Q Drops By Part 1
By: Richard D. Phillips
Chapter 1
We are waiting for our next mission to begin.
"Captain, we have a destructive visitor on the ship," stated Commander Brooks.
"On my way."
"Don't bother going. It's too far for you to walk there when I can just pop in," stated Q.
""Don't bother staying around. Every captain has been briefed on your havoc on the Enterprise with Captain Picard."
"Those times were the best."
"What do you want?"
"Just to have some fun with the crew."
"Why don't you have some fun with the Klingons, Romulans and Vulcans."
"Klingons and Romulans are too violent and Vulcans talk about logic all the time."
"Fine. Stay, but don't create trouble. I'll throw you off in record time."
"Thank you, Alex."
Q left the ready room and popped into the lounge. Commander Brooks walked into the ready room.
"Is he gone?" asked Brooks.
"No, he is in the lounge."
"What does he want?"
"I don't know."
"I'm sure we will find out soon."
"Post more security around the ship."
"He hasn't caused any trouble yet."
"Give him a few more minutes."
The destructive Q has popped up on the ship. We are putting up with him for the time being.
"That wasn't very nice of you to say about me," complained Q.
"No, but it is the truth."
"The ship is much smaller than the others."
"I will inform Starfleet Command of your professional opinion."
"Don't bother. I'll do it myself."
"Don't you have to be somewhere else other than my ship?'
"I like it here and besides I don't have anywhere else to go."
"Find somewhere."
"I believe I'm not wanted here," stated Q, as he sent himself elsewhere.
"Captain, we have a problem," stated Lieutenant Commander Hall.
"Go ahead."
"Q has gone inside of the warp core."
"I'll be down in a few minutes."
Captain Leno went down to Main Engineering and went over to the warp core, where Q was playing about
"He won't come out," stated hall.
"Q get out of the warp core," ordered Leno.
"I won't and you can't make me."
"Are we having any problems with him in there?"
"None," answered hall.
"Leave him in there. It gives me time away from him."
Captain Leno went to his quarters. Kamara came by a while later.
"Q has been causing trouble all over the ship," stated Kamara.
"I don't think I can stand him too much longer."
"Not so loud. He might hear you."
"I don't care. Computer, locate Q."
"Q is on Deck 9," responded the computer."
"I didn't know the computer could locate Q so easily."
"It’s a program I've been working on."
"It seems to work."
"He can stay down there. I don't want to put up with him right now."
Q continues to remain aboard the ship. He has caused minor damage to the ship. Starfleet says to put with him for now.
"Captain, a Jem'Hadar ship has been located nearby," stated Lieutenant Commander Jones.
"Red alert."
"This is the worst war since the Borg," stated Q.
“We have you to thank for that one and this war is the worst one in Federation history,” replied Leno.
“I didn’t do anything to start this one.”
“We don’t about that.”
“Well, I didn’t.”

“Dominion ships closing,” reported Jones.
“I think I will leave, but don’t worry, I will be back.”
“He’s not on the ship for the moment,” reported Jones.
“Now to get rid of the Jem’Hadar,” stated Brooks.
“They will be easier to get rid of than Q,” stated Leno.”
“He is annoying,” added Ensign Murphy.
“That’s a fact,” stated Brooks.
“Lock weapons onto to the ship and fire once in range."
"No damage. Torpedoes went through the ship," stated Jones.
"Q is behind this. Stand down. There was no ship," stated Leno.
"How did you guess?" asked Q, appearing on the Texas again.
"It wasn't that hard when our torpedoes went through the image.
"I love keeping captains ready for battle."
"What do you want from us?"
"I just want to have some fun."
"Captain, we have just moved," stated Jones.
"Where are we?"
"Back into history where dinosaurs roamed the Earth," answered Q.
"Captain, some dinosaurs are approaching the ship," reported Jones.
"Back us away, full impulse. Return us to where we belong," ordered Leno.
"Not until I'm ready," stated Q, transforming himself into a dinosaur.
"That is the ugliest dinosaur I have ever seen," stated Murphy.
"That wasn't nice, Helen," stated Q.
"Get back in here," ordered Leno.
"He has returned us to our correct time."
"Where is he now?" asked Brooks.
"Gone for good? Maybe he stayed in the past," stated Ensign Wilson.
"Wishful thinking. I wouldn't leave a great crew and ship," stated Q.
"Go find another ship to play with," stated Leno.
"We wouldn't mind if you left us," stated Murphy.
"You'll hate to see me go. I'll think I will go to the shuttlebay."
"Ready the tractor beams. He may try to take a shuttle and I don't want that to happen," stated Leno.
"He's taking a shuttle and the tractor beams aren't responding," stated Jones.
"Set a course for the shuttle, match speed."
"We will catch up to it in a few seconds," reported Murphy.
"Beam the shuttle aboard and raise the shields."
"The shuttle is on the ship. A Jem'Hadar ship is approaching and it is a real one," stated Jones.
"Some one is accessing top secret personnel files," stated Brooks.
"Computer, lock out the computer cores. Authorization Leno Delta-12."
"Authorization accepted. Computer cores locked out to all other staff except senior staff."
"Send security teams to all three cores."
"Q is behind the hacking."
"It figures. Who else would be able to break into the cores in so little time," stated Brooks.
"Figure out what systems he went trough."
"He only went through your service record," answered Jones.
"What would he want there?" asked Brooks."
"Just about anything," answered Leno.
"The Jem'Hadar ship has been disabled," stated Jones.
"Stand down. Find Q. I want to talk to him."
Chapter 3
"What did you want with my service record?" asked Leno.
"Not much. You'll find out very soon what I've planned for you," stated Q.
"I don't want your surprise. Just get off my ship and don't come back."
"It sounds like I'm not welcome here. I'll be back soon and you'll regret you were born."
"Is he gone?" asked Brooks.
"For now. He's coming back for me. Put the ship on high alert. I want full scans taken every minute inside the ship until we figure out what Q wants. I'm going to contact Starfleet Command."
Captain Leno went to call Admiral HiLGoh of Starfleet Command.
"Q has something planned for me," stated Leno.
"There is nothing we can do to stop Q. He's too far advanced for us to stop. Keep in contact. I will review the logs from Captain Picard for the time being."
"Thank you."
"What is he going to do?" asked Brooks."
"There's nothing he can do about Q."
I have learned Q has plans for me. Whatever his plans are, I am sure there are evil.
"How are you feeling?" asked Kamara.
"Not well when Q has plans for me. Anything he thinks of is dangerous."
"You'll be fine. Don't worry about him."
"I have to. Q can do anything he wants."
"I've read about him in the Captain Picard's logs. Q has visited the Enterprise-D many times.
"I can't think of what he has planned for me."
Alex is very nervous. He can't stop walking around the ship. I've never seen him so worried before.
Captain Leno finally sat down in his quarters to relax for a few minutes."
"It's time," stated Q.
