The news coming out of the Alpha and Beta quadrant was grim. News of the normal sabre rattling between the Cardassians and the Romulans had actually turned to a shooting war. Starfleet was already starting to get its nose caught in door between the two, and was going to have its hands full.

Walt sat with his feet up on the console, watching as the news rolled in on the ticker. Reports of actions and counter actions coming across. Wild speculation by the pretty news anchor hosting the show on the galactic net, and all he could do was smile.

A smile that turned to a grin.

A grin that turned into a full blown laugh.

"For once, I was right! Hot damn was I right, I knew it was timed to get the hell out of there!" Walt yelled to no one in particular. He grabbed the cold sandwich and took a large bite out of it.

"Maybe they'll even close down the wormhole, put us in a better situation." Walt stood up and stretched his back. The worries of the Alpha and Beta Quadrants weren't his concern anymore, as long as it didn't interfere with business here.

"Alright, computer, fire up the command and control sequence and get yourself ready to go. We've got some money to make."
