Stardate not given: On a vessel that Quark received as a gift from cousin Gaila, Quark, Rom and Nog are en route to Earth where Nog is going to join Starfleet Academy. However, Gaila has sabotaged the shuttle. There is no other way to disengage the warp drive but to heat up Quark's illegal kemocite shipment with warp plasma. This reaction hurls back the shuttle to the year 1947, and it crashes at a place called Roswell. The US Military captures and interrogates the three "Martians". While Quark is trying to make profit dealing with the "primitive" humans, Nog tells them exactly what they want to hear - that an alien invasion fleet is on the way. With the help of Odo, who has been disguised as a dog, the three manage to retrieve their shuttle from Hangar 18 and escape from the facility, taking advantage of a nuclear blast to return to their time.
