- Dialogue
- It’s already done. It’s something I threw together while you were away. It should do what you need. Take this drive. It works on an infra-red frequency. You need to be close to your target, but not too close.

- The hacker has been defeated. There were some minor firewall breaches, nothing especially damaging. I will work towards patching them while we return to Juno.

- Those fools I once called my protégés took it from me! However, I need a virus that will bring down the ship’s security defenses. For a time, at least.

- Dialogue
- I know your ship’s security system as well as anyone. And I know how to breach it. But my help comes with a price.

- You mentored Fess and Arrock?
- Objective ID

- Dialogue
- On a Ferengi freighter. Arrock was always impulsive, yet ultimately harmless. Fess, on the other hand…

- Everyone has different lines they’re not willing to cross. If you’re lucky, you never have to find yours.

- Character
- Quark
- Dialogue
- But Fess, he is as ruthless as they come. But he always hid that side of himself behind a facade of quiet observation. Occasionally, though, he would say things that rattled me to my core.

- That is why I eventually had to distance myself from the brothers. But if you’re waging a war with Fess, I will be able to help.

- My ship, the D’Vor Feesha. I spent years developing it. It was to be my magnum opus. But they snatched it out from under my nose.

- Phase

- Character
- Quark
- Dialogue
- I don’t blame them for it. Ferengi Rule of Acquisition 21: never place friendship over profit. Though I don’t believe Fess ever saw me as a friend. I was a means to an end.

- So what do you suggest we do?
- Objective ID

- Luckily, I’ve been able to track the D’Vor Feesha. I know it was here for a time, before Fess surely took off with it.

- Dialogue
- The ship’s security system is top of the line. I cannot tell you how much Latinum I poured into insuring it to protect my investment.
- Objective ID

- Character
- Quark
- Dialogue
- But the right virus, planted into the ship’s system, will leave it vulnerable. We can take it back. And I happen to know a cybersecurity expert who can construct such a virus.

- He knows we are here! He is trying to remotely hack into our system. Target him, Commander. I can only hold off the cyber attack for so long!
