 "One scrapped starship in the here and now won't make one iota of difference," Cole explained while shifting his seat to rest his elbow on the table.  "The Republic... and it IS the Republic, let me assure you... has no intrinsic value to you, except that of a bargaining chip.  I'm authorized to compensate you for your trouble, shall we say... twelve CFI replicators?"
-The offer gave Ekoor pause.  It was generous to say the least, and while his salvage crew had already gleaned every valuable piece of hardware the old-style Galaxy-class ship could offer, it was paltry winnings.  A wiped computer core... a burned-out sensor grid... even the warp core was of a model several levels below Starfleet's current technology level.  There wasn't anything useful he could bring back to Central Command to the salvage operation was even worth the trouble.  Still, the offer smelled vaguely of desperation, as if there was something that the human before him wanted badly.  Did he want it bad enough to bargain?

 "Fifteen," Ekoor asserted, offering no reason for his upping of the ante.

 "Which Republic is THIS one?" Kira asked tersely.
-"An ore barge from a Federation mining colony on Dytallix B," he replied.  "The colony is uninhabited, except for the holographic miners."

 "But why are they HERE?" hissed Kira.
-"Because I inadvertently summoned them with my database query," Vic replied.  "As far as Mister Nog and I can surmise, the so-called 'fleet-formation' program is an optical-based subspace-networked function that was planted in the original Constitution-class starship Republic over forty years ago.  The programming language suggests it was a beta-test version of some kind, but it was never deactivated after Task Force One was disbanded."

 "...again, doctor.  WHY are they here?"  She accentuated her repeated request with raised eyebrows and a hint of 'get-to-the-point' in her voice.
