“Captain Mog, I am most grateful that you rescued my crewmates and I. I wish to repay your kindness.”
“Genghis Hank, I see that you have learned Ferengi customs well. Will that be in latinum or credits?”
“Would you consider… dilithium? I can give you the location of a planetoid with a considerable amount.”
“Where? Give me the location!”
“Ah, I can not. I am afraid that I will need to show you. Please set course 229 mark 4, and I will take you there.”
Again, the Ferengi sense of greed overcomes common sense, and the Captain agrees. After all, Rule of Acquisition number 62 states “The riskier the road, the greater the profits”.
------------------------
The Ferengi free trader returns to the scene of the recent encounter between the Klingon battle cruisers.
Hank walks over to Captain Rog. “There is your asteroid, Rog. Scan it.”
“It is as he says, Captain.” The lieutenant answered. “Loaded with dilithium!”
“I’m rich! We shall begin mining this at once!”
“Captain, Federation cruiser approaching! It is hailing us!”
“Raise shields! Put them on main speaker! I’ll not have the Federation steal my claim!”
“This is J T Qwerk of the starship Ent…”
“Captain, the deflector shields are malfunctioning! The main dish is emitting severe amounts of ion radiation!”
“Override”
“I can’t!”
Genghis Hank touches the intercom. “Exelcent work, Joachim! Have you also taken control of the helm?”
“Yes my lord Genghis!” the intercom replied.
Several flashes of light blind the bridge crew for a moment.
“What was that?” Rog demanded.
“That was an interaction between an ion storm and a planetoid full of dilithium. Oh, I assure you that nothing has harmed the crystals. They shall be yours, just as I promised.”
“Captain” the Ferengi Leutenant said, “The Federation ship still hails us.”
“This is James T Qwerk of the ISS Enterpwize. Answer in the name of the Empire!”
“Admiral Qwerk!” Genghis Hank crooned, “I have a proposition for you. Join me and help us battle the Galactic Guardians!”

JT, I hope you are not upset with where I took the plot. I was hoping you would enjoy being evil Qwerk from the mirror universe for the GvE tourney.

I'm not upset... just letting you east static while waiting Andrews reply to introduce his character.. during the interigation sceene in my brig.. I will not doubt effect how StarFleet I,HEM, the computer and others (inbcluding yourself ) interact .. Sorry its so slow... If I havn't heard anything by friday i'll continue myself and induct him into the crew as I see fit
(to give you a clue as to what i'm THINKING about going is that you still have my crew in more pods like you were saved in.. and that to get them back that I might have to do something for you to hopefully get them back).. this way the story can take a long time for me to get my crew back as they return or dissapear from my roster...)
Most of my replies are thought up as i read others msgs and replyed to as i read them.. I NEVER (well hardly ever) plan anything.. this is why I never do very much in any single msg and don't like ppl who take for granted that i'm going to do a certian thing.. I never assume what the others are going to do.. I simply state MY reactions to their prevous msgs 1 thought at a time.. and also expand on my and my ships and npc's persona's
Yes I've joined the Guardians of doom in their quest.. but I duno if I should incorporate it into the story.. If i do it'll be as a task to help get my crew back.. and my character would always be looking for a way out of it.. as Qwerk doesn't trust Genghis.. and in fact loaths him....  (nothing personal..) this being said Qwerk won't let that stop him trying to get Genghis to see the error of his ways and Join starfleet

The Guardians (of both flavors) have treated me very well. But if something ever happens to them, Star Fleet will be on my short list.

Indeed.

| Hey, Qwerk, I was looking at the player rankings on the Meta. Don't you know that getting in the middle of that fight between Bromoser and those three Jedi he's taking on could be dangerous? |
|
Bromoser checks for a target on his back!!
Yup!! There it is!!!
Major Dallas is trying to back me up against the ropes!
He might just TKO me in the next few days!

I decided to make something of this fight. A repost from the Aldarian thread. Someone else can write the ending if they wish. (Like, oh, maybe Qwerk? It is his pickle, afterall.):
Bromoser was surrounded by three Jedi. They circled their prey, sizing up the dangerous drunken master. The fight had lasted for what seemed to be days. Every time the Jedi closed in for the kill, the Drunken One slipped away. All four where currently locked in a battle of wills. All quietly sizing the opposition up and waiting for the moment to strike. The air was tense and the silence so pervasive that the low hum of the three light sabers seemed like a deafening crescendo of sound now.
Meanwhile, things were going badly for Qwerk. He and his team had interupted several Romulan agents on an away mission and he had been running for his life, trading phaser fire with them as he ran. The red shirts had already been picked off as they ran, at least the ones that did not sacrifice themselves to protect their captain in the opening seconds of the exchange. "Scotty, beam me up, now!!!"
"Captain, we are fighting the Romulans! They uncloaked in front of us and we can't take much more of a beating. I can't beam you up without lowering the shields. Use the emergency transport device and hope there is another transporter nearby to lock in on. Scot out."
Qwerk fumbled at his collar, dodging several green energy bolts while running madly away from the agents. Finally, he found the switch to the transport device and activated it. The transport ray consumed his form in mid stride. A brief few seconds later, he started to re-materialize, feeling he was pressed against someone's back! Worse yet, there were two men with light sabers in front of him with very grim looks on their faces. Rolling away from the person at his back, Qwerk noticed another grim man with a light saber. The man that was at his back was half crouched, waving his arms in some sort of hypnotic pattern while slowly sidestepping away. Qwerk recognized the other three as Jedi, but did not know what to make of the unarmed one.
"Great. Why does this always happen to me?", Qwerk said out loud. The brave captain had beamed out of one fight and into another via some weird transporter error. Was he going to talk his way out, or fight his way out? With Qwerk, one never knows.

Wonder what Aldarian (or is that a Diplomat?) that hypnotizer may be?
PS: Halutians appear to look grim, mainly becaus of their glowing red eyes And they are no "men"
