ten_fwd | wake me up when it's all over (open)

The last thing Jadzia expected after her wedding was to get whisked off somewhere. Well, no, she expected the Chief and Julian to play their part and "attack" the happy couple, but she definitely didn't expect to open her eyes after the first volley to find herself somewhere else entirely. She blinks warily. Usually, when this happens nothing good comes of it. Or, well, okay getting tossed back to the Kirk's timeline had been fun, even if they were trying to save him from a tribble-bomb. She could have done without getting stuck in 2024 though.

So here she is, walking the hallways cautiously. She's already asked the computer to tell her what ship this is and the answer was most definitely not comforting. Eventually, she ends up in Ten Forward, where she knows she'll find someone happy to give her answers. At least she'll be gathering attention very quickly with what she's wearing.

Little does she know her Klingon wedding dress might garner even more attention than she expects.

"Is that his name?" He asked, rising to his two feet and looking at the woman straight on.

He resembles a caitian, but his face, ears, arms and legs were all wrong.

"Because some comic space genie named Q kidnapped everyone who're not part of this crew. I sure ain't."

"Probably not the captain here," Dax admits, her brain going a kilometer a minute as she considers her options. "But if he is here, I'd like to see him."

Benjamin could at least be a sane voice in all of this. He wouldn't try to trick her like--

"Q? Oh that explains a lot."

"It's all new to me, space princess." That's basically your name for now until you correct him.

Meanwhile he seems more content in licking his paw for th moment.

"Haven't heard the name yet."

Dax gets distracted by the nickname, her eyebrows rising incredulously. That one is a new nickname. "Space princess?" she echoes disbelievingly. "That's a new one."

He makes a broad gesture to her elaborate clothing.

"I dunno, seems like yer rollin' around in your space princess ship. You seem to know where we are." Which means you're a native, maybe time displaced or teleported, but a native.

He is showing his age so much right now. Juvenile.

"Just because I know where we are doesn't mean I'm a princess," Jadzia says patiently. Dax might be important, but neither of them is really that important. "I've only heard of this ship. I think I'm still displaced in time, like everyone else."

"You know a joke when you hear one, doncha?" This cat does not seem to have much patience, at least not for adults. He'd certainly be surprised to learn that part of this woman was several generations old.

"Time and space... Don't think the earth in this reality even remotely resembles mine."

Jadzia would normally have patience and a sense of humor to last a lifetime, but right now she is too confused and frustrated.

"I'm guessing not," she agrees with a slight frown. "I'm not sure I would be the best one to figure that out, but I could try if you're curious."

"I think I already did. The only ones with space ships are hostile, and the only other aliens run around finding human hosts everywhere. Least sides from one off visitors." That is to imply there are other aliens, but they never leave, or few in number.

"Plus I've not been seein' nobody in spandex running around so fair bet? This isn't my world's future. Besides, already asked about the Battalion and nobody knows what that is." IF nothing else he knows the right questions to ask to find out what he wants to know.

"But why would the Q-man kidnap people from this world? Doesn't make sense if he's screwin' with the multiverse."

Jadzia just nods thoughtfully, her brow still creased in concentration. Nothing is adding up except that Q is having far too much fun at everyone else's expense. None of this is making sense and Dax does not like it.

"Can't say I know about a Battalion by title." She understands the military term, but not the title. "As for Q... he just likes to cause trouble. Sometimes I think he just does things to cause chaos and mayhem."

Really, she's probably just here because Q wanted to get even with Benjamin. Capture a close friend, get even. Or something like that.

Turning his head up, he sniffs. It wasn't until just now that he noticed that he herself wasn't human. Which was weird, as besides the spots she looked exactly like a human.

"I'd figured he brought me here just to annoy me." Lips peel back. "Why the hell would you put a mutant lion on a space ship?'

"He seems to like doing that, too," Dax agrees. None of this is helping her mood, but at least they're agreed that Q is trouble. "Good question. Add it to the list."

Folding her arms over her chest, she surveys the room. "I think I need to do a little exploring today." She has questions and she needs answers. A lot of them.

"I can't stop you, but the security chumps will." This kid has like, zero respect for the crew that's basically putting up with him right now. Zero.

He doesn't really feel comfortable here, even if he's putting on a relaxed facade.

"I never said I'd be going anywhere that security would protest." She is, after all, a Starfleet officer. She might not know this starship, but she does know protocol and until the crew is more familiar with her, she will remain very firmly within the boundaries.

That doesn't mean she won't be figuring this ship out as much as she can.
