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.

[Because Chekov likes his molecules in--well, not their current locations since quantum physics lol, but not scrambled by bored demigods.]

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.]

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

It's... well, in this instance when I say Continuum, I'm referring to the whole of Q society. The judges and jury of the galaxy, so to speak. Q isn't the only Q, and his behavior most certainly doesn't represent that of every Q in existence. He's something of a rogue, and the Continuum doesn't always approve of his actions.

[It also sounds like a headache. Chekov would be perfectly happy to stay out of Q's way.]
Would the Continuum be capable of creating a place like the City? Perhaps this Q was placed here among us as a punishment--for him, I mean, not us, although this seems to be a punishment for you, also.

[ or teach everyone else a lesson. wait until she's having a truly awful day and she'll start telling herself that he was sent here to teach her a lesson, for guilt is her worst enemy and it eats at her in silence. ]

[It's a shame that she doesn't think that these beings are responsible for the City, though. That would have been a significant lead.]
What can we do to minimize the damage he may cause, or to prevent it? Other than what you have said already--not trusting him, not accepting what he offers.

[ like quinn, who'd been at woodstock and on the other side of the tree when the apple fell on sir isaac newton's head. ]
There's nothing you can do at the moment, but I'll let you know when there is. [ she's doing precisely that in the meantime, so please just accept that she knows what she's doing and will ask for help when and if she needs it instead of questioning her judgement like your superiors. ]

Aye, Captain Janeway. Thank you.
[Chekov is nothing if not obedient when given direct orders that make complete sense to him.]

...well, sort of. using tranquilizers is always a responsible course of action. ]

...considering he isn't getting along with kirk or spock, how's second favorite? ]
