As the Cobb, Stone, and Kastil entered the transporter room the chief had just initiated the transporter. Three Ferengi bio signatures were coming across, the program checked for weapons and finding no energy weapons finished rematerializing them. Olash stood straight, but still at a diminutive stature. “I am DaiMon Olash. This is Zanic and Borrick.” Borrick shuffled his feat, with a hunched back, in the very stereo typical caveman walk over Ferengi males. He looked over Stone and Kastil with a less than appropriate appraisal in his eyes. He backhanded Zanic good naturedly on the arm and nodded towards Stone, “It is a shame that one is clothed, but that one,” he pointed rudely at Kastil, “If all hooman females look like that, I would clothe them too.”

Olash turned on Borrick growling in Ferengi, but the universal translator picking it up, “Shut up fool. Law 94 Females and finances don’t mix. Keep your lobes to yourself.” Borrick looked chastised and stopped his shuffling, standing at the ferengi version of attention. Olash turned back to Cobb. It never hurt to butter up the mark, “Forgive him Captain Cobb. it’s his first time off world and has never seen a clothed female. He has much to learn about acquisitions.” He stepped off the transporter padd, but noticing the militaristic stance of Stone, stayed well out of striking distance of any of the crew members. ‘He who ducks under the table lives to profit another day.’

DaiMon Olash

If looks could kill, the Ferengi called Borrick would combust into flame where he stood. Stone immediately remembered why she hated dealing with Ferengi.
She wanted to give Kastil a tip, to aim for their ears, if she ever took a swing at one… but for now she held her tongue. Stone’s law number 2.. or was it 3. Who cares… Don’t let the enemy know their words might have hurt you. They are sure to use it more often, if you do.
