 The leader of the Ferengi, Grand Nagus Zek and his son Krax suddenly appear in Quark s bar. Quark and his brother Rom are in awe and quickly arrange for everything Zek needs, including precious time in the holosuites. Zek praises Quark s business instinct for opening a bar near a wormhole that wasn t even discovered yet, but Quark fears for the worst. He is convinced Zek wants to take over his bar for free and the he won t take no for an answer. Zek has different plans however. He tells Quark a conference will be held in the bar where Ferengi politicians will discuss how to exploit the business opportunities in the Gamma Quadrant. Zek tells the members he won t be the Ferengi leading the Alliance into the Gamma Quadrant and will appoint his successor.
