We're on Deep Space Nine, people. This is not a drill! We are on DEEP. SPACE. NINE! Yes, the Cerritos is headed to that tacky Cardassian eye-sore, just next to the Bajoran Celestial Temple / Wormhole to the Gamma Quadrant to help with some diplomatic negotiations.
...And when those negotiations go terribly wrong (because of, you guessed it, Quark!), it's just a good thing the right people were in the right place at the right time. This episode has everything: romance, interpretive dance, piracy, and gambling!
And [akie cries a single tear]: Sisko's baseball!!!!!!!
