"Don't you think I don't know what you're up to now!" The shapeshifter stomped over to the cringing Ferengi. "Constable! How nice to see you today!" He smiled and tried desperately to avoid his gaze. "Where are they, Quark?" "The customers, um, a bit too early I suppose for most of them. Sleeping it off, you know." "Not them! The tribbles!" "Tribbles? Hm, nope haven't seen any of those today. But then, they're not part of the normal lunch crowd." The barkeep started to refill and watered whatever bottles needed to be refilled or watered. Odo grabbed him and dragged him halfway over the counter, spilling a bottle of a particularly noxious green liquid. "It's my duty to protect the helpless, whomever they are. And under my watch, I'm protecting them!" Quark snorted and removed the Constable's hand from his collar. "Really, as if they're sentient or something. You're just protecting because they're cute, fuzzy and purr. Unless you're planning on starting a vole protection society soon." "Where are they Quark? We had millions, now we have none!" He waved his hand disdainfully. "I have given some to Starfleet to study. It's not like I threw them down the waste disposal." "Quark, I'm losing my patience...." "All right, all right, well some went to the Klingons.." He hrumphed. "Bat'leth practice, no doubt." "And some to the Cardassians." "I expect to see tribble fur coats in Garak's any day now." "And some my cousin took back to Ferenginar!" Quark was tired of talking over Odo. "Oh? And what's he going to do with them?" "Like I say, they're cute, furry and purr. Once we find a way to get their population under control, we'll sell the neutered ones. We'll have a fortune on our hands! " "This isn't cousin Galen, then?" "No, no, cousin Furby!" ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ ASCEM messages are copied to a mailing list.
