Ensign Tho’Bi - Do You Feel Lucky? Punk!

[Tobi]

((Auditorium - Operations Center, Deck 5, USS Artemis-A ))

Cole: What are you planning to do on Ferenginar, if we can ask?

Bergman looked... unsettled, and Jira leaned closer.

Bergman: I… ::falls silent again for a moment to collect himself:: I… I’m not going to visit Ferenginar. To be true, I’m leaving tomorrow. Temporary transfer for another duty assignment. ::pauses:: So, no, I cannot share anything that would catch my eye. Sorry.

Bergmen: Anyone want to share their plans?

Tho'Bi: Knives. Lots of knives ::grins:: ::more seriously:: …I need to replace the Ushaan-tor blade I lost on Galaris IV. 

Cole: I’m considering visiting the Ferengi Center for Forged Arts and the Dominion War Memorial.

Jaran: I intend to visit the Sacred Marketplace. Take in some of the local culture. Try not to lose all my latinum in one place. Maybe see if I can figure out their clerical structure.

Cole: I’m not opposed to shopping, I might meet up with you, if that’s ok.

Imril: The Ferengi Heritage Conglomerate puts on regular historical recreations of famous ancient trade caravans. Absolute tourist fare, probably, but I think I might go on one. Part of one.

Bergman: That’s a great ideas, everyone! I wanna hear more!

Tho'Bi: The Tech Markets always have non Federation tech …always interesting …and sometimes legal.

Cole: Response

Imril: Is anyone looking forward to seeing what kind of entertainments they put on? I’ve heard stories about people who came to visit Fernginar and never managed to leave their hotels because the streaming shows are so addictive.

Bergman: Yeah, Ferengi TV shows. Mostly buddy cop dramas, and shallow workplace sitcoms, so if you like them, be my guest.

Tho'Bi: Zee's favorite was ‘Dirty Zipp’. ::gravelly:: …Zipp was a cop …did whatever to keep the streets clean …he was mean …real mean.

Cole: Response

Bergman: Just be warned - there is an overabundance of deceptive advertising and product placement, plus, in the hostels for inexperienced travellers, for their rooms holovision, that instrument can scan your consciousness and produce custom-made shows and advertising specifically designed to keep you watching, okay? So, be careful. No staying in these cheap hotels, right? We won't drag you out if you get addicted. ::pauses:: Do we have a mutual understanding?

Tho'Bi: ::points finger like a gun at Bergman:: ::gravelly:: Yeah… I know what you’re thinking …has Zipp depleted all of the power cell or only nearly all of the power cell. To tell the truth, in all the excitement and profit, Zipp kind of lost track, himself …of the power cell, not the profit …but since this is a barely legal Romulan Disruptor, that I picked up for a real bargain, and would vaporise your head clean off …you've gotta ask yourself …do I feel lucky? And if I do feel lucky, why am I not at the Dabo Tables? …well do you? Punk! 

Cole/Imril: Response

Bergmen: Ok, so… Are you ready to go? Full of information, pumped to see all that Ferenginar can offer?

Jaran: I think I'm ready to go. The Sacred Marketplace awaits! Maybe I'll see one or two of you there.

Tho'Bi: ::stands up:: ::to Bergman:: Yeah… thanks Lieutenant ::bows:: 

There seemed little point in mentioning it. He could already hear the rain.
