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.

[ an apology made because she got onto him about masquerading as picard. ]

An act of convenience, more likely. Trying to gain favor and trust with those who haven't been privy to his stunts aboard the Enterprise — Picard's, that is.

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.

[ good girl, uhura. and since you're being 1000 times more civil than your male crewmates, she'll offer you a tip — ]

He doesn't like force fields.

[ Kathy, you Judas! ]

[ OH PLEASE THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS YOU LIKE ABOUT HER. SHE'S NOT PICARD. ]

[ 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. ]

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

Then that makes him just like us.

More or less, at least for the time being. He assures me he did nothing to irritate the Continuum to warrant being rendered as close to mortal as a Q's capable of getting, but... Let's just say there's more reason to believe he did than he didn't.

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

There's a reason he's known as the God of Lies on some worlds.

Also in this one.

[Okay, maybe just from her.]

Precisely.
