“What did you do Q?” The voice echoed through the small section of space where the Q known as Quinn to the humans stood staring at the void.

She looked over her shoulder at Q. “I am just looking.” She replied. Her tone was nonchalant and she was not going to give anything away if she could help it.

Q scoffed. “You know exactly what you did. That planet. It was not meant to be there.”

“What planet?” Quinn asked.

Q waved a hand and a beautiful planet appeared before their eyes. It was the planet the Starfleet crew of the USS Elysium had called Eden. And spent time there recuperating.

“Oh that planet?” She asked. “What about it?”

“You put it there, it should not have been there.”

Quinn rolled her shoulders casually. “Oh? I guess probably not.”

The Q who was behind her was about to yell when Quinn faced him. “Oh shut it Q. Like you have not bent the rules!”

“We bend but we do not break! We have an agreement with the..” The Other Q sputtered and Quinn rolled her eyes. If she was facing another Q it would be a different matter but this one didn't scare her. They had, had very little contact with the mortals of the Milky Way.

“OH please they want us to do their dirty work!” She interrupted his rant.

“And? It was the agreement! And you broke it!”

“They needed respite! The agreement was wrong! We deliberately let them go there unprepared! We killed hundreds! And it has caused so much more hurt to them.”

“NOT YOUR CHOICE TO MAKE!”

“WE SHOULD NOT HAVE MADE THE AGREEMENT!”

“WE MADE IT IN GOOD FAITH!”

“AND THEY BROKE IT!” Quinn screamed back.

The other Q drew back.

“THEY SEEDED THOSE ACOROSIEL IN OUR GALAXY!” Quinn snarled. “WE WERE BLINDED. THEY ARE GOING TO TAKE OUT THE BEINGS IN OUR GALAXY AND CONVERT THEM TO THE WORSHIP OF THE BEINGS IN THE CIRCINUS!” She turned back to the view of the planet. “WE MADE THE WRONG DEAL. AND I WILL PROTECT THOSE WHO REQUIRE IT!”

She clicked her fingers and vanished, leaving a stunned silence behind.

Quinn appeared in the void between the two galaxies. She knew better than to go to Circinus with her powers in full flight. She used her powers to create the small pack of clothes, and a book where she would hold her powers while she went undercover. She concentrated and appeared on deck 35 of the USS Elysium. A wave of her hand and she was dressed in Engineering yellow, and her name appeared in the records as Kalesa Quinlan, Ensign, engineering. Another wave had memories of her filling the engineering team. Then she placed the majority of her powers into the book and headed to her cabin assignment. She would do this her own way. And she would protect the Federation Crew without the help of the other Q.
