You don't spend as much time in the captain's chair as Reginald Bain has without making a few enemies. Needless to say, their feelings toward him aren't exactly warm and fuzzy.
Summary
After losing two ships to the USS Anomaly, Thot-Phul is wallowing in a bar in the hinterlands of space rather than facing the humiliation of returning to Breen. Much to his surprise, he is beamed out of the bar and into a room where five other people sit around a table. They introduce themselves has the members of FOBBER, Foes Of Bain Bearing Eternal Rage, and, like Phul, they have had run-ins with and vowed revenge against Reginald Bain. Each of them tell Phul their story.
Gridloo & Pridloo
Many years earlier, Gridloo and Pridloo are Pakled smugglers running a ship that they call Ship. While transporting an illegal drug to Cardassian space, a series of unfortunate events leaves Ship close to a core breach. They are happened upon by the USS Abu Simbel, which offers to assist. The Abu Simbel's captain, Wer Cillan, is suspicious and sends her Tactical Officer, Lieutenant Commander Reginald Bain, over to have a look around. He happens upon the barrels of the drug, which looks like red dust. Gridloo and Pridloo tell Bain that it's dirt that they use for growing plants. Bain moves on, then excuses himself to beam back to the Abu Simbel. With the repairs complete, Gridloo and Pridloo are ready to continue on their way, but Bain lets them know that he beamed their unacceptable soil out into space and replaced it with some good quality soil from his personal supply. As a result of losing the drugs, Gridloo and Pridloo had to sell Ship and become lung fry cooks at McBaughb's until they could save up for New Ship.
Damm
Several years earlier, Damm, a psychotically murderous Ferengi, came up with a plan that would allow her to trap and kill an entire room full of people: a timeshare presentation!
