Host Nick says:
Previously on Arcadia: The Team has been flexing it's Semi-phenomenal Nearly-Cosmic powers in an attempt to distract the Qorg long enough to rescue the rest of the Cygnus' Crew
Host Nick says:
It seems to be working, nearly the entire crew has been rescued, and turned in to Q themselves to join the battle
Host Nick says:
Unfortunately it looks like the Qorg are getting restless.  Captain Harker now finds herself alone in a room with a single Qorg, who does not seem very happy
Host Nick says:
OPS and FCO have been using a defiant class ship as their manifestation of their powers, and are now in orbit of a Qorg planet, ready to launch a red matter weapon, and the CTO is slicing and dicing her way through Qorg pirates

OPS_Ltjg_Chambers says:
#FCO: I never thought I'd ever do something like this ... ::releases red-matter warhead at the planet::
OPS_Ltjg_Chambers says:
#FCO: Perhaps now would be a good time to move away
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
@Qourg: I'm the one who will be happy to accept your surrender.

Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
@Qourg: Shall we discuss terms or will unconditional do?
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
@::Thinks to self, "Yes I am completely insane."::
Nick is now known as Qorg.
Gina_7C is now known as CTO_Lt_Murphy.
Host Qorg says:
@::laughs:: CO: Funny... Let's try again, where did you get your powers, who gave them to you?
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
@Qorg: Found them under my pillow. You can't think I'd just volunteer that information. I mean really, it simply isn't polite. ::Full Brit Mode.::
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
@::Casts her mind about to check on status of her crew while paying attention to her qorg::
OPS_Ltjg_Chambers says:
# FCO: You think we should find another planet? I feel horrible actually abou this whole thing.
CTO_Lt_Murphy says:
$::Continues fighting the pirates and doing her best to wipe them all out::
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
@::Hides her shock her powers seem suppressed. Glances around at the area they are in.::
Host Qorg says:
ACTION: the Qorg planet the FCO and OPS were in orbit around is destroyed, turned into a black hole
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
::subltly rests her hand on her sword as her mind whirls with options.::
FCO_LtJg_Maui says:
#OPS:It isn't pleasant I know but we must do what needs to be done. :: blinks the ship to another suitable planet::
Host Qorg says:
ACTION: The CTO succeeds in rescuing the rest of the crew and destroying the pirate horde
OPS_Ltjg_Chambers says:
::swallows reluctantly and he prepares yet another device::
CTO_Lt_Murphy says:
$::Briefly moon walks across the lava in celebration and then goes into stealth mode to seek out the CO to see if she needs help::
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
::Hides her surprise at details of her surroundings come into view. They were in her quarters, she hide her confusion determined not to give qorg anything. She then notes there's no doors.."So a look alike then." she thinks to herself..::
OPS_Ltjg_Chambers says:
# FCO: Perhaps you should find out if any special mortals are still alive that where especially important to Q and we should target them.
Host Qorg says:
@CO: Perhaps your tongue needs to be loosened some more ::nods towards the window:: Look out there
Host Qorg says:
SCENE: Outside the window, Captain Harker can see the Cygnus, surrounded by Borg ships.
OPS_Ltjg_Chambers says:
# ::launches his second red-matter device in an attempt to wipe out yet another Qorg world:: FCO: Second warhead away!
Host Qorg says:
ACTION: The second warhead strikes true, destroying another Qorg world
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
@::Walks over and looks, knowing she's not sure how many are still aboard, responds.::Qorg: There's no need for this. Why is it you beings can not stand a fair fight.
Host Qorg says:
@CO: Let's try again, where did you get your powers?
FCO_LtJg_Maui says:
#::as soon as the warhead is fired she moves the ship to another planet:: OPS: we must move quicker i feel we are not destracting enough.
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
@Qorg: Why is this even a question, I thought you were all powerful. You can't just know the answer?::She asks curiously. Praying desperately that the others managed to get the crew clear.::
CTO_Lt_Murphy says:
$::Sends a mind-to-mind message to the OPS:: ~~~Crew rescued, heading back to the netherverse with them to regroup~~~
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
@::tries again to use her powers to check for life on the cygnus.::
Host Qorg says:
SCENE: The planet that OPS and FCO are in orbit around now seems different, a powerful energy source can be seen at the core of this world, the entire surface of the planet is covered with nanoprobes, it appears as if the Qorg homeworld has been located
CTO_Lt_Murphy says:
$::Collects all the remaining crew and heads back to the netherverse, disguising their trail as they go::
OPS_Ltjg_Chambers says:
# FCO: Alright  nice location
OPS_Ltjg_Chambers says:
# ::readies another warhead::
Host Qorg says:
@CO: Wrong Answer
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
Host Qorg says:
ACTION: The Borg ships open fire on the Cygnus, ripping it to shreds, obliterating it piece by piece
FCO_LtJg_Maui says:
#OPS: I think this one might just send up a red flag to Mister Thinks he can control everything
.
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
@::Draws her sword and attempts to cut his head off.::
Host Qorg says:
ACTION: The sword turns into a feather at her swipe, and the Captain finds herself holding a long feather wearing nothing but silk undergarments

Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
@::Prays her crew is safe but is seeing red because she just can't be sure...::
FCO_LtJg_Maui says:
#::blinks to a safe location keeping an eye out for borg ships::
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
@::glances around the fake quarters for a weapon or clothes, anything that might help her.::
Host Qorg says:
ACTION: The Red Matter warhead hits home, severing the Qorg planet in two as a massive black hole opens up at it's core, back in the fake quarters, the Qorg doubles over and is suddenly overcumb by a kick from the CO
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
@::pauses only a heart beat in shock as her kick connects. She continues to lay into him, wary of a trap.::
OPS_Ltjg_Chambers says:
# FCO: Lets copy about 10,000 of ourselves ship and all and really give this guy hell. Best put us at all stop somewhere first though. At least I think we can duplicate .. can't we?
Host Qorg says:
ACTION: Everyone, in all locations suddenly feels as if they have been hit by a massive shockwave and are hurtling through space, the Qorg slowly vanishes, being only a representation of a Qorg on that planet
Host Qorg says:
INFO: Everyone is now powerless, showing no sign of Q like powers as they hurtle through darkness
OPS_Ltjg_Chambers says:
#Self: Arrgh!!
CTO_Lt_Murphy says:
$Self: Bloody hell, not again...
OPS_Ltjg_Chambers says:
::looks around:: FCO: Teyla? You there?
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
@::Random thoughts fly through her head as she flies, including the random thoughts that her prays her crew is ok and she'll have clothes whereever she's going since it appears her powers are gone.::
Host Qorg says:
<Voice of Q> %All: You've done it! You destroyed him, I'm trying to get you back ho........
OPS_Ltjg_Chambers says:
Q: Hello?
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
Q: Q?
Host Qorg says:

#::hopes it is true that Qorg is destroyed::
CTO_Lt_Murphy says:
CO: Well, that's a new look fer ye, isn't it Boss? ::smirks::
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
::Jumps to her feet completely ignoring her outerwear.::
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
CTO: Report are all crew aboard? And what is the current star date?
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
::Glares about the ops center daring anyone else to comment.::
OPS_Ltjg_Chambers says:
All: Valid point how do we know this is not fake? ::snaps his fingers in an attempt to summon hot fugue::
CTO_Lt_Murphy says:
::Moves to Tactical and checks the date and scans for crew combadges::
CTO_Lt_Murphy says:
CO: Stardate 10906.29, and all crew assigned to the Cygnus are present and accounted for Sir.
OPS_Ltjg_Chambers says:
::moving to his station he attempts to ping the nearest Subspace relay::
CTO_Lt_Murphy says:
CO: The Cygnus, however is missing in action. Not in the vicinity or at its berth.
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
CTO: I see, you have Ops Lt. I'll be right back.
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
::As quickly as dignity will allow she goes to her office to pull out her spare uniform hanging in the closet.::
CTO_Lt_Murphy says:
CO: Aye Captain, I have the deck. ::moves to the central area and takes over the Command station::
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
::Is wondering how she's going to explain the lost of a Starfleet vessel...::
Qorg is now known as Nick.
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
::groans to herself, knowing that while not many would dare speak of it in her presence, the sight of her in pink underthings is going to fly throughout the station like it was going through the air vents.::
OPS_Ltjg_Chambers says:
CTO: Subspace relays and tracking are up to date with valid codes and confirm everyone else's findings. Looks like we are home. Starfleet Command is never going to believe us though.
OPS_Ltjg_Chambers says:
ALL: She was a good ship though...
CTO_Lt_Murphy says:
OPS: Aye, she was a tough little ship. Do me a favor, aye? Do a quick diagnostic on all station systems to make sure nothing is out of kilter?

Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
::Comes back tot he ops center fully uniformed.::
CTO_Lt_Murphy says:
All: Captain on deck!

Q: Hello Q. All well?
Host Nick says:
<Q> Self: Owww, that hurt
FCO_LtJg_Maui says:
::watches Q::
CTO_Lt_Murphy says:
Q: Serves ye right fer meddling, mate.
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
::Walks over to Q puzzled.::
OPS_Ltjg_Chambers says:
Q: That hurt? ::pulls out a tricorder on Q and scans him or at least attempts to::
Host Nick says:
<Q> CO: I'm sorry Captain, with the vast changes to reality that were going on, it was all I could do to get you home, I tried to recreate your ship, but I couldn't
Host Nick says:
INFO: Tricorder scans show Q as completely human
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
Q: It's ok given a choice you made the important one.::looks at him.::Q: Are you...ok?
OPS_Ltjg_Chambers says:
ALL: Circulatory system bone structure heart beat ...
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
::Offers him a hand up.::
Host Nick says:
<Q> CO: No, I've lost my powers, my last act was getting you all back ::graciously accepts the hand up::
OPS_Ltjg_Chambers says:
::grins:: Q: You human.. ::impressed::
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
Q: Coming from a Q that's a great sacrifice....
CTO_Lt_Murphy says:
CO: Any orders Sir?
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
CTO: Yes we'll need to debrief those that were on the Cygnus soon as possible so I can compile a report to Starfleet.
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
CTO: They are going to love it when I tell them what happened...
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
Q: Do you need anything?
CTO_Lt_Murphy says:
CO: I'll set up a schedule right away Sir.
CTO_Lt_Murphy says:
::gets out a PADD and starts arranging the interview schedule::
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
CTO: Thank you and if anyone managed to get hard evidence of anything on scanners etc...::She left it at that knowing the CTO knows her job.::
Host Nick says:
<Q> CO: I'm afraid there's nothing you can do for me, if I'm not mistaken, I'm not in phase with reality, my bodily functions will break down within the day
CTO_Lt_Murphy says:
CO: If you think Starfleet will be thrilled, wait until those buggers from Temporal Investigations get here.
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
Q: Maybe we can help. OPS: Work with medical and engineering can you see if it's possible to get him into phase...?
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
CTO: Don't remind me. ::small, shared glance of annoyance with the CTO.::
CTO_Lt_Murphy says:
FCO: Send a Runabout out to retrieve the sensor probe we launched, it might still be there.
FCO_LtJg_Maui says:
CTO: will do ::does as she is told::
OPS_Ltjg_Chambers says:
FCO: Just want to say Teyla, thanks it was nice to have the extra help you where a great navigator!
