"Hello, Q" Troi said politely, as the being appeared on the Bridge.
"Councilor" Q replied in a stately voice. He really didn't mind Deanna all that much. Well, at least, she hadn't given him reason to yet.
The ready room doors opened and Jean-Luc walked out.
"Q" he exclaimed, a bit surprised, "What are you doing here?"
"Did you miss me?" Q asked sweetly. Jean-Luc ignored him.
"I assume Raylyn's little charade went well" he commented, taking the seat Troi had just vacated.
"The Klingons are gone!" Q crowed, and then looked behind him, "Well, almost" he amended. Worf stared at him.
"Well, then" Jean-Luc gave Q a questioning look.
"It's time for you to go home, Jean-Luc" Q told him, "It's past your curfew"
"Ah. I see. Well, as soon as Geordi and Data are back on board..."
He was interrupted by a bright light. Both Data and LaForge appeared on the Bridge.
"Captain?" Geordi asked.
"It's all right, Geordi" Jean-Luc told him, "It appears out time is up. Mr. Worf, will you please hail the other ship?"
"Aye, Captain" Worf replied. Coincidentally, (or perhaps not) Riker and Crusher both stepped onto the Bridge just then.
"Papa?" Raylyn said as soon as her image had filled the forward view screen.
"Q has informed us that it's time to be getting back" Jean-Luc told her.
"Mmm. I thought he might" she answered. The picture drew back to reveal the rest of her command crew gathered on the Bridge.
"I'm sorry we can't stick around and see how those modifications work out for you" LaForge said.
"I'm sure they'll be a lot of help" Geordi replied.
"Good luck, Commander" Will nodded.
"And you, Captain" Riker replied.
/Goodbye/ Deanna called. Troi smiled back. There was a slight pause while they all took in the past week.
"Au revoir, Papa" Raylyn smiled.
A few seconds before, or a few seconds later...
"Back home, safe and sound" Q said merrily. They all took stock of the Bridge and themselves. Nothing seemed to have changed, but Raylyn and her ship were gone.
"In case any of you care to know, all that work paid off. They defeat the Borg in the end" the nearly all powerful being told them.
"Thank you, Q"
"Why of course, Jean-Luc!" Q grinned, "What are friends for?" And with that he disappeared.
"Well, that was an interesting experience" Will commented as the Command Crew all drifted to their normal places.
"Indeed, Number One" Jean-Luc agreed, "Indeed"
Raylyn snuggled into her husband's arms underneath the covers. She felt relaxed and happy. They now had a weapon against the Borg Threat, and she'd gotten to see her father again.
"Well, that was an interesting experience" Will whispered into her hair as they started to drift off to sleep.
"Indeed, my love" she smiled sleepily, "Indeed"
