Tolly was awoken by something wet licking his face, he moaned half asleep. “Rossie” he said calling the name of his old dog back on Alpha Centauri, “Stop go lay down” he opened his eyes and instantly shot up in bed screaming as he taped his comm badge =^= “Ensign Tolly to the bridge, you are not going to believe this but…um there is a Riendeer with a bright red nose in my quarters…and its…flying.” Tolly got up moving past the flying Reindeer to move into the main living area of his quarters =^= “umm scratch that, there are 9 reindeer”

“..I’m suspecting you are right, Lt Commander..” Drudoc said then hit the reply for the chief engineer’s call. =/\= Andone to Miz’uki we’re equally having similar problems up here and across the ship. We are beginning to suspect either pranks by the Q or else someone or a group of the crew are going to be spending quite a bit of time in the ship’s holding cells. =/\= She said.

It was at this point Trainor’s efforts to shut off the music succeeded casting the bridge into blessed silence.

=^=Fayth to Andone. It appears we have either a talented prankster or an intruder on board. I’m sending the file to Trainor’s station on the bridge now. I’m on my way there.=^= She sent the security feed to Trainor.

Playing the logs showed a time red-white plump suited figure phase into the arboretum in a flash of light then in another flash the decorations appeared on the plants. Then looking at one of the cameras on audio was picked up ‘ho ho ho happy holidays!’ the mystery figure said.

Moments later Sharah appeared on the bridge and sat down at her console on the bridge pulling up the same time period from all other locations around the ship looking for similar instances and then feeding them to the main viewer as she found them. Well Rainns wanted to go after bad guys.

There was a moment of silence on the other end as what the captain said sank in then =^=”Ohhhh NO NO NO! It best not be that Overinflated Idiotic Puffed up Ball of Insanity that is Q”=^= She growled in reply =^=”If He is involved you May need to have Security hold me back…That being is a menace to all Starships!”=^=

Miz’uki

In a flash the music quieted and the earlier christmas spirit flood of cheer vanished from around the ship.

In another flash of light at the chief engineer’s declaration Miz’uki found herself on the bridge in a 5x5 foot square miniature boxing arena outfitted in a two piece boxer’s outfit in one corner. While a burly muscled up parody of a Q (The classic de lancie q! With a splash of Pop Eye like clothing!) appeared in the opposite end of the ring. “..Ohh so you think you can get a good ole knocker in on me eh Ms Puss n Boots? Put up your dukes! Sisko may have gotten one in on me but you surely won’t!” he said confidently. “..Let’s see what you got!”

Perhaps Miz’uki could get in a parting shot before the Captain called a halt to things. If she wanted to try.

OOC: Forgot this bit.

In addition to the chief engineer showing up the chief of security was now at the back of the bridge.

Miz’uki was not amused “How dare you speak about Captain Sisko He is a hero of the federation and an officer I greatly admire You are nothing but a petulant child of a being that is nothing but a Menace to Starfleet” she growled slowly walking towards the super being as she approached him she kept her mind filled with engineering nonsense not sure if his omnipotence was based on her thoughts once she was in range she dropped and tried to sweep Q’s Legs out from under him being a Caitian she was quick nimble and quick

Sharah’s combadge chimed.

=^= Riley to Lieutenant Fayth. All lab systems check out, all security functions are and have been working as expected, and all data has been recorded as expected. =^= There was a brief pause. =^= Is something going on I should be aware of? =^=

Sharah watched the drama unfold. She’d heard the stories and even studied cases where members of the Continuum had been factors in decisions that captains had made. But she felt the immediate launching into a boxing match was…premature. Not that this person might not deserve it, but so far, other than almost making the frost lily kill itself it was harmless or appeared so. Annoying, disruptive, and just exhausting to deal with the clean up. But the Q were almost omniscient as far as they knew.
Why provoke him? Why give in to his whims. Cases of Picard, Sisko, even Janeway all pointed to keeping a calm head and making choices carefully when they were around. But she was new to all this and a young officer. It wasn’t her place to say one way or the other.

Not wanting to make panic she slowly tapped her commbadge. =^=Someone has been dropping off holiday…surprises. In very surprising and unique places. Tell everyone to keep an eye on their experiments. I’ll let you know when we know more. I’m on the bridge if you need me. Fayth Out.=^=

Sharah’s curiosity got the best of her. He looked human but he wasn’t of course. She was sure there was data in the system, but she glanced at the internal sensor readings on her station, trying to determine what made Q a…well a Q. From a strictly medical stand point she was sure it was fascinating.
