The sweat was gushing from his head. He kept reading the court summons over and over again. Insurance fraud. They even sent over a starfleet security officer to arrest him. Sure, his bodyguards had killed the officer, but they split when they realized that the shipyard was being taken away. He had lost everything. Everything except his freedom, which they were trying very hard to change.

But really? Insurance fraud? Why would they dare? He shook his greasy fist at the screen, the sweat glistening off of his face. Letting out a deep growl, he punched his screen. There was the sound of a break, but not from the screen, and a sharp pain erupted from his hand. "Dammit! Argghh, my hand! Stupid bastards! I knew it was too sweet a deal for them to actually follow through! Stupid antennae head! I've been swindled! Hoodwinked! Bamboozled! I'll kill em' all! Well... I won't kill them... I'll hire someone to kill them! Dammit! I have no goddamn money! Shit! What the hell am I going to do??? I've gotta run, gotta hide, get more mon...." He trailed off as he saw a communication come through from one of his old contacts.

On the viewscreen, A tellarite had a grin on his face, and began speaking. "Smythe, you fat ugly bastard. Still slimy as ever, I see." The dockmaster spit back, "I don't have time for this shit. They're trying to arres.." The tellarite cut him off. "Look at the video I just sent you. Some old friends. We're even now."

Looking at the video, he saw pictures of some of the warden crew... and some very... extreme amounts of money. "Ha! I'll take them for every goddamn strip of latinum! The day is mine!!!!!"
