Last time on the Quirinus....
Q takes them to a planet where children are being sacrificed into a volcano and then the crew find themselves on Vulcan in a deadly quiet street. What is it Q could be wanting from them?

CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
:: Standing on the bridge, waiting to see what will happen next.::
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
::looks around::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::on bridge::
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
::working at his station in Engineering::
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
::Standing next to Sulek on the bridge::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::moves to chair::
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
CO: So what now?
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
aFCO: Helm... resume course and speed.
CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
:: Sneezes and then frowns.::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Pangborn: We wait and try to find out what it is that Q would want badly enough to violate the Continuum's non interference.
CSO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
:: checks sensor logs ::
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
::reluctantly takes a seat:: Sulek: I was never good at the waiting game.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::turning:: Azhure: You should have that checked.  With Q's moving us about, you could have caught something.
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
::runs scans::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Kraight: Check the databases cross-referencing what we saw.
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
::all systems still fine::
CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
CO: I will do that now.  :: With a mental impression, she relays to him that Q is here... somewhere, hiding.  Then with a nod, turns to leave the bridge.::
CSO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
:: nods :: CO: Aye, sir. :: turns back to his console ::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::he nods to Azhure as she leaves::
CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
:: As the lift closes, she orders it to medical.::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::louder than necessary:: Pangborn: Who would have thought that Q would be so foolish as to expect us to break the Prime and Temporal directives. He of all species should understand this commitment.
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
Sulek: Undoubtedly they do. Being omniscient has it's benefits.
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
::starts to make his rounds and turns to greet crewman:: Crewman: Hello.

ACTION: Q pops into the spot where the CNS was just occupying

CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
:: With a sneeze, she steps off the lift as it stops and apologizes to the person waiting to get on.::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::without looking:: Q: Are you foolish, Q?
CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
:: Makes her way to medical.  Quickly she spies the doctor and fills him in on why she was there.::
CSO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
:: turns when he hears Q materialize ::
Host Q says:
CO: No I'm just bored. Everyone in the Continuum is busy arguing whether we should relinquish our powers and become mortal again. Its very boring!
CSO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
Q: Why are the Q considering becoming mortals?
Host Q says:
<CMO_McCarthy>  CNS: Let me take a scan. :: runs the tricorder over the CNS ::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Q: So then you are out "playing" with the mortals?
CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
:: Sneezes again with a sigh.  She rarely was sick and as such, had really no tolerance of it in herself.::
Host Q says:
CO: In essence, yes. If this goes through I want to know what it's like to have all the emotions the mortals have ahead of time. See it for myself.
Host Q says:
CSO: Only a very few are. The rest of us feel that we should be the guardians of the universe and stay as we are.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Q: You cannot observe emotions...you must experience them.
CSO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
Q: If you want to understand emotions, you will have to become mortal yourself. Merely observing mortals will not be sufficient.
Host Q says:
<CMO_McCarthy>  CNS: Here this should help. Your experience with this Q seems to have had a rather bad effect on your system. This will bring it into balance again.
Host Q says:
CO: But you're wrong we can observe emotions through others and in a sense feel them.
CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
:: chuckles:: CMO: Are you saying I am allergic to him?
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
::goes to TL to check Anti Matter Pods and Deuterium Storage on Deck 8:: TL: Deck 8
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Q:  Spoken like one who does not know what he is talking about, or did you think Vulcans suppress ours for entertainment value?
Host Q says:
<CMO_McCarthy>CNS: In essence, yes.
Host Q says:
CO: I've not really understood why you Vulcans suppress your emotions. What fun would that be.
CSO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
Q: You can grant others the power of the Q, can you not?
Host Q says:
CSO: Yes I could if I so desired.
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
::arrives on Deck 8 and nods to another crewman:: Crewman: Keep up the good work.
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
::walks by and keeps going to check the storage pods::
CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
:: Slips off the biobed.::  CMO: Lovely... I will let the captain know.
CSO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
Q: Then I have a proposition for you. Grant one of us the power to return you to a state of Q-ness, and plant a mental compulsion for that person to do so at a predetermined time. Then make yourself mortal, and experience true emotion.
Host Q says:
<CMO_McCarthy>  CNS: Hopefully the Q will return us to our own space soon.
CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
CMO: All things are possible... :: as she walks out the door, she sighs under her breath::  If not necessarily probable.
Host Q says:
CSO: Intriguing thought, but being such a young Q the elders would frown upon it I think.
CSO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
Q: You fear your elders?
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Kraight: An interesting idea... of course we would need assurances of return to our own sector.  I would also limit the power only to return Q...not any other use.
Host Q says:
CSO: I personally do. the elders right now are like I say infighting. Almost like a dysfunctional family. They've already banished a good number of us.
CSO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
Q: Frankly, I think you fear more the prospect of really experiencing emotions.
Host Q says:
:: starts fuming :: CSO: I do not!
CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
*CO*: When you have a moment, I would like to speak with you.  Meanwhile, I will be in my quarters.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
*Azhure* Understood.  Our visitor has returned by the way.
CSO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
:: shrugs dismissively ::  Q: If you say so...   :: turns away ::
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
Q: Then why not take Mr. Kraight up on his notion?

ACTION: the CSO gets a funny feeling in his head

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Q: So you do have basic emotions. Childish fear is a base and weak emotion, however.
CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
*CO*: Expected...
CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
:: Stepping into the lift, she orders it to her quarters.::  *CTO*: Where have you parked yourself?
CSO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
:: straightens up ::

ACTION: The containment field begins to collapse

CSO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
:: turns ::  Q: What... are you doing?
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
::scans storage tank 2 and finds some negligible stress fractures and repairs them with his kit right away::
Host Q says:
CSO: I'm giving you a chance to get your crew a bit further home. :: pulls out a small knife and cuts himself cries out and starts to see some fluid come out of him.
Host Q says:
ALL: What is this stuff?  ::points to the red fluid coming from the cut ::
CSO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
Q: You've made yourself mortal.
CSO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
Q: That is called blood.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::reb::  Kraight: He's taken you up on the offer.  You are his savior so it would seem.
Host Q says:
All: SOMEONE stop it! I don't know what to do...
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
Q: Oh please, cut the histrionics.
CSO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
:: looks up and aside, as though searching his mind ::  CO: Yes... he has... I can feel the power he has deposited within me...
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
::checks some ODN conduits that relay status data back to Engineering::
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
CSO: Kraight, bring us back.....
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
Self: Well, they seem fine. Time to head back up to the Bridge and see what's going on there.
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
::walks back to the TL to head to the Bridge::
CTO_Cmdr_Powers says:
:: non-commitally ::  *CNS*: I'm.... here.  Where are you?
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::moves to locker and takes plasmaderm from a medkit and then moves to Q:: Q: Hold our your arm.
Host Q says:
:: grimaces and smiles softly :: thank you all...
CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
:: Steps off the lift::  *CTO*:  Lovely... I am glad you are somewhere in the vicinity.  Where?
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
::gets into TL:: TL: Bridge.
CSO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
XO: I don't have that power, sir. I don't know how... but I know that all I can do is return Q to his omnipotent state.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Q: I thought you said you weren't foolish.
CSO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
CO: He did say he was young...
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
::looks down at his phaser and notices the battery is low on charge and decides to go to the armory to replace it::
CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
:: As the doors to he quarters open, she steps in with a sigh and walks over to the replicator to order some hot tea.::
Host Q says:
CO: Well okay maybe this one is.. :: whimpers ::
CTO_Cmdr_Powers says:
*CNS*: Where do you need me to be?
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
TL: Redirect, Deck 7, Armory.
CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
*CTO*:  Where I need you to be and where I would like you to be are two different things.  :: smiles as she takes the hot cup and walks over to the couch to curl up for a few minutes.:: I thought you would like the idea that I am apparently allergic to Q... or at least this one.
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
::steps off TL and walks over the armory::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Kraight: Take Q to Nero's.  Taste should cause some interesting emotional responses.
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
CSO: Hell. Cut him again if you want.
CSO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
CO: Aye, sir.   Q: Come with me.

ACTION: as the CEO walks by a panel in the wall it explodes sending him flying into the bulkhead across the hall.

CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
::falls down::
Host Q says:
CSO: Oh very well. :: slightly annoyed ::
CTO_Cmdr_Powers says:
:: snorts ::  *CNS*: Surprising.  Maybe he has a specific type of dandruff.
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
::taps comm badge:: *Bridge*: Telarus to Bridge. Explosion Deck 7 Armory.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::rises:: Pangborn: I need to meet the counselor.  Powers: Detail security to Nero's.
CSO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
:: gestures Q into the turbolift ::  CPU: Nero's.
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
*Engineering*: Fire and Damage Control to Deck 7, Armory on the double.
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
Computer: Fire suppression system online now!

ACTION: The CEO's commands are not acknowledged

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Pangborn: You have the Conn.
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
CO: Aye Captain
CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
:: chuckles:: *CTO*: I will try to get a sample should the opportunity arise.  At the moment, I am in our quarters giving the docs antihistamine a chance to properly react.
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
::goes over to access panel to pull manual override::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
*Azhure* I am on my way. Q, for the time being is powerless. ::crosses to the TL:: Counselor's quarters.
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
::pulls actuator switch::
CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
*CO*: I can join you...

ACTION: The containment field on the warp core goes to negligible levels and the core starts to go critical

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
*Azhure* Will meet you at your quarters.
CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
*CO*: Acknowledged...
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
::Fire and damage crew arrive and tell him of the emergency::
CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
:: Stands to get another cup of hot tea.::
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
Crewmen: Get on this right now.
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
*Security*: Get down to the armory to supervise please.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::arrives deck and steps of TL::
CTO_Cmdr_Powers says:
<Sec_Nani> *CEO*: What's going on in the Armory?

ACTION: Alarm klaxons start to ring out for the core breach

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
*CEO*: I'm reading that warp core is about to go critical, son. Care to tell me anything?
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
*XO*: On it I was just getting back from the fire in the armory when I heard about this.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
*Bridge*: Report... ::stopping in the middle of the hall.::
CSO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
:: steps off the turbolift just as the klaxons sound ::  Q: That's the core breach alarm. We have to get to Engineering. Come on! :: takes off at a dead run ::
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
Computer: Transfer power from Auxiliary Power and reinforce the Containment Field, increase coolant flow 15 percent.
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
Crewman: Get over there and get the portable field emitters for the containment field and get me the portable power generators and hook em up now.
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
*CEO*: As long as we're not in the escape pods before you fix it.
CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
:: Leaving the hot tea, steps out of her quarters as the alarm continues to sound.::
Host Q says:
:: looks confused and then runs after the CSO ::
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
<Crewman> CEO: Yes sir.
CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
CO: Q?
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
::types away commands and locks down the plasma injectors and the Anti Matter injectors and kills the flow to both::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Azhure: Not sure.  Q temporarily gave up his powers to experience emotions.
CSO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
:: enters Engineering, halts just behind Telarus :: CEO: Lieutenant... what is our status?
CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
:: Cannot stop from rolling her eyes::  CO: This is a rather young Q.  There may yet be consequences for all of us on that decision.
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
CSO: I had to kill our warp flight the core field is dropping low for some odd reason, there should be no excuse for the power loss and there is power loss, but I don't know where. I am having teams track it down now and get to the "bleed" fast.
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
*XO*: I had to kill warp flight sir, I need to see what's going on. Standby for status report.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Azhure: Agreed.    *Kraight*: Find out from Q what will trigger the return of his powers.
CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
:: frowns::  CO: I wonder why he felt he had to give up his powers to experience emotions.  He already has them.
CSO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
CEO: Has the containment field been re-established?
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
*CEO*: I'll do that. You might want to hurry.
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
*XO*: Aye sir.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
*Pangborn*: Report...
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
CSO: Stand by Commander.
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
Crewman: Get those portable field emitters up now.

ACTION: The ship comes to standstill but the core is still going hot.

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
*Sulek*: The warp core is about to go critical. Mr Telarus is dealing with the situation.
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
::trips:: <Crewman> CEO: Aye . Online now.
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
::watches as containment field comes back up to decent levels::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
*Pangborn*: Eject the core if necessary.
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
All: Bring emitters 1 and 2 offline Level 1 Diagnostics and get the problem fixed recalibrate the projectors and see where the power leak is coming from.
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
*Sulek*: Will do.
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
All: Let the portable ones do the job for now but hurry up.
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
*CEO*: Prepare to jettison the core if need be
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
CSO: Field temporarily restored. We are now working on fixing and tracking it now.
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
*XO*: Understood, situation is stable for now. No need at this time to jettison the core sir.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
*Kraight*: Under what circumstances will Q's powers return?
CSO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
:: moves to an auxiliary panel to monitor the injectors ::  CEO: All right. I will keep an eye on the injectors while you deal with the containment field.
Host Q says:
::: stops the CSO:: CSO: I think I've experienced enough emotion for now. All you have to do is think about being mortal and our roles will reverse
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
<Crewman> CEO: We found one of the power leaks, it looks like someone did some shoddy work we have a forensic engineering team looking at it now with the repair team.
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
*CEO*: Keep me informed, Mr Telarus.
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
CSO: I have two teams working on a discovered power leaks, looks like we have multiple power bleeds over the ship leading to the containment system.
CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
:: Quietly listens.::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::moves to Azhure:: Azhure: Could he be wanting to experience the ultimate mortal sensation...death and this desire could trigger the core.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Azhure: That is without his knowledge?
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
CSO: One team is checking for possible sabotage as is procedure for my department when a near catastrophe happens and the other is the repair team.
CSO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
*CO*: I can't say, sir. One moment.   Q: You've been mortal less than ten minutes, Do you truly think you've learned all there is to learn about emotion?
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
CSO: And Thank you for your help.
CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
CO: Death... interesting.  It could fit.
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
*XO*: Understood, Telarus out, sir.
Host Q says:
CSO: I think I have. I'm... I don't know how to describe it. The thought of dying doesn't appeal to me.
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
::gets a PADD from an Ensign with a report:: *XO*: There are multiple power bleeds in the containment field system, sir at this time I am declaring that we may have some level of sabotage, but it is not confirmed. I have forensic engineers and repair teams on it right now ETA on repairs is two hours maybe one if we don't run into problems.
CSO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
Q: It appeals to almost no one. But that's not the only emotion there is.
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
*XO*: Any idea what caused it?

ACTION: The actions of the CEO have rectified all issues with the core

CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
::remembers about his phaser and walks over to weapons storage panel and enters in his code to swap out his depleted one::

ACTION: The Armory fire is out as well

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
*Sulek*: Mr Telarus has used his magic and cured the situation Captain.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
*Pangborn* Good. My compliments to the CEO.
CSO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
CEO: Well done, Lieutenant.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Azhure: You needed to speak to me?
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
Sulek: Good to know he earns his pay isn't it?
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
::minor repairs and maintenance are done to the field emitters and some of the repairs to the power feed have been completed::
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
CSO: Thank you sir.
Host Q says:
CSO: Hurry up! :: Grabs the CSO and shakes him :: Let me be ME again!
CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
:: Turns to enter her quarters.  There she hands him a cup of tea.::  CO: It was not that important, more curious, but as you are here, take a breather.
CSO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
:: looks at Q coolly ::  Q: What is it you fear so much?
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::takes the cup and sits:: Azhure: Thank you.
Host Q says:
CSO: I'm not so sure... but after all these events I don't want to be mortal.
CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
:: Takes a seat on the couch.::  CO: The oddity is, according to the doctor, I am allergic to this Q.  I have never heard of such a thing before.
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
*XO*: Repairs are coming along I will have my report in an hour for you sir. My forensic teams are still conducting the investigation into the mishap.
CSO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
Q: I think perhaps that some additional time as a mortal would be quite illuminating for you. I think that you would gain some surprising insights into the affairs of mortals. And I think I am going to leave you like this for a while longer.
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
*CEO*: Good work Mr Telarus. It will be remembered.
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
*XO*: Thank you, sir. Doing my job.
Host Q says:
:: gets down on his knees :: CSO: I beg of you... switch us back
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::pauses in mid sip:: Azhure: Allergic...or something he's done to keep you away from him?  You did sense him when no others had.
CSO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
:: grins ::  Q: A mighty Q is begging a mortal for a favor? The universe is truly a strange place... I will, on one condition. You must pledge to return us to our last position in the Alpha Quadrant immediately upon regaining your powers.
CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
CO: If that were the case, he might find himself in trouble with the continuum.  One might say... that is not allowed.
CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
CO: But I am curious about this emotion issue.
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
::continues to monitor shipwide repair reports::
Host Q says:
CSO: :: Thinks hard :: VERY well. I will return you to your last position in the Alpha Quadrant..
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Azhure: Apparently a small minority of Q are pushing to give up the all powerful angle.  I do not believe that as young as he is, he has considered any consequences of his actions.
CSO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
Q: Thank you. I will take you at our word.   :: closes his eyes, concentrates ::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Azhure: He is, almost like a teen on a ....fun ride?
Host Q says:
ACTION; Commander Kraight feels a funny sensation in his head and Q feels whole again
CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
CO: Perhaps it is his youth and boredom that makes him think he has not explored emotions. Though where he got the idea as a mortal he would experience them better, is intriguing.  Almost makes one think someone conned him into the idea.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Azhure: That would be Kraight.
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
::guarded::
CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
:: Looks curious::  CO: Commander Kraight?
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Azhure: Kraight's knowledge of child psychology seems to be quite accurate in it's use.  I believe Q was about to throw a tantrum at the challenge.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Azhure: A Q tantrum is something I would prefer to avoid.
CSO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
:: shakes his head, as though coming out of a fog ::
Host Q says:
CSO: There, thank you!
CSO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
Q: You are welcome. And your half of the bargain?
Host Q says:
CSO: Now I will keep up my end of the bargain.
CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
:: chuckles::  CO: Kraight is full of surprises.  I know now whom to call for babysitting when I take that path.

ACTION: Q nods his head and the Quirinus is flung back to the alpha quadrant and to their exactly location near the Neutral Zone

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Azhure: You and the Commander are considering a family, now?
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
::triangulates there position::
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
::feels a jolt::
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
*Sulek*: Captain, we are back where we are supposed to be.
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
*Bridge*: What was that?
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
::runs a level 3 diagnostic::
CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
CO: It was a path that was shown to us in the future... one that has been slightly... altered a bit.  But when we are ready... we will know.  I am not sure though that either of us would like to raise a child on a starship.  We do hope one day to return home.
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
*CEO*: It was a return to our own space by the Q I'd imagine.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::feels a sudden change::* Pangborn*: Understood.  Send to Starfleet... We were visited by Q.
CSO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
*CO*: Captain, have we returned to the Alpha Quadrant?
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
*Kraight*: And you?
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
*Sulek*: Already dispatched
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
*XO*: Checking the systems just in case.
CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
:: Listening, comments::  CO: And with luck, we will have seen the last of this Q for awhile.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Azhure: Ahh...I understand.  ::rises:: Duty calls.  Now if you allergen will just go away. ::he gives her the Vulcan equivalent of a smirk::
CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
CO: Well, if he does... ::smiles::
Host Q says:
CSO: Thank you for the very good insight.. I think I'm ready to help make the decision. :: nods his head and disappears ::
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
::all systems come back within normal range minus systems being repaired::

ACTION: The CNS feels Q is now gone

CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
::After a moment nods::  CO: For now... he is gone.  And I for one still believe in hope.
