Center of Balance	AND			AND		The Dominion has decided to step up and take the lead on the galactic stage. They've implemented a series of economic policies that they aren't shy about enforcing - on everyone. Intervene before the Dominion stir up more than trade talks.	As the Dominion are already receiving a great deal of resistance, you convince them to meet with other factions over concerns about how to handle the post-anomaly crisis economy. The meeting goes well and they decide to continue as a group.	Your away team's interference only angers the Dominion further.
Credit Where Credit is Due	AND	AND	AND			The Dominion has initiated talks with higher-ups in the Federation to fix the Federation's exchange rate following concerns about the strength of the credits.	Your away team helps gather data and sentiment from across the Federation, as well past records and outcomes of fixed exchange rates. While the Federation ultimately decides not to fix the rate, the higher ups are grateful.	Your away team argues amongst themselves. They can't help anyone when they are so divided.
Feeling the Hurt	AND		AND			After several Dosi negotiations that end with the other side injured or worse, Odo asks your away team to act as a security team and mediator in the event something goes wrong.	The Wadi trap seems to have activated a security feature on the pirate ship they were trying to stop. You manage to disengage the security system remotely, though also disengaging the Wadi's trap as well. Both vessels move along.	Your away team members are attacked by the Dosi after a particularly intense negotiation.
Inherent Value	AND	AND	AND			The Karemma are accused of flooding the market with cheap goods not made of what they claim nor worth the amount they charge. The Karemma are outraged and trade relations across the galaxy immediately become tense. Investigate.	An investigation reveals these supposedly Karemma goods were actually knockoffs made by Ferengi entrepreneurs. The knockoffs are confiscated and the Ferengi responsible apprehended. The Karemma express their gratitude.	Your away team is unable to find evidence for or against the Karemma. Tensions continue to increase.
Permanent Link	AND	AND	AND			Following a failed negotiation with Augment pirates, the Founders are unable to separate from the Great Link and take solid form. Odo asks you to investigate.	Your away team locates a network of cloaked satellites creating an electromagnetic field around the Great Link. Destroying the field restores the Founders' shapeshifting abilities.	Your away team is unable to determine a cause.
Poisoning the Well				OR	OR	The Dominion has secured a rare mining contract and dispatched the Jem'Hadar to begin work. However, the Jem'Hadar mining crew all fall ill. Weyoun recruits your away team to investigate the cause.	Your team investigates everything they can. They ultimately concludeihat gasses escaping in the mines are mixing with ketracel white and poisoning the Jem'Hadar. You help the Vorta to develop protective equipment to keep the gasses out.	Your away team is unable to find any disease causing the Jem'Hadar's condition.
Rough Sailing	AND	AND				After several dangerous encounters with pirates, the indignant Wadi have crafted new technology to try and capture the interstellar bandits in a trap. But when the trap captures more than their intended targets, they plead for your help.	Despite the Dosi's initial resistance, your team allays their fears that you intend to interfere with the negotiations proper and instead are there simply to ensure no one is injured. You do notice the Dosi themselves settle down with you there.	Your away team is unable to rescue the innocent captives.
Who Controls the Way, Controls the Wealth		AND	AND			The Dominion has imposed restrictions - and fees - on the Gamma side of the wormhole, inciting outrage among Bajorans and those seeking to pursue financial gain in the Gamma Quadrant alike. Help mediate the dispute.	After encouraging a meeting of the primary stakeholders, your awayteam mediates the meeting as the other players convince the Dominion to relent and seek extra revenue through other methods.	Your crew's involvement insults the Dominion and results in them doubling down, even collapsing closing their side of the wormhole.

A Lobe Up			AND	AND		Quark's profits have been unbelievable lately. He has an uncanny knack for luring new customers, knows just what they want, and the dabo wheel is more exciting than ever. But Odo is suspicious and asks you to investigate.	Following him discreetly reveals Quark's secret - a time crystallwlir'e'is using to get every customer interaction right - and to boost his knowledge on where the dabo wheel will land. You force him to return the crystal.	Your away team can find no explanations.
Eyes on the Future	AND	AND	AND			An entrepreneur from the future claims to be willing to share his knowledge to help those in the present to attain riches - for the right price of course. Could he be telling the truth?	As soon as he senses your distrust, the entrepreneur shuts down all conversation. Your away team begins investigating him through other methods and learns from others from the future that he is intentionally lying to sway the market in his favor.	Your away team's attempts to investigate the future businessman gain them enemies from among those who want to believe him.
Insecurity Protocols	AND	AND	AND			Come one, come all! No matter the universe or time you hail from, you (and your wealth) are welcome here! Or at least that's the message surrounding new Ferengi ship technology that's selling out fast - and resulting in plenty of buyers' remorse.	Assessing the technology, it becomes apparent the Ferengi cut many corners and as a result, their ship computer technology created a variety of security vulnerabilities and issues. You help dissatisfied customers uninstall and get refunds.	Your away team is unable to remove the technology or fix the issues it has caused.
Lost and Found			AND	AND		A Ferengi freighter from the future recently arrived via anomaly has disappeared while en route to Ferenginar. Zek asks you to find them.

Your away team is unable to enter the holosuites.
Profit Itself	AND			AND		Never one to pass up a business opportunity, Quark has undertaken the search for the Progenitors - and gotten lost! Rescue the missing entrepreneur.	After tracking Quark's movements, your away team is surprised to find he made it all the way to Halem'no, even if he happened to get himself trapped in one of the weather towers. He agrees to give up the search - for now.	Your away team is unable to locate Quark.
The Rarest Vintage				OR	OR	Quark connects with a dealer who specializes in rare wines brought to the present via temporal anomaly crisis. His customers begin falling ill, but Quark insists it can't be the new (and very expensive) wines. Investigate.	Quark is reluctant to provide his wines for investigation so your team is forced to get creative. They quickly learn that not all of the wine is really what it's claimed to be, much of it is improperly stored, and some is infested with parasites.	Your away team is unable to make any determination.
Trade Trap	AND	AND	AND			Factions from the future are setting up along the trade routes from their time - and attacking any present day merchants traveling along those routes. Nog asks for your help.

Though your team insists letting him face his consequences, you take him into custody.	Your away team is unable to track down Cyrano Jones.
Bearing the Brunt of It	AND		AND			Brunt is ready to bolster his power and push his policies beyond the borders of Ferengi space. He begins gathering interest (and animosity) in equal measure. Rom asks you to ensure no one harms the Liquidator.	After a refusal to hire you, your team begins tailing Brunt. He is attacked by Sela's guards after insisting Romulan women shouldn't be allowed to wear clothes or participate in commerce. You get him out alive, though he warns he still won't pay you.	Your away team attempts to tail Brunt to help him, but he intentionally loses you.
Deregulating Downfalls	AND	AND				The Traditionalists push for trade deregulation, hoping it will remove several barriers to increased business - and profit. Instead, the deregulation unleashes a host of new competition for the Ferengi - and trouble for the rest of the galaxy!	After managing to cull a tribble infestation with a herd of glommers, your away team uses their experience to convince the galactic powers that be to reinstitute the rules that kept dangerous creatures and items from proliferating.	Your away team is run ragged, chasing once illegally bred targs, testing contaminated Saurian brandy, and breaking up conflicts between pirates.

Riches Untold	AND	AND	AND			A vessel arriving via temporal anomaly with a crew in bad shape also holds another surprise - a map to the site of a future mining operation that would make any faction rich beyond measure. The race is on to find the site!	While joining the race for the mining site, your away team also conducts their own investigation. You quickly find that the mining site is currently inaccessible - and will be for centuries. You share this intel with other ships pursuing the site.	Your away team is ambushed by an unmarked vessel and your ship is taken out of commission.
Swaying the Balance	AND	AND	AND			Individuals from across time and space in position of rare goods or wealth stand poised to sway the economic balance of the galaxy. The Ferengi's attempts to court these individuals may have led them to bite off more than they can chew. Intervene.	The Ferengi attempts to court wealthy individuals arriving via anomalies has done less to serve the Ferengi and more to propel their targets' notability in the galaxy. You point out what a bad deal this is to the Ferengi and they change their tune.	Your away team only manages to increase economic tensions.
The Greatest Show	AND	AND	AND			Narj and the Ferengi have struck up a deal to take his menagerie to new audiences. Unfortunately, the stars of his most lucrative attraction, Pyrithian swamp gobblers, have escaped during a show aboard Deep Space Nine. Find them!	Using knowledge of the Pyrithian swamp gobblers, your away team manages to sedate and recover them before anyone is hurt. You send Narj on his way, never to return. Hopefully he took his moopsy with him.	While searching for the swamp gobblers, they corner the members of your away team on the Promenade.

Ultimately, he is able to retake the majority of support.	Your away team is chased out of Ferengi territory for their meddling.
