Outsmarted. Oh, the pain and humiliation.

Feb 08, 2009 10:27

OOC: Crossposted from theatrical_muse, today.

Prompt 269: Write about a time you were outsmarted.

Do I have to?

Oh, all right. They say a little humility is good for the soul... not that I have a soul, technically, and I'm pretty sure I don't have any humility either, but I'll try to fake it.

( How I was outsmarted by a pathetic, inferior human being )

Do you know who the Q from the future is?

It would rather miss the point of knowing everything if I didn't, wouldn't it?

I just wonder if that Q hadn't said anything...

I'm not sure if the Q are subject to time paradoxes or not, but it seems like that Q may have actually caused his comment to come true.

Well, yes, it is possible for us to create temporal loops within our own timeline; the difference between us and you lowly creatures is that we know exactly what we're doing when we do it.

Of course, I really can't imagine *why* a Q could *possibly* have wanted to create a timeline where the Continuum is transformed through the influence of humanity... One would almost think that such a being would have to be both desperately bored *and* highly enamored of the concept of change, while also being at least mildly fond of humans. I can't *imagine* a Q who meets all *those* criteria...
