(Stunned for a panel as per the rules of accumulate energy. She's conscious just needs to rest.)

(OOC: Okay. Thanks!)
"I got you", Natsumi said, supporting her without any trouble. "Come... let's get you a seat", she said, moving to the nearest free chair to help her rest.
However, as she sat down to rest, she felt herself fading out of reality, as though she blinked out of existence, only to reappear... within the very alien interior of a massive Borg ship. She felt like all of her powers were gone, and was tied to what seemed like a metallic armchair with only her left arm free to move, as she saw two large screens before her.
On one, she could see the entire crew of the Enterprise, all tied to what looked like operating tables, with Borg drones walking around them, in a nightmarish scene more than sufficient enough to send shivers down her spine.
As for the other screen... she saw but one person tied to a similar table, with another Borg drone standing by her side. Natsumi.
Behind Miyuki appeared Q, seemingly out of nowhere.
"Two switches... before your fingers, on the armrest of your chair. If you press the right switch... your best friend, who loves you so much, Natsumi... will be assimilated by the Borg. If you press the left one... the entire crew of the Enterprise will suffer the same fate. If you select neither... then both of these will occur", he said with a very emotionless tone. "...Well? What will you do?" he asked, staring at her.

Miyuki shook tears coming out her eyes as she reluctantly flipped the switch on the Enterprise Crew.
(Tough choice.)

"Fascinating", Q said, snapping his fingers, and making everything disappear, leaving both him and Miyuki standing in a white, blank, seemingly infinite room. "An avatar of Justice who would sacrifice over a thousand people for a single life... I was not expecting this", he admitted.
"Your friend, and the crew of the Enterprise, are all unharmed. That last part was all in your mind", he stated, folding his arms. "Was your decision a display of a lack of justice on your part? ...Or was it that your love for her was simply so strong that no sacrifice would be too much to save her, I wonder? ...What do you think?"

"What does it matter!?" She yelled. "You put me on the spot, and forced me to make a choice! No human could think clearly in that situation. Especially when it's a bunch of strangers versus your most important friend in the whole damn world!"

"Exactly. Any other way would yield much less honest, much less meaningful results", he said, shrugging. "Just like your answer just now... fueled by emotion, by your anger towards me, shows me my second guess was correct. You said it yourself... a bunch of strangers, versus... 'your most important friend in the whole damn world'."
He chuckled.
"I knew you'd be interesting. Humans are always so full of surprises. Here... you earned it."
He said, as a bright light engulfed her...
...and she blinked, ending back on the bridge of the Enterprise, moments after the explosion of the two Borg cubes, sitting down next to Natsumi, who was looking at her, concerned.
"Miyuki... are you okay? ...You've been staring into thin air for like 10 seconds and... you're tearing up."

"Yeah... I'm fine... Your associate decided he wanted to test me a little further." Miyuki said. "Someone hand me a tissue please." She said as a Gorila appeared out of nowhere and handed her one. "Thanks... Wait what the?-"
(Just wanted an excuse to write Miyuki's beast companions into the game.)

And to top it all off, a raccoon climbed on said gorilla's head, while another just stepped forward by its side, observing Miyuki with curiosity.
"What in the world?" Dr.Crusher let out, blinking.
"Q, what is the meaning of this?" Picard asked, frowning.
"Ah, interestingly enough, this isn't my own doing", the alien said, manifesting by the police girl's side. "Rather... this is", he added, handing her a white plastic case.

"Huh?" Miyuki asked examining the case.
4 in Int to try and get some answers.

The case opened...
"Thank me later", Q said, vanishing into thin air.
Inside the case, was a silver prism in the shape of a police badge, about as large as one, too. Without even touching it, she could sense its potential. The device was capable of one of several things:
-If pressed onto WoF's engine, it would 'evolve' the Stand into some superior form. Literally like a Pokémon's evolution into a stronger form.
-If pressed onto someone's heart, it would turn them into a Paragon of what they are, amplifying everything that they are to new heights.
-If thrown at an enemy, it would explode and cause massive damage.
-If thrown at an ally, it would dissolve and heal them of all wounds, fatigue, diseases and poisons.
-If exchanged for money to a wealthy person or oganization, it will be paid for very generously regardless of who buys it, but limited to their actual wealth.
-If held in hand and crushed, it will provide a single wish and then crumble away.
In all cases... it will be destroyed after use.

"I see." Miyuki said pocketing the item for use later.

(OOC: If you need to identify it, just call it "Q's Gift".)
"Anything good?" Natsumi asked her friend.
Behind them, Laforge announced: "All systems back to normal, captain."
"Excellent. Proceed with the repairs", Picard stated.

"Just a trinket that can do me a favor once." She said.

"Oh, that's all? ...Hm. Sounds... a bit disappointing", she said, frowning.
"Miss Miyuki, Miss Natsumi...?" Picard asked. "As soon as the repairs are completed, we will proceed to bring you back to Earth. As the captain of the Enterprise and its crew, however, I would like to offer you my utmost thanks for helping us against the Borg. If there is anything we can do for you... then please let us know."

"Well I don't know about you, but a way to return back to our own dimension, or at least the proper time period would suffice." Miyuki said as she helped each raccoon onto her shoulders.
