Stardate not given: Quark has just realized that he is practically bankrupt when his cousin Gaila proposes him a tempting deal. Quark is supposed to provide his holosuites for weapon demonstrations of the unscrupulous arms dealer Hagath. Quark witnesses how Hagath fires his associate Farrakk and later learns that Hagath killed the man. The deals having become an open secret on the station although the Bajoran Government allows them because Hagath once supplied the Resistance, all his friends turn their backs on Quark. When Hagath is going to sell weapons to the Regent of Palamar, which will result in the death of millions, Quark decides that the deal must not take place. He invites Nassuc to the station to "accidentally" encounter his enemy, the Regent of Palamar. While the regent is killed, Hagath and Gaila escape with Nassuc on their heels. Quark, however, has paid off his dues and regained his friends.
