Q as DM is a wash as far as I’m concerned: they’re the same picture.
With that out of the way, this could go a bunch of different ways, but here’s my most OP squad:
Pike
Riker
Data
Scotty
EMH
Worf
… and my most dysfunctional squad:
Shaw
Beckett
B-4
Tilly
T’Ana
Reed
Edit: if anyone is looking for a lightweight RPG framework to get this kind of thing moving fast, may I recommend “lasers and feelings.”. The rules are just one page.
I can see that. Really, I just wanted to maximize confusion, in-fighting, and a general “I’m not great at my job” energy. Because RPGs get really interesting when things aren’t going well.
I also thought about a “PTSD team”, which would be at least Sisko, O’brien, and Picard. I wasn’t sure who else would fill out that roster though.

Gimme those B-squad antics any day. Somehow, I can see Mariner having no problem following orders from Shaw.

Stamets and Nog
Maybe Kira as well? She surely has some complex ptsd from the occupation.
She bounced back pretty quick, but if nothing else, she’d be the voice to help them keep their shit together.
