Kelly reclined at her desk with her booted feet up on the edge of her desk. This was not generally a position she could use since she always wore a skirt instead of the pants most women in her position chose. Kelly never understood the need for a woman to fit in or look like a man in her field. She wasn’t a man. She was a woman so why not dress like one and still run in the boys club. The music in her earphones blared loudly as her foot tapped out a rhythm. Kelly could not carry a tune if it had a handle but that did not mean she did not sing. She just kept the music up loud enough to drown out her own voice.

Kelly Bordeaux

As the Captain continued to tap along, the music would suddenly stop. “Oh, El Capitan!” A voice boomed through her headphones, “Not very ladylike of you.” The voice on the other end laughed. Captain Bordeaux would immediately recognize the voice, as Q, from her lessons during the academy.

Kelly sat straight up which of course caused her ankles to separate before she quickly put her legs down.

“Oh pain in the ass. What are you doing in my office,” Kelly stood up looking around her office. Just because she could not see the man didn’t mean he wasn’t there. “LMNOP too busy to play?”

“Poor Captain Andone couldn’t tame this one,” Q snickered, through the Captain’s headphones, “But maybe you can!” Kelly would be able to hear an audible snap in the background. Appeared before her, a Starfleet Lieutenant Commander, about 27 years of age. Bordeaux would somewhat deem the man familiar, maybe from a report 8 years ago, but she’d have to dig through Starfleet records if she had the clearance.

The reference to Captain Andone, made Kelly looked at the man now standing in her office with a different lens. Captain Andone was someone Kelly respected the hell out of. As a Captain Andone was loyal, intelligent, and dedicated. She was someone Kelly strived to be like. Looking at the man, his face looked vaguely familiar. Not someone she had gone to the academy with. The man was too young for that but maybe he was an XO or in the dipcorp. She didn’t say anything but waited for the man to reply or Q to give another cryptic answer.

“Oh, and Trainor,” Q boomed, “This is a gift from me to you!” Another audible snap could be heard. The Captain would see the now named, Lieutenant Commander Trainor turn from a seasoned 27-year-old man to a fresh-eyed 19-year-old. “Or, maybe a curse!”

Just then the music in the Captain’s ears returned to normal, the only difference now, was the young Lieutenant Commander standing in front of her.

“Coffee,” Kelly said not sure what else to say for the moment. People showed up unexpectedly all the time in her office but never quite like this.

Kelly Bordeaux CO

Tenzing was too stunned at the moment to respond to Bordeaux. Looking around, Trainor thought Q might have dropped him off at some antique museum had it not been for the uniform of the woman standing before him. Looking at his hands, then arms, it appeared that Q had turned him back a few years. Gone were the stress wrinkles and scars from his years on the Ark Angel and Chimera; Tenzing could only imagine he had been transformed back to his late teens or early twenties.

=/\= Captain, this is Nash =/\= A gruff, unpleasant sounding voice that sounded like it had something stick between his lips in the corner of his mouth came through the comm.

=/\= Hey chief =/\= Kelly said in a calm but song song voice.

=/\= I just got a real weird energy spike from your Ready Room, but it’s gone now. Is everything okay up there or are you messing with my replicators again to try and bypass your coffee ration? =/\=

Lt Cmdr Ethan Nash, CE

=/\= Well that is refreshing. I thought I was hitting your private stick a little two hard. Turns out it’s just another over achieving senior trying to come up with something for the science fair to get them I to the Daystim institute. Oh and that energy spike…Can you pin point the origin of the spike?=/\=

Turning her attention to the man in her office. “First off don’t try to be an over achiever. Have a little fun. You know I always give recommendations to graduating seniors and second off who are your parents. You know you shouldn’t really be dorking around with the transporters.” Kelly was more than a little annoyed. Teenagers sucked and the smart ones were always trying to out do each other especially during science fair time.

Sitting down she waved her hand over the replicator Drayke had made her and waited for the young man to get his bearings.

Tenzing snapped back to reality at the sound of the Captain’s voice. “Excuse me, but I was born in 2361, where do you come off asking for my parents?” The Lieutenant Commander realized that his point was moot as he did, in fact, appear to look like a second-year Cadet. It was bad enough that Trainor had been pushed ten years into the future aboard the Albert Einstein, but he wasn’t about to let Q get the best of him. One thing did come across his mind though, how was he to tell his parents. Afterall, it was bad enough coming home to his twin brother being 10 years older, now Ryan would be 18 years older.

Kelly took a long sip of her coffee and listened to the young man speak. “You look amazing for being 37,” she said nodding. “Tell me do you use Nivea or Estee Lauder night cream because your crow’s feet are non-existent.” She could not help but find some amusement in the situation. This kid was persistent however they were not dirt side. It was not like he could sneak off and no one find him. They were in a ship in the middle of space so finding where he lived and who he belonged to would not take long.

“Wanna go for double Jeopardy where the scores can really change,” she asked the kid. “How about I am sorry skipper and my parents are for two thousand,” she took another sip of her coffee.

“And second, where exactly am I?” Trainor asked. Tenzing couldn’t help but wonder what type of Captain this woman was as if just didn’t see him flash here by Q, and then transform into a younger self, and just be okay with all of it.

After a few moments, Trainor raised his brows and shrugged his shoulders as if he was waiting for an answer.

“Where do you think you are,” Kelly asked with an amused expression. “Look kid its been fun but call you mom. I got things to do,” she said. When Q showed up things were never just a pop in.

Kelly Bordeaux

Tenzing groaned internally; she was turning his situation into a joke. Her amusement about the whole ordeal was starting to put him into sensory overload. Trainor took a moment to fully take in the scenery, what of most he wouldn’t recognize due to their ancient aroma. He was surprised there weren’t rodents running around.

“Just take me to Starbase 243 or the Meridian Station.” The, now young officer, replied. Obviously, this woman was out of her mind, and gosh only knows when she had a psych eval last. That at least, Tenzing couldn’t blame her. He himself couldn’t stand to be around a shrink more than the next person, but he had his reasons. “I’m a Lieutenant Commander, not some groggaling half-witted Cadet!” Trainor rolled his eyes at the mess he was in at the moment, but held himself from busting out of the room to see what assistance this Captain could provide.

Kelly tapped her badge =/\=Cara can you come to my office please =/\= As much as she was enjoying this little stunt, she had work to do.

Looking at the kid in front of her Kelly sighed. “What’s your name kid,” Kelly said waiting for the counselor to show up.

Kelly Bordeaux

Trainor simply stared at the Captain; she was enjoying this. The Lieutenant Commander cursed and sighed lowly. “I’m Lieutenant Commander Tenzing Trainor.” He stated and motioned towards the PC on the CO’s desk. “Go ahead and look me up in the Starfleet database, I’m sure you’ll find I’m no kid.” Tenzing was feeling a bit impatient at the little help the Captain was providing him. Q had zapped him to god knows where, and this woman’s first instinct is to call someone named Cara.

Cara was in between appointments at the time. =/\=On my wah Captain.=/\= She stepped out of her office and nodded to Yvonne, “Cap’s summoned me. Oy! Royo!” her security shadow had to be around somewhere. The man appeared from around the corner. “Where we headed Lt?” “I’m goin’ the bridge, which I can find. You can stah here and flirt with Yvonne. Just donnae want another man hunt and lecture from your chief because I didnae tell my baby sitter where I was goin’.” Yvonne and Royo laughed and Cara left and took the lift to the bridge and over to the ready room door and pressed the chime. See she told Gravel she’d figure it out eventually....kind of.

O’Farrell

“I can assure you I’m no sideshow piece,” Trainor exclaimed as he turned to the door after hearing the chime. “So, please, just drop me off at the nearest Starbase, or give me a shuttle.”
