show of hands, paws, tentacles or other appropriate digits - how many other people besides me immediately realized the thread was a fake one made for april first?
alex: right...*he digs into his pack and pulls out a trio of spheres with legs attached to them, which is roughly the size of a basketball, tossing two to nick and setting up the third himself by placing it on the ground and twisting the top half of the sphere until it lights up*
alex: not a one - i didn't get a chance this time; besides, this one keeps complaining about how she feels redundant whenever i'm along, so i figured i'd stay back and protect the important people this time around *he jerks a thumb at krystal* just call me zamazenta, protecc doggo
(well, either way, quark didn't start looking for it because of anything alex did, he started looking because of the same reason he always looks for something - money)
alex...no, i JUST said someone else asked him to look for it - i asked to be kept apprised of the search - amid the transfer of a rather large sum of latinum, i might add
anyone whose heart has ever stopped, lungs stopped taking in air or higher brain functions ceased have 'essentially died' too...guess what? a lot of them came back to life thanks to prompt medical intervention
alex: well, hindsight is 20/20...anyway, regarding that little bit of 'business' about the sword we discussed a few weeks ago on DS9...have there been any updates on it?
or you can just use the free transwarp to new kentar via the mirrors and smoke mission, and then finish the remainder of the trip to gon'cra; it's practically next door that's what i always do now instead of wasting a lengthy CD transwarp that you don't even get until you've made some progress into lukari rep
alex: hello again, quark...you know, one would think that someone who has enough money to afford their own moon would also have enough to hire someone to perform dangerous and/or menial tasks like this one instead of doing it themselves
(the only species i know from star wars that has four arms is besalisk - i.e. the same species that dex belongs to; the guy obi-wan went to see in AotC to ask about the kaminoan saberdart)
alex: you know...anyone else screaming in terror would have me running to the rescue, but with quark's scream...i know it sounds horrible, but i have the strangest urge to giggle we should probably make haste however, because he's probably about to be eaten *he adds before running through the open doorway*
(this isn't the room where quark was holed up in, was it? where's the two ferengi screams that preceded it?) *alex comes running up behind the group* all the hur'q down tunnel three have been taken care of, and the civvies are safe...aside from one that expired due to a sudden cessation of momentum against a surface of…
alex: we're looking for a ferengi...and you still didn't say what kind of contraband this is - if it's something dangerous like biogenic weapons, i'd like to know before it ends up blowing up in my face
alex: that would depend entirely on the contraband - and i would really rather you didn't try to shoot me...it would save me the trouble of having to incinerate you like i did those hur'q
*a room which alex runs silently into and taps one of the hur'q on whatever passes for a shoulder, then blows a very loud and rude raspberry once he has their attention, before falling back toward the tunnel*
