Stardate: 52037.9

Reman had been on the planet for a few days.  Reman remembered back to
the reason why he had crashed.  Those stupid Starfleet shuttle pods,
Reman thought.  Sure the ship may have been infected with my computer
virus but if Starfleet had made better shuttles then I wouldn't have any
reason to complain about them.  Well it didn't really matter
because luck for latinum was in my favor once again and my family motto
had shown me the way.  After healing my wounds and walking from the crash
site I had found a village of people that I could communicate with.  And
after speaking with them for awhile I found out another interesting
secret about this planet.  It was loaded WITH LATINUM!  After some time
of talking and negotiating I had traded away my shuttle craft, most of
the equipment on board, and a teeth sharpener I had with me to the people
for a few items.  Reman thought to himself how crafty he was.  After all,
the stuff he gave to them if all added up didn't get close to the value
of the items he got.  Reman looked up at the sun as he walked away from
the village and thought how much more beautiful the sun looked through
his new latinum glasses.  The first item Reman had obtained were a pair
of latinum made glasses.  The people of the village aparently found
latinum everywhere and used it to make just about anything.  Reman's
second item he got was one of the latinum mines where the people found
most of their latinum at.  With all the latinum Reman would find at the
mine he could more than triple his current fortune.  So Reman was on his
way to dig up the mine with a latinum shovel, the last item he had
recieved.  Hopefully after getting his profit together he could catch
a ship back to his home.  The villagers had said a ship stopped by their
village from time to time so he could easily buy a ride on the ship back
to Ferenginar.  Reman didn't need Starfleet anymore since he would soon
be rich beyond his dreams.  But first things first, he needed to dig up
the mine......Meanwhile.......

The alien stared at the familiar weapon for a minute and then figured out
a plan quickly.  "Hey don't shoot!"  "Why should I listen to you?" Chaz
asked.  "Because we are twins," the alien replied.  "What are you talking
about?"  Chaz yelled.  "Well awhile ago, your dad never told you, you
were in a transporter accident that created an exact duplicate of you
and I am that duplicate.  I have been looking for you everywhere and now
I have found you!"  Chaz looked at the floor, his brain straining to
think if what the alien said was true.  Upon seeing Chaz lower the gun a
little bit, the alien saw his chance to attack.  The alien grabbed Etely
and ran at Chaz, using her as a human shield.  Chaz was startled and
fired the gun, hitting Etely several times.  The alien threw Etely to the
ground when he reached Chaz and then knocked him down with one punch. 
With just a thought, the alien transported himself and Chaz to the alien ship.  
Chaz hit the ground and then looked up to see ropes coming out of the
ship and surrounding him.  "Ha, you fool.  Your mind isn't as quick or as
strong as mine.  You can no longer control this ship because I changed
the type of brain waves it reponds to and you can't just change those now
can you?"  Chaz suddenly felt really bad because he had shot that nice
looking girl.  Chaz wondered how she was, "Is that girl I shot ok?" 
"Well not that it matters to you but she is alive.  But even with her
enhanced healing it is going to take weeks maybe even months for her to
even move or speak again.  I mean you hit her at close range with my most
powerful gun several times.  Any normal person would have died but she is
alive, barely.  I should kill you for wrecking my soldier but I still
might have use for you.....No wait I don't!!! Ha ha ha!"  Having said
that a door opened behind Chaz that threw him outside the ship and into
the cold void of space.  Chaz immediately died in the vacuum and 
sub-zero temperatures.  After watching Chaz die the alien looked
back to a view screen and saw the Equinox.  He hailed them and saw
Captain Mason.  "Hey pops.  Time to die!"  Was all the alien said and
then cut the transmission.  After that short message he began firing
several shots at the Equinox, intending to destroy that ship once and for
all.
