Stardate 52039.0

     Reman was busy unloading another several pounds of latinum.  He had 
reached the mine late in the day and had been digging all night until the
morning.  After he had made it to the mine, Reman immedietely began excavating
the latinum.  Reman just couldn't believe what a large deposit of latinum was 
in the mine.  Each time he scooped out some rock and dirt, there was always a 
bunch of latinum for him to put on a pile outside the mine.  This large 
abundance of latinum excited Reman so much that he just kept digging until 
morning, when he collapsed from exhaustion.
     After a little bit of rest Reman looked up at his pile of latinum, which 
was easily seven feet high.  Reman was smiling to himself when he suddenly 
realized he had no way of transporting his precious latinum off of the planet 
and back to his home.
     This latinum is as useless as the Federation if I can't take it off this 
planet.  What will I do, Reman thought.  He then folded his arms and began 
thinking about what he could do.  The people he got the mine from certainly 
don't need any of his latinum for trade.
     As Reman continued to ponder his situation he heard a voice behind him,
"Well Reman it seems we finally found you."
     Reman spun around to see Syxx and Enoz, two Starfleet officers he had seen
on the ship from time to time.
     "What are you doing here Reman and what is this cave you are at?", asked 
Syxx.
     "Well you see I crashed on this planet and lost my shuttle to the natives.
It was all I could do to survive.  I just happened to find this mine which I 
rightfully claim as mine under Ferengi business law," Reman replied.
     "Reman, first of all you are under the jurisdiction of the Federation and
must follow our protocols.  This mine isn't yours.  Second, we don't want to 
hear your lies," Enoz said.
     "What Lies?  I told you exactly what happened!"
     "Sure, Reman.  Look we don't have time to argue," said Syxx as he held up
his phaser, "You are coming with us."
