Are you sure you know what you're doing?

[earlgrey_hot]

Well, I have to say, in all my years as a Federation Captain, having to deal with Q, the Borg, the Dominion, being sent back in time and all that...

This is definately a first for me. And that is saying something.

I just hope you know what you're doing, mun.

That's what's so fascinating about our jobs, Captain. There's always something new.

[the_other_dr_mccoy]

Oh, they usually know exactly what they're doing... [Eying those pips. God, you future Starfleet officers have to change everything, don't you?] Captain.

It's just usually not in our favor.

[earlgrey_hot]

Well, it means we never get bored, doesn't it, captain?

[All the formalities.]

[earlgrey_hot]

[Haters gonna hate.]

Doctor.

...Yes, I am quite aware that my mun's track record for the ostentatious isn't spotless

[the_other_dr_mccoy]

[Nothing to hate. Just all the confusion because she's used to her rank markings.]

As long as you know what you're getting into. I hope that you won't have the chance to gather any dust. Any plans, sir?

Isn't there a first time for everything, Captain?

[earlgrey_hot]

Actually, no. I have no idea why I'm here, if I'm honest. Even if I have been briefed on what I'm doing.

He doesn't really have any plans, unfortunately.

[earlgrey_hot]

Mm... Indeed, captain.

And I must say, I'm usually the first to try it.

I wouldn't put too much stock in them knowing what they're doing, though. Expect the unexpected, prepare for the worst, you know the drill.

[earlgrey_hot]

Yes, well, you can't really be surprised by anything when you've met Q.

[the_other_dr_mccoy]

That is unfortunate. Maybe your mundane'll find a dressin' room to put you in. It'd be pretty interestin' to see.

[earlgrey_hot]

He has some vague ideas. But he needs to do something called a...

[Pause]

Canon Review?

[goldshirt]

What's a Q?

[earlgrey_hot]

A pan-dimensional, omniscient creature who holds considerable power over space/time.

And he's quite an unsavoury character.

[the_other_dr_mccoy]

Ah, yeah. That does help them a lot with placin' us.

[Jo is free of that issue.]

[earlgrey_hot]

It may take some time, I'm afraid.

...That and he seems completely terrified of playing me. I'm not that intimidating.

[the_other_dr_mccoy]

My mundane seems to think he's doin' pretty well with you. A canon review can't hurt though.

[earlgrey_hot]

Yes, well knowing what you're talking about is imperative, but having the courage to jump into the unknown is just as admirable.

Yes, I have no complaints, either.

[goldshirt]

You know what? You can keep him.

[nothx i've got multispocks to worry about and that is e-nough space/time for me.]

[earlgrey_hot]

I'd rather not.

Although, according to Admiral Janeway, he seems to be quite busy, nowadays.

[goldshirt]

Admiral Janeway?

[wat.]

[the_other_dr_mccoy]

And there's no harm in takin' that first leap here. You and your mundane seem t'have plenty of support.

[fruity_puppeteer]

Nothing more exciting than your first time, is it not?

[earlgrey_hot]

[Dear god, that voice.]

Please tell me that isn't you, Q...

[fruity_puppeteer]

That isn't me, Q~

[Not helping, Discord.]
