn’t decide what ship to command. You know how indecisive these Independents can be.

A-anyway, let’s get down to business. You stand to make an outstanding profit here, Chaeth. Tell me – do you have the primary warp coils? Are you certain that they came from a Ferengi merchant cruiser?

Chaeth
Dialogue
Of course I’m certain! Chaeth knows a Ferengi vessel when he sees one. And I grow tired of the sight of them. Let us dispense with these wretched formalities and make the exchange.

Anything you say! Commander, beam the cache of Latinum over to our dear friend Chaeth and prepare to receive the consignment of warp coils.

Well then, it looks like we’re done here. A pleasure as always, Chaeth. We’ll just be on our way and–

Chaeth
Dialogue
Wait!! What is the meaning of this, Quark? Within this cache, a mere sliver of Latinum disguises nothing more than scrap metal. You would dare make a fool out of Chaeth!?

Trust a Nausicaan to get all worked up. Commander, it looks like you’re up. Clear a path so we can make our escape!
