As Thick as Thieves

The Dutchman and her crew head to DS9 in search of work and find an opportunity to run supplies to a newly formed Federation colony in the Gamma quadrant, close to Dominion territory, settled under a joint cultural exchange agreement between the 2 organizations. The ship is loaded with standard equipment and supplies, as well as possible contraband individual crew members may be looking to sell to the colonists for an extra bar or two of latinum.

They are met with a warm reception by the colonists and even solicited to train some of them in their known skills in exchange for money. All seems well until they are approached by the very pro Federation colony leader and asked to smuggle a Vorta defector back to the Federation to provide them with valuable information on the Dominion under requested asylum.

The crew must decide if they are going to do as asked and risk smuggling their passenger back through the wormhole for possible Federation favors in the future, or to seek the same from the Dominion by returning their defected Comrade to them.
