My Independent friend, you have made me a very wealthy Ferengi today. Rule of Acquisition 18: A Ferengi without profit is no Ferengi at all… A fate I am keen to avoid.

Lenah fell right into my hands and played her part wonderfully. She is not an inherently wealthy person. Lenah’s gambling funds come directly from Arrogen’s coffers. Those funds now belong to me.

I long suspected that she was siphoning funds from Arrogen in order to facilitate her habits, but never had the proof I needed until now – proof that I have anonymously forwarded to Luric.

Luric, you don’t understand. I am more sorry than you could ever realize. I understand that I have a problem. If you allow me this one pardon, I’ll get help–

Help!? Child, there is no help for us now. I do not think you understand the gravity of the blow your vices have dealt to this company.

Combined with our recent misfortunes, your subterfuge has crippled Arrogen Industries. We are finished.

This all started when Berron left. We should have never moved to remove him from the board. It is as if he was a barrier between us and eternal misfortune.

Berron… Of course! How could I have been so blind? That serpent has been plotting against us! He must be behind all of this. When I get a hold of his ears, I’ll–

Alright, I think we’ve heard enough, Independent. I’m sure you won’t mind if I just close this channel for now. There are some things I could do without hearing.

It would appear that Luric has deduced the identity of the architect of his misfortune. If I know Luric, he won’t take this lying down. I need to make preparations to leave Ferenginar.

Stay alert, Independent. I will prepare a shuttle and make my way to your Station in order to plan the next move. Once Luric is taken care of, our work will be complete.

So you’re saying the deed is done? You were successful in sabotaging the Tongo game?

Of course I was. She was drawing a lot of attention to the table. Frankly, I lost count of her losses after the first few games.

Although, just as you beamed me away, she was mentioning something about Arrogen finances?

Ha! So she acted precisely as anticipated. The winnings. Tell me you secured the winnings…

Yes, but frankly I’m going to charge you double for that one. If the casino security caught me tampering with the table, they would have executed me there and then.

However, as it stands, the funds have been wired to the account that you specified.

Incredible work, and paid in full you shall be! Independent, I don’t think you understand the gravity of this victory. I would advise returning to your Station. We can discuss this more upon your return.

No time to discuss these matters, Independent. Return safely back to Firenze at once. Alarms have surely been raised, and they will be looking for you.

I have acquired a visual on the croupier’s ship, Commander. The ship is lightly armed, at least enough to make a stand. There is nothing evident to state that they will be willing to cooperate with us.

As Berron suggested, we must disable the ship long enough to make the swap. However, the ship must remain functional in order for our plant to infiltrate the casino.

Now that we’ve dealt a significant blow to Arrogen’s finances, our next target is Lenah, Arrogen’s CFO and one of Luric’s closest confidants.

I happen to know that one of Lenah’s only vices is gambling. When stressed, she tends to blow off steam by playing high-stakes Tongo in the casinos of Exchange Alpha.

Just as expected, I have received word that the loss of the Rija Corp. contract has deeply disturbed Lenah. She has opted to take some time away to unwind and reassess the situation.

This is where we strike. I’m sending you to Firenze, in the New Berlin system. There, you’re going to pick up a contact of mine. She’s aware of your imminent arrival.

You will receive further instructions when you have her on board your ship. Hurry on, now. Anticipation and I are not good bedfellows.

Berron, the croupier vessel has successfully infiltrated the casino. The game should be underway.

Character
Berron
Dialogue
Excellent work, Independent. Lenah is a fierce gambler, but I know her weakness. When it comes to Tongo, she has no tact – she acquires when she should evade. She confronts when she should retreat.
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Berron
Dialogue
Our agent has been informed of this tell. In Lenah’s current state, she’s likely to be even more reckless than usual. Taking her money will be the easy part. Getting our agent out of there will be more difficult.

Red alert! An Exchange Security vessel has emerged from warp nearby. They have begun to conduct scans of our ship.

No, we can’t have this at all. I need you there to beam out our agent as soon as the signal is given. We cannot afford these types of complications.

The real croupier’s ship has been disabled and they have been beamed to our brig, Commander. They are unconscious, but appear to be unharmed.

Hey, I have to pilot that thing over to Pidan! You’re sure it’s still functional, right?

There may be some superficial, cosmetic damage to the hull. However, the ship is perfectly navigable.

Fair enough, I suppose I don’t have a choice, anyway. Beam me over to the bridge and follow me to Pidan. I need you to make sure that I arrive there safely, as well as leave in one piece.

Hey, you’re Berron’s associate, right? Please say you are, I’m beginning to get a little impatient.

That is correct. Please prepare yourself to be beamed aboard our ship while we discuss the next course of action with Berron.

That was fast. Look at you go! I’m assuming it’s safe to say that my contact is safely aboard your ship, so we’ll move on to the next stage of the plan.

I want you to head to Cita Laga as soon as possible and intercept the shuttle whose details I am sending you now.

Character
Berron
Dialogue
The ship is piloted by the Tongo croupier who operates Lenah’s favorite table. You’re going to disable their ship and take the croupier hostage in order for us to send in our own agent.
Objective ID

Character
Berron
Dialogue
Our croupier will then oversee Lenah’s games of Tongo and ensure that the odds are forever stacked against her. Lenah is a notorious gambler – it’s only a matter of time until she’s in too deep.

If everything is perfectly clear, then it’s time to make your way to Cita Laga. We have a small window of opportunity in which to act.
