Cousin Gaila has owned a shuttle to Quark for many years. Now
Quark's shuttle has arrived. He asks Rom to check for any anomalies, but says the ship is fine.
Now Quark wants to test the ship for durability. His destination is Earth to drop his nephew Nog
to Starfleet Academy, at the same time delivering Keymosite, a deadly compound deemed illegal.
But whilst on the way to Earth, they find that the command sequencers have been sabotaged,
thus when they try to escape, they travel backwards in time to the year 1947 - place Roswell. In
the reversal of fortune, they become the aliens from the reported downed UFO that many believe
crashed in Roswell during this time. The famous Roswell incident.
Once their universal translators begin working, Quark tries to con the primitive earthlings,
but Odo prevents him as he tells him that he must return to the present time period with
them.
