The bridge of the marauder had no center seat, but there were several consoles arranged around a central spherical viewer. Grak preferred to command from the ship’s tactical console, so that if violence became necessary, he could take personal charge of that side of the business. Grak took his seat at the weapons board, and brought the marauder’s firepower online.

He stroked the top of the console, looking forward to unveiling to Starfleet the modifications he had made over the years.

“Challenger is changing course and arming weapons,” one of the Ferengi reported. “They undoubtedly see us.”

“Drop the cloak.” There was no sense in continuing to pretend they weren’t here, especially when decloaking closer to the Challenger would mean they were more vulnerable to attack before they could fire. Much better to decloak now, and meet Challenger on more even terms. “Hail them.”

After a couple of seconds, the lined face and white hair of an elderly hew-mon appeared in the center sphere. “This is Captain Montgomery Scott of the Starship Challenger. Stand down your weapons.”

“Captain Scott, I will not do that. You’ve killed a number of my friends today, but that’s all right, since my crew now inherits their shares of the fee for this mission. So, I’m feeling generous. Turn your ship around, and leave this system. You don’t have to go for long. Come back tomorrow if you want. I won’t be around to stop you.”
