A figure from Leximas' past comes for revenge, and this time she's brought along the power of the Q. In short order, the crew of Waystation are fighting for their lives, their station, and, in the case of Commander Lisa Beck, her very soul. Can the crew figure out some way to stop a demi-god? Will Bradley Dillon's holodeck fantasies get him killed? Is Beck willing to leave Starfleet for a higher level of existence? Will Colonel Martin Lazlo ever stop being a weaselly slimeball? Is Lieutenant Sean Russell the only one who can sort this mess out?
Summary
Out in the Beta Quadrant, a former pupil of Leximas', Karyna is travelling looking for new pleasures to experience when she encounters a Q who has grown tired with the universe. Karyna decides to show him that there are new sensations for him to discover and joins with the Q.
On Waystation, Lieutenant Sean Russell's security forces have their hands full with a Klingon dress thief who has robbed Krilik's Klingon Formal Wear Shop. They are able to stop the thief, Qolesh, with Bradley Dillon's help. Bradley's main reason for being in the area was to invite Leximas to join him for an ocean cruise in the holodeck on a little ship called the Titanic. Qolesh manages to escape from Russell and attempts to take Commander Lisa Beck hostage. Beck escapes, clobbering Qolesh in the process, but she is none too pleased with her Chief of Security. She orders Russell to go with Lieutenant Commander Walter Morales to attend to a diplomatic chore on the colony Geranis Two. Russell has no interest in going (and he has a date he doesn't want to miss) and gives the assignment to Yeoman Tina Jones, who is thrilled at the chance to get off the station. In the holodeck, Leximas experiences a flash of dread.
Beck discovers that Russell disobeyed her orders and gives him twelve hours to get off the station. In her anger, she makes Colonel Martin Lazlo of the Federation Marines the new Chief of Security. Karyna finishes her joining with Q and now has Q powers. The result of the joining is an energy surge that disables Morales' and Jones' runabout. Karyna turns her newfound abilities to the task of finding Leximas, who she blames for her exile from their homeworld, and leaves a despondent Q. Lieutenant Craig Porter detect the energy surge as well and sees that it's now heading directly for Waystation. Leximas also senses that something is coming. Karyna enters Ops. She's immediately taken with Beck, but she has a bit of business to attend to first. She vanishes from Ops. Porter's scans reveal that she is part Q.
Karyna confronts Leximas in the holodeck and informs the guru that she is going to kill her. She sends Leximas and Bradley to the real Titanic in 1912, moments before the ship strikes the iceburg, and strands them there to die. As an added bit of fun, she put a Grecin, an alien assassin, on board to make sure that Leximas dies. The lonely Q that Karyna abandoned finds Morales and Jones and decides that they will now keep him company. Karyna returns to Waystation, where Lazlo has mobilized his marines to take her out. She toys with them, injuring several in the process, then meets up with Russell. She tells him that she knows all about what Beck did to him and that she's going to make it all better. Russell thinks he's being seduced, but instead she takes him to Ops, where she grabs Beck, and all three of them vanish, leaving Porter alone in Ops.
As Bradley and Leximas try to get off of the Titanic before it sinks while avoiding the Grecin and Morales and Jones try to entertain Q, Karyna puts Russell aside for a while and focuses her attention on Beck, taking her to a recreation of Beck's parents' beach house in North Carolina.
