After reactivating and securing the Holographic systems aboard the Rosenante, [[Eian O'Neill]] prepared to isolate and neutralize the Program once it appeared on the Rosenante. | ||
To insure that it would appear, [[Sanok]] would activate the [[Data Cube]] that was recovered from [[Rank|Captain]] [[Joseph Taylor|Taylor's]] quarters where it had been disguised as a [[latinum]] sheathed moving sculpture. Group gambled that the reactivation of the data cube would alert either the program or it's [[Ferengi]] controller and that the end result would be that the program would attempt to recover the cube at all costs. With Sanok playing bait, [[Ben Soma]] and [[Kimiko Ichijo]] stood by to render assistance, while [[Eian O'Neill]] would isolate the program. | To insure that it would appear, [[Sanok]] would activate the [[Data Cube]] that was recovered from [[Rank|Captain]] [[Joseph Taylor|Taylor's]] quarters where it had been disguised as a [[latinum]] sheathed moving sculpture.

Soma, Sanok and O'Neill along with a great many members of base security tracked [[Quol Nor]] down to his place of business where he was arrested by the Security team. The Ferengi threatened that Ferengi lawyers were far superior to anything that the federation possessed and that the Assassin Hologram was sentient, a claim that would later be overturned by a federation panel of experts. The program while highly sophisticated lacked the ability to adapt beyond certain pre-programmed parameters. | Soma, Sanok and O'Neill along with a great many members of base security tracked [[Quol Nor]] down to his place of business where he was arrested by the Security team.
