I, Q: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

 

The main story is narrated by Q, the character that John de Lancie played in various Star Trek episodes. Q's story begins with him and his family enjoying some [[Villains Out Shopping|deep sea fishing]] at the bottom of a mighty ocean. (The Q family is [[Physical God|omnipotent]], the crushing depths of a mere ocean is nothing to them.) Suddenly a giant fissure opens up on the ocean floor, and a massive whirlpool above it begins to pull everything in the ocean down into the newly formed canyon, including Q's wife and son. Strangely enough, the whirlpool disaster wasn't exclusive to just the one ocean. Every body of water in the galaxy was completely drained into the single canyon, even virtual bodies of water like the holodeck environment Picard and Data were [[Heroes Gone Fishing|fishing]] in. Fortunately, Q was able to save himself, Picard, and Data; unfortunately, Q was unable to save his family, and is now mad as a hornet about their disappearance.

 

 

* [[Bold Inflation]]: Data vs. M: Not just '''Bold''' inflation, but '''''Font''''' inflation as well; to illustrate the rage in each participant's voice, several pages are written in fonts at least five times bigger than normal.

* [[Brought Down to Normal]]: What the crevasse does to Q's powers. The longer you stay in one place, the more powerful you become...but Q isn't staying in one place for very long due to his wanting to find his wife and son.

* [[Papa Wolf]]: Q's family is in trouble. ''Fuck'' the end of the Universe.

* [[Rage Against the Heavens]]: Q gets an awesome rant at the climax. It's so epic that {{spoiler|God herself is impressed enough to forestall the end of everything and hit the [[Reset Button]]}}.

* [[Talking Is a Free Action]]: Picard tries to talk AU!Locutus to death...on top of a train that's going to be incinerated while everyone aboard is in denial about it. It fails.

* [[Your Mother]]: How the war between the Q and the M got started. More hilarious: none of the Q actually ''had'' a mother to insult.
