The Golden Klaxut Market was shaped like a gilded egg on its end and looked roughly three or four stories tall. It felt like it had been built almost suspiciously quickly, and that’s the way Norb liked it–shock and awe the customer.

Since his beloved great-grand grawmpee, that stingy old goat, built the very first Klaxut Market on Ferenghar, they’d sold the finest home goods and accessories across the galaxy–the gimmick was, all the items on display were holograms until the dear customer handed over the latinum.

Since taking over the company and relocating it’s corporate headquarters to Oed V, the Golden Klaxut Market was to be his pride and joy.

Inside, 2 floors of gorgeous home goods, jewelry, clothes, and accessories from Alpha Centauri to Zeta Prima, staffed by the hottest young Risans he could snipe from the paradise planets and cruising vessels.

It was to be a shopping destination, a community gathering place, an art gallery. Heck, his family lived on the top floor.

But today, he was the only one behind the counter, so to speak, for the soft grand opening. Perhaps there’d big a big official to do at some point, but for now–just Norb and the showroom.

Hopefully they’d be breaking down the doors.

Any minute now.

-Norb, Owner & CEO of Klaxut Markets

The doors opened and a Deltan walked in. They were tall and well dressed, and carried themselves with an air of quiet confidence. They looked at the displays and smiled, then looked at Norb. “This is really quite an elegant solution to displaying goods. And your holo-emitters are very good as well. Are you the proprietor?” they asked.

Ooh, a Deltan. Looks rich, Norb thought to himself, rubbing his hands together with a little gusto. The first customer could tell a lot about how a venture would go. Rich? Rich meant good. And a sale? Even better.

“Proprietor and CEO of the Golden Klaxut Market and Klaxut Market Enterprises Incorporated, yes, thank you!” Norb said, preening for a moment. “We have been in the process of relocating our entire corporate headquarters to Oed V–various tax reasons, you know–and today, my good friend, is our soft opening. And you, my first guest. If you’d excuse me, are you a resident of our fair community?”

-Norb

A smile played across the individual’s face. “Resident, yes. Not long tenured, however. I have been here a little over a year. I, too, own a business here.” and they smiled. “No, not a competitor. I sell books and rare tomes and such. I also provide archival and technical advice on storage and displaying of such items.”

A range of emotions flickered across Norb’s lobes, briefly.

Displaying goods, Norb thought. He should have known the rich Deltan must also be a proprietor of some business. Maybe he could salvage a sale out of this anyway.

“Rare tomes? I will have to pay you a visit some time. I’m not a reader myself–Ferengi Rule of Aquisition 8: Small print leads to large risk–but my dear wife can’t get enough of the things,” Norb said, trying to be charming.

“From one business owner to another, we must discuss how we can work together and support one another! Especially since you’re not my competition. Would you like a brief tour of the Golden Klaxut?”
