OOC: In the interests of having something interesting … assume everyone pertinent is on the bridge … this is a little later in the timeline

As the ship sped toward its destination sensors picked up an object ahead … “Uhhh, Captain, either Becky is playing with the sensor AI again or we have an object ahead … Ten life forms … Nine of them .. Cervidae family, uh, reindeer. Single craft and single life form …”

“Let me guess, “Flynn added, “jolly Ol’ St Nick is at the helm.”

“On screen,” Cassandra spoke, shifting further ahead in her seat in interest.

~Cassandra Rixan~

Torias had heard of earthly holiday traditions, and so when Flynn mentioned about St Nick, he just looked in his direction with a smirk. “I thought that was some earthern children’s story” he commented. He then waited to see what was going to greet the captain on the viewscreen.

The image showed indeed the sleigh and reindeer. Thy made a deft leisurely turn and made their way toward the ship, growing rapidly in the screen. Then, suddenly they disappeared.

Moments later the sound of hoofs on the hull were heard.

Moments after that there was a flash at the rear of the bridge. An engineering console transformed to an old stone chimney. Embers still showed smoke curling up the blackened stone. Stockings hung on the mantle with names written on them, each with the names of the bridge crew there. Decorations filled the rest of the mantle on either side of a wooden clock that ticked loudly.

A sound was heard in the chimney followed by a man dressed in red with white trim deftly negotiating the chimney. Facing the chimney he pulled a partially filled sack out from the chimney before turning. “You earthlings have very strange demigods,” he said at last.

“Woah!” Exclaimed Sean, jumping of scare when the flash happened “are you guys seeing what I am seeing or it is just me?” Asked to the Bridge crew, as he saw what it seemed Santa Claus.
What the heck on Earth was happening!

“There’s one person for the nice list,” Santa exclaimed, a frayed scroll and quill pen appearing in hand where he made a tick on the parchment.

Torias didn’t need to answer the question, his phaser was already pointed in the direction of the figure that had just entered the bridge. “How did you get aboard?” he asked, looking at the changed console. “Captain, I think we need to be cautious, could be the Q,” he suggested, having read about the encounters that the enterprise and deep space nine had with them and how they could change someone’s view of reality very easily.

“Oh naughty naughty,” he said in reply to Torias, making another tick. As the scroll and pen disappeared there was a flash - several actually - and in the place of Torias phaser was a glass of what looked like it may be egg nog. Similarly, there was a glass in everyone’s hand on the bridge. “Ho ho ho,” Santa said, also with a glass. “Tis the season. We’ve made sure no toy phasers are under anyone’s tree. It’s on the politically incorrect North Pole list this year. But we do have some nice starship stuffies that are gaining in popularity.”

He raised the glass. “To .. me?” he said before letting out another ho ho ho.
