I was hoping it wouldn't come to this, but seeing as his presence in the City doesn't appear to be a temporary situation, you have a right to know who — and what — you're dealing with. Some of you may have already met him during the "visitors" weekend, wherein he was claiming to be Captain Jean-Luc Picard. He isn't. His name is Q, a member of an omnipotent race of being that exist outside our temporal plane. Under normal circumstances, the Q have unlimited control over space, matter, and time. They know what has been, what will be, what could be, and what should be.

This Q in particular has something of a soft spot for Humans, and has taken it upon himself on more than one occasion to teach humanity a lesson or two about the wonders of the galaxy. He's required reading for starship captains, and my crew has already been briefed on his appearances on Picard's Enterprise. We've also had the misfortune of having dealt with his... antics on more than one occasion. I urge you not to trust anything that he says, to keep in mind that anything he offers to do for you does not come without cost, that in all likelihood, whatever he wants to "offer" you will somehow be beneficial to himself.

He appears to be somewhat neutralized at the moment. Some of his powers are intact, but not all. He still poses a threat, could still turn our worlds upside down with a snap of his fingers if provoked or bored enough to do. I've taken it upon myself to keep him occupied, but he's something of a loose cannon and cannot always be controlled.

If you have any questions in regards to Q, do not hesitate to ask. My crew and I are available to assist in clearing up whatever messes and misunderstandings he happens to cause.

[ and he will. it's only a matter of time. ]

Well, good luck to him getting his special snowflake powers back to the extent that he can toss a lethal species at us, because the playing field has been leveled. This nexus has seen to that already.

[ No, because Jim will step up to save you Voyagerians from Q, how about that. ACCEPT HIS FRIENDSHIP!! ]

With respect, Captain Janeway, I would prefer we avoid the experience entirely, but that does not entail using you or your crew as a shield. I urge you to see logic and offer us information and tactics that will enable us to act and safeguard our crew and yours.

Captain Kirk will no doubt agree with me.
chakotay: ({ I may seem crazy)

With the way the Q are, and this one especially, I wouldn't be surprised if he still could. He won't hurt Kathryn because he cares about her. If you get in his way or any of your crew, he won't be that nice.

[ fine. FINE. this is him washing his hands of it. DON'T SAY HE DIDN'T WARN YOU. ]
hischair: (gonna do the thing.)

[ WAIT, INQUIRING MINDS WANT TO KNOW. ]

What do you mean, he cares? Are you saying Q has a crush on her?
hischair: (oh c'mon.)

I do. Spock's got a point. At some point, Q's going to find us a novelty just because we're from another Enterprise. Hell, you guys did, and we're talking about a hyperactive being with ADD and no solid classification here.

[Spock just sort of. Stares. And then gathers himself.]

Please elaborate.

Currently?

And he would be as willing to destroy us as you imply in your other communications?

[Not that he's stalking the shit storm going on, except he totally is.]

The Continuum?

[He's trying to be careful here. This is clearly a touchy subject.]

He'll have to do a lot more than just an apology to gain my trust.

[She's curious on what he's done in the past, but she can already see Jim and Spock trying to get blood from a turnip. That's their jobs. She just listens in and follows their leads.]

Thank you for the notice. I'll keep my distance. And, hopefully, he'll keep his.

[She sees what you are doing there, Janeway, and she likes it.]

Then that makes him just like us.

[ You're right, Picard would have posted a general alert to the entire City within seconds of his arrival.

It's lucky he can't see this, really. Ranks too high on the list of ways to feed his ego.

So the basic idea that I am getting from our conversation is whatever he says, the opposite of that actually happened.

[And it's after this that Spock finds his way to Kirk's side, and shows him the message, expecting him to come to the same conclusion Spock just did, or at least, provide more information on the subject. Humans, honestly.]
