Star Trek Universe: Location Q-Continuum...

Q sat in a chair as he brewed over how to antagonize the Enterprise crew again. Suddenly he felt something that didn't seem to belong. It was there for a fraction of a second before it was gone. He considered checking on it but waved it away as he went back to his plans for the Enterprise.

…

Star Trek Universe: Location Planet Iconia..

"Has Q detected us?" I asked Washu as the last Alice and Tali joined us.

Washu looked visibly frustrated. "No, but this damn program is trying to rewrite my computer." She said annoyed. She went about securing her computer before shutting it off and stowing it in one of her portals.

"What is the danger to the Replicators?" I asked curious. I didn't feel anything trying to infiltrate the Replicators systems. But still, better be safe than sorry.

"This species technology was advanced in areas, but their AI's were dumb." Washu said. She had pulled her computer back out of her portal and quickly hacked into the Iconian computer terminal.

"Make sure everything is as we left it. I don't fancy the Enterprise noticing anything odd. I doubt they will, but still.. there is always the chance of Q." I said.

Washu nodded. She glanced to her arm where there was a watch that had a timer on it. "We've got two hours before my protection bubble disintegrates and the Q becomes aware of hour presence."

I smiled "Than let us work quickly."

With Washu's help we copied all the data we could from the lone computer terminal. Finally with twenty minutes to spare we disappeared back through the portal.

….

As soon as we stepped through Kurumu was waiting for me and I nodded my head as she quickly dropped to a knee.

"My Emperor, Will you allow me to speak now? I didn't have a chance to explain when we had returned form the Stargate Universe." Kurumu said.

I glanced at Washu and nodded as she along with Tali vanished to her lab to start going over the data we collected.

I nodded to Alice who bowed and stepped back into the shadows.

Finally I was left alone with Kurumu. I could feel as well as see the tremors that were running through the young Succubus.

"Walk with me child!" I commanded. Her eyes widened as I had switched my voice. Her tremors became more apparent as she realized that I only used the voice when I was trying to scare and intimidate people.

"We did not have a chance to debrief as I need Washu and Tali's expertise on a project of mine." I said. I stared straight ahead as we made our way towards the throne room.

"Forgive me master, but... did Washu or Tali mention what happened?" She asked.

I glanced at her and she seemed to shrink back a bit "No child, we do not gossip about one another. Your fear of losing your first command is not in jeopardy. You did the right thing by leaving the system when you did. The Wraith must not become aware of us yet." I said coming to a halt in front of the large doors.

She smiled "Thank you my Emperor." She kowtowed.

I nodded and turned towards the doors as a pair of servants quickly opened them for us.

There was a great many people who were waiting to see me and I smiled as I looked upon my subjects.

"What was your little project my Emperor?" Kurumu asked.

I smiled "You'll see soon enough." I said as I climbed the stairs to my throne.

….

Washu was getting angry as she worked on a device with the giant magnifying glass over one eye. She rarely got frustrated but having another hand here was irritating her. The girl was a genius sure.. but dammit she was driving her nuts with her talking.

"Look, your nice and all. But could you please not talk while I'm doing this. The slightest mess up will cause it to explode." The Pink haired woman said.

Tali rolled her eyes as she went back to work at her station.

Finally some time later Washu let out a breath as she wiped the sweat from her brow.

"It's almost complete." She said smiling.

"What is almost complete?" I asked as I walked up behind her. She jumped looking started before shooting a few choice words at me. I couldn't help but chuckle.

She put her hands on her hips and sighed. "Why must you keep insisting on doing that?" She asked while rolling her eyes in annoyance.

"Because its enjoyable. Now, what have you got?" I asked as I ignored the audible growl from her.

With a final glare she turned back to the machine she had been working on. It was about the size of a small trunk.

"This is a portable gateway generator." She said. She pressed a few buttons on it and a doorway appeared out of thin air. In the doorway I could see another room of the palace.

"Interesting, how did you manage to utilize the technology so fast?" I asked curiously.

Washu looked appalled "You forget who your talking to, but if you must know. I already utilize something similar for myself, so it wasn't to hard to modify this technology." She said.

I nodded "You did good my dear Washu."

She nodded than gave me a thoughtful look "May I ask, why are you so interested in this technology?" She asked.

I smiled. My Washu was intelligent as ever "Simple, while we can use the dimensional gateways whenever we want. I wanted something similar for my army. Thank about it Washu, We wouldn't have to send hundreds of ships just to transport troops. We could send an entire invasion force through these new gateways while our starships engage an enemy from orbit." I said smiling.

Washu nodded in understanding before she turned back to the machine. "I will have a few more made available for you in three days." She said as she pulled her welders mask back down.

I nodded and quickly teleported to the waiting chamber outside of the throne room. Jean was there with my daughters, I couldn't help but smile as they turned to me.

"Daddy!" An Emma sized blur slammed into me.

Sarah who was behind her sister, chuckled at her younger sisters actions. "She's such a daddy's girl." She said. Emma stuck out her tongue at her before burying her face in my side again.

Jean came over and gave me a warm smile and a quick kiss. Which caused Emma to go "Eww" causing all of us to laugh.

"Will you be staying for awhile husband?" Jean asked.

I smiled and nodded "Yes, my mission was a success."

She nodded and turned to the two girls "Your father will be staying home for a few days. I think It would be great if we all did something fun together don't you?" She said to the two girls.

Both nodded and she turned back to me "See, now you've got no choice in the matter." She teased.

I chuckled and shook my head in amusement "Ah my lovely ladies, whatever will I do without you." I said.

"You'd be hopelessly lost." Jean teased again.

I pulled all three into a hug before I stepped back and my armor engaged. I nodded to the three most important women in my life before turning and heading into the throne room.

As I made my way up to the throne Aria approached me with the days agenda. I sighed as it was going to be a long day.

Mass Effect Universe: Location: Omega

Miranda, along with Kasumi and Issac made their way up the stairs to this universes version of Aria T'loak.

Miranda smiled as she thought about how subservient the once powerful Aria had become. The station had been fully taken over not long ago. Now every new ship docking would proceed to be gassed and than sent on their way.

As they crested the stairs Aria's familiar form came into view.

Aria noticing Miranda immediately dropped to a knee. "May the Empire shine forever!" She said while bringing a fist up to her chest.

Miranda nodded and waved her hand. Aria nodded and stood up to face her.

"How goes the progress?" Miranda asked. She walked past Aria and leaned against the railing. The music constantly pounding in the background was starting to give her a slight headache.

Aria handed her a OSD in response. Miranda gazed over it and nodded before handing it back to Aria. "Your doing a good job. The Emperor will be pleased." Miranda said.

Aria bowed her head "I live to serve." She said.

"And so you shall. Now, I want a VIP table out of the way. We have Empire business to discuss." Miranda said.

Aria nodded before fetching an Asari waitress to clear a table in one of the upper balconies.

Miranda and the rest followed the waitress to the table and sat down. They placed their orders for a few drinks. After the waitress left Miranda turned to the rest of the group. "Now, I think we should discuss the possibility of sending some gas containers to Earth." She said smiling.

Location: Planet Zorya

Vido Santiago was scared... scared as hell. Over the past twenty four hours he's lost over thirty men. Now he was down to just four.

They had called for pick up but their communications had been sabotaged. Currently they were making their way to the vehicle hanger.

"Watch the shadows." Vido commanded as he moved quickly with his four guards.

They were just about to the hanger when a flash flew past his face and he heard a scream.

He turned to notice that one of his men was gone. The other three were looking around wildly when they heard the fourth man scream before a sickening crunch was heard.

Vido her a wet smack of something hitting the cement floor and looked down to see the mans head roll to his feet.

He stumbled backwards in horror when suddenly he heard a woman giggle.

"He tasted lovely.. I wonder what the others taste like?" The voice asked.

Vido turned and ran for the hanger. His men quickly followed before another vanished and his scream was soon heard as well.

Vido ran as fast as his feet would carry him. Just as he reached the door one of the two surviving soldiers was hit sideways and vanished into the darkness.

The other soldier looked around wildly as the hanger door opened. Vido looked at the transport than back at the remaining soldier. Vido pulled out his pistol and shot the man quickly dropping his shields. The man turned quickly towards Vido with his AR but Vido was fast and shot the man in the leg. The guard dropped to the ground gripping his leg as Vido quickly dashed towards the transport.

"Why?" The guard yelled on the ground in pain. Vido stopped as he reached the transport. He glanced back over his shoulder and smirked "Better you than me." He said.

He opened the door and his smile dropped as a woman sat in the gunship staring at him.

"Well hello.." Mileena smiled widely. She grabbed Vido and yanked him into the ship.
