Tremble in fear, mortals

In the Armoury

By now, Shran was becoming convinced that someone had slipped something in his drink. He just couldn’t believe what his eyes were seeing… he felt like he needed to sit down, but of course, he couldn’t, because of the lack of gravity.

Which didn’t make him feel any more lucid, either.

"Did you do this?!" he demanded, assuming that the intruder was responsible for drugging him. For all Shran knew, he could be a Romulan in disguise, and maybe he had drugged the rest of the crew too… maybe if he focused he could make the hallucinations go away.

"I've never seen such a confused Andorian before. In a way it makes you rather appealing. Nevertheless you should at least afford me some form of comfort or first contact blah blah." He then chuckled looking at the Andorian, "Oops I forgot that whole reduction of weight thing" He snapped his fingers and the Andorian collapsed on the floor.

In the Armoury

That was a good point, but Shran was convinced that this person was somehow playing a joke on him. After all, he clearly wasn’t taking this situation seriously. If he was, then surely he would try to help instead of coming out with useless comments.

So he grabbed the knife and hurled it up in the direction of the stranger - aiming to hit him in the leg- which would, Shran thought, hurt him but not cause serious damage. Perhaps this fool would be more willing to talk sensibly after that - he hoped so.

He snapped his fingers and the knife turned into three white doves. He floated down from the ceiling and said, "Well that's just rude. Didn't your mother teach you to never throw knives at strangers? And I thought Starfleet were hospitable..."

A Long Time // Closed // Erika and Q

"You all survived didn’t you and why did you survive? Because of this guy right here." He waited for her to mount the dragon and grinned, "Giddy up Chespy." Oh Chespy, the eldest of Azuzu’s kids before she decided to make a dwarf mountain her home. Such great memories but since Chespy was a relatively young male dragon, he liked to go much faster then Azuzu ever did.

"Barely. We did not survive because of you, you survived because of us." It had been a strange situation, but they had succeeded, and Q hadn’t had that much to do with it.

"Chespy? You named the dragon?" Erika looked at the dragon below her as she got herself comfortable. As comfortable as someone apparently could get on a dragon’s back.

"Tomato, tom-a-to," He stroked the back of Chespy's head and smiled, "Oh Chespy here was the biggest of his brothers and the fastest. What do you say boy? Want to show the good Captain the true meaning of haste?" Chespy leapt up from the ground and accelerated upwards in an arch at a fast pace.

In the Armoury

He was obviously lying, Shran thought, but it didn’t explain anything that was happening here.

"YOU ARE STUCK THROUGH THE CEILING!" Shran yelled at the top of his voice, as if the man hadn’t noticed. He was getting irritated now, losing his temper, and he was beginning to think that this strange person might be behind it all. Now that he thought about it, Shran didn’t recognize this man, nor did he remember seeing his face amongst the crew.

He looked around for a weapon, but the phasers were too far away to grab without letting go of the equipment. So instead he pulled out one of his knives.

"GET DOWN AND EXPLAIN YOURSELF PROPERLY," he ordered, holding up the knife threateningly. He felt stupid, but he couldn’t think of anything else to do at this point.

"Get down? I'm as stuck up here as you're stuck with being blue. If I was truly lying why would I still be up here. Wouldn't I have come down already?" Lying always gave him a certain buzz of excitement especially watching the changing thought processes of a humanoid mind working and to add to the obvious confusion of the Andorian he added, "After all you wouldn't attack an unarmed man stuck in the ceiling would you?"

In the Armoury

Shran had dealt with antigravity before, and had trained for it. So he knew enough to grab hold of something, and quick, instinctively reaching out for the nearest piece of equipment and latching on.

Nevertheless he was startled, but he noticed that the other items in the room still lay precisely where they were. What was going on??

He tried to make his way to one of the communications devices, but he couldn’t reach from where he was.

Glancing up, he saw the man was still stuck in the ceiling. “How did you get up there?!” Shran demanded, thinking that perhaps this was some kind of ongoing ship malfunction. At least, that was what the rational part of his mind tried to tell him, but it didn’t explain how someone could be stuck right through the ceiling…

"I was just taking a walk outside, you know how the solar radiation gets this time of year such a beautiful chill, and I just happened to trip and slide into your hull. I would be ever so grateful if you'd help me out of this sticky wicket." He was changing his accent at odd points in the sentence just to throw the Andorian off and using big wide pitiable eyes to try and sway his sympathy. If it could work for human females why couldn't it work for him.

In the Armoury

As soon as he heard a sudden voice cutting through the silence, Shran spun round. And his first thought was… was… well, he didn’t know what to think.

A man was sticking right through the ceiling.

He’d never seen anything like it in his entire life.

Shran didn’t remember having anything alcoholic to drink that day, but perhaps someone had put hallucinogens in his water. That was the only explanation he could think of. “…Get down from there!” Shran found himself barking out the order, though he wasn’t quite sure why he said it. It just seemed like the most natural thing to say… under the circumstances.

#commandershran #((I believe Shran can fly))

Oh the quickened heartbeat, the panicked expression. It was like eating ten chocolate puddings in a row. He put a look of terror on his face and said, "I don't know how I got here. I think something's wrong with the grav plating. He snapped his fingers behind his back and the Andorian begun to float. "Oh do hurry. You need to get some sort of engineer in here."

In the Armoury

It had been a long day of work in the armoury, but Shran was satisfied that everything was going well. Almost every system here had been improved, upgraded, or modified in some way, all contributing to the smooth running of the ship. Next time they entered a combat situation, they should be more than ready.

Everyone else had turned in for the night. So Shran was left alone in this section of the armoury for a while, doing one last long check to ensure that everything was as it should be. One of the advantages of working in here on his own meant he could get on with his job without any annoying humans getting in his way. So he took his time, fiddling with the computers and going over the results- not hurrying, enjoying his solitude. Once he finished checking it all over, he planned to make his report to Captain Hernandez who hopefully would be gratified. Then he’d report to Starfleet, as promised.

He grinned maliciously from his position half way through the Armoury Ceiling. He'd thought the flash approach a little too obvious and had instead appeared on the outside of the hull and was leaning down through the ceiling. The little blue guy was running all sort of diagnostics and upgrades and blah blah blah... time for a little excitement.

"Excuse me good sir but I do believe I am stuck."

Did you like kissing Captain Janeway's foot or was it a bit smelly.

How dare you even ask me that question. It had the pleasant aroma of gone off Stilton and if she were to ever read this then I will never get to turn Kim into a ferret ever again.

Have you ever been sorry for annoying someone?

#Anonymous

Have you ever grown a few extra arms and legs, just because you CAN? (and if so, what did you do while you had them?)

I once spent three weeks as a Giant Squid and to tell you the truth having all of those limbs was more of a burden then a pleasure. Though crushing ships did have a certain... merit.

#Anonymous

Have you ever farted and accidentally caused a hurricane?

Never accidentally. On purpose is another matter entirely.

"Why doesn’t that make me feel any better. Last time I saw you, you put officers from the future on my ship and we had to save the galaxy." She rolled her eyes, they, and Enterprise had managed to survive, but it had been close.

But, she did as she was told and climbed up onto the dragon. not entirely sure this was the best idea.

She nodded back and set the destinations, standing in silence mostly, just wondering what the hell had happened in Engineering for this.

#intrepid class captain #((sorry for the reply being so late))

Yet another Captain to add to Captain Bingo all he needed to do now was pay a quick trip over to Harkness and he'd win. Oh he was gonna win big. He tried to keep a self satisfied grin off of his face but he knew that the impending reaction would make everything worth it.

"You have got to stop messing with people’s lives. I don’t mind you whisking me away from time to time but leave everyone else alone while you do it." She admonished, there was a difference between taking her away and changing her universe.

Then she stopped for a moment and stared… “Dragon… riding…? But that thing’s huge.”

"The bigger it is the more exciting it will be. Don't worry you'll be fine should you fall off the ride at anytime well let's just say that a Q guarantee of safety is safer then anything in the universe, apart from maybe a safe..."

He needed to give well meaning but uncomfortable reassurance, if he'd done anything else she might just get suspicious.

"I’m an explorer, of course I’m going to be enticed by a mystery." She shook her head and looked at the dragon before taking a little step forward. "If I end up dead or incapacitated your existence will be revealed to Starfleet you know?" She grinned and finally came to a stop beside Q.
