Dialogue

Mission dialogue

Objective ID: 1,136,213,403
Phase: dialogue_end
Character: Quark
Dialogue: Goodbye, Nak. You’ve left your business in… good hands, heh-heh.

Objective ID: 1,136,213,403
Phase: dialogue_end
Character: Maia
Dialogue: Quark, I have a fix on Nak’s supply of faux-Latinum. I am beaming it aboard for inspection.

Objective ID: 1,136,213,403
Phase: dialogue_end
Character: Quark
Dialogue: Ohhhh my. It looks so much like the real thing. Virtually indistinguishable… I wish I knew how Nak made it.

Objective ID: 1,136,213,403
Phase: dialogue_end
Character: Maia
Dialogue: Actually, based on my analysis, I do not believe he did. Armaund was correct, the faux-Latinum is indeed organic. However, that is not the full story.

Objective ID: 1,136,213,403
Phase: dialogue_end
Character: Maia
Dialogue: The electromagnetic field generated is not the result of a disturbance, as we assumed. My scans suggest that it is comparable to the activity generated by brain activity.

Objective ID: 1,136,213,403
Phase: dialogue_end
Character: Quark
Dialogue: Brain activity!? You’re saying that…

Objective ID: 1,136,213,403
Phase: dialogue_end
Character: Maia
Dialogue: Faux-Latinum is, in fact… A living being. Some kind of liquid life-form that bears a striking resemblance to Latinum.

Objective ID: 1,136,213,403
Phase: dialogue_end
Character: Quark
Dialogue: Well, would you look at that. Nak didn’t make it at all, he just took advantage. I’m almost jealous. Well, I’ll be taking it now…

Objective ID: 1,136,213,403
Phase: dialogue_end
Character: Maia
Dialogue: It is a living being, Quark.

Objective ID: 1,136,213,403
Phase: dialogue_end
Character: Quark
Dialogue: And I’ll be sure to give it a good home!

Objective ID: 1,136,213,403
Phase: dialogue_start
Character: Quark
Dialogue: Aha! Got you!

Objective ID: 1,136,213,403
Phase: dialogue_start
Character: Nak
Dialogue: You no-good yik, Quark! You’ve ruined everything!

Objective ID: 1,136,213,403
Phase: dialogue_start
Character: Quark
Dialogue: Turnabout is fair play, Nak. You might have gotten away with all of this if you didn’t stick your nose in my business.

Objective ID: 1,136,213,403
Phase: dialogue_start
Character: Nak
Dialogue: I’ll do more than that. I’m going to rip the lobes off your ears!

Objective ID: 1,365,617,792
Phase: dialogue_start
Character: Maia
Dialogue: Alert! Vessel approaching on intercept trajectory.

Objective ID: 1,365,617,792
Phase: dialogue_start
Character: Quark
Dialogue: Heh. Nak must be getting desperate. Take out that guard!

Objective ID: 1,678,889,879
Phase: dialogue_start
Character: Quark
Dialogue: Try me, Armaund.

Objective ID: 1,678,889,879
Phase: dialogue_start
Character: Armaund
Dialogue: The Latinum we know is a liquid-metal, suspended in gold bars as a means of easy transport. This faux-Latinum… Well, it is not a metal at all.

Objective ID: 1,678,889,879
Phase: dialogue_start
Character: Armaund
Dialogue: Upon further inspection, I have discovered complex protein strands and even genetic coding!

Objective ID: 1,678,889,879
Phase: dialogue_start
Character: Quark
Dialogue: This is all fascinating, but could you please translate that for us?

Objective ID: 1,678,889,879
Phase: dialogue_start
Character: Armaund
Dialogue: It means that faux-Latinum is organic! Impossible to tell without the proper equipment and knowledge, but the evidence is there.

Objective ID: 1,678,889,879
Phase: dialogue_start
Character: Quark
Dialogue: And so we have our red-hot phaser. That small-lobed snake will rue the day he crossed Quark.

Objective ID: 1,678,889,879
Phase: dialogue_start
Character: Quark
Dialogue: Come, Commander. We have a grand opening to return to.

Objective ID: 1,841,443,772
Phase: dialogue_dilemma
Character: Mission Computer
Dialogue: What should we do with the faux latinum?

Objective ID: 1,918,358,871
Phase: dialogue_end
Character: Quark
Dialogue: Well, this all worked out for the best, didn’t it? Nak is dealt with, I’ve got a brand new avenue of business to follow up on. Things are really looking up for–

Objective ID: 1,918,358,871
Phase: dialogue_end
Character: Jean Luc Picard
Dialogue: Quark!

Objective ID: 1,918,358,871
Phase: dialogue_end
Character: Quark
Dialogue: Oh. Right.

Objective ID: 1,918,358,871
Phase: dialogue_end
Character: Jean Luc Picard
Dialogue: You have led us on quite the chase, Quark. But you will surrender yourself for questioning, immediately.

Objective ID: 1,918,358,871
Phase: dialogue_end
Character: Quark
Dialogue: Of course, Captain! I beg for your forgiveness!

Objective ID: 1,918,358,871
Phase: dialogue_end
Character: Jean Luc Picard
Dialogue: Hmm. What trick are you playing, Quark?

Objective ID: 1,918,358,871
Phase: dialogue_end
Character: Quark
Dialogue: No tricks, Picard, honest! I’ve seen the error of my ways, and I’m putting myself on the straight and narrow. It’s nothing but genuine business for Quark, from here on out.

Objective ID: 1,918,358,871
Phase: dialogue_end
Character: Quark
Dialogue: Well, Commander, it looks like I’ve got a date with some red shirts.

Objective ID: 1,918,358,871
Phase: dialogue_end
Character: Maia
Dialogue: What will you do now?

Objective ID: 1,918,358,871
Phase: dialogue_end
Character: Quark
Dialogue: Once the good Captain is finished with me, I think I’m going to take a page out of Nak’s book and get into the Casino business.

Objective ID: 1,918,358,871
Phase: dialogue_end
Character: Quark
Dialogue: I’ve heard some rumors about an open storefront on a Cardassian station…

Objective ID: 1,918,358,871
Phase: dialogue_start
Character: Maia
Dialogue: Very well. You may take the faux-Latinum for study, on the condition that you return the creatures to their natural habitat.

Objective ID: 1,918,358,871
Phase: dialogue_start
Character: Quark
Dialogue: Of course! I would never think of harming such innocent organisms…

Objective ID: 1,918,358,871
Phase: dialogue_start
Character: Maia
Dialogue: For now, we will return you to our Station. You can organize your own transport from there.

Objective ID: 369,666,496
Phase: dialogue_start
Character: Maia
Dialogue: I see no signs of any structures or ships nearby. Nak may have fled the system.

Objective ID: 369,666,496
Phase: dialogue_start
Character: Quark
Dialogue: He hasn’t. Nak is a cowardly weasel. He would have had a nice hiding spot here, somewhere he can keep his head down while we fly off looking elsewhere.

Objective ID: 369,666,496
Phase: dialogue_start
Character: Maia
Dialogue: How do you know?

Objective ID: 369,666,496
Phase: dialogue_start
Character: Quark
Dialogue: Because it’s what I would do. “He who dives under the table today lives to profit tomorrow.” That asteroid right there. Scan it and I think we’ll find what we’re looking for.

Objective ID: 456,575,688
Phase: dialogue_end
Character: Quark
Dialogue: Well, Latinum or no Latinum, at least Nak is dealt with. Now that this whole situation is over with, I can get back to the Cookery and–

Character: Jean Luc Picard
Dialogue: Quark!

Objective ID: 456,575,688
Phase: dialogue_end

Dialogue: Oh. Right.

Objective ID: 456,575,688
Phase: dialogue_end

Objective ID: 456,575,688
Phase: dialogue_start
Character: Maia
Dialogue: No. We will return these creatures to their natural habitat, wherever that may be.

Objective ID: 456,575,688
Phase: dialogue_start
Character: Quark
Dialogue: Tsk. After all this, after everything I’ve done for you?

Objective ID: 456,575,688
Phase: dialogue_start
Character: Maia
Dialogue: We assisted you.

Objective ID: 456,575,688
Phase: dialogue_start
Character: Quark
Dialogue: It’s all about you, you, you, isn’t it? Fine! Just take me back to your Station.

Objective ID: 986,203,185
Phase: dialogue_start
Character: Nak
Dialogue: Quark? Have you come for a job? I believe we could use another toilet scrubber or two hahaha!

Objective ID: 986,203,185
Phase: dialogue_start
Character: Quark
Dialogue: Your bar won’t be able to afford a toilet scrubber once I’m finished, Nak. Ahem! Esteemed customers of Nak’s Casino and Bar!

Objective ID: 986,203,185
Phase: dialogue_start
Character: Nak
Dialogue: What do you think you’re doing?

Objective ID: 986,203,185
Phase: dialogue_start
Character: Quark
Dialogue: The Latinum that Nak is oh so happily giving out in his games is a clever ruse! You see, this Latinum is not worth the gold it's suspended in.

Objective ID: 986,203,185
Phase: dialogue_start
Character: Nak
Dialogue: This Ferengi has lost his mind, my friends! Pay no attention to his ramblings.

Objective ID: 986,203,185
Phase: dialogue_start
Character: Quark
Dialogue: Oh, don’t take my word for it. Why don’t you all take a look at these research findings?

Objective ID: 986,203,185
Phase: dialogue_start
Character: Klingon Ambassador
Dialogue: Fake Latinum!? You treacherous bak’tag! I should kill you for this!

Objective ID: 986,203,185
Phase: dialogue_start
Character: Customer
Dialogue: How gauche! I believe I’ll take my business elsewhere…

Objective ID: 986,203,185
Phase: dialogue_start
Character: Nak
Dialogue: Wait, friends! This is all a… a big misunderstanding! Here, take some tokens! Uh… Free meals for every purchase over… over…

Objective ID: 986,203,185
Phase: dialogue_start
Character: Quark
Dialogue: My, my. Looks like you need a better marketing team, Nak.

Objective ID: 986,203,185
Phase: dialogue_start
Character: Nak
Dialogue: This isn’t over, Quark! I’ll make sure your life is ruined for this!

Objective ID: 986,203,185
Phase: dialogue_start
Character: Quark
Dialogue: Get after him, Commander! I want to know how he got this organic Latinum.
