Star Trek: Q

by Rare Ship Shipper

The Q Continuum has punished yet another Q, but this time by forcing her to work with mortals directly. What did she do to deserve this punishment? The crew of the U.S.S. Amsterdam is taking her in after transferring from the Maple, and don't know what to expect. But they don't know what to expect from the Vulcan automaton, either.

"Lieutenant Commander Q's Log, Stardate whatever time it is you mortals that are actually paying attention to this go by. *rolls eyes, leans back in chair* Today was, well, uneventful for me. We got attacked by Romulans, flung halfway into the next Universe, and made it back in time to see the birth of Starfleet. All in all, your average Tuesday... Or is today Friday? Either way, my 'punishment' by the Continuum's standards is serving its purpose. I must say, I have learned something about these facinating creatures... Specifically a Vulcan Automaton, if you get what I'm saying. *laughs* Anyway, I better get going. I think I accidentally ripped open the fabric of space. Surprisingly fragile seams, if you catch the thread just right. Ta-ta!" -Helmsman Lieutenant Commander Q, Full Log

"... Furthermore, at 15:00 hours, the new recruit got us out of harms way with the Romulans by placing our ship an almost incountable amount of lightyears away from our previous position. Supposedly her 'vacation home'... Lieutenant Commander Q showed her quick-thinking when the locals started attacking us... Amsterdam was sent back to Earth, but two centuries in the past... Nontheless, our 22nd century historian was pleased to witness the founding of Starfleet... I requested if we could witness the founding of the Vulcan Science Academy, but the Captain suggested that we get back to our own time as soon as possible..." -Science Officer and Number One Commander *censored by VSA* "Gadget", Abridged

"Captain Sahara's Log, 1 October, 2365. We have a new recruit on the Amsterdam, and a Q, no less. Starfleet and the Q Continuum have reassured us that she did complete the necessary training and rightfully earned her rank on the Maple, which was a relief... All in all, she's proving herself to have the potential to be a good helmsman, even if her idea of getting us out of a situation means taking us into the next Universe..." -Captain Hypatia Sahara of the U.S.S. Amsterdam, Abridged
