Such a relief to see you both made it back safe and sound, my dear associates. And with all your appendages intact, too. Good for you! Now, where is my shipment of Transogen?

Your concern is touching, really. There’s fifteen cases of the stuff here for you. I assume that I can get paid and go home now?

The funds have already been processed to your account. Next time, you might want to listen to my advice and take a longer route… We can both do without the stress.

Not so fast, Blue Eyes. I can’t pay you until I take inventory of the stock. Then I can hide these cases in the bar’s store room and then we can settle up. Let’s see, now – one, two, three…

Sixteen cases? I thought that fool said there were fifteen? Now why would there be an extra– Oh no!

No, of course not! H-how delightful it is to see you, Constable. I was just telling the Commander here that–

Dialogue
Save it, Quark. I heard everything. I’ve told you that I don’t want Transogen on board this station. Not until people can learn to barter for it instead of fighting for it. That day isn’t coming anytime soon.

Yes, of course. Well, I’ll leave you to it. But don’t think you’ve gotten off lightly here, Commander. I’ll be keeping an eye on you.

So, that covetous little Ferengi creep actually does care about the people doing his dirty work? I can’t believe that he’d actually send someone to help me. Yes, I’ve got Quark’s shipment right here.

Scans of your vessel indicate that your impulse engines have been compromised. In order to bring you to safety, we must transfer your crew and cargo to our ship.

I suppose it’s my own fault for choosing this route. Never again, I tell you! If that’s what it will take to get us out of here, then so be it. Take us to Deep Space Nine, please. Quark owes me a stiff drink.

Dialogue
Welcome back to Deep Space Nine, Commander. I’d treat you to the full range of hospitality that my humble little establishment could offer, but I have a feeling that you’d rather get straight to business.

Your intuition serves you well, Quark. What are the details of the contract?
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Quark
Dialogue
Well, it’s quite simple, really. I’ve been expecting a very important shipment. The tracking information is normally rather accurate and up to date, as it should be for a service this expensive!
Objective ID

Phase

Dialogue
However, as of late last night, the tracking information has ceased updating. The shipment appears to have been stalled in the Beine system.

Shipments frequently become stalled on the way to their destination. Perhaps patience would serve you well in this situation?

Character
Quark
Dialogue
Oh no, not this time. This requires a little more… immediacy. Tell me, Commander, are you familiar with Transogen? Quite a curious little wonder, wouldn’t you agree?

Yes, we are familiar with it.

Dialogue
Ah! Then you’ll also be familiar with how contested it is as a resource. Well, my highly anticipated shipment just happens to be a cache of Transogen – one that I’ve paid handsomely for.

Phase

Character
Quark
Dialogue
Beine is a known hotbed of hostile activity. I’ve been telling that idiot courier to avoid passing through there, but it cuts a huge amount of time off the journey, so he just refuses to listen.
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Quark
Dialogue
I’m growing more concerned by the hour that my shipment has been compromised. I need you to travel to Beine and make sure that my cache of Transogen is still in the right hands.

We will investigate the matter for you.

Splendid! I’ll be waiting right here for you to bring me some good news. Oh, and one more thing… Our dear Constable Odo knows nothing about this, and I’d like to keep it that way. Call it our little secret.

Ah, there you are, my favorite Independent! How wonderful it is to speak with you again, my old friend. I must say, you’re looking particularly effervescent today. Business must be booming over there!

Kindly dispense with the superfluous pleasantries, Quark. You are not known for making social calls. What do you want?

Oh, come now. What’s with all the suspicion? Can’t one successful entrepreneur sustain a functional friendship with another?

Quark
Dialogue
Alright, I can see that flattery is off the menu today. I’ll get straight to the point – I’ve got a job that needs doing, Commander. The price is high and the effort is low. Sound like something you’d be interested in?
Objective ID
240,870,909
Phase

Maia
Dialogue
That depends on the nature of the contract. We will require further information.

Dialogue
I figured you would. This job is of a highly sensitive nature, so I’d rather not divulge any further details through comms, if that’s alright with you. We don’t know who could be listening in!

Now that I think of it, it’s been a while since I’ve seen you on the Promenade. Come, join me at my bar, and we’ll talk further.

This must be Quark’s contact. The ship appears to have endured significant damage, but lifesigns and life support systems remain stable. We should check in with them at once.

We have arrived in the Beine system. Quark’s courier should be here somewhere. If we conduct long-range scans of the system, we should be able to–

They are refusing our hails, and their shields are raised. These must be the hostiles that Quark was referring to. Red alert!
