![]() ![]() When Worf complains about the fact that security was lax enough to allow someone to break into his quarters and that "nothing like this ever happened on the Enterprise," Odo says, "Oh, realllly?" and relates the plots of Next Gen episodes "Rascals" and "A Matter of Time".The thief dropping from the ceiling has just stolen Worf's stuff, including the Ferengi tooth sharpener he bought from Nog in "Little Green Men.".Considering this is the first Federation-designed warship, has a cloaking device, and sits in roughly the same weight class as a Klingon Bird-of-Prey, it's a perfect fit for him. Dax jokes that Worf is falling in love with the Defiant. This time, it's threatening to call in all of Quark's debts that the Federation has been letting slide for several years. Blackmail: Sisko takes a page out of Odo's book by using extortion to force Quark's hand.Bizarre Alien Biology: Per Quark's injuries, Ferengi apparently have "ascending ribs" and a "lower lung.".Later, Brunt and his henchmen threatening Quark cuts, after an act break, to Quark recuperating from numerous injuries in the infirmary.Next we know, all three of them are in a holding cell with visible signs of a minor brawl. The first time, we see O'Brien and Bashir chasing Worf into Quark's bar to convince Worf not to eat there during the strike.Artistic License History: O'Brien's description of the Battle of Clontarf as the Irish fighting off Viking invaders is an oversimplification, as the Vikings had already established a kingdom in Ireland, and there were Gaelic Irish on their side as well. ![]() Grimp: I thought you said you weren't afraid of the FCA. Ain't Too Proud to Beg: The moment Brunt shows up at the bar, one of the union Ferengi falls to his knees and begs for mercy.įrool: It's not my fault! They made me do it! It was all his idea! Forgive me!īrunt: If this was Ferenginar, I'd have you all taken to the spire of the Tower of Commerce, displayed to the crowds in the Great Marketplace below, then shoved off! One! By! One! Small children would bet on where you would land, and your spattered remains would be sold as feed mulch for gree-worms!įrool: Spare me! I'm old! I'm fragile! I'll push the rest of them off myself!.He assures his brother that he'll still keep the bar operating and visit him often, only now as a customer. Rom arrives in a Bajoran uniform announcing his resignation, saying he is now working as a station engineer. The bar reopens just as the Bajoran Cleansing Festival ends, so business is once again booming. He still refuses to end the strike without getting his demands, so the brothers hatch a plan: Quark will cave to the union's demands to end the strike, but they'll make it look like Quark won to get the FCA off their backs. Dax advises Worf that he'll have to get used to the station at some point, but the Klingon suggests that perhaps the station will get used to him instead. He settles in, and Dax arrives to give him some Klingon operas to play over the speaker system. The commander announces that he's found a solution: He will move his quarters onto the Defiant, where he can keep to himself. ![]() O'Brien and Worf reconcile after their brawl and talk about Worf's unease in the station. He notes how close Rom is growing with the dabo girl Leeta but decides that he Wouldn't Hit a Girl, so he settles for the next best victim: Quark himself. Brunt decides that someone Rom cares about must be beaten to deliver a message. One worker breaks, but the rest resolve to continue the strike regardless. He threatens the Ferengi with financial ruin for them and their families unless they return to work tomorrow. Liquidator Brunt from the Ferengi Commerce Authority arrives with two Nausicaan thugs to break the strike. He tries to bribe Rom into ending the strike, but Rom refuses. Quark is in a tight spot, because caving to union demands is itself a crime on Ferenginar. He calls Quark to his office and demands that he end the strike, threatening to call in all the outstanding debts that Quark owes the Federation. Sisko chews them out and wants this strike ended. When Worf crosses the picket line to patronize Quark's, O'Brien and Bashir rush after him to explain the situation, resulting in all three men getting thrown in the brig for brawling. O'Brien and Bashir watch the events unfold, supporting Rom's union. ![]()
