“Low on fuel the crew of Moya decided to dock at an unknown space station. To Chrichton's delight he quickly learned that there was a stable wormhole. Unfortunately, by that time that Rygel had discovered Quark's dabo tables and had wracked up a sizeable debt. Quark proposed a wager for Rygel's freedom...

A game of Bloodbowl. Quark had a brand new program for his holosuite and would be willing to forgive Rygel's debt if they could beat the crew of DS9 at a game of BloodBowl. The only catch being that if they lose Quark would get Moya.

The match started with Jadzia Dax dashing down the sidelines only to be flattened by Aeryn Sun. But Quark was up to his usual skullduggery, he had convinced Gul Dukat to go aboard Moya and try and criple the ship. If his side lost, he was hoping to buy Moya at a discounted price or at the very least make some good latinum on the necessary replacement parts. The DRDs were up to the task and captured the saboteur but not before needing to do serious repairs on Moya.

Sabotaging Moya wasn't the only trick that Quark had up his sleeve. He'd adjusted the Bloodbowl program slightly, as Crichton would find out when the ball was knocked into the crowd. Rather than starting another down like good ole fashioned American football, the fans preceded to pass the ball across the pitch towards Ezri Dax. Only Chiana's quick blitz across the field prevented the score. The game was tied 0-0 at half-time.

In the locker room Crichton came up with a brilliant plan. Get that scary lobster-head called Worf to visit Moya. With their best player busy responding to the early saboteur crisis, it would be easy to score. The plan worked brilliantly and Chrichton pulled the trigger on a perfect pass catch and run play with Zhaan and Aeryn.

On the ensuing kickoff, Crichton kicked the ball to the now returned Worf thinking that the big galoot wouldn't know what to do with the ball. Worf charged blindly downfield only to be swarmed. The plan would have worked perfectly except for Quark's "friendly" fans who tossed the ball all the way across the field.

But that wasn't the only dirty trick Quark was up to, he had snuck out of the holosuite to go disable Talyn as his hired guns had failed in taking out Moya. Quark was successful at accomplishing what Gul Dukat couldn't, mind you on a much smaller vessel.

After being soundly embarassed on the Bloodbowl pitch, Worf decided he'd go investigate the sabotage that had occured on Moya. Worf heard some noise on the supposedly unoccupied Moya, so he drew his phaser and continued exploring. He stumbled across pilot and before he could even think, he had fired and fatally wounded Pilot. A battle ensued on Moya with Worf avoiding the wrath of the DRDs.

Meanwhile Crichton was busy fending off the DS9 inhabitants and their fans along the sidelines until time expired.

Rygel was freed and quite full thanks to his discovery of the replicators. But what will the crew of Moya do without Pilot?
