In 2377, the crew of a Ferengi Marauder attempted to use a geodesic fold to acquire valuable Borg nanoprobes from Seven of Nine, a crewmember on the USS Voyager, by sending Voyager falsified information indicating that the crew could survive the trip. To do so, they intercepted a hologram of Reginald Barclay, which Barclay originally intended to assist the Voyager crew, and reprogrammed it to manipulate the crew into generating a fold with which to return to the Alpha Quadrant. The Ferengi would then obtain the nanoprobes, which they intended to sell for six bars of latinum per unit.
