			Remember when the Ferengis opened
			up the Timor Two mine... and
			there was a ten point drop in the
			price of pergium? That came at a
			bad moment. We were overextended
			on some loans... our cash
			reserves were depleted... and a
			Jem'Hadar raid destroyed an
			entire shipment before it reached
			the refinery on Rigel Four.

					EZRI
			So you turned to the Syndicate!

					JANEL
			They came to me! They offered us
			a way out and I took it! I did
			what I had to do.
				(to Yanas)
			And I don't remember you asking a
			lot of questions when our cash
			problems were resolved overnight.

					YANAS
			Because I trusted you --
			obviously that was a mistake.

					EZRI
				(to Janel)
			What about Morica?

					JANEL
			About a month after Bokar
			arranged the loan, he came to me
			and said it was time to return
			the favor. There was a woman who
			needed a job... with a salary,
			but without any actual work
			involved. He said she was the
			widow of one of their associates
			and they needed to take care of
			her.
