"Its approved by me. You may want to ask the commodore."

"It is a sound tactic. I aggree there technology could not detect the emplants"

"I have a craving for an earth hamburger. Some of the best made in San Francisco"

"We can meet him. Purhaps he can join us. I've not met him before."

"Good to meet you Captain. I've heard of your work on transwarp. As Chief Engineer Lt. Commander of the Aztec. Destroyed by Cardassians i heard. A good thing to see a Lt. Commander become a Captain"

Riker enters the air lock. Meeting Captain O'Neal.

"Hello Captain. An interesting mission? Would you like ot join me in the pub. I was planning on talking about the Endurance with you."

Riker walks with Brodie and O'Neal to the turbolift.

"Mess hall"

"Then you may dock now. They are within five minute range"

"Then that door will close on them. Send a distress call all channels. Prepare to fire photon torpedos and phasers. Have security prepare in case we are boarded"

Riker looksed at Woork

"Can we take on all of them Commander?"

Riker enters OPs.

"Stand down Commander. They may be simple salesmen. Since when did Ferengi attack Federation bases. Open a channel"

"Ok. Though i'm sure your crew could use some reast. The pubs open for you. Maybe that could be a use of the Venture-B."

"New technology? Were would they get that. Scan it. And attempt to counter it"

Riker griped his chair as the station shook

"I would like to state my resignation."

"We could use another ship if the Ferengi made a rescue call before surrendering. If i know right Nova is sending ambassadors"
