allandrogynouscreatures:son-of-bajor:el-im: Inktober 2020: Deep Space Nine EditionDay 31: “Crawl” - From the Script from The Magnificent Ferengi, with Quark and Rom crawling around in the station access tunnels: “[Quark approaches an access panel and pushes it open]SISKO: Can I help you, gentlemen? QUARK (to Sisko): We must’ve taken a wrong turn. SISKO: Looks that way. [Rom and Quark inch back into the conduit and close the access panel behind them. Sisko smiles to himself and returns to his work.] Quark Week concludes with Quark and his brother Rom from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Omg this scene is one of my favorites. I think this just summarizes the mood on Deep Space Nine. Can you imagine the shitstorm that would ensue if some random civilian (and known criminal!) aboard the Enterprise stumbled into Picard’s ready room? Picard would be furious. There would be an investigation. Will and Worf would get chewed out about procedure. Tense discussions would be had about how the safety of the captain and the ship could be compromised. Security would be increased tenfold. Geordi and Data would be working double shifts in the tubes getting the new measures in place. We can not have the flagship of the fleet and its crew compromised.But on Deep Space Nine, this is just a Tuesday. It’s not even the most bizarre thing that’s happened on a Tuesday. Sisko has Too Much Bullshit™ to deal with on a daily basis for this to even cross his radar as anything other than a slightly-irritating but mostly amusing (and mostly expected) interruption. Of course Quark and Rom are crawling through the ship’s bowels and popping into staff offices by total accident on their way to some other more illegal and/or dangerous activity. That’s just what the fuck happens on this station. He doesn’t get angry. He doesn’t even tell anyone else on his staff what happened. There is no investigation. Whatever Quark is doing isn’t even worth it being on his fucking radar. There’s so much other bullshit he has to deal with, and he doesn’t want to add any paperwork to the already gigantic stack of reports everyone already has to submit detailing what it’s like to work aboard this trash heap.Him and Quark are almost even in agreement on this. Like they both, in that moment, agree that it’s best to just pretend it didn’t happen and continue with their respective shitty days where they have to do some ridiculous things to solve a problem that shouldn’t exist in the first place. -- source link
