When a group of players click and the posts keep roling in, that's what GM dreams are made of.

Congratulations!


Thank you, they'll be a very happy couple.
I lied again.

@Sep had Picard engage with Sam.

Everything was foreign to Hoshi Sato as she sat at the comms station on the twenty-fifth-century vessel. It was a far cry from the NX-01. This ship was not in need of a translator, she couldn't understand why of all members of Starfleet the extra-dimensional being that had allegedly brought them all together would have chosen her. Universal translators were built into every combadge, and the ship itself was capable of deciphering any xenolinguistic anomaly they might have come up against, so Hoshi was at a loss as to why she had been chosen.

As Ortegas flew the vessel into formation with the rest of the foreign vessels, the comms station suddenly lit up like a Federation Day celebration. Pressing the badge bearing the Federation insignia that was pinned to the unfamiliar uniform, the Ensign mimicked what she had seen the Captain and others who were more familiar with this technology do.

"Captain, I don't mean to interrupt but we're being hailed on multiple frequencies."


Looking around the room, Picard recognized several of the faces before him, though many were either older or younger than he last remembered seeing them. He had already been acquainted with Ambassador Spock and Commander Seven of Nine, but they had quickly discovered that the Stargazer also held a younger Geordi LaForge, fresh off of his promotion to Chief Engineer aboard the Enterprise-D and a recently returned from the Delta Quadrant Commander Tuvok who had also been captured by Q along with numerous lower deck crew persons.

Surveying the assembled senior officers one more time, Picard straightened his uniform with a tug before taking a seat at the head of the table and explaining his encounter with Q before opening the floor to the crew persons.

"I believe it would be best if we went over what we know thus far about our situation." Picard started, "The entity known as Q has standard us in a galaxy, possibly even a reality, very far from our own. This vessel, I believe was chosen due to its legacy and association with me."

"Would it not have made more sense to choose the Enterprise then?" LaForge asked, "If Q could fabricate a starship, or pluck one from another time, why not the Enterprise-D, or even your original command."

"I believe Q chose this vessel to aid in some sort of situation." Picard replied, "This vessel is equipped with technologies I have never seen before, Seven, this vessel is your current post, correct? Do you have any insight into why Q might have seen it appropriate to put us on this vessel?"

"The Sagan-Class is the first vessel Starfleet built using technology from the Relic, a derelict Borg Cube. However, this particular iteration appears to be modified further. I've noticed that in addition to the ablative hull, there are ablative generators. Ablative generators were a technology employed on Voyager but ultimately abandoned by Starfleet as the Borg assimilated them. I'm not sure why they would be equipped on this vessel."

"Logic would dictate that whatever foe Q has put us up against, perhaps isn't quite as adept at getting around our defenses." Spock suggested.

"I have noticed that the Stargazer is also equipped with a cloaking device and a full payload."

Picard nodded to Worf, before looking around the room.

"Any other specialized systems we should be aware of?"

"Uh actually," A blonde man at the far end of the table interjected, "Hi, Commander Paul Stamets. It would seem your 'Q' has equipped this vessel with a compact version of my Displacement Activated Spore Hub Drive."

Blank stares came from the staff as they looked toward Stamets.

"It's a classified form of instantaneous travel used during the Klingon War."

"Captain, if I may," Spock interjected turning towards Picard. "I served with Commander Stamets briefly. He is telling the truth. His fate and the technology he's describing were classified and buried by Starfleet in the mid-twenty-third-century."

"Captain, I don't mean to interrupt but we're being hailed on multiple frequencies."

"It would seem that our presence here has been noticed. Keep me updated of any further developments. Dismissed," Picard ordered as the senior officers stood and exited back onto the bridge.

"On-Screen, Ensign." Picard commanded returning to the central command chair. There was a brief pause, as Picard turned towards the communications officer only for Hoshi to shake her head before answering.

"Audio only, Captain. One was also sent via a form of text communication."

"How quaintly archaic." Picard mused, "Very well, audio only then, Ensign."

"Playing the message now, Captain."

"This is General Sinnali of the CIS Malevolence II, contacting unknown vessel. Your arrival was unscheduled. Please declare your origination and intent."

Clearly, Q had dropped the Stargazer into an assembly of sorts and this vessel had identified them as out of place. Picard stood still, listening to the tone and weight of each word. There was a definite authority in the woman's words. She was not used to being challenged, nor did she like being caught off guard. Picard could hardly blame her in what appeared to be a tense military situation. It didn't take a keen eye to notice the mish-mash of vessels orbiting the planet below. While there was a clear fleet, there were also several distinguished outliers, this 'CIS Malevolence II' being one of them.

"We also received this from the larger of the two vessels. Putting it on screen." Hoshi stated, bringing Picard's attention back to the bridge of the Stargazer. Moving her hands across the console before her, the Ensign transferred the message onto the view screen.

>TO UNK VESSEL
>SHIPMASTER'S ORDERS: MAINTAIN DISTANCE FROM THE ASSAULT CARRIER "FIRES OF ANTIQUITY"
>SHIPMASTER'S ORDERS: PROVIDE IDENTIFICATION AT ONCE
>IDENTIFICATION AND COMMUNICATION PATTERNS ATTACHED

There was something distinctly alien about the 'Fires of Antiquity'. It reminded the captain of the first time he stared down a Borg Cube.

"Mr. Worf take us to Red Alert. Shields to maximum." Picard ordered, "Lieutenant Ortegas, full reverse. I want some distance between us and those ships." Stepping across the bridge, Picard approached Commander Data all the while keeping an eye on the view screen towards the pair of massive ships.

"Commander, I want a full sweep of both of those ships. Get me everything you can on their weapons, shields and any other relevant systems. I want to know what we're up against."

"Captain, there's another hail, there's something more familiar about this one." Hoshi stated, speaking up as Picard nodded for her to put it through.

"Unidentified vessel, this is Colonel Carter of the U.S.S. George Hammond. Our scans indicate you're not native to this universe however, we weren't expecting you. Do you require any assistance?"

"Lieutenant Ortegas, continue to put some distance between us and the fleet formation, the minute their weapons systems come online, I want you to go to warp." Picard ordered before motioning towards Seven and Spock to join him at the command chair.

"Ensign, open a channel to the U.S.S. George Hammond." Picard requested as Hoshi nodded to let him know the channel was open. "This is Captain Jean-Luc Picard of the Federation Starship Stargazer. We were stranded here by an extra-dimensional being known as Q. Are you the commanding officer here, Colonel?"

I lied.

My post is now most likely coming Thursday evening.
So Maul either isn't a thing or Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon just used Force Sprint to merc his ass the moment those energy barriers opened.


Or Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon switched places.
I can't wait to have to fight Reaper Replicators...

No you're not you're gifted


I know that just means slow.
So my plan going forward, once we're done with this little prologue. Is to group the faster posters together and the slower posters together, and we'll come together when occasions require.

If you have a preference on ships you'd like paired with as you'd find it interesting feel free to PM me (people may find doing it publicly awkward). He main reason I am going to do fast and slow posters so those of us who are slow don't feel left behind/struggle to keep up.


Hi, I'm slow.
Working through my next post over the day, hopefully get a reply up.

So if anyone else wants to shoot the Stargazer a passive-aggressive hail, now is your chance lol
