(On the Pheonix-X)
(In the Ready Room)
*Ensign Dan: Captian, receiving a communication from Starfleet command.
Daniel: Put it through to here.
*Admiral Cloud: Captian, have you ever heard of Flortarios III?
(In the MessHall)(BOB and Night eat at the table)
BOB: See that Humaan over there?
Night: Yeah. Damon Smith.
BOB: He's a scientist here. The Xena picked him up from Flortarios III and dropped him off here.
Night: How do you know so much about the people on board? You'd think you check thier background.
BOB: Yeah well, as a Ferengi, you meet a lot of people.
Night: Heh, heh... hmmm...he just glanced at us, do you think he can hear us?
*Daniel: Commander Gotens and...BOB...report to my ready room please.
(In the Ready Room)
Daniel: Took you long enough.
BOB: Well, you never said immediately. So are you gonna tell us the plans?
Daniel: ...Have you ever heard of Flortarios III?
(Night and BOB look at each other.)
Night: This is going to be interesting...
(Later on the Bridge)
(BOB, Night, Daniel enter the bridge from the ready rooom)
Damon: Well...this anomilee isn't as interesting as I thought.
Daniel: Maybe you shouldn't of come.
Damon: Yeah well...you know these anomilee's...they're anomilee-able.
BOB: That doesn't sound very scientific.
Ensign Dan: Captian, recieving a communication from Starfleet Command.
BOB: Well, it's about time. Now maybe we can know the plans to our next mission.
Daniel: On screen.
*Admiral Cloud: Captian Daniel X.
Daniel: Well, waddaya want?
*Cloud: It seems you have a spy on board. He is helping the Alpha Quadrant Jem'Hadar gather information about our mission to intercept a trade.
(Everyone looks at eachother)
*Cloud: We have identified him, he is the Ferengi to your right.
Daniel: Security, escort BOB to the brig.
BOB: What!? This is perposterous! I'm not a spy!
(BOB is dragged into the tubolift)
BOB: I'm not a spy!!
(Door closes)
Daniel: Puh! Ferengi's.
Damon: Damn...
*Cloud: Alpha Quadrant Jem'Hadar have stationed on Flortarios III. You are to go over to Flortarios III. It is a capital trade planet. The Jem'Hadar say they're over there to trade tetra cell white, but from our sources they're accepting a pack of Starfleet weapons from a Ferengi troop. We have concluded that to be the Ferengi on your ship the spy they were talking about.
Damon: They think the Jem'Hadar are accepting Federation weapons?
Ensign Dan: Looks that way.
Daniel: I guess we'd better stop them.
*Cloud: You know the procedure. Admiral out.
Daniel: Helm, set a course to Flortarios III, warp factor 6.
(Pheonix-X goes to warp)
(Later...on the Bridge)
Lieutenant Red: Captain, approaching the Flortarios star system. We should arrive at Flortarios III in approximately 10 mintues.
Daniel: Night, prepare an security-away team, and report to transporter room 3.
(In Transporter Room 3)
Daniel: I will beam down first. I'll signal when for you guys to beam down.
*Lieutenant Armond: Captian, someone is beaming out of transporter room 2. I can't over ride it.
Daniel: Hhmm... Energize.
(Captian beams out)

(On Flortarios III)
(In a room)(A Jem'Hadar 3rd in command enters the room and sees the 1st and 2nd in command talking)
The 1st: Did our spy contact you?
The 2nd: Yes, he has meracuasly escaped and has reported that the Federation will intercept. We will see him at the trade. Remember what he looks like?
1st: Yes, who could forget such an ugly face. Ah 3rd, you are here, I want you to lead the others and have them surround the area of our trade. We will capture the Federation team and the Ferengi's.
The 3rd: Yes Commander.

(On the Pheonix-X)
(In the Transportor Room)
*Daniel: Daniel to Pheonix-X, Okay beam down the preset coordinates.
(The team beams down)

(Night time on Flortarios III)
(At a small base)(BOB apraoches the door and talks into the screen)
BOB: I am the spy from the Pheonix-X. I'm here to lead the trade.
(Two Ferengi's look at each other)
*Ferengi: I didn't know the spy was a Ferengi.
*Other Ferengi: Neither did I, let him in.
(Door opens, BOB walks in)

(On a street)
(Someone is sneaking somewhere)(The Jem'Hadar 3rd sees and quietly follows)
3rd: Hhmmm...that looks like some kind of human...

(On a street)
(A big hovering vehicle holding a big crate arrives and stops)
(6 Ferengi's come out)(One is BOB)
BOB: Well?
A Ferengi: They'll be here.

(On a street)
(A big vehicle holding a big crate stops)
(6 Ferengi's come out)(One is BOB)
BOB: Well?
A Ferengi: They'll be here.
(5 Jem'Hadar approach with weapons)(Including the 1st and 2nd in command)
BOB: Do you have the chip?
1st: Yes, right here. 2nd, check the crate.
(2nd checks crate)
2nd: They're in there.
Night: Hold it right there.
(7 Federation people approach)
Night: Ferengi, Jem'Hadar drop your weapons, or prepare unbelievable pain!
(A Ferengi aims at the Commander)
Ferengi:  It is 11 against 7...Drop yours.
(BOB turns around and points weapon at the Ferengi)
BOB: 10 against 8...drop yours.
Ferengi: Traitor! Traitor!!
1st: Who are you? We were supposed to meet the spy from the Pheonix-X!
Ferengi: You aren't the spy?
Damon: No, I am.
(Out of the shadows the Human appraches with a weapon)
1st: Ugh, the ugly face.
Night: Coo'. Coo' man, coo'.
Lieutenant Commander Armond: Aren't you surprised?
Night: Negitive Armond.
1st: This is enough! I have troops surrounding us at this moment! ATTACK!!
Damon: No this is enough, we are going through this trade, BOB drop your weapon!
(The 3rd emerges from the shadows pointing a weapon at Damon.)
3rd: No, drop yours. It is now 9 against 11.
1st: Yes! 3rd! Have your troops capture the Federation and the Ferengi!
Ferengi: Traitors!
Night: I don't even want to do the math.
3rd: No first, you drop yours.
(Jem'Hadar 3rd transforms into Captian Daniel X)
1st: A Changeling!
(A Jem'Hadar fires at Commander Gotens. Night ducks and fires back, stunning him.)
(The other Jem'Hadar fire at the Away Team of five. The team fire back. Ferengi's except BOB run into the vehicle.)
(The vehicle starts moving out. Night runs and jumps onto it as it moves. BOB jumps onto the other side of the vehicle.)
(The Human turns around knocking the weapon out of the Captians hand. Daniel leaps and tackles Damon to the ground.)
(The 4 Jem'Hadar still firing at the 6 Federation Away Team. Two Federation officers get stunned down.)
(Night breaks into the vehicle and throws a Ferengi out into the street. BOB leaps from the top and kicks the driver Ferengi out and the Ferengi falls to the street, BOB takes over the vehicle. As it hovers at a speed of only 200km it turns around back towards the Jem'Hadar and Federation Away Team)
(4 Jem'Hadar still firing and ducking behind barrels at 4 Federation officers. One Jem'Hadar turns around and fires at Daniel, but misses. A Lieutenant phasers the Jem'Hadar and he falls to the ground.)
(Damon punches Daniel in the face and leaves a big groove in it, the groove heals back. Daniel makes his arms into chains and chains the arms of Damon.)
(The vehicle arrives again and stops, hovering in the same position)
(The 3 Jem'Hadar surrender to the 4 Federation Away Team. Suddenly the 1st turns and shoots the vehicle. There is a small explosion in the floor. Ferengi's fall to the floor, Night jumps behind the crate as a shield.)
Night: Commander to Pheonix-X, I've got the weapons beam out now!
(Night places combadge on crate and crate full of weapons beams out.)
(Damon turns and bites Daniel's combadge and throws it away. Jem'Hadar fire and destroy the combadge.)
(Jem'Hadar fires at vehicle again and it explodes from the inside. Night and BOB jump out.)

(On the Pheonix-X)
Red: I'm detecting an explosion at the site.
Lt. Commander: Beam them out now!

(On Flortarios III)(On the street)
(Federation officers with commbadges are beamed out. BOB, Night, and Daniel are left.)
(Later, the Jem'Hadar hold the three, and the two left over Ferengi as prisoners.)
(In the cell at the Jem'Hadar hide out.)
Ferengi: At least we're alive.
Other Ferengi: That is not one of the rules of Aquisition!
BOB: I guess we did good? Not including this captured part though.
Daniel: We defintely did everything to a tee. Damon thought he was free to make his transmition with the Jem'Hadar because he thought you were the spy. You beamed down pretending to be the spy, and I was mistaken as the 3rd. Good thing we knew that Armond was the spy.
Night: We have to find a way to get that chip in thier hand, there is some kind of important info on it...
Daniel: And then a way to contact the Pheonix-X.

(In the small room holding cell on Flortarios III)
(Inside the cell is Captian X, Commander Gotens, Ferengi traveler BOB, Ferengi dealer Wenk, other Ferengi dealer Kahmeh.)
(Late at night Night wakes up)
Night: Ugh. It's so hot on this planet, but I hear their storms are ferocious.
(BOB wakes up)
BOB: Hey, look at the gaurd, he's falling asleap.
Night: Oh great, now not only the smell, we have to put up with the snoring.
BOB: Hey he's falling onto the control panel. His elbow just hit the control panel!
Night: How ironic. Don't thier elbows have a tusk or elbow-horn thingy?
(The force field of the cell goes away)
BOB: We can escape!
Night: Shh!! You wait there, I'll take his weapon.
(Night tries to take the weapon under the gaurds arm)
BOB: Shouldn't we wake the Captian?
Night: Naw, I can do this, trust me. Uh-oh!
(Other gaurd walks into the room)
Gaurd: Hey! What do you think you are doing!?
Night: Uhh....gettin jiggy wit it?
BOB: Na na na na na nana...
Gaurd: Get back in there!!
BOB: Shhh!! Do you wanna wake up the Captian?
(Gaurd pushes Night back into the cell, and turns on the force field.)
Night: Where is the Captian anyway?
BOB: He's that miniature 20th century car in the corner over there.
Night: Dang man...

(On the Pheonix-X)
Kugo: ...That sort of action is illogical.

(In the holding cell at Flortarios III)
BOB: You primordial dork. What is gettin jiggy wit it? I wouldn't blame the Alpha if he just shot you.
Night: At least I tried.
BOB: You ordered me to stay put.
Night: Well...I'm so frustrated, I don't know what to say. You are relieved.
Kamheh: Broom, Broom. I love playing with model cars.
Night: Stop that at once! That is the captain.
(Captain turns back into human form.)
Daniel: What were you thinking? I kept on beeping my horn. With ears those big, how can you not hear me? I should just attack you with an ear swab.
BOB: Wait. Everyone gather around, I have a plan. Captain, aren't you a god to the Jem'Hadar?
Daniel: Yes.
BOB: So why don't you do something Godlike?
Daniel: Oh yeah.
(The Captain explains to the Jem'Hadar that he is a God. The Jem'Hadar let him go but not the other prisoners. The Captain turns into Jackie Chan and beats the guards up. He later frees the others.)
Daniel: You guys, grab their weapons.
Night: Captain, I think I can reach the Pheonix-X from this console.
Daniel: Make it so.
(The other guards are arriving.)
Daniel: Commander, close those doors.
Night: I got it.
BOB: I don't think those doors will hold off very much longer.
Daniel: Take your positions and get ready to defend yourselves. How is it going Commander?
Night: I've almost broken through their computer. I just have to contact the Pheonix-X.
BOB: They are busting through the doors.
(Boom Boom, they're in. Phazers go firing everywhere.)
Night: I've got it.
Daniel: 5 to beam up now!
( they beam up)

(Later)
(On the Xena)
Aeris: So watsup today?
Lieutenant Cmdr Wing: I dunno, but I'm think'n of painting one of our shuttle crafts' sea-foam-green...waddaya think?
Aeris: I think you should not quit your helm position.
 
 

U.S.S. Xena

(On the run-away Cardassian ship)
(In the holding cells)(Night and Daniel each in seperate ones)
Night: Captian, are you alright?
Daniel: Ugh...no...
Night: What happened to you? It looks like you are falling apart, all of you is pealing. Uck.
Daniel: It's that device over there...uhh...
Night: Yeah?
Daniel: It keeps me from changing shape...a...and regenera..ting... A-at this ra..t...rate...I will die in 2 hours...
Night: What do they want with us?
Daniel: They want to know where the home planet for the Founders is...
(Meloneus enters)
Night: What's goin' on!? I thought we'd signed a temporary truse?
Meloneus: I thought you'd learn from last time...not to trust me.
Daniel: ...ugh...last time?
(Meloneus turns his head)
Meloneus: Long ago, he captured me on the Xena when we were under attack from Romulans. Many people died on the ship and I was his last hope to help control the ship. He trusted me with the ship but I took control over it! Kayahahahah! I beamed onto a Romulan ship before ha took back control over the ship. And then I took over that ship! Kayahahahaah!! Now... I have the key to the Founders planet and a Federation hostage....

(On the Pheonix-X)
Wallace: The Federation has sent three local starships, the Defiant, the Xena, and a Klingon Bird of Prey.
Armond: Good, keep velocity. How much longer 'till interception?
Red: About 25 minutes sir.
Ensign Dan: Do you think that's enough? Just the four of us? Don't you think the Cardassians will come up with more back up than four?
Armond: No, he's still too far away from a Cardassian base.
Red: External sensors read there are five other Cardassian vessels heading towards Meloneus' ship.
Ensign Dan: I told you so.

(In the holding cells)
Daniel: ughhh.......I'm losing my consciousness. I can't hold .......on.
Night: Captain! Captain! Can you hear me?
Daniel: Yes.
Night: I thought you lost conscious.
Daniel: I did. So don't ask me any questions.
Night: We have to get out of here. Wait there's a default in that disruptor. You can still change shape! I have a plan. But I need you to complete it.
Daniel: I'll try my best. What did you have in mind?
Night: Okay, I need you to try to get through those terillium bars. I know you can get through them. Just concentrate.
Daniel: I can't.
Night: You need to. Try!
Daniel: UGGhhhhh....
Night: That's the idea. There you go.
Daniel: Squish Squish
Night: Understood.
Daniel: Squish Squash
(Captain slides through the bars. He now is in his gelatin state like a puddle on the ground.)
Night: Captain, I need you to disable that disruptor. Go, I know you can do it.
(Captain reaches up from the puddle and crushes it with his remaining
strength. He then regains his energy.)
Daniel: I'm back. Now they are going to pay.
(Captain is on his way out of the door.)
Night: Wait. How about me? Free me!
Daniel: Oh yeah. I forgot. Oopsy!
Night: Uh!
Daniel: Hey now! Our fisrt task is to find out our location and contact the ship.
(The ship suddenly shakes from being hit by the Federation.)
(On bridge)
Meloneus: All hands to battlestations! Red Alert. We are under attack from the Federation.
(In a hallway)
Daniel: Great! Now we know that they are here.
Night: We just have to contact them.

(On the Pheonix-X)
Armond: Initiate Multi-Vector Seperation mode. Target the Cardassian vessel holding our men. Attack mode Alpha Omega Beta.
(The ship seperates into three. All the components attack the Cardassian ship. The rest of the ships attack the other back up Cardassian ships, giving it cover.)

(On the Cardassian ship with Meloneus.)
Meloneus: You over there. Counter now. maneuver around them now!

(In a hallway)
Daniel: We have to arm ourselves.
Night: What's in here? Oh it's an armory. Here, phazer rifles.
Daniel: Great. Let's make our way up to the bridge.
Night: Okay.
(The ship is shaking and rumbling because of the attack.)

(On bridge)
Helm: Meloneus, the Pheonix-X is hailing us.
Meloneus: On screen.
*Armond: You are messing with the wrong people. We'll pound your ship into scrap metal.
Meloneus: I beg to differ.
*Armond: I bet.
*BOB: How much?
*Armond: Shut up. You are ruining the moment.
Meloneus: We still have your Captain.
(The Captain and Commander enter the bridge)
Daniel: I beg to differ.
Meloneus: I just said that. Doesn't matter. I'll just blow up the ship. Self-destruct initi-
Night: Oh shut up.
(Commander phazers him.)
Daniel: Good job. Pheonix-X, we are ready to go now. Beam us out. And beam these Cardassians to the brig. Wallace, I want you to Tractor this ship. Captain out.
(The other Cardassian ships are either destroyed or has retreated.)
