Captain's Log, Stardate 1008.01

August 01 2010
Today the USS Stonewall had her maiden voyage and it certainly wasn't without incident or intrigue.

Upon disembarking from spacedock, the Stonewall set a course to the Eridan Belt where it was going to undertake deep space exploration. As we approached, we entered an anomaly which seemed to affect the crew in a psychological way, but more concerning was the behaviour of Kaden, the host of Ten Forward. Doctor Solari, Counselor Blakely and Science Officer Syvok worked tirelessly to determine what the cause was.

It was revealed soon enough that the anomaly and the odd behaviour of some crewmembers was caused by Q...the omnipotent being! Kaden is an El Aurian, a race who has a long and bloody history with Q and the Borg, so it was logical that Kaden was more able to detect the beings presence.

After conversation with Q, who implied he was only here for our maiden voyage launched us violently across time and space. Engineer Wolf was able to stabilize the ships systems and initiated quick repairs. Thanks to the expert services of Doctor Solari and Counselor Blakely, the crew were treated and were able to return safely to their duties.

While our sensors had no point of reference to identify where we were, we soon knew that we had travelled back in time to a point when the Borg were primitive.

Unfortunately, I made the illogical mistake of revealing that we were a starship from Earth and the Borg quickly added us to their database as Species 5618. Could I have been the one responsible for making the Borg aware of the Federation and of Earth?

Q soon revealed that this was a test...for me and for my crew. Presenting me with the opportunity to destroy a primitive Borg science vessel would have been easy for our state of the art Galaxy class starship and Q pointed out that it would have caused a crippling blow to the Borg and saved millions of lives, but at what cost and was the decision mine to make? After a period of thought and consultation with Kaden, First Officer Tabashi and others, I made the decision to flee the area and spare the Borg ship. The decision was not mine to make and would have greatly affected the timeline.

Before I was able to issue a retreat order, Borg drones beamed aboard after the Borg ship grappled on to us with hooks...they had not yet gained tractor beam technology.

We were able to break ourselves free, thanks to Helmsman Des, and go to warp, but Borg drones had infiltrated Sickbay. PjhN took a tactical team and Kuyon to neutralize the drones. As they engaged in battle, Doctor Solari revealed that she could release a pathogen that would only affect the Borg and would knock them out. After successfully executing the pathogen plan, the borg were beamed into space to be collected by their ship. We could not harm even one Borg life.

After reappearing, Q passed judgement on us and said that we were capable enough for deep space exploration.

I cannot imagine what wonders and dangers me, my valiant crew and the USS Stonewall face in our future journies.

I would like to extend Starfleet commendations to the following officers on this mission:

Tabashi..........First Officer
Dr. Solari.......Medical Officer
Marcus Blakely...Ship's Counselor
Kaden............Ten Forward Host
Syvok............Science Officer
PjhN.............Security Officer
Kuyon............Security Officer
Wolf.............Engineer
DeRhamme.........Engineer
Des..............Helm

End Captain's Log.

Captain T'Laris,
Commanding Officer
USS STONEWALL

Zepari: I'm a good bartender, you will neeed me
JamesTWolf: Hey everyone
DeRhamme entered the room.
bradley1701: invite sent, zep
nthoctave: All sensors are fully operational, the science department is ready for departure.
DeRhamme: Jolan'tru
PjhN: all weapons available and standing by Captain
chemkarate: Reports are coming in from departments, Captain. So far no problems.
bradley1701: Bartender, what are you doing on the bridge? Please report to Ten Forward!
bradley1701: Thank you, Number One
Zepari: My name is Kaden Captain, with respect
bradley1701: My apologies, Kaden.
bradley1701: Helm, please take us out, one quarter impulse.
bradley1701: Dhiemm, would you be willing to manage engineering for me?
nthoctave: May I remind the Captain that Thruster use only is allowed in Spacedock?
bradley1701: We seemt o be without a Chief Engineer right now
SummerHeat: Aye sir. Docking clamps disengaged and increasing speed to one-quarter impulse...
bradley1701: *raises eyebrow at Syvok* indeed, Helm, thrusters.
bradley1701: Take us out...
SummerHeat: ...I..I was sir...
chemkarate: *raises an eyebrow, but doesn't say anything as he monitors the status updates coming in from the ship*
bradley1701: Set course for the Eridan Belt, Helm, warp 5....
SummerHeat: course laid in.
bradley1701: Engage!
SummerHeat: *taps the "engage warp engines" button*
bradley1701: Number One, you have the bridge, I'll be down in Sick Bay if you need me.
bradley1701: Welcome aboard, Mr. Blakely!
chemkarate: Aye, Captain.
chemkarate: Bridge to Dhiemm, how is the Stonewall doing now that we're at warp?
DeRhamme: She is doing Fine
DeRhamme: Sir
MacIntosh entered the room.
chemkarate: *grins at the late sir* Good to hear. Thank you.
MacIntosh: *gasp* Admiral Solari, your almost out of uniform *smiles*
DeRhamme: Sir my I take my leave from the Birdge
chemkarate: Granted. Are you heaed for Main Engineering?
DeRhamme: no Sir
PjhN: Sir, I'm receiving complaints from security details that senior officers seem to be perpetually *running* around the ship. It makes them look like they're extremely guilty of something.
bradley1701: Captain to Bridge, report?
chemkarate: *looks at Dhiemm* Then please find someone to cover your post before you elave.
chemkarate: *looks at PjhN* Hold a moment. *replies to the captain* Captain, everything is going fine up here.
chemkarate: Though apparently we have a number of officers randomly wandering the ship. I'll be asking security to check on them.
bradley1701: If you need me, I will be in engineering a moment before returning to the bridge.
bradley1701: Thank you, Number One!
chemkarate: Acknolwedged, Captain.
chemkarate: *looks at Solari* Give me a moment, then you may proceed.
nthoctave: Sir, I am getting reports of other vessels in the area experiencing some sort of temporal anomaly. The crews repeatedly complain of a phenomenon known as "Lag"
chemkarate: PhjN, please have security make sure none of these 'wandering' officers are not disrupting the crew.
nthoctave: I do not believe we are in danger at this time, though I will continue to monitor.
PjhN: aye aye sir
chemkarate: Solari, you may proceed with physicals of the senior staff, one at a time.
SummerHeat: *smirks at something*
SummerHeat: *looks uncomfortable*
chemkarate: Syvok, please do so. Starfleet Command has issued a warning, but its believed it will dissipate with time.
PjhN: one detail has reported that the Captain ran into them on her way to engineering, but otherwise all appears well
MacIntosh: Captain, as ships counselor I must warn you, this anomoly referred to as "lag" is having adverse affects on the mental stability of the crew!
bradley1701: Report
PjhN: Sir, with respect, I'm used to male officers giving me physicals
PjhN: and injections
Zepari: Ten Forward to Security, could you please escort Ensign Halleman back to her quarters, she has been overdoing it again.
nthoctave: *raises eyebrow*
PjhN: perhaps I ought to handle that personally sir?
chemkarate: Noted, PjhN, however, she is just scanning you with a tricorder.
SummerHeat: *looks shocked, but holds it together*
bradley1701: Mr. PjhN, please see to Mr. Kaden's request.
PjhN: aye sir
chemkarate: *looks at Des* Ensign, is there something wrong? You seem... uneasy.
bradley1701: Report on the lag anomoly
SummerHeat: Sir, I'm detecting there is anomolous turbulence in our current path...
bradley1701: All hands, brace for multiple impacts...turbulence.
chemkarate: *raises an eyebrow* How disruptive will it be to our flight path?
PjhN: PjhN to the Bridge: Captain I would like to report a strange spacial anomaly I encountered while using the turbolift. for a second, I swear the walls disappeared and I was just looking out into space
bradley1701: *the ship rocks about viloently*
nthoctave: rerouting auxillary power to secondary systems to compensate
chemkarate: *Rocks in his chair*
Zepari: Ten Forward to Bridge, I need to report that a number of the crew seem to be aimlessly wandering around, as if in a trance, please advise.
PjhN: ow
chemkarate: Well... that answers that question.
MacIntosh: Admiral Solari, Maam, maybe we should make an appointment at my office later, you seem to have a fascination with that tricorder of yours! Maybe you are being affected by this lag anomoly!
bradley1701: Thank you, doctor!
PjhN: greetings barman
SummerHeat: *slams into the conn at his sternum* Ow...
chemkarate: Why they don't install seatbelts, I will never know...
chemkarate: Helm, can you take us around the anomaly?
bradley1701: Counselor Blakely, Dr. Solari and Syvok, could you please try and find out what is affecting the crew? Perhaps the equipment in Sickbay or the Engineering lab may help
SummerHeat: Because the buckles could be deadly should we get thrown into them...
JamesTWolf: Captain, I have assumed engineering duty Sir!
nthoctave: I shall report to the engineering lab, and attempt to determine the cause
bradley1701: Engineering, report, can we increase power to the shields and inertial dampners?
nthoctave: Permission to leave the Bridge, sir?
bradley1701: Thank you, Syvok. Permission granted.
chemkarate: Granted, Syvok.
JamesTWolf: Increasing power to shields SIr!
MacIntosh: Captain, perhaps it is Q, up to his old tricks, I do sense something but I cant quite place it.. another presence perhaps!
chemkarate: Excellent, Wolf.
chemkarate: Helm, can you take us out of the anomaly?
bradley1701: Des, can our sensors detect the turbulence before it's too late? Is it possible to evade them?
chemkarate: I'd rather just avoid this if possible.
bradley1701: Agreed.
SummerHeat: Captain, it appears that turbulence I mentioned....it'll get worse. I'm trying to navigate a path of least resistance, but it is changing constantly.
bradley1701: Alright
bradley1701: All hands, go to red alert until we're able to clear the anomoly
SummerHeat: *seems to be working fervently at the helm*
chemkarate: *frowns* Bridge to Syvok, I ned you back up here to investigate this turbulence anomaly. Apparently getting out of it isn't that easy.
PjhN: Security to the bridge. Despite explicit instructions, senior officers are continuing to run around the corridors!
nthoctave: Syvok to Engineering, please increase power to the Main Deflector Array by 15%.
chemkarate: Helm, try to compensate as best as you can, bring us to full stop if necessary.
chemkarate: Bridge to Medical, prepare for casualities. The ride is going to be bumpy.
JamesTWolf: Power to deflector increased 15%
bradley1701: Security, please escort any roaming officers to Sickbay to be scanned by Dr. Solari
nthoctave: Captain, the anomaly appears to be connected to the temporal anomalies experienced by other vessels in the area
bradley1701: Are there currently any other vessels in the area?
chemkarate: ((Holy crap, had no idea the cpatain was back! Sorry Bradley!))
PjhN: aye sir
bradley1701: Yes, Number One, I'll be in my ready room
PjhN: mister Dhiemm's running agan :(
SummerHeat: If I may advise, routing auxiiliary power to the structural integrity field and the inertial dampeners should minimize the shocks...works on a flyer at least..
Solari: Sickbay to Bridge, I've just found a problem with Kaden, I've isolated him for the moment in sickbay
chemkarate: Noted, Syvok. Thank you.
nthoctave: Syvok to Bridge, I have completed my analysis, and will be returning to the bridge shortly.
bradley1701: Counselor, what makes you think Q is involved?
chemkarate: Ensign Des, send a hail to all ships to avoid this area of space.
Solari: Solari to Captain
PjhN: Mister Dhiemm, I will be putting a repremand in your file
PjhN: I am on my way back to the bridge Captain
bradley1701: Dr. Solari, when you have a moment, please report to my ready room.
Solari: Aye Captain
PjhN: Dr Solari, even you are running about. why does everyone have such heightened adrenalin levels?
chemkarate: Syvok, please continue monitoring the anoma--
chemkarate: *Suddenly looks around as if someone is talking to him*
nthoctave: Sir?
chemkarate: PjhN! Send a security detail to the bridge, now!
PjhN: I'm here sir! What's wrong?
chemkarate: Bridge to Captain T'Laris, I think I know what has been affeecting hte crew! It's--
PjhN: [To comm: Security to the bridge]
chemkarate: (Mysterious Man suddenly appears* Q! In the flesh!
chemkarate: (Q) So, how are you all doing today?
PjhN: Oh no! I've read about him in history books
chemkarate: (Q) Enjoying my little merry go round?
chemkarate: *Q is standing in the middle of the bridge, grinning like an idiot at the crew*
MacIntosh: Captain please repor tto the bridge.
SummerHeat: *puts ship in all-stop, the turbulence subsides only somewhat*
nthoctave: Are we to believe that you are the cause of the anomalies?
bradley1701: Q!! What are you doing on my ship?!
chemkarate: (Q) To see you off on your maiden voyage, of course!
MacIntosh: Captain he is lieing
Zepari: Kaden to Bridge, is everything ok?
PjhN: Ten forward, there is a security breach on the bridge. Please stand by.
chemkarate: (Q) *looks at Marcus* Oh, and how would you know that?
bradley1701: Mr. Kaden, a friend of yours is here...Q!
SummerHeat: *don't state the obvious don't state the obvious....*
DeRhamme: Jolan'tru Kaden I hope you are getting better
chemkarate: (Q) Like your tiny, insignificant mind could comprehend mine.
chemkarate: (Q) If you could even call what I have a mind... such a small term for such a wonderful thing.
MacIntosh: even you cant hide your thoughts Q, besides your so predictable!
Zepari: I thought so Captain, on my way
bradley1701: Q, why would you possibley want to see our ship on its maiden voyage? This is ridiculous!
chemkarate: (Q) *waves Marcus away, literally. Marcus is vanihsed off the Bridge and appears down in Ten Forward*
PjhN: Q! Leave my clothes alone!
chemkarate: (Q) *looks at T'Laris* Why is that ridiculous? You'll remember my father did the same for Picard's ship.
SummerHeat: *sighs* to state the obvious...he's either plotting something, or he knows something is about to significantly affect us...either way, HE'll think it's funny.
chemkarate: (Q) *walks up to T'Laris and shamlessly looks her up and down*
bradley1701: We are on a peaceful mission of exploration, are you the cause of the anomoly we have encountered?
Zepari: Captain, i urge you not to trust this... thing
PjhN: permission to try shooting Q with phasers sir?
chemkarate: (Q) Not as warm as Aunt Kathy... but certainly capable.
bradley1701: *T'Laris raises one of her Vulcan eyebrows*
chemkarate: (Q) Oh, please. Exploration. It's liek watching aunts discover another anthill
DeRhamme: I agree with Kaden
chemkarate: (Q) You want exploration?
SummerHeat: Oh no...
MacIntosh: *whispers to T'Laris" I am not sure what he is planning but I sense great enjoyment and pleasure amongst his deception.
chemkarate: (Q) *flashes a grin* I'll give you exploration!
SummerHeat: Don't you dare..
bradley1701: You have gone too far, Q. If you want to enjoy the maiden voyage, so be it. Do so in Ten Forward, but do not affect space and time and my crew for your enjoyment!
chemkarate: (Q) Too late! *snaps his fingers, and the ship suddenly rocks forward violently*
Zepari: This being is no-one's friend, and is not welcome in my Ten Forward Sir
Geoberg entered the room.
SummerHeat: *flies back towards the aft consoles* GAHHHH!!!
bradley1701: Sorry, Kaden, I wasn't being literal, I don't want him on the ship at all!
bradley1701: All hands, hold on!!!!
chemkarate: *Tabashi pitches forward and lands on his face*
A1088 entered the room.
PjhN: engineering to the bridge!
chemkarate: (Q) *somehow doesn't even move and just kinda moves with the ship* It's very zen, you know, moving through space and time in the blink of an eye
PjhN: we have a damaged console!
Mazort entered the room.
bradley1701: Engineering, damage control team to the bridge!
chemkarate: *The ship suddenly stops*
chaoshatchet entered the room.
Zepari: Captain!!
bradley1701: I'm alright
bradley1701: The sudden learch through me out of the command chair
bradley1701: No need for alarm, but thank you
chemkarate: *looks at Q* Where the hell did you send us!?
JamesTWolf: Engineering to Bridge What is going on up there? We dropped out of warp to full stop!
bradley1701: Helm, Science, where are we?
SummerHeat: *lurches forward from the sudden stop* Oww...
nthoctave: Captain, sensors are still off line
SummerHeat: *limps as he walks*
chemkarate: (Q) *shrugs* How should I know? God may not play with dice, but I do
chemkarate: (Q) Big, infinite-sided ones
MacIntosh: Captain I sense overwelming fear among the crew!
bradley1701: Q is here, we've been launched across space. The helm station is damaged, please send someone to repair it.
chemkarate: (Q) Have fun! *Vanishes*
Zepari: Q, Stop this!
bradley1701: Q, enough is enough!
bradley1701: He's gone!
JamesTWolf: Repair crews on their way Sir!
Zepari: Captain, he has not left us
bradley1701: All crew, take your stations, damage report!
Zepari: He is watching, for his own amusement
nthoctave: long range sensors are still offline
chemkarate: *Frowns, then looks at Solari* Medical. How is the crew after that ridE?
SummerHeat: Captain...I have NO idea where we are... the ships navigational sensors... *raises an eyebrow* have no valid reference point?
PjhN: No weapons on the bridge!
PjhN: except mine
SummerHeat: It's just a sprain...
bradley1701: Thank you doctor, please attend to all wounded
Zepari: Captain, may i have a word with you in private?
SummerHeat: *heavy sigh* fine...do I need to report to medical?
bradley1701: Could we launch a probe?
PjhN: frankly captain, I think Admiral janeway's acting highly erratically
chemkarate: Engineering, report on the ship's condition.
bradley1701: Number One, you have the bridge
chemkarate: Aye, Captain.
bradley1701: Kaden, I'll see you in my ready room
SummerHeat: Thank you, Doc..
nthoctave: Launching a class IV probe
chemkarate: PhjN, please alert all security details to keep a lookout for Q's return
JamesTWolf: ENgineering: All operational here Sir!
PjhN: aye sir
chemkarate: Syvok, good work on the probe. Keep me updated.
PjhN: all security details are on high alert
chaoshatchet: security no report on Q's return yet
chemkarate: Helm, run our cooridinates through astrometrics and try to see if we've moved in time
SummerHeat: Aye Sir...
nthoctave: recieving telemetry... fascinating... there appears to be an object, possibly a ship aproximately 400,000 km to starboard
nthoctave: I have lost contact with the probe, sir
chemkarate: Was it destroyed?
PjhN: recommend we raise shields captain
SummerHeat: Sir, Astrometrics indicates the star pathing has changed...significantly...
nthoctave: Unknown, at this time
PjhN: Q rarely teleports anyone anywhere friendly
chemkarate: *frowns*
chemkarate: Agreed, PjhN. Go to Yellow Alert.
chemkarate: Des, hail the ship.
PjhN: aye sir, yellow alert
chemkarate: Or... whatever it is.
SummerHeat: Hailing frequencies open Sir.
nthoctave: Captain, might I suggest not taking any action that might be considered hostile?
chemkarate: *frowns more deeply* If that intergalactic jackass has sent us int he path of the UberBorg, I'm going to wring his neck.
chemkarate: Agreed, Syvok, which is why weapons are not powering up.
nthoctave: *raises eyebrow*
chemkarate: *looks at Kaden* Mr. Kaden, is there any insight you can give on Q's actions? I know he has... history... with the El-Aurians
chemkarate: *nods, even though Kaden didn't say anything*
Zepari: I have told the captain all I can, it is up to him what he shares with the crew
SummerHeat: Mr. Tabashi...Astrometrics has reported back on that navigational bug...it's not.
chemkarate: It's not what?
SummerHeat: it's not an error. the star charts are grossly inaccurate because they haven't reached the last known coordinates...in this time-stamp.
bradley1701: Report!
SummerHeat: Captain!
chemkarate: *looks at T'Laris* We're still trying to figure out our timespace coordinates.
chemkarate: Des, what do you mean?
SummerHeat: It appears from the astrometrics and navigational debug that we have been catapulted five hundred earth years into the past...and ...
SummerHeat: into the delta quadrant.
chemkarate: *eyes widen*
bradley1701: My God!
PjhN: Damn Q
nthoctave: Confirmed, Captain. Long range sensors are now back online
bradley1701: It seems impossible...but...it's Q...
DeRhamme: oh
SummerHeat: I'd say there is a good possibility that ship or object out there is a primitive borg..
chemkarate: *looks at Syvok* That ship! Can you get any data on it? Does it match anything from Voyager's records?
nthoctave: Stand by...
nthoctave: There are certain similarities in the energy signature that might suggest a proto-borg origin.
nthoctave: However, I am not detecting the usual sub-space network that connects a borg vessel to its collective
bradley1701: PjhN, please have your department prepare personal and ship weapons for battle with the Borg.
PjhN: aye Captain
PjhN: [on Comm: all security teams; tactical alert. report to armory]
JamesTWolf: ENgineering to Bridge: Request a tactical team be sent here to secure engineering
chemkarate: Captain... I'd advise that we fleet.
SummerHeat: Sir! permission to join the away team!
chemkarate: Er, flee.
bradley1701: Agreed, PjhN, post a security detail in engineering.
PjhN: [on Comm: security protocol 49-Alpha. this is not a drill. full tactical alert.]
chemkarate: We have a responsibility not to alter history, even if it's the Borg.
bradley1701: Helm, take us away from the Borg ship, warp 1....
PjhN: sir
nthoctave: Captain, WE are being hailed!
bradley1701: On screen!
nthoctave: *We are the Borg. What is your designation?*
PjhN: when I announce a full tactical alert to security, they will send a detail to Engineering
chemkarate: Oh hell.
PjhN: torpedos ready captain
bradley1701: This is Captain T'Laris of the USS Stonewall.
SummerHeat: *starts to set a heading but belays for the conversation.
bradley1701: Thank you, PjhN
SummerHeat: "designation..." hmm... *pulls up library reference on the side console*
chemkarate: (Q) *Appears next to T'Laris* You may want to be careful here.
nthoctave: *Captain T'Laris of the U.S.S. Stonewall. Your species and ship are unfamiliar to us.*
chemkarate: (Q) The Borg can be quite testy.
nthoctave: *What is your origin?*
PjhN: *if we had a brig, I'd so be trying to throw Q in it right now*
PjhN: Captain, I know this isn't the time, but *please* can we install a brig?
bradley1701: "I will not tell you our origin."
bradley1701: Make it so, PjhN!
Zepari entered the room.
nthoctave: *What is your origin?*
bradley1701: Helm, have you laid in a course away from the Borg ship?
chemkarate: (Q) *rolls his eyes* Oh please, like that matchbox could hold me.
SummerHeat: Captain, if I may...we need to not run from them yet..
nthoctave: *You are unfamiliar to us, what is your origin?*
PjhN: [To Comm: "Tactical Station to Engineering: dispatch emergency teams to construct a brig."]
bradley1701: Very well.
chemkarate: (Q) You're running!? Why? Isn't this what you wanted?
JamesTWolf: Aye Aye Sir!
chemkarate: (Q) *makes grand gestures as he walks around*
chemkarate: (Q) This is your chance, Captain! To see the early Borg, your greatest foes!
chemkarate: (Q) Maybe even... destroy them...
bradley1701: Science, please run as many scans as possible on the Borg ship. Maybe we will be able to gain valuable information on the Borg, something to help us better understand the Borg from our own time.
nthoctave: Aye Captain. Scanning vessel now.
chemkarate: (Q) ... Captain, what if I told you that ship... is very important to the history of the Borg.
nthoctave: *Why do you not respond?*
bradley1701: "Borg vessel, we are a Federation Starship on peaceful exploration"
chemkarate: (Q) *appears floating in front of the viewscreen, motioning to the onscreen Borg*
bradley1701: Number One, would it be possible to beam an early Borg drone onto our ship for research? Do we have the technology to contain it?
nthoctave: *federation? Please elaborate. What is your origin?*
SummerHeat: Mr. Tabashi...the borg designation for humans was 5618. perhaps that is the designation they require...
PjhN: tactical analysis captain: the vessel is powerful, but not compared to the Borg of our time. I have destroyed many tactical cubes in the Gamma Orionis sector, I'm sure we would win a battle
bradley1701: "We are from the planet Earth."
chemkarate: *Frowns* Captain, I must protest. By engaging the Borg, we are violating the Temporal Prime Directive.
Zepari: Ten Forward to Captain T'Laris, This is wrong, time is not supposed to unfold like this, do not let the Borg know of humans this early in history
chemkarate: Even beaming one on the ship for research is a violation.
PjhN: I would reocmmend against taking a borg on board captain.
bradley1701: Very true....
bradley1701: We will have to be satisfied with sensor scans
chemkarate: (Q) Oh, Commander Tabashi... such an upstanding officer. *sticks his tongue out*
nthoctave: *You will be given a new designation for our database. You will be known as Species 5618.*
chemkarate: *looks at the Borg* Oh great, now THERE'S a paradox.
SummerHeat: *eyes widen* Q!!
bradley1701: Is it possible that in history the Borg became aware of Earth because of me?
chemkarate: (Q) Could be.
nthoctave: *We wish to know more about your biological and technological distinctivness*
chemkarate: (Q) However, if you were to destory this ship, I can tell you it would siginficantly cripple the Borg's scientific progress
Zepari: Kaden to T'Laris, remember what i told you, you are being tested
chemkarate: (Q) For centuries.
nthoctave: *Stand by for a cultural exchange*
chemkarate: (Q) Wolf359 would never happen.
bradley1701: "We will not share such information"
chemkarate: (Q) The Balttle of Sector001 would never happen.
nthoctave: Captain, I'm detecting transporter signatures at various places on the ship!
SummerHeat: But then First contact would never happen.
bradley1701: Q, I will not alter the time line, even to save lives.
bradley1701: Take us back to our own time line, this instant!
SummerHeat: Nice try, Q, but some of us do have a better understanding for paradoxes than you like to think.
Solari: Sickbay to bridge! We have Borg Drones! Send a Secuirty team now!
chemkarate: (Q) Hmmm... in a bit. I want to see how you handle this.
chemkarate: (Q) *Vanishes again*
bradley1701: Intruder alert!
chaoshatchet: reporting to sick bay
Zepari: Security report to Ten Forward, Intruder alert
bradley1701: PjhN, lead a security team to security, we have Borg!
chemkarate: Bridge crew, prepare for engagemetn with the Borg. REady weapons!
nthoctave: Captain, several members of the crew are unnaccounted for. It is possible they have been taken by the borg.
PjhN: Captain, it is possible a multi-spacial quantum interfractal seven-dimensional-oscillating neotemporal dampening field could contain Q and his powers. I'd love to give it a try
bradley1701: All hands to battlestations!
PjhN: on my way captain
nthoctave: Sir, the Borg are locking onto us with... grappling hooks...
bradley1701: Engineering, report? How did the Borg get through our shields?
bradley1701: Evasive maneuvers....helm!
chemkarate: Grappling hooks? Wow, Q wasn't kidding.
JamesTWolf: I have no idea Sir! SHileds are at full strength
SummerHeat: Already on it!
SummerHeat: Wow they're slow...
nthoctave: Sir, I believe the physical connection made by the hooks has allowed them to gain access to our computer
chemkarate: We should just run, and eliminate the Borg already on the ship.
chemkarate: Syvok, encrypt all data!
nthoctave: May I remind you of the missing crew members?
bradley1701: Agreed, helm, get us out of here, maximum warp!
SummerHeat: Aye Sir.
nthoctave: The data was encrypted the second Q appeared, Captain
chemkarate: Excellent!
Solari: Sickbay to Captain, I can release a pathogen that will disable the borg on the ship
bradley1701: Make it so, Doctor!
SummerHeat: course set for heading 180 mark 17 at warp 9.6
bradley1701: Engage!
SummerHeat: *hits the button*
Solari: *Releases the pathogen
bradley1701: Once we're out of range, set a course for the nearest class M planet.
chemkarate: (Q) *Appears next to T'Laris* Wow, now THAT was anticliactic
bradley1701: PjhN, report!
bradley1701: Q!
chemkarate: ((Anticlimactic, I mean))
PjhN: I was unable to locate Borg in tenforward
chemkarate: (Q) Honestly, your species and its Prime Directive can be so boring
bradley1701: We've had enough...I will not destroy that ship!
chemkarate: (Q) Even if it means that litterally quadrillions of lives in this galaxy will be assimilated and destroyed
chemkarate: (Q) That millions of species will be lost forever?
chemkarate: (Q) Sucked into that Collective never to be heard from again?
bradley1701: It is not my choice to make.
chemkarate: (Q) *Studies T'Laris... and grins*
PjhN: I've decked the remaining borg who had come aboard
Solari: Solari To captain, the drones are disabled, I recomend we tag them for transport and beam them off the ship
chemkarate: (Q) Congratulations, Captain. Your species has been judged.
SummerHeat: *mutters something quite spiteful*
PjhN: I agree with the doctor, we hould beam them into space.
bradley1701: Thank you doctor, please have the transporter room beam them off the ship.
PjhN: now I've kicked them a bit
bradley1701: What is our judgment, Q?!
PjhN: thank you for knocking them out by the way doctor
PjhN: that made it easier
chemkarate: (Q) *A gavel appears in his hand and he slams it down on a nearby console, though the console is undamaged*
bradley1701: Always the thesbian, just like your father.
SummerHeat: HEY WATCH IT! you almost hit my finger, you jerk!
chemkarate: (Q) You are hereby allowed to continue exploring. You've finally gained some sense for dealing with time
PjhN: ship's phasers standing by to vaporise the borg once they're in space, if you'd like
chemkarate: (Q) *Snaps his fingers* You'll find your missing crew returned.
bradley1701: Thank you, Q....
Solari: Negative, I'd rather not kill them
bradley1701: PjhN, we'll leave them in space for their ship to collect
chemkarate: (Q) Though, I'd recommend changing your Helm officer.
PjhN: but I haven't vaporised anything yet!
PjhN: sir
chemkarate: (Q) Betazoids don't have a great record driving these things.
bradley1701: *T'Laris raises an eyebrow at Q's comment about her exemplary helm officer*
chaoshatchet: capt engineering is clear
SummerHeat: *spins around, draws his phaser pistol, and fires a stun beam at Q*
chemkarate: (Q) *looks at Des* By the way, my father showed me a picture of your aunt. She had a nice rack!
Solari: well you don't give us a lot to work with now do you ;)
chemkarate: (Q) ooo, ticklish!
chemkarate: (Q) Now play time is over, kiddies! BACK YOU GO!
chemkarate: (Q) *Disappears, and the ship rocks forward violently again*
bradley1701: All hand, brace yourselves!
PjhN: *gets knocked out of chair. hits head*
SummerHeat: *flies back into aft consoles...AGAIN* GAH!!!
chemkarate: Oh dammit, not aga-- *gets thrown to the floor again*
PjhN: damn it I wanted a *boy* doctor
