Back in Oxmyx's warehouse the guards had the four Starfleet members under guard but until Oxmyx decided to have them hit. They were staring at the gangsters playing poker.

"One book on the gangs of Chicago did all this", McCoy whispered to the group. "It's amazing."

"They evidently seized upon that one book as the blueprint for an entire society", Spock replays.

"It's the Bible."

"Captain, in that case because of this I think we need to create an upper hand here on fixing this", T'Lora said.

"I agree, T'Lora", Kirk smiled at her. "This will take a lot of maneuvering. In old Chicago, conventional government almost broke down. The gangs nearly took over."

"Yeah, well, Oxmyx is the worst gangster of all", McCoy chimed in.

"We may quarrel with Mr. Oxmyx's methods, but his goal is essentially the correct one", Spock said. "This society must become united or it will degenerate into total anarchy."

"If this society broke down as the result of the Horizon's influence, then the Federation's responsible, and we've got to do something to straighten this mess out", Kirk said coming up with an idea. "Spock, if you could get to the sociological computer, do you think you could find a solution?"

"Unfortunately, I do not have access to my computers, nor are these gentlemen likely to permit it."

"Well, I've got an idea about that. T'Lora I want you to get close to one of these men. Once we are free, I want you to knock out a woman and get into her clothing. Wait for me in front of Oxmyx's office. In the meantime let me free us."

"Yes sir", T'Lora smiled and approached one of the men that was standing as a guard. "You know, it's a real shame…"

The guard looked at her confused, watching as she reached her hand out, touching the barrel of his gun. She fluttered her eyes as she ran her fingers up and down his gun.

"Do you really want to shoot me?" she asked innocently.

Meanwhile, Kirk approached the card players. He smiled, knowing a way to get himself and the others out of the warehouse scot free.

"Gentlemen, gentlemen", he said. This, card game is a kid's game."

"You think so, huh?" Kalo asked.

"Oh, yes, yes. I wouldn't waste my time."

"Who's asking you?" he asked.

"On Beta Antares Four, they play a real game. It's a man's game, but of course it's probably a little beyond you. It requires intelligence."

"Listen, Kirk, I can play anything you can figure out. Take the cards, big man. Show us how it's played."

"I'm familiar with the culture on Beta Antares", Spock mentioned, not understanding what Kirk was talking about. "There aren't games."

"Spock , Spock Spock!" Kirk said shutting him up.

T'Lora then looked at Spock telling him to shush. She just watched and winked. Spock then nodded.

"Fizzbin?" Kalo asked watching Kirk.

"Fizzbin. It's not too difficult."

Kirk did a random dealing move.

"Each player gets six cards, except for the player on the dealer's right, who gets seven."

"On the right…"

Everyone watched confused as they tried to keep up with Kirk's directions.

"Yes", he explained. "The second card is turned up, except on Tuesdays."

"On Tuesday…"

Kirk dealt another card, giving a surprised look.

"Oh, look what you got, two jacks", he smiled. "You got a half fizzbin already."

"I need another jack", Kalo assumed.

"No, no. If you got another jack, why, you'd have a sralk."

"A sralk?"

"Yes. You'd be disqualified. You need a king and a deuce, except at night of course, when you'd need a queen and a four."

"My head hurts", T'Lora mumbled giving up on Kirk's fake rules.

"Oh, look at that", Kirk said dealing another card, getting excited. "You've got another jack. How lucky you are! How wonderful for you. If you didn't get another jack, if you'd gotten a king, why then you'd get another card, except when it's dark, you'd give it back."

"If it were dark on Tuesday?" Kalo asked confused.

"Yes, but what you're after is a royal fizzbin, but the odds in getting a royal fizzbin are astron. Spock, what are the odds in getting a royal fizzbin?"

"I have never computed them, Captain", Spock said understanding Kirk's distracting, but was completely lost on the illogical rules of this game.

"Well, they're astronomical, believe me", Kirk said. "Now, for the last card. We'll call it a kronk. You got that?"

"What?" Kalo asked losing his trail of thought.

Kirk dropped the card on the floor, providing another distraction.

"I'll get it", Kalo said.

Spock reached out and performed a mind pinch on him as T'Lora knocked out one guy.

"I DIDN'T FIND YOU ATTRACTIVE ANYWAY!"
