Contact: caitn at mindspring dot com Series: DS9 Codes: Qu; drabble Rating: PG-13 Archive: ASCEML yes, everyone else please ask Copyright: September 2004 Disclaimer: Paramount owns the characters, I just take 'em out for a spin every once in a while. Author's Note: Written for Stephen's Bad Title Challenge. Summary: Quark's fantasies take a horrible turn. "A Few Quarks of the System" by Cait N. Quark rubbed his hands together in anticipation. So far so good with his "appropriation" and "modification" of Bashir's secret agent program. Three days since he'd made the changes and started using the program, and he hadn't been discovered. He entered the holosuite and ordered, "Computer, run Quark DD36." The room transformed into a lush penthouse suite. Quark shivered with excitement. Instead of the anticipated naked Jadzia walking into the room, a naked and wrinkly Quark sauntered in. "What?!" The real Quark stumbled back in disbelief and revulsion. "What's the matter?" the duplicate Quark asked. "Not quite what you were expecting?"
