So Starfleet decided to send one problem to fix another...
Don't think they expected this outcome though...
Oh well...
You remember Suzy from way back?
Yeah... I planned this out for the long term
And yes, figuring out the lens flare was a pain

???: NOW I CAN'T HAVE YOU LEAVING SO SOON, SO I HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF THE OTHER ONE FIRST. YOU, COME WITH ME. YOU CAN LURE HER OUT FOR ME
Paris: What the hell was that?
R’Shee: It came up through the floor
T’pranng: It went towards the pod
Tru: Gah
R’Shee: What?
Tru: Panic. Phenomenal amount of panic
Lorrie: I know this type of fear
R’Shee: Siobhan...
T’pranng: It said it didn't want us to leave
Heath: Oh prophets, come on!
Paris: How did that get onboard?
Heath: Worry about that later, focus on how do we deal with it.
R’Shee: We don't have any weapons or equipment
Lorrie: Tru always has something on her
Tru: They wouldn't let me bring anything into Starfleet HQ
Paris: Now she tells us
Tru: Hey, I wasn't expecting this. You know how naked I feel without them?
*screaming*
R’Shee: What is it doing to her?
T’pranng: Ma'am
Heath: What?
T’pranng: That was not Siobhan's voice
Heath: What?
T’pranng: Nor was it Naynta’s. They were not the ones screaming
Siobhan: You think that was funny?
???:PLEASE STOP!
Siobhan: You think tricking me into coming out and then scaring me like that WAS FUNNY?
???:I'M SORRY!
Heath: I....
???:PLEASE! MAKE HER STOP!
Heath: I…
???:I'M BEGGING YOU! I'LL DO WHATEVER YOU WANT! PLEASE! MAKE HER STOP!
Lorrie: Tru, are you feeling sorry for this thing?
Tru: I have reasons.
Naynta: I'm fine. Thanks for asking
???:PLEASE!
Heath: Alright Siobhan, let her go
???:How do you deal with these things being so sensitive?
Heath: We just do. Now who are you and why are you here?
???:I assure you I am not here by choice
Heath: Explain
???:This is my punishment.
R’Shee: Why
???:They said I didn't respect the lesser races so they imprisoned me within the confines of this vessel so I could learn to appreciate them
T’pranng: Lesser races?
???:You know. You lot.
Heath: I see
T’pranng: And how long have you been here?
???: since they began building this thing
Tru: And instead of learning, you tormented them
???:I had to keep myself entertained. I've been so bored since they all finished and left. I mean some came by yesterday but didn't come inside so I couldn't play with them
R’Shee: You couldn't bother them?
???:Like I said, I can't leave the interior
Tru: But you're went in the pod.
???:While attached, it counts as part of the ship. Had I known that she was in here...
T’pranng: You have not identified what race you belong to
???:I thought it would be obvious to even your feeble minds
Heath: Listen you...
*flash*
Heath: Prophets above...
T’pranng: Captain, she is a Q
Q: Of course I am. Who else could do something like this?
R’Shee: The Q put you here to learn about us?
Q: Do you always repeat everything you hear?
Paris: Do you know what this means?
Q: Oh, enlighten me tiny one
Paris: We have a captive Q.
Q: I am not your or anyone's captive
Paris: Tell me, if they were to strip this ship down to a two-meter square box would you still be trapped inside?
Q: I...
Paris: I thought so.
T’pranng: After all the problems your race has caused, Starfleet would love to get their hands on you
Q: I see how it is. I have a little fun and you're going to lock me in a cage like some lab animal. The Continuum won't like that.
T’pranng: Unlikely. Given that they confined you here, they had to be aware that your discovery was an option... No, an inevitability.
Q: Are you saying they abandoned me?
T’pranng: Your words, not mine
Heath: You know what I think?
R’Shee: What ma'am
Heath: I think we were set up
R’Shee: What
Heath: This ship. They gave us this ship knowing something was onboard causing problems. They wanted us to clean it up and fix their problem.
Tru: When you put it that way...
R’Shee: Once again, we get screwed over
Tru: So, what do we do?
Heath: You
Q: Me?
Heath: You don't want to be experimented on, do you
Q: Who would?
Heath: Fine. I won't turn you in...
All: What?
Heath: On one condition
Q: What's that?
Heath: That you are going to join my crew and obey my orders.
Q: What?
R’Shee: Technically, you already agreed to do so
Q: I just said That to get her to let go
Heath: So, if you're not going to obey, I should let her go back to squeezing....
Q: No. No. No. Keep her away! I'll obey! I promise! I'll obey!
Heath: Good. Because if you do, I will hide you from prying eyes.
Q: You would do that?
R’Shee: She's done it before
Q: Why
Heath: Because I don't like being used and no sentient lifeform deserves to be experimented on.
Q:...
Heath: What
Q: There's a phrase I was told that you're supposed to say at times like this
R’Shee: Oh? What's that
Q: Thank you
Naynta: So, she dropped me on my butt, and now we're welcoming her onboard?
Aunlel: What's the problem? You have enough padding there.
Naynta: Next time, you're leaving sickbay with your head on backwards
Paris: So, we have the power of the Q at our disposal
Q: Not really
Paris: What do you mean
Q: They severely limited what I can do. All I can do is change my appearance and phase through nonliving material
Tru: So that’s why you couldn’t get away from her
Lorrie: Why didn’t you change in to a different shape?
Q: I’d like to see how rational you are when your breasts are getting crushed
T’pranng: Point taken
Paris: So, no reality warping
Q: No. But I still have the Q intelligence. I know more about what's out there than you’ll ever know.
R’Shee: I see she still has the Q ego as well
Aunlel: Come on. Get you podgy butt up
Naynta: Seriously, hate you
Heath: One last thing, what do we call you?
Q: I am Q.
Heath: I know, but we can't call you that. It would give the whole "hiding who you are" thing away
Q: Oh… Right...
Tru: So, she needs a name
Paris: What was the name of that stuck up annoying girl at the Academy?
Naynta: Lorrie
Lorrie: Haha, very funny.
Heath: How about Suzy?
T’pranng: Suzy?
Tru: I like it
Q: Do I get an opinion?
R’Shee: Technically
Q: It... Will do...
Heath: Then welcome aboard ensign Suzy D'Que
Suzy: D'Que?
Paris: Suzy...D...Que...Cute
Suzy: I suppose you think you're funny
Heath: The crew thinks so
Suzy: They work for you. They don’t have a choice
I fear for their ankles in those boots.
