Chapter 0: The Experiment
Being an omnipotent being had its limitations…like right now. Our favorite omnipotent being was sitting in a sea of nothingness, looking for something new. Although he would never admit it, Q was board out of his skull. But that's when the all important deity of fate decided to have fun.
"Is this how you spend your days off Q?" a young male voice asked.
Q opened one eye and said, "Not really, Q, but I wanted to try this whole 'nothingness' thing that I kept hearing about."
"Well, I hate to admit it but it's kinda droll." A young man stepped out of the shadows.
Q looked at the man with both eyes now and asked, "Don't you have a silly universe to keep an eye on?"
"Yeah, but when you have to listen to a kid getting chased for either his honor or his genes for about the last few years, you tend to start going gaga." The other Q said.
"Well, at least for us a few years pass in a few seconds." Q said with a slight smile.
The other Q looked around for a moment and said, "Q, how's about we have a little fun with our prospective universes."
"Q, why do you even ask that?" Q asked.
The other Q looked at Q with slight annoyance and said, "You are just as bored as I am…maybe even more. I'm saying, why don't we shake things up a bit? I mean…how long has it been since you've seen your little friend Jean-Luc?"
Q thought about it for a moment, weighed the good and the bad, and said, "Why not?"
"Excellent…and I know just what to do. What I propose to do is take a few fighters from the universe I'm keeping watch on and send them to your universe." The other Q said.
"For how long?" Q asked.
"Until they either leave the main fighter alone or they kill each other…which ever comes first." The other Q said.
"All right…I think I'll pay Jean-Luc a visit before we begin. Care to come along? Q asked.
The other Q smiled and said, "No, I gotta get ready to begin the experiment. That and get an aspirin."
With a smile, both omnipotent beings had flashed out of existence. If fate had a sense of humor, she was going to show the crew of the Enterprise this humor in spades…
