I can't believe this: Honestly, this is the first like half-hour I've had to myself in two or three weeks (I can't even remember). Anyhow, this may and or may not be terribly confusing. So feel free to ask questions or point out blatant errors or anything else, heck just reviewing in general is fantastic.
"What do you mean 'Q space'?"
"Yes, Captain. This is the sacred quadrant, where the Q live."
"Miral? Are you all right?"
Miral was staring out the front window, her mouth absent-mindedly parting at the middle and her eyes un-blinking. Her mother walked over and patted her on the shoulder, in an attempt to remove her from her stupor. She jerked away, blinked once, but never turned her eyes.
"She's seeing more than you are, Captain." explained Q, from the back.
"What does that mean?"
"You and I both know there's more than you can see in the universe."
"Let's hope so." said the Captain, staring out across the black abyss. "Ship's status, Saka?"
"Everything appears to be at full strength, Captain." said the mystified ensign.
"It's not." said Q as he jumped up to the control panel. He hit a few buttons, "Try again."
Saka ran another scan. "Shields: 0; weapons: 0; life support: minimal; plasma reserves are completely depleted and nothing else is worth mentioning because it's not there."
"Do we have impulse engines?"
"Not much." he replied, "Maybe enough for a few thousand kilometers but not any more."
"I see." The Captain had her teeth clenched in desperate defiance. "Anyone have an idea?"
No one answered.
"Q?" she asked, knowing he was the only one who might have the smallest chance of saving them.
"If I were you captain, I wouldn't do anything." He answered very mysteriously.
"What's going on?"
He shook his head as if to say 'no'. Now he too was staring out the window, but he was looking for something.
"What's out there?" the Captain continued to question. "Is Miral all right? What's going on."
Q squinted, he was looking at Miral. His face was drawn tightly. Suddenly and without explanation, he lunged at her. She fell at once. Everyone on the deck rushed over with phasers drawn, had Q gone mad in this quadrant. Miral struggled to breathe as she lay on the floor, Q over her holding her down.
Miral was shocked, she couldn't breathe and her head swam wildly. What had happened? Why did Q push her over? Why had he taken her away from that beautiful thing she was watching? Why was he so selfish? She hated him! She lunged at him, with the intent to kill him.
"Help me." yelled Q. He knew this would happen. Miral was being violent. Three others pushed down on Miral's shoulders but her adrenaline was pumping and they had more difficulty than they expected. She struggled underneath the weight of five full grown men before succumbing.
Why?!! Miral's mind was racing and illogical. Q was the problem and now these men were a problem. She focused her mind on him, attempting to destroy him at the sub-atomic level. She let out a terrific roar and pushed the men aside.
People on the Bridge screamed as Q stumbled backwards in pain. What was happening to his face? Then he realized it was Miral, although he didn't know how she was doing it. She was standing now, staring directly at him with the most menacing look imaginable on her face. He had to do something, now. He rushed at her, covering her eyes with his hand and pushed her backwards. Blindly, he pushed her against a bulkhead, hard. She hit with an audible 'oof' from her lungs and stood for a moment. Everyone on the Bridge stood silently, hearts racing, Q searched her face for signs of what she would do next. Slowly, her back slid down the post and she landed in a sitting position with her knees drawn close.
Q tentatively took his hand off of her eyes. They were squeezed shut. He didn't know what to think until he saw the slightest quiver of a hiccough go through her body. Slowly a single tear slid down her face. "Miral?" he said softly, then touched her face and called her name again. She jerked her head at his touch, her eyes flickered open for a second to see him watching her, and then hugged him. He smiled, he knew the hug didn't mean much and that she was just scared, but he was glad that she did it.
"She's okay." he announced, still gazing at her. He picked her up and headed for the holodeck. "She just needs a little bit of rest now."
Yes, well, I told you it would be confusing but I think it's pretty cool. Well writen, no, but neat, yes. WYL (maybe)
