Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
Captains Log Stardate 10302.28 We were working on finding a way to get the Medici home when Q decided to show himself again. What he wants with us this time is beyond me, but hopefully he leaves quicker than he came. I can't stand when he is around, but I pay him no mind so in then hopes he gets bored and leaves. I only hope the crew doesn't fall for it

Host Q says:
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Begin "Lost... Kin?" 200th Special >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

XO_Farrel says:
::looks around at the others, confused.  One moment ago she was just sitting in the observation lounge.  Sees the Q entity then understands, feels uneasy::

CTO_Peters says:
::Seeing a being she has never seen before she reaches for her ever present phaser.  She moves to get between the stranger and the Captain.::

Host Q says:
::looks at the Senior crew::

OPS_Mades says:
::looks around and sighs... things seem to be going from bad to worse::

CSO_KTor says:
::Looks around in the whiteness, sees Q, and raises one eyebrow for a moment::

CIV_Lamberson says:
::looks at the suddenly appearing person mentally prepares::

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Afraid to turn around, lest her realization was true.::

Host Q says:
CMO : Come now.. Afraid already?

TO_Sky says:
::looks around puzzled...what the heck...nothing but white all around::

FCO_Teasley says:
::wonders what the heck Q is doing here::

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Refuses to acknowledge him, hoping he might just be a figment of her imagination and reading too much about Hali's book::

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
CTO: You can put the phaser away Mr. Peters

OPS_Mades says:
::sits down on the... well... the ground::

CTO_Peters says:
::Gets beside the Capt. and maybe an inch or two in front.::  CO:  But Sir,.....  We don't know who this person is..

XO_Farrel says:
Q: We aren't going to give you any satisfaction, no matter what you do to us.  You may as well just leave...

Host Q says:
::frowns:: All : I'm beginning to wonder if I made the right choice.. Come on.. No spiffy remarks? No questions?

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
CTO: I do, they brief us about his kind in Command School

Host Q says:
XO : I’m afraid you have no choice..

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Listens for Matt's voice::

TO_Sky says:
::moves closer to the group trying to figure out what the heck is going on::

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
Q: What do you want this time?

Host Q says:
All : You see.. You're my team... ::his uniform changes into a colorful team uniform, and so does all the crew's..::

CIV_Lamberson says:
::slowly moves around to the side::

CTO_Peters says:
CO:  Well that is good, but I'm not letting my guard down Sir.  With all due respect of course.

OPS_Mades says:
::looks down to see the change in clothing and wonders what the heck this is for::

CTO_Peters says:
::Looks down at her change of clothes.:: Self:  What the?!?!?!

FCO_Teasley says:
::sees his uniform change color::

XO_Farrel says:
::despite the outfit change, remains composed, waiting for Q to explain himself::

Host Q says:
All : All you need to do is... ::grins:: Well, I can't tell you any more.. See? Game rules...

CIV_Lamberson says:
::shakes head wondering what this joker is all about::

TO_Sky says:
::looks down:: Self: Great...this isn't my color!

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Worried as she doesn't see him and turns around::  Q:  Were is the CEO?

CSO_KTor says:
::Notices the change of uniforms and passes them off as another of Q's petty amusements::

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
Q: Your tricks are useless here

FCO_Teasley says:
Q: Game's over, get out

CTO_Peters says:
Q:  Maybe we don't want to play this game....  Your taste in fashion sucks by the way.

XO_Farrel says:
All: Whatever he does to us, don't give him a reaction.  That's what he wants...

OPS_Mades says:
::considers taking a nap until it is all over, but that might not make the Captain too happy::

Host Q says:
All : You won't remember being here in about 10 seconds... Just remember what I tried to teach you the last couple of times...

CTO_Peters says:
Self:  Teach us?

Host Q says:
XO : See? That isn't fair... I'll need to erase your minds of this encounter if the game is to be fair…

TO_Sky says:
Self: Teach us? I have never set eyes on this cretin before.

Host Q says:
All : So... Make my day, and win! ::grins::

OPS_Mades says:
Self:  What do you know, at least I won't have to remember this.

CIV_Lamberson says:
::limps away:: Self: No one has taught me anything since I got out of the Marines.

CTO_Peters says:
XO:  Can I shoot him?

XO_Farrel says:
CTO: I wish.  He's impervious to our technology.

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Game?  Fair?  Moves away from the group, to find Matt::

Host Q says:
ACTION : Q snaps his fingers and all is white again...

Host Q says:
ACTION : The entire crew forgets about the encounter with Q they just had

Host Q says:
ACTION : When they return to "consciousness, they each find themselves in different situations..

Host Q says:
ACTION : The CO opens his eyes to find himself under water, with no breathing apparatus. A glitter of sunlight can be seen in one direction, but that's about it.

Host Q says:
ACTION : The XO finds herself standing on a room, with a book in her hand. She feel strange and powerful... All around her things are exploding.. Two bodies lie on her side, dead. She can recognize them as the CMO and CEO of the Artemis

Host Q says:
ACTION : The TO finds herself in a dark void. All around, no one is seen.

Host Q says:
ACTION : The OPS Officer finds himself in the same situation as the TO

Host Q says:
ACTION : The Civilian finds himself with his foot on top of a claymore type mine. The setting is a jungle, and no one else is around.

Host Q says:
ACTION : The CMO stands alone on a church, looking over the coffins of her parent's laying side by side.

XO_Farrel says:
::Looks around the room, the Artemis bridge.  She feels as if this wave of uncontrollable energy is flying out of her.  She looks at the viewer, and causes it to explode.  She looks to the captain, and he flies across the bridge.::  Stop it!  No!  ::The bulkhead beneath her starts fragmenting sending sparks everywhere.  She collapses to the floor with her hands on her head:: Can't stop....make it stop.....

Host Q says:
ACTION : The FCO finds himself in a Court Martial hearing, with the testimonies of every member of the Artemis crew in his mind. All of them had said bad things about him, and no one seemed to have one kind word towards him.

Host Q says:
ACTION : The CSO finds himself in deep space again with no EVA suit... In the distance, he can see some kind of ship, with an open airlock

Host Q says:
ACTION : The CTO watches in horror as the body of her lifeless child lies on the bottom of a swimming pool.

OPS_Mades says:
::looks around, the hair on the back of the neck suddenly standing on end.  He strains his eyes, trying to make out any shape in the darkness.  Not being able to see anything, he calls out.::    Hello!?!?!

FCO_Teasley says:
::thinks "What did I do?"::

CSO_KTor says:
::Tries to finish his inward breath and finds himself unable to do so::

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
:: Ewan calms himself and begins to swim for the light ::

CIV_Lamberson says:
::hears the slight click as he steps looks down and stares in horror as sweat starts to bead::

CTO_Peters says:
::Seeing Alicia at the bottom of the pool she screams.  Her body shaking as she calls her daughter's name again and again.::

XO_Farrel says:
::writhing on the floor of the bridge, as she looks at the ceiling she causes the glass panels to shatter all over the bridge.:: No.... ::she closes her eyes to stop the destruction, but her mind can't stop thinking about the ship, and suddenly she can hear the groan of hull twisting, and the ship shaking beneath her.::  Uh.....

TO_Sky says:
::looks around feelings a cold grip on her whole body...nothing but blackness...looks for a light and can't find one:: Hello! ::hears her own words echo back at her::

OPS_Mades says:
:: there is no answer...  trepidation becomes fear.  Fear quickly becomes panic.  Christian starts running, where he doesn't know, maybe just away.::  HELLO!!

FCO_Teasley says:
::keep thinking, I've had problems with socializing with the crew but did I do that they're doing this to me::

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Looks at the coffin's, one tear after another falling.  She would miss them terribly, but this time, she was more prepared.  She had feared their loss, experienced what she thought was their loss, and come to terms with the fact that it was all part of the circle of life.  Her parents would not want to live forever...::

CIV_Lamberson says:
Self: Where is the rest of the squad? ::looks around the area but not spotting anyone::

TO_Sky says:
::turns in circles and then starts running still unable to see anything:: Hello! Please is anyone out there. ::hears her own words echoing back at her::

CSO_KTor says:
::Fighting fear, he holds his breath and starts meditating to conserve blood oxygen::

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Nor would they have wanted her to grieve for them, but to honor them by moving on.  She just wished she could have eased their fears about her.::

CTO_Peters says:
::Without thinking she jumps into the pool and as soon as she does she inhales some water and comes up sputtering and coughing.   Getting a tiny grip on her emotions she counts to three and begins to dive to the bottom.::

FCO_Teasley says:
::wants this to end now::

TO_Sky says:
::can feel the panic rising as she runs blindly in the darkness::

Host Q says:
ACTION : The CO's record for breath holding isn’t' that long.. After a few minutes, his head starts throbbing, and his lungs ache for air. The light does not seem to be getting any closer.

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
:: he holds his breath as he swims, fortunately for him he can hold his breath for a bit. Ewan just let's his mind take him to the reef where he used to snorkel ::

CIV_Lamberson says:
::looks to the ground looking for something heavy::

OPS_Mades says:
::a cold swear starts to cover him from head to toe, his legs tremble and betray him.  He falls heavily to the ground, his breath coming erratically now, almost sobbing::

XO_Farrel says:
Must...stop.... ::She hears voices on the bridge calling out hull breaches and casualties all over the ship, all caused by her.::  Take...control.... ::she sits up, shouting:: Computer, lock onto my signal and beam me into space as far away from the ship as possible!  NOW!

Host Q says:
ACTION : The accuser on the FCO's court martial goes up. "So, as everyone can see, even his own peers think that Cmdr. Teasley does not deserve to wear that uniform..."

CTO_Peters says:
::Closer and closer she gets to the bottom finally she is able to grab onto Alicia.  Holding Alicia's body close to her she breaks for the surface.::

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Wiping her eyes, she steps down from the platform and heads out of the 'church'.::

Host Q says:
ACTION : There is no reply to the XO's request.. Mainly because she already destroyed all the voice recognition devices on the bridge.

FCO_Teasley says:
::thinks to himself::

Host Q says:
ACTION : He turns to the FCO "So, do you have anything to say for yourself, Cmdr. Teasley?

TO_Sky says:
::feeling her breathing becoming labored she realizes she is crying and screaming out to no avail...stumbles and falls to the ground curling up in a ball trying to shake the feeling of completely aloneness::

OPS_Mades says:
::pulls up his legs close to his chest, rocking back and forth slightly, he calls out weakly::  Someone... please.... anyone

CTO_Peters says:
::Breaking the surface she quickly climbs out of the pool and lays Alicia's body on the flat surface...  Checking to make sure her airway is clear she begins CPR.  All the while she is calling her daughters name demanding she wake up.::

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
:: as he swims for the light, it seems to stay at a distance, as if it moves as he moves. Ewan begins to worry a bit ::

CIV_Lamberson says:
::spots a good size rock squats down being careful to keep weight on the pressure plate::

FCO_Teasley says:
Prosecutor: I don't know what you all think of me, but I know you’re wrong

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Walks slowly along the country pathway to her home, remembering the good things when they were all together, oh so many year ago.::

OPS_Mades says:
::as he continues to hyperventilate, he begins to get a bit light headed::

Host Q says:
ACTION : The Civilian can see the particulars of the mine he stepped on. It has an matter, anti-matter reaction chamber, and the trigger is set to detonate the bomb as soon as mere millimeters of the switch move, to either side (up or down)

CSO_KTor says:
::Feels around on his chest to see if he's wearing a communicator::

XO_Farrel says:
::Runs into the ready room, feeling sparks flying about her as she does so.  She seals the door behind her.  Faces what she is pretty sure is the glass window in the ready room and prepares to open her eyes.:: You must Hali...you're going to destroy the ship... ::she takes a deep breath, and opens her eyes, causing the window to break and herself to be sucked out into space...::

OPS_Mades says:
::faintly, in the back of his mind, memories play themselves out::

Host Q says:
ACTION : The CSO finds no communicator. His lungs are threatening to explode... The ship seems closer to him somehow

CTO_Peters says:
::As Alicia's lifeless eyes look up at her she keeps up the CPR... tears are streaming down her face.::  Alicia:  Come on baby you can do it.  Mommy needs you to wake up honey...

Host Q says:
<Prosecutor> FCO : Oh really? Name one thing you did that made a difference to this crew, or this ship!

CSO_KTor says:
::Closes his eyes and forces himself into a deep trance::

CIV_Lamberson says:
::stares at the mine starts to see the boarding party again and starts yelling for them to move back.... not realizing they are not really there::

Host Q says:
ACTION : The CTO's attempts, though desperate, are fruitless... Her child is truly dead.

OPS_Mades says:
::he remembers... he remembers a day back on Earth.  Christian was maybe only five.  His mother, Brody and he had gone on a trip to San Francisco, the first time Christian had been away from his hometown::

TO_Sky says:
::lying there curled up in a ball Bri begins seeing memories of happier times...home working with the horses...riding...feelings also begin coming through...feelings of being happy...feelings of being in love...feelings of being loved::

XO_Farrel says:
::As she is pulled away from the ship, she sees the red glow of explosions along the outer hull...she turns her head down to look at herself and feels as if every molecule in her body is tearing apart....:: At least, it will all be over soon.

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
:: he continues swimming and thinking of his snorkeling trip, but it begins to fade a bit as if he is beginning to panic a little ::

OPS_Mades says:
::they had gone to Golden Gate park... he and Brody were playing hide and seek...::

FCO_Teasley says:
Prosecutor: If I'm tried on how I socialize with the crew, than I'm guilty as charged. I may be quiet and keep to myself most of the time, but I'm just as good as anyone on the crew. If I wasn't they would've kicked me out a long time ago.

CTO_Peters says:
::as she sees her efforts are fruitless she breaks down and pulls her daughter to her.  Sitting down hard  she cries against her daughter's neck.::

CIV_Lamberson says:
::feels his weight start to shift quickly balances himself looks up to see the squad still there:: ALL: Get back that is an order! ::watches as they remain standing::

Host Q says:
ACTION : One small moment of distraction and the CO opens his mouth to breathe. He coughs instinctively, and looses the little air he had in his lungs

OPS_Mades says:
::Christian had hid... hid really good, he knew Brody wouldn't find him.  He had always been good at this game.::

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Finding her way back to her parents home, she steps inside to the familiar.  Another wave of tears threaten her, but she is aware that they are for her, and not for them.  They were happy... how better to go, then to die with a loved one?::

XO_Farrel says:
::Her body begins rippling like waves in water, she wants to let out  scream but there is nothing to breath, and then just as suddenly she explodes into a cloud of dust....poof::

CSO_KTor says:
::Concentrates all his energy on his mind to just try and reach the ship:: Anyone on the nearby ship: ~~~ I am in space behind your ship. Please beam me on board immediately! ~~~

OPS_Mades says:
::he waited there, it seemed like forever.  Surely Brody would give up soon, yell the magic phrase and Christian could come out triumphant... soon right?::

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
:: a bit more panic begins to creep in, but refuses to quit swimming for the light ::

CTO_Peters says:
::rocking back and forth::  Alicia:  I'm so sorry honey, mommy should have been paying attention.  This is all Mommy's fault!

CIV_Lamberson says:
::slowly stands back up and starts to weigh the options wonders why the squad hasn't moved:: Connely: Lt. get the squad back! ::watches as Connely just stares::

Host Q says:
ACTION : the CSO's mind threatens to go unconscious, as his blood seem to boil inside him

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Makes her way upstairs to her old room and lies down.::

OPS_Mades says:
::he waits and waits... no one comes... no one yells.  He doesn't know what to do.  Finally, deciding he had enough he crawls out of his hiding place and realizes he doesn't know where he is...::

CTO_Peters says:
Alicia:  Mommy is not going anywhere any more.  Nobody is going to hurt you again.  ::Squeezes her daughter tighter.::

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
:: continues to swim ::

CSO_KTor says:
::Fights to stay conscious::

Host Q says:
ACTION : The XO finds herself back on her home planet. The corpse of her brother and family lie at her feet, and the house she is on threatens to fall from lack of structural integrity

OPS_Mades says:
::looking around him, he searches for his mother or his brother, but they aren't to be found... there is no one there, not a single person.  The sun has started to go down and the shadows between the trees are growing deeper and darker.::

XO_Farrel says:
What?  How can I be here....  I was just on the Artemis?  ::looks over at her mother, which causes her head to explode:: Mommy!

Host Q says:
ACTION : Mades thinks he hears a soft murmur.. like his mother's voice, whispered

OPS_Mades says:
::Christian starts to run, looking for help... why was the park so empty... where was everyone...  he called out for his mother, but there wasn't an answer::

TO_Sky says:
::thinks about home again and riding in the canyon...finds herself alone there and lost in the canyon::

CSO_KTor says:
::Opens his eyes and glances at the ship to see how far away it is::

CTO_Peters says:
::Closes her eyes for one moment.  She gathers what little sanity she has left and stands lifting her daughter with her.  Carry Alicia into her bedroom she places the child onto her bed.  Gently laying her out as if she is sleeping.  Finding Alicia's favorite stuffed teddy she places it in the crook of her arm.::

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
:: he can't understand why or how he got into the water in the first place. He begins to panic just a bit more, as he is afraid to drown ::

Host Q says:
ACTION : The TO feels a breeze on her hair.  With it, there seems to be a gentle touch on her shoulder.

FCO_Teasley says:
::looks at the captain::  CO: Remember when you were facing a court martial, I was part of the council that defended you.  You thought you didn't have a chance, but I fought for you because I believed in you

Host Q says:
ACTION : The CO can't hold his breath. HE needs air. The light seems closer, but still far odd

TO_Sky says:
::looks around startled but sees no one...starts running trying to find her way out of the canyon...she is a small child again....lost from her family on an outing::

XO_Farrel says:
::She looks at her father, which causes him to fly out the window...and from what she can see he flies into a giant tree and disappears in an explosion of wood chunks...:: oops.... ::the roof of the house flies off into the sky::  ::sighs::  This can't be real...  I was just in space....

Host Q says:
ACTION : The CO on the Court Martial room seems to snicker... “I had to save myself. If I had depended on you, I’d have lost my ship.”

Host Q says:
ACTION : The CO passes out.

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Grabbing for her old stuffed doll, she lies do on her bed.

Host Q says:
ACTION : The CSO ditto.

CIV_Lamberson says:
Self: Ok Stephen eventually you’re going to have to do something....... What are your options? ::looks down at the mine looking for a top access panel::

OPS_Mades says:
::he hears something... a voice, a whisper...  was it a dream?::

CTO_Peters says:
::She goes to the closet and opens it.  Shifting through the child’s clothes she finds the favorite pink dress.::  Alicia:  Honey, your pink dress the one with the teddy bears on it.  I think we should dress you in that, along with your black shoes....  ::She goes back to the bed and places the clothing on it.::

CSO_KTor says:
::His eyes close as he feels himself losing control over his own mind and body::

Host Q says:
ACTION : The XO watches as the planet behind her disappears, and nothing is left but space and debris below her

CSO_KTor says:
::He falls unconscious::

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
:: Ewan loses his fight, he passes out and begins to descend ::

FCO_Teasley says:
CO: You said you didn't feel like you were fit to command the Artemis, but I knew you were the one that earned the spot of captain::

XO_Farrel says:
::gasp!:: I destroyed...Betazed!  ::Starts crying::  But it can't be real...can't be real!

Host Q says:
ACTION : The CIV hears a "pppeeeeeepp" coming from the mine

OPS_Mades says:
::his mind so confused, he's not sure if the voice is from the memory or here, in this place.  It was familiar though... as if it were...::  Mother??

OPS_Mades says:
::he opens his mind, hoping to hear her, hoping to sense her, hoping to not be alone anymore::

TO_Sky says:
::stops and looks around through her tears:: Mother! Father! Anyone please I am alone and scared!

XO_Farrel says:
::as she stares at the moon it two disintegrates:: This is not real!

CTO_Peters says:
::She picks up the hair brush from the dresser and goes back to the bed.  Her sister Stephanie stands in the doorway.::  CTO........  ::Scenery changes and she is facing Q again.::

CIV_Lamberson says:
::looks in horror at the mine does the only option left and dives::

Host Q says:
ACTION : Then... Everyone is back in the white void. Q is there, grinning, and very, very happy. The crew remembers what they have just been through

CSO_KTor says:
::Lying on the ground, he gradually returns to his own mind, opens his eyes, and sits up::

Host Q says:
All : Hah!!!! I knew it...

CSO_KTor says:
::Shaking his head a bit, he stands up from the ground::

Host Q says:
All : We WON!!!!

CTO_Peters says:
::She looks at Q and lunges at him.:: Q:  How dare you use my daughter!?!?!?!

XO_Farrel says:
This is not....RE- ::Stops herself, seeing she is back with the others and the Q:: -al...

TO_Sky says:
::sees the area go brighter and looks around wiping the tears from her face:: Self: What in the...

Host Q says:
ACTION : In the distance, they see another group of people... Dressing in different colors.

FCO_Teasley says:
Q: You turned my own friends against me

CIV_Lamberson says:
::turns looking at Q face assuming non expression::

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
:: he awakens :: Q: What are you still doing on my ship!?!

Host Q says:
ACTION : As the crew's uniforms turn back to their normal self, so do all of the other group of people except for one.

OPS_Mades says:
::the white light hurts his eyes, he looks around and sees the crew... his emotions reel and he stands::  Q: You... you jerk!  You thoughtless, coldhearted, unfeeling, shadow of a person.

CTO_Peters says:
::Pummels Q.::

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
OPS: Cool yourself Mr. Mades. We don't want to egg him on

CSO_KTor says:
Q: I would very much like to know the specifics of the so-called "game" we were involved in.

Host Q says:
::yawns as the CTO's punches hit mid air like they hit a wall of concrete::

Host Q says:
All : Come now.. We should celebrate.

TO_Sky says:
::snaps her head around looking at Mades then back at Q:: How dare you?

FCO_Teasley says:
Q: You've got a lot of nerve, preying on my thoughts like that

Host Q says:
CSO : They're called voretcha mind games..

XO_Farrel says:
::After destroying a planet, feels crazed.  She lets out a blood cuddling scream and flies onto Q strangling him::

OPS_Mades says:
::barely hears the CO, his fury unlike anything he has ever felt before::

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
All: Calm yourselves, don't give him the satisfaction

CIV_Lamberson says:
::steps up to Zoe and places a hand on each shoulder:: CTO: Zoe this won't help. ::said quietly while gently pulling back::

Host Q says:
ACTION : Q stands untouched, as the rest of the crew huddle to reach him::

CSO_KTor says:
Q: Voretcha? I am not familiar with that term.

CTO_Peters says:
CO:  But Sir, he killed my daughter.... ::Pulls out her phaser and fires.::  CIV:  He used a child Stephen...  ::Tries not to cry.::

Host Q says:
CSO : You wouldn't... You see them? ::points to the other group:: That's your opponents…

CSO_KTor says:
Q: Yes...

TO_Sky says:
::starts backing up watching the others just wanting to find a way out of this::

Host Q says:
ACTION : Again, the phaser hits in mid air before he hits Q.

CSO_KTor says:
::Flinches as the phaser goes past his head::

XO_Farrel says:
::Sighs pathetically as her neck hold has no effect, she collapses to his feet motionless::

Host Q says:
All : Most of them went crazy when they where presented with their fears...

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
CTO: He didn't do anything ALL: Can't you see, he used your darkest fears against you?

CIV_Lamberson says:
::quickly reaches out and grabs the phaser:: CTO: This is what he wants. ::lifts head and stares directly at Q::

Host Q says:
::chuckles:: All : You actually managed to control them... I'm so proud of you!!

OPS_Mades says:
::the Captain's words don't calm him down, but suddenly he notices the pain of the others, that he isn't alone in that.. he goes to stand by his Captain's side, under control for now, but never forgetting what happened.::

CSO_KTor says:
Q: I presume their sanity has been restored following this... "contest"

Host Q says:
CSO : Why, of course..

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Just stares at Q::

CTO_Peters says:
::Falls hard to the ground.::  All:  What kind of sick individual gets their kicks out of other peoples fears?

Host Q says:
All : Come now... I've made better persons of you all... Now that you know how to control your fears, you can boldly explore with no fear in your minds..

OPS_Mades says:
CTO: He's not a person... he's just a thing.  Not worth our anger, not worth anything.

CIV_Lamberson says:
Q: Remember one thing: eventually you will come a cross a race that you can't use your power against. ::said through clinched teeth::

CTO_Peters says:
::Climbs back to her feet.:: Q:  You don't get it do you...  Our fears are part of what we are....

XO_Farrel says:
::Starts giggling to herself from the floor as Q finishes that last sentence::

CIV_Lamberson says:
::looks around for Bri:: TO: Bri?

Host Q says:
CIV : Perhaps... But for now, I won the bet... And HE ::points to the person in the other group which isn't in StarFleet uniform:: lost..

TO_Sky says:
::hears her name and just looks around without saying anything::

CTO_Peters says:
OPS:  Christian, I suppose you’re right.  An animal has better sense then this piece of garbage.

Host Q says:
ACTION : The other group disappears, and the other Q comes over "Well, Q.. You won..."

Host Q says:
Q : Yes... As always...

XO_Farrel says:
::Lying at his feet, ties Q's shoe laces together, before she passes out::

Host Q says:
<Other Q> Q : But.. Your crew seemed.. Prepared.. Like they knew this was coming.... ::eyes him closely::

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
Q: You can't go around abducting Star Fleet personnel and use them for your own personal enjoyment!

Host Q says:
ACTION : Q's shoes change to another in no time. Laced right.

CIV_Lamberson says:
::stares at both beings with Contempt::

OPS_Mades says:
::has a thought:: Other Q: Well, it isn't like he hasn't done this to us before.  It wasn't anything new.

Host Q says:
CO : Oh relax Captain... Nothing changed.. You just had a glimpse of what could be...

Host Q says:
<turns to Mades> OPS : Oh really?

CSO_KTor says:
Self: Another species with no sense of ethics...

OPS_Mades says:
::nods::

Host Q says:
Other Q : Nonsense... They had no idea what was coming…  You saw me erase their minds of their being here before the game started.

Host Q says:
<Other Q> All : Had you all seen him before? Did you know what was happening?

OPS_Mades says:
Other Q: He came to our ship a few months ago... subjected us to our worst fears... and left.   He must have been training us for this.

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
Q: What could be, is you and the other getting off my ship

TO_Sky says:
::wonders when this nonsense is going to end and what he gained by making her live through her worst fears::

CSO_KTor says:
Other Q: Yes, certainly. As Ensign Mades said, but I believe it occurred twice.

Host Q says:
::almost shouts:: All : No... The game is over.  I won.. ::snaps his fingers::

CIV_Lamberson says:
::ignores the two turns limping spots Bri makes way over to her:: TO: Bri are you ok?

Host Q says:
ACTION : The other Q moves his hands

Host Q says:
<Other Q> Q : Not so fast, Q

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
Q: But you know Q, I am glad that I followed your instructions ::smiles::

OPS_Mades says:
::wonders what a Q fears most::

TO_Sky says:
::looks over at the CIV her arms hugging her body:: CIV: I'm...  I'm fine.

Host Q says:
<Other Q> ::frowns:: Q : Why you sneaky little... I just saw their minds... You DID coach them!!!

CTO_Peters says:
Q:  You know as penance for cheating maybe Q should experience his worst fears...  ::Smiles at the thought.::

CIV_Lamberson says:
::reaches out placing hand on Bri's shoulder:: TO: If you need to talk.... ::leaves the rest unsaid::

Host Q says:
Q : NO! I merely... Well, I wanted to know if they would be right for the game... I had to test them…

TO_Sky says:
::aloud:: How could he teach me I have never set eyes on him before!

OPS_Mades says:
::his normal devilish smile returns finally::  Other Q: I think Zoe has a good point there.  What else would be more fitting?

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
Q: yes Q, what is YOUR darkest fear? :: laughs::

CSO_KTor says:
All: I believe the term "amoebae" comes to mind...

OPS_Mades says:
CSO:  I was thinking laboratory rat myself.

FCO_Teasley says:
CO: Maybe it's becoming mortal like the rest of us

Host Q says:
<Other Q> ::eyes Q:: Q : The Continuum will hear of this... You know how they hate cheaters...

TO_Sky says:
::feels the hand on her shoulder and looks around:: CIV: There is no need in bothering yourself with me Mr. Lamberson... I am... I'm fine.

CTO_Peters says:
All:  How about Human?

OPS_Mades says:
CTO:  Too good for him.

CTO_Peters says:
OPS:  Maybe, but we can shoot him then.

Host Q says:
ACTION : The crew see a frightened look on Q's face, and then they are back on the Artemis where they were before they got whisked away.

OPS_Mades says:
::looking around at the familiar surrounding of the Artemis, he somehow feels quite satisfied.  Takes his seat, still smiling::

TO_Sky says:
::looks around finding herself outside the security office again...  turns and walks back in sitting heavily in her chair just staring::

CIV_Lamberson says:
::stops looking around:: Self: What in....

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
:: finally, a place that he recognizes::

CIV_Lamberson says:
::continues to walk down the corridor::

CSO_KTor says:
::Finds himself on the rear section of the bridge, and sits down at Science 1::

CTO_Peters says:
::Back at TAC 1, she hits her commbadge and contacts Stephanie to make sure Alicia is alright.::

OPS_Mades says:
Aloud:  You know, maybe that was worth it.

FCO_Teasley says:
::sees himself on the bridge:: All: What just happened?

XO_Farrel says:
::wakes up sitting in the observation lounge and assumes it was all a dream and yawns::
