Q had a PaDD under his arm and a serious look on his face. A few of the other crewmen he passed took notice of the difference in his demeanor. they had started to grow accustomed to his smiles and jokes as he passed through the halls. But now he was strictly business. He arrived at the Captain’s ready room, hit the door chime, and stood rigidly waiting for the captain to let him in. They had a good deal to discuss before they moved forward.

He’d been doing his research on Klingon battle tactics and anything else Starfleet had on the Klingon Empire. Regrettably, there wasn’t much. He had also been pouring over the report on his sister’s ship that had gone missing. It truly was a mystery. No record of the ship’s discovery or capture. It had simply lost contact. After two months of radio silence, Starfleet assumed the ship was lost and had covered up the mission to avoid the Klingons discovering it. While he had liked that Starfleet had tried to reconnect for two months before noting the ship lost, that fact meant that his family had not been told what happened to Clarissa for two months. He had sent her messages during that time and she could have already been dead.

He couldn’t think about that right now. If he were to allow himself to be emotionally compromised, the Captain and Kastarak would have him removed from duty, and he couldn’t allow that. He had to be on this mission. Not only did he need to know, for certainty, what happened to his sister, but he had to be there for this crew. He couldn’t let them go off on this dangerous mission while he sat out on the bench.

They had a lot of work to do.

Chris was in his office liking at the big tank with an arm and hand in it. Hearing the chime,”Enter!”. He said while going back to look into the tank.
