Shortly after leaving, they experienced power flucuations and failures of every kind. A wormhole appeared and sucked in the ship, and upon exiting the wormhole, they found themselves orbiting Earth in the year 1872, with serious changes to American history.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
COM Feringinar Home World: Attn Grand Nagus --  in an unprovoked attack, a Ferengi Daimon has attempted to seize an established Federation station.  He did this by direct interference with the USS Quirinus, and all subsequent actions are a result of his refusal to stand down.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
COM Nagus: I was just sending you information.  I think your Daimon is about to entangle Ferenginar in a less than profitable war.
Host ASM_Bruce says:
<Grand Nagus>: I am fully aware of the situation, Captain. That is why I have personally chosen to deal with this matter myself.
OPS_LtJg_Sanchez says:
@<CSec_Cmdr_Powers> :: nods, watching intently ::

COM Nagus: As you wish.
Host ASM_Bruce says:
COM Q <Grand Nagus> CO: Now, Captain. Since this was an attack on your station, I place the Daimon and his cronies in your custody to be tried under Federation Law as your Starfleet Command sees fit.

Host ASM_Bruce says:
