Storyline
Announcement
Quark reveals that the Dosi may have a solution for the temporal anomaly crisis… but it won’t come cheap. The Dosi are legendary, brutal negotiators, feared even by the Ferengi. Quark advises you to scour the galaxy for its most precious, valuable objects, in hopes that their collective worth will be enough for the Dosi to tell the Federation what they know. [1]
Prologue
- Tribble Quark: "I've got a lead. The Dosi might just have a solution to this mess. They've been mum on the details, but that just shows you they're good at doing business."
- EV Suit Garak: "I might just have a solution, too. Or a three-tailed taspar. You don't know because I won't show you. Wasn't there a fellow who had a name for this situation? Schrodinger, I think it was?"
- Tribble Quark: "I'm not saying we hand over all our latinum blindly. I'm saying we assume the best, but prepare for the worst. Let's sniff around, see if we can't find some proof that this cat's really alive."
Intermission
- Tribble Quark: "All right, enough! The Dosi are getting suspicious. I had to buy a crate of these damned tribbles just to keep myself from getting blasted. And I mean that literally--the Dosi are brutal negotiators."
- EV Suit Tucker: "Well, I haven't found any proof the Dosi are lyin'. They've got some pretty interesting technologies, stuff I've never seen before. It's possible they do have a solution... but I haven't seen anything labelled 'Temporal Anomalies: How to Fix' either."
- Choice A
- Captain: "If there's even a chance this solution exists, we have to pursue it."
- no additional dialogue, go to Tucker's "It's been years" line
- Choice B
- Captain: "If the Dosi have a fix, why wouldn't they just use it?"
- EV Suit Garak: "Perhaps the solution requires resources or manpower beyond the Dosi's reach. Brutal negotiators they may be, but rulers of a rich and expansive empire they are not."
- Choice C
- Captain: "I should have known any lead from Quark would be a waste of time."
- Tribble Quark: "You realize I'm still on this comm channel, right?"
- EV Suit Tucker: "It's been years we've been dealing with this crisis, not knowing whether any one of us is going to blink over to another universe or some dead enemy's going to pop back onto the bridge of our ship. If we're clutchin' at straws here... why wouldn't we?"
- Tribble Quark: "Then let's show the Dosi we're serious. Find the rarest, most valuable items, put them in a big, shiny pile, and we'll make the opening bid."
Epilogue
- Zyree: "An impressive offering. In terms of effort, at least. We'll see what my superiors have to say."
- Tribble Quark: "That's... promising. Any chance you could give a peek at your own offering? Just a taste?"
- Zyree: "I hope you're not suggesting that I'm lying. That would be an insult worth killing over. I'll assume you're not."
- Tribble Quark: "That's why you're my favorite, Zyree? I suppose we'll just have to wait and see. Boy, I hate being on the buyer's end of a trade....."
