As someone finally watching DS9 for the first time, how does it work when Quark thumb-scans/charges Odo for 8 slips of latinum (in exchange for the baby changeling) in 'The Begotten' episode?
A few questions arise: Who does Odo work for? Who pays him? Does he use money (he doesn't seem to in any other episode)? How does Quark get the latinum?
- smorrow 12y agoI don't know, except that he's wearing a Bajoran uniform. I don't know if you noticed, but it's the same as the one Major Kira wears except in colour, like different-coloured Starfleet uniforms. Rom wears a Bajoran uniform too when at work.
- bane 12y agoOdo works for the Bajorans, who are not Federation members (for most of the series at least), though they are under the military protection of the Federation.
- pavel_lishin 12y agoOdo is not a member of Starfleet, he's (now) employed by the Bajoran government - Deep Space Nine is (now) a Bajoran installation, with the Federation administrating it until the Bajoran government basically gets its shit together after the occupation.
- drdeadringer 12y ago> how does it work when Quark thumb-scans/charges Odo I find it funny that a scheming Quark would bother thumb-printing a shape-shifter. It's only Odo's honor that prevents him from saying, "Oh, no, that's not my fingerprint. Let me show you my current set..."
- personlurking 12y agoAlso a bit funny is the Founders all look like Odo, or rather his "father", the scientist who experimented on him when he was "young".
