Previously on Reflections : Arcadia
 
The crew of the Ferengi freighter Arcadia hit a snag in their plans as they have a member of the enemy aboard, Cardassian T`Pok Melore has come to observe them on their "mission" to Rura Penthe
 
It has been a very difficult few days with both T`Pok and the crew trying not to kill one another, but now, at last, they are within sight of Rura Penthe, where things will either go very well... or very very badly.
 
Meanwhile, despite early plans, to murder the tag-a-long and then make a run for it, a mysterious figure, communicated with the Captain that they should play the game for now... the question is, can we really be sure this anonymous figure is really on our side?
 
The answers to these questions and many more await you next on Arcadia - Reflections Part V
