  In the four days since Loron put the information out on the network, 
the bidding had been fast and furious.  Yesterday, he notified the 
bidders for the final round, along with sending them another snippet of 
the recording.  A juicy one that he cut off just as the Legate was 
asking a question about ships.  His lobes tingled with anticipation at 
the profit this would generate.

Nixac was a certified genius at the mechanics of spying.  Less so on the 
profit making side, but that seemed to be a grand tradition in the great 
Ferengi spy network.  He had a soft spot, well, a less hard spot, for 
Nixac and would have to remember to pay him this month.

While Loron supervised the cleaning of the bar, Nixac retreated to his 
workroom.

After unlocking and decrypting his private communication portal, he 
looked at the offers he had generated.  Anything valuable enough to be 
sold once, should be sold twice, at least.  In this case, Nixac has two 
buyers who were interested in the information.  Checking to see that 
funds had cleared, he typed in some commands that swept the money from 
his account, and distributed into three shell accounts.  One of which 
supplied alcohol to The Stardust.  He also made sure that his contacts 
were properly bribed before releasing access to the video.

He knew that neither of these buyers were involved in Loron's business. 
Which was good for his business.  While his cousin didn't think Nixac 
could make a profit, the irony was that he had accumulated more than 
Loron, while using Loron as cover for his activities.

He chuckled as he sipped is Slug-O-Cola while running some tests on new 
equipment that he hoped would pick up more conversations in the public 
space.  Who knew what information was out there for the taking.  He's 
give Loron the credit, of course, as he'd have the credits.
