The cowboy seemed to pause in its movements, the blob in turn puppeting it also seemed to consider the words given. The ship shuddered again from impacts in combat outside, but then the blob created image of the cowboy dissolved back into its body, then the tendrils reformed, and this time took the shape of what seemed a Ferengi male. Its clothes though were more consistent with those worn by males back in early Ferengi society in the late 22nd century. Like the cowboy before it the Ferengi seemed to reenact some scene of seeing something approaching it, but the Ferengi seemed to panic before stumbling and falling to the ground. A moment later its last pose with cowering with its hands raised as if to ward off something coming at it.

Then the image of the Ferengi male reformed and stood like the cowboy again, “..You want to barter and trade? Well what goods or services are you providing and expect in return?” he said.

Gavin stared blankly at the blob for a moment then approached the forcefield. “We only want to be able to leave with the Synthesis.” Doctor Stacey stated, “Once we’re out of your way, we can ensure no other ship interferes with you again.” Gavin knew they wouldn’t be able to return the Synth to their own time since that would change the timeline.

The Ferengi nodded then shook its head, “..No no that will not do! No profit, no gains! If you want to barter..” it said gesturing to the others who had spoken, “..then you need to pay for the goods and services!” it said.

Mar had been watching the show with great intent. As they all paused in the conversational exchange, she squatted down and got to the character’s level. “We are a presence inside you that hurts. For that, we are truly sorry. If you can help us get out of here, you wouldn’t be hurting anymore. You’d feel better. And we can set a barrier so that no one else hurts you by accident.” She was trying to wrack her brain around some movie, book or Holo program that could be used for reference of what they hoped to achieve. But nothing was coming to mind.

The Ferengi regarded Mar, “..Hurt? No pain? No hurting? Only headache in communication from you not bartering a deal! You want something we got? Then you give something for it!” It said the Ferengi pupated by the blob gain a wide sharp toothy grin.

“It looks like they’ve been trying to communicate with us all along.” Doctor Stacey stated quietly, slightly unsettled that it was able to portray a Ferengi so accurately. Frankly, Gavin wasn’t sure they wanted anything from the blob besides leaving. He thought that would at least be a barter if they promised to leave the blob alone.

“What would you give us for your release?” The doctor asked, hoping to turn the tables.
