Business as Usual (episode) . He then reveals he is practically ruined. Having been banned from doing business with other Ferengi, he is unable to invest or manage his money and owes money on multiple loans with the bar as collateral. He proposes to Quark to go into business with him as a weapons dealer. Gaila just needs Quark for his people skills, offers him 5% of any sales he assists with, and assures Quark that the industry is growing so fast that within a month, all Quark's debts could be paid off, within six months he could have his business license back, and within a year he could own his very own moon. Quark morosely says, . Jake pops by and Miles explains that, while his wife is on Bajor attempting to get a blight under control, his regular babysitter has had an emergency and is unavailable for the time being. To make matters worse, every time he puts Kirayoshi down, he begins to cry. Jake offers to babysit, as he has had experience watching Vilix'pran's hatchlings, and Miles accepts, as he has to start his shift, but as soon as Kirayoshi is in Jake's arms he begins crying again. Miles takes the baby back and he stops crying as soon as he's in his father's arms. With no other choice, Miles takes Kirayoshi to work with him. Gaila tells him there is nothing to worry about as Odo just walked by. Gaila then introduces Quark to his partner, Hagath, the principal in their weapons- dealing business. Their new angle, they explain, is to conduct demonstrations inside Quark's holosuites with holographic replicas of the weapons they are peddling – thus avoiding any rules against bringing actual weapons aboard the station. Hagath seems to like Quark, but warns him, . His debts are being paid with his percentage from Hagath, who takes the liberty of transferring the money directly to his creditors.

The Upshot: Business-As-Usual Climate. Given all the considerations discussed above, I propose that a good central estimate of the business-as-usual global warming in 2081-2100 relative to 1986-2005 (based on consensus. Quark protests, but Hagath says he doesn't like his partners to be encumbered by debt (which might divide loyalty or cause complications), which means Quark won't be seeing any actual profits for another few months. Julian urges Miles to put his son down as Miles already has a bad shoulder, but when he does, Kirayoshi cries again. Quark defends himself saying that Odo can't prove a single weapon has been brought on board. Odo insists this is a mere technicality but before he can go further, Captain. Sisko and Major. Kira enter and reluctantly tell him that Hagath and his associates have been declared . Odo is outraged, but Sisko says their hands are tied. Quark begins to gloat, but Sisko and Kira furiously make it clear to Quark that the leniency he's been shown in the past is over, and the next chance they get they'll make sure he gets what's coming to him. All of Hagath's associates thought he was crazy for selling to the dirt- poor Bajorans instead of the wealthy Cardassians, but Hagath predicted that the occupation would end one day, and knows that having a friend in the right place at the right time is sometimes worth more than money. Their conversation is interrupted by one of Hagath's employees, Farrakk, whom Hagath berates for wasting time on Risa while he was supposed to be closing a deal. Hagath fires the man on the spot. Gaila comes and tells Quark that the Regent of Palamar is coming to the station. A rich man who is very particular about how he is treated. Quark says he can't wait to meet him. Gaila then compliments Quark and confides that he has decided to retire and offers Quark the chance to take his place. Quark states that he likes Hagath and would like a bigger share of the profits; but is frightened when Gaila remarks casually that Hagath wasn't satisifed with firing his slacking employee, he sabotaged his ship and had him killed. He tries to reason that the weapons he sells are strictly for defense, but Dax asks him that if he has no guilt, then why is he begging her for forgiveness. Miles questions if his baby just gets sad, and then has some neck pain. His former ally, General. Nassuc has rebelled against him, and the Regent needs an appropriate weapon to . Gaila asks how many casualties is he looking for. The Regent wants eight million to start, but then wants the death toll to rise. Gaila again asks for a figure, to which the Regent answers, around 2. Hagath and Gaila discuss what is the best weapon and consider one that should kill 2. Quark is very disturbed and asks if they can't just wound some instead of killing 2. The Regent gets worried but Hagath quickly steps in and writes off Quark's question as Ferengi humor. He wants to retire, but can't if his hand picked successor can't control his conscience. Quark thinks Hagath is crazy and that killing 2. Gaila then has Quark look out the window says that. Would Quark really turn down 1. As a dead Sisko spins the dabo wheel and tells Quark, . O'Brien explains, in a whisper, that as soon as Miles went down there, Kirayoshi fell asleep in his bassinet and Miles doesn't want to risk waking him. He doesn't know if it's the lights or the hum, but something in the pit pacifies the baby. Sisko, also whispering, tells Miles that he can't keep a baby in the pit and gives him a few days off- duty until his wife returns. Miles agrees, but asks Sisko if at least they can wait until he wakes up. Sisko reluctantly agrees. By this time, the entire Ops crew (including Dax and Kira) have drifted over to gaze adoringly at the baby's cuteness, and Sisko reminds them all they've got work to do. She finds him to return it. He tries to tell her what he's going to do, but she won't listen. After she leaves, Quark steadies himself in the mirror, reminding himself, . What's one life compared with the lives of twenty- eight million people? Quark says the alternative will only kill 1. Gaila panics when he finds Quark with her, but Quark says that they have the chance to make an obscene profit by dealing to both sides, and all they have to do is make sure she and the Regent never cross paths. Then, he dupes Gaila into conducting General Nassuc into the cargo bay where Hagath and the Regent are waiting. As Quark slips out, both sides begin yelling and shooting. Emerging onto the Promenade, Quark casually walks away as Odo and a squad of deputies thunder in the opposite direction towards the cargo bay, hearing reports of phaser fire. Quark smiles as the squad runs past him. Miles tells Worf that Captain Sisko gave him a few days off and asks Worf to hold his son while he gets his bottle, warning Worf that Kirayoshi will begin to cry. However, as he is held by Worf, Kirayoshi doesn't cry – Miles is astounded and places the baby in his bassinet, where he remains quiet. Miles sits down as Worf voices his regret that he didn't see his own son at that age, and tells O'Brien he's a fortunate man. Worf then notices the Chief is fast asleep and quickly exits the O'Briens' quarters. Quark defends his actions, saying he didn't know they were going to start shooting, he just wanted the deal to fall apart. Sisko tells Quark that the Regent is dead and Gaila and Hagath have fled the station with a purification squad after them. Quark tells the Captain he can live with the consequences of his actions, and can think of 2. Regent's death. Sisko says he can think of 2. Quark knows he is forgiven. However, this doesn't stop Sisko from giving him a bill for damages to the cargo bay, which Quark promises to pay in installments. She comments on his ability to get out of tight spots, and he asks for the wheel back, which Dax refuses, saying it's hers now. She spins the wheel again, and they both laugh. I'm sure we're going to accomplish great things together. Don't cross me, Quark. Don't, ever, cross me. Odo could be anywhere.. Fine - I'll put the baby down.. Hagath supplied arms to the Resistance – without him or people like him, we'd all be dead, and the Cardassians would still be in power.. I have cut you a lot of slack in the past. I even looked away once or twice when I could have come down hard on you, but those days are over. Now we may not be able to get you for selling weapons, but you so much as litter on the Promenade and I will nail you to the wall!? They couldn't have had any money. Sometimes, you have to look at the big picture. And, at times, gaining a friend is more important than making profit. Eyes, ears, digestive, pulmonary, and nervous system. There's nothing medically wrong with him.? Can't we just wound some of them? Are you here to sell them? Millions and millions of stars. Millions upon millions of worlds. And right now, half of them are fanatically dedicated to destroying the other half. Now, do you think, if one of those twinkling little lights suddenly went out, anybody would notice? Suppose I offered you ten million bars of gold- pressed latinum to help turn out one of those lights. Would you really tell me to keep my money? You gave it to me, remember? As Hans Beimler explains, . That's something he's proud of, that has significance to him. And he's never completely comfortable with it. He kids himself for a while. He's in denial, but when they start talking about killing twenty- eight million people, he becomes a man in tremendous turmoil. Knowing that Cardassia was, at this point in the series, falling apart, we wondered what would happen if the planet decided to sell off its weapons. We haven't found the bottom line yet. It also referenced the USS Wellington, which was also docked at the station refueling. This caused quite a bit of stress for first- time director Alexander Siddig, but in the end, Tierney's performance was one of the highlights of the show. As assistant director Louis Race points out, . So when the guy had to deliver, he did, and when he did his close- up, nobody stayed in their trailers. They all came over to watch. Having lived with Starfleet for so many years, Quark's begun to acclimatize to their culture, as anyone would who lives in a foreign culture. Because if you live in that culture longer and longer, you begin to take on its characteristics.
