"You're right, the Continuum does not have the cleanest track record, nor do I, or my father. But for everything negative you can say about the Q, there is also a positive. Even if I have a full understanding of everything going on, it would be unwise to devulge everything to you. I could influence the outcome by doing so. Whether or not you choose to listen to me, is up to you. I wasn't always crazy about humans, it wasn't until I became one, that I had any respect for any of you. Speaking of which, I think I will pay my Aunt Kathy a visit. I like to pop in from time to time, and let her know I'm alright. I think you will all be fine without me."

:: I can't believe what I've heard, these Q are a very strange group of beings, power beyond imagine one moment, then 'just human' the next, I wonder if or when he'll be back. :: "Ma'am, the Romulan ship has now dropped it's clock, well either that or the damage to the ship has shut it down, they have sustained heavy damage to their port nacelle, several hull breaches being contained by force fields and power fluctuations though out the ship, there is some interference affecting my sensors." "Do you think Q will be back, are we being led into some kind of trap?"

:: A message coming in from the Romulan ship:: “Captain Hurt I am Dr D'mora Tal'Aura of the Romulan science vessel - Talvoth, part of the Romulan Ministry of Science I request your assistance and....asylum. This ship is heavily damaged, I insist you beam me and my effects aboard quickly, their locations are being sent now. The Talvoth will then carry on, hopefully drawing away anything following us.” :: Captain makes a few commands and in a matter of seconds I am standing on the bridge of the U.S.S. Valdemar:: :: I look around; take out a communicator open it:: “Centurion Tal'Aura to Talvoth, I am aboard. Has all my equipment been transferred? Good, you know you’re mission, execute it, Tal’Aura out.” ::I walk `till I am in front of the Captain:: “Captain, disengage you’re tractor beam it’s imperative that ship is as far away from us as possible before it explodes” ::I see the skepticism on the captains face and the disgust of the crew at how I seem to be waving away the lives of everyone on that ship so easily:: “Captain, more is at stake here than the lives of 30 or so Tal Shiar operatives” ::I know that will make the Captain listen, that Tal Shiar has that effect, the tractor beam is released, I turn to the screen to watch my ship limp off into the distance…I turn back to the captain:: “I imagine you have a question or two for me, I’m ready when you are.”

::Outwardly, it appears that I am in shock or some sort of fugue. Inwardly, I am listening to the voice of Spock as he pleads with me to listen to this Romulan. Spock implores me to trust him, in my mind. After a moment, I come out of my fugue.::
"Alright, Centurion, please give me a moment to give orders to my crew."
"Mr. Sharpe, please set a course away from here as quickly as possible, and engage. And, as to the other question, lets not worry about that which appears to have ceased to be a problem, for now."
::Turning back towards the Centurion, I wave my hand towards the Ready Room doors::
"Centurion, will you please join me in my Ready Room?"
::I look around the bridge to be sure Q Riley is not apparent. I have a feeling he would only serve to create further distrust.

“Of course I’ll join you in your ready room, you will have to point the way as I didn’t get the opportunity to study you’re ships layouts before beaming over, we were in a bit of a hurry.” :: I pause and have another quick look around the bridge ::
“You do seem a little short on bridge officers, anything the matter? Or do you have some new technologies you’ve managed to keep from out operatives, ha ha. Oh and do call me Dr Tal'Aura, my military rank is more out of necessity than desire” :: I say as I lead the way off the bridge ::

::As I look up the information on Enterprise, I have a funny feeling about this Captain Hurt. Something just doesn't seem right. I know I did not hear the swoosh of her Ready Room door.. the information comes up on my console::
"The Enterprise was testing the refit, however, there was a Medical crisis on Altair 4, and they were called there to help. Apparently, Dr. Beverly Crusher had been there in the past, assisting them."
::I look carefully over my shoulder to be sure no one was watching me, then sent a covert text message via the new console to console text. The old one had worked fine when Captain Picard had used it to alert Dianna Troi of his strategy during a battle, but he had made note of some interface improvements which were implemented during our last upgrade.::

"Captain, there seems to be something interfering with getting a com channel to the Enterprise, it could be the an effect from the telepathic disturbance, I will need a few moments to locate it. Do you want me to change course to Altair 4, its about 5 parsecs past Earth, or stay on course?"

"Hold our course Mr. Sharpe."
::I turn and walk towards Ensign Brickly, I stop about a foot away from him, and in a low tone tell him::
"We have a Priority One Emergency on our hands. It appears that Starfleet May be under attack from an Alien Threat. It has been brought to my attention, that several positions in Starfleet may have already been comprimised. Not knowing how far up the ladder this may go, I think it wise to call in reinforcements, and stick with people we know we can trust."
"So far, the only ones aware of the situation, are us, and Admiral Catherine Janeway. She informed me, that her and her crew had stumbled onto this situation, while still in the Delta Quadrant. She thought that she had resloved this matter with Species 8472, but now it seems, that is not the case."
"Are they simply here gathering information on us, if so, for what purpose? Until I know for sure, I'm not going to take any chances. I want you to go to Deck 12, and select two people to help you start working on High-yield warheads armed with modified nanoprobes, off the specs from Voyager. If we encounter any bio-ships, I want to be prepared to defend this ship and crew. You have your orders Ensign."

::looking confused:
"I'll do my best sir, but I am, after all, just a Com officer. Also, reporting on the Enterprise, She is not at Altair 4. During test maneuvers, some problems were found, so they put in at Starbase DS9 to correct the situation. It wasn't the closest one to their position, but the Engineering Chief there, O'Brien, was known to Captain Picard and had worked on Enterprise in the past."
::I still wasn't sure what was happening. Clearly the Q had either moved the Captain from the Ready Room or created a second Captain somehow...I couldn't be sure this Captain was our real Captain anyways, since our Captain didn't tend to appear out of nowhere. I knew I had not heard the Ready Room open, and the Romulan had not come out. Under these circumstances Starfleet Protocal was very clear, and I knew what I had to do.::

::I get an odd sensation in my gut, and wonder what the Captain and Brickly are talking about, I head something about DS9, will we go there I wonder, I’ve always wanted to see the worm hole. Bring in my self back to the hear and now, I can’t get over a strange feeling coming from Brickly, I ask myself if I should see if he’s ok, but no, he is a Starfleet officer after all, if anything was wrong he’d report it to the Captain.::

::The shock of the weapons blast didn’t last long, I thank Star Fleet training for that, seeing the Captain change into Q, now that was a surprise! I struggle with the unresponsive controls for a moment, realising there is no one giving any orders I execute evasive pattern delta to hopefully buy some time for the real captain to get to the bridge or to get the ship into formation with the three new star ships that seem to have appeared from nowhere.::

"No time for howdy's and handshakes now, I'd appreciate a little help, then I can explain everything. We're using the Delta Four attack, with a Grenske Evasion Manuever, sound ok?"
::The men all agree, and the three ships move off. They place themselves so that they form a square with the Valdemar, four corners, in preparation for the Delta Four attack. The Valdemar engines are brought to low power, simulating a power loss to fool the enemy. Slowly drifting Z ward completes the debilitated effect::

:: Standing to the side of the bridge level with the Captains chair I have a good view of the bridge and what’s happening:: “It does seem like Q is having some ‘fun’, I would be interested in having a look at your sensor logs once this battle is over. When the Reman’s began turning on us their ships would seemingly appear out of nowhere. We suspected they were getting some help. It would be fascinating to see if there is a small variation in their power sauce.”
:: I watch as the Federation ships prepare their trap ::
“It’s a shame in a way Q brought some help, from a scientist point of view it would have been interesting to have seen a one on one battle, of course being on one of the ships would be a bit bumpy.”

:: I shake my head as the ‘buzzing’ sound after Q’s last trick starts to fade, I’m sure I’m picking up on something but every time I get close to figuring out what it is something ‘interesting’ seems to happen and I have to concentrate else where ::
“Captain, the other ships are in position, Valdemar has started her drift, I’m not sure how bright the Remans or they think their attack did more damage but I think they are going for it, they did back off when the other Starships appeared. Yes, they are at full impulse heading directly for us, they must know they can’t defeat all these starships…they could be on a suicide run to even the odds before those Bio ships arrive.”
