The week-long national syndication window opens for the 77th episode of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, offering the Star Trek explanation for the legendary Roswell UFO incident. 
Stardate not given: As Nog prepares to leave at last for Starfleet Academy, Quark receives a long-awaited payment from his cousin Gaila (the one with the moon): a shuttle of his very own. He offers to take Nog to Earth in it, with Rom piloting – but of course Quark has ulterior motives: smuggling illegal kemosite to Orion on the way back. However, due to the ship’s having been sabotaged by Gaila, the three Ferengi (plus one stowaway) end up going through a time warp to Roswell, New Mexico in 1947. But far from trying to go home while leaving the timeline intact, Quark has other plans …to stay and take over the Earth.
