The group begin to question Gibit, the Ferengi Mekor apprehended, in an effort to find out who is behind the laced food. Eventually, he admits that he was employed through a broker and doesn't know who the actual employer is, only that he's called Mr. Fox. After releasing Gibit into the custody of security, they begin to investigate further. Vahin accesses security footage of the ship associated with the Big Lobebowski which reveals three suspicious non Ferengi, two who are Orions in strange armour, but the other is in a cloak shrouding their face. They decide to lure Mr. Fox into the open. Using Gibit's personal device, Freck requests an audience to 'renegotiate' contract terms and intend to use him as bait to lure the man out of hiding. Another search reveals that part of a strange symbol on the armour is Breen and indicates hazardous materials, though why it is used in that manner is unknown. | The group begin to question Gibit, the Ferengi Mekor apprehended, in an effort to find out who is behind the laced food.

As they discuss details on how to accomplish their goal, DeVeau receives a call about a new ensign who has just arrived. She directs the officer to bring the ensign to her. | As they discuss details on how to accomplish their goal, DeVeau receives a call about a new ensign who has just arrived. She directs the officer to bring the ensign to her. Ensign Xiron arrives and DeVeau updates her. Mekor returns to his stall, while the four officers prepare to meet Mr. Fox. | ||
Once preparations are done, they wait in the alley at the appointed time, DeVeau, Vahin, and Xiron hidden behind crates while Freck remains visible. Fox arrives and Freck points out he knows something bigger is going on. Fox brings out a vial which contains a more potent version of the substance, and reveals drones laden with the stuff. He prepares to get rid of Freck, but a firefight breaks out as DeVeau and the other officers fire their phasers. Freck is briefly taken by an Orion, but manages to get out of his grasp, grabs a phaser and stuns one. Eventually, Fox is subdued and Vahin sees to Freck's nose which was broken in the fight. Xiron deals with the drones, has the substance beamed into space, and readies them for redeployment of an antitoxin. | |||

Bored with his predicament, Zorkal intends to head out into the crowd, and his escorts follow. They wander through, looking at stalls, and the ambassador stops at one selling toys. They are then joined by Ensign Clara Halloway and accosted by the Andorian reporter, Jarn Th’Braxa. Th’Braxa soon hurries off and the group continue. Zorkal indicates he’s interested in seeing the behind the scenes of the stadium, and ignores the protest of his escorts. The Cardassians who pulled the prank earlier greet them just before they step through to the inner parts of the stadium, but Zorkal ignores them and the group plunges down. They traverse through several hallways then come to some sort of lift. After fiddling with the controls, Zorkal figures out how to work it, and it goes into motion, taking them deeper into the bowels of the stadium. | Bored with his predicament, Zorkal intends to head out into the crowd, and his escorts follow.

They come out deep in the depths of the stadium into what looks like some sort of basement or storage area. Cautiously, they emerge, and hear some sort of machinery. Although a lot of junk is in their way, Zorkal finds another door leading even further in, behind which they can hear the sounds. The group ponders about how to get in and it's suggested they could phaser their way through, but Zorkal notes that Captain Aria might not appreciate the damage done because of it. | They come out deep in the depths of the stadium into what looks like some sort of basement or storage area.

With their way bared, the group retraces their steps and come out where they entered. They see their dreadlock friend, then head back to the box where they witness the end of the Invitational. Afterward, a reporter approaches them. | ||
