Here's scene five, I really appreciate the reviews, so please r&r :)
Scene Five
As they entered Engineering they were greeted by the usual bustle. Some crewmembers giving orders here, some fixing conduits there. Suddenly, a young man with blonde hair and a boyish grin stepped off of what looked like a smaller version of a turbolift.
"Hello, Captain." His accent was obviously southern American, "Are you gonna introduce me to our guest?"
"Hey, Trip." Archer greeted his friend and Chief Engineer, "Captain, this in Lieutenant Tucker, my Chief Engineer. Trip, this is Captain Janeway."
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Captain." He reached out his hand to shake hers, "Call me Trip, everyone here does it."
She grasped his hand and shook it, "It's nice to meet you to, Trip."
"Are you from Earth?" He hadn't meant to emphasize 'Earth', but either way his voice had a note of disbelief in it.
"Yes, I am." She sounded amused, and as if to back up that asumption, a small lopsided grin creeped onto her face.
"She's also from the future." Archer revealed, Janeway looked slightly irked that he'd mentioned it.
"The future?" Trip was now quite shocked.
"Let's just say we've made first contact with an…Interesting…lifeform."
" 'Interesting' isn't half of it." Janeway commented.
"Ah," Trip gave a sigh of understanding, "So, you want a tour?"
"Sure."
"Okay, we've got one of the fastest ships in the galaxy right now."
"How fast does she go?" Captain Janeway inquired.
"Warp five." Trip said with an air of pride in his voice.
"Impressive."
"How fast does your ship go, Captain?" Janeway paused after Archer asked the question, debating if she should tell them or not, "You seem awfully hesitant to give us any information on your self, mind if I ask why?" Archer continued, crossing his arms over his chest.
She sighed, "In my time frame, we have something we call the Temporal Prime Directive. It forbids us to do anything that may alter the course of history, including giving out information."
"Well, you've already given us some." Archer pointed out.
"That's because I know that Q is behind all of this, and as much of a pain as he might be, he usually will fix whatever mess he gets us into."
"Very well. How fast does you ship go?"
"I'm still not sure if Q will fix everything that happens here yet. Although, I'm quite positive that he will soon."
"All right…" Archer was cut off by a flash of white light.
"And how is everyone?" Q put is arm around Janeway's shoulders and gave her an affectionate look, she just shoved his arm off and rolled her eyes, putting her head in her hand. Archer just raised his eyebrows at their interesting display.
"Kathy! Why so cold?"
"Well, let's see. You've just taken me back a few HUNDRED years into Earth's history, along with the Doctor. And I now have no way to tell what's happening in MY time frame. Hell, for all I know, Star Fleet command has already sentinced my crew to life!"
"All right, all right. No need to fret my dear!" This comment was meet with a glare from Captain Janeway that could burn a hole through the hull, "Nothing is happening to them. Nothing important that is."
"What did you do." She commented in a dry, icy tone.
"I just put them in a time loop. Nothing to worry about. Now, why don't you just take a break, tour the ship. I do recall your dear doctor telling you to take a short break at some point to 'relieve stress'."
"Well you certainly aren't helping much." By the time she'd finished her sentence, he had disappeared in a flash of light.
"Well, Trip, I do believe you've now meet our other visitor, Q." Archer informed Trip.
At this point everyone in Engineering had stopped what they were doing to stare at the unique confrontation that had just occurred.
"Okay everyone, back to work." Trip ordered, then he turned to Janeway and gave her one of his best grins, "How'd you like me to give you that tour?"
She smiled, "That would be nice. I'd love to see a piece of history." With that last bit, Archer and Trip both looked quite proud of their ship, "Oh, and Captain," She continued, "Voyager, my ship, has a top speed of warp 9." She grinned, and allowed them both to recover a bit before Trip lead her off to see the core of the Enterprise.
Good? Bad? Did I get the characters personalities correct? :D
