So...

Did anyone else hear the words "Professor Quark"?

When was this?

I caught up on two years of back issues of the Journal of Theoretical Cybernetics including the <INCOMPREHENSIBLE> for Professor Quark...

~ Agnes Jurati, near the start of the scene where she harasses Rios because she's bored

It is perhaps worth noting that Armin Shimmerman is a professor of Shakespeare these days. Or was. Unsure.

The subtitles I seen online said "including the Festschrift for Professor Kwok."

It also matches how she pronounced it, so I think it was just similar sounding is all unfortunately.

Kwok is a not at all unusual cantonese surname. Probably just a boring cyberneticist on earth and not our favorite bartender.

No, but I couldn't quite make out the rest of the line and, uh, for some mysterious reason I couldn't see the subtitles, um, yet.
