1A   NEW ANGLE

	as an agitated ROM rushes into the bar.

					ROM
			Brother! I just talked to
			Moogie. She says Grand Nagus Zek
			has disappeared.

					QUARK
			What do you mean, "disappeared?"

	Quark's attention is still mainly focused on Bashir
	and Ezri.

					ROM
			He left her a note saying he was
			going on a business safari to
			open new territories for
			financial exploitation.

					QUARK
			That's our Nagus.

					ROM
			He said held be back in five days
			-- that was twelve days ago!

	That gets Quark's full attention.

					QUARK
			Twelve days?

					ODO
			Has he done this before?
