Quark is excited to receive a shuttle his cousin Gaila owed him for ten years, and decides to use it to fly Nog to Starfleet Academy on Earth — while doing a little smuggling on the side. But, just as the shuttle enters Earth's system, Rom is unable to take the shuttle out of warp, and realizes that the spiteful Gaila designed the ship to malfunction. Luckily, Rom figures out how to stop the ship and make an emergency landing. However, when the three travellers wake up after the crash, they find themselves in an examining room — in July 1947 at Roswell, New Mexico.
