I believe you’re familiar with Arrock and Fess? Well, they stole something from me, and I want it back.

It is not that simple. Fess is dangerous. He is working for the black market network, and Arrock is his hostage.

Oh no! What an unexpected development! It appears you’ll have no choice but to stop it.

Quark, what are you doing here?

Phase

Character
Quark
Dialogue
Let’s just say I have a vested interest in your current situation. I can help you. But before I can do anything about it, I will need your assistance with something semi-related.

Would this have something to do with the ship that appears to have followed you here?

You were followed by a ship ready to attack you. Are you sure your base will be any safer?

Quark
Dialogue
Those who would wish to harm me believe this is my base. A necessary precaution.
Objective ID

Dialogue
So you put us in danger instead to protect your own base?
Objective ID

Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Quark
Dialogue
Only because I knew you could handle it, of course. We don’t have time to argue, there are bigger things at play! Now, to my base!
