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. ]
hischair: (isn't what was planned but.)

He sent me flowers.

[How suspicious of them should she be?]

What powers does he have still? Is there anything to do to prevent him from becoming bored?
hischair: (seriously listen to me.)

That's not the point I'm making. You shouldn't have to be, can't we figure out a way to share the responsibility? I don't like the idea of him harassing you all the time.
candothat: (OMFG)

Can he alter living things at the molecular level?

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

[Were this the bridge of the Enterprise, Spock would be standing beside a seated Kirk, hands behind his back, surveying the viewscreen. Instead, he's got this video message, somehow looking a bit more serious than usual.]

We are at your disposal, Captain.

They came with an apology that I get the feeling wasn't as genuine as he made it out to be.

[Good, so she will follow her gut on this one.]
hischair: (you'll do fine. probably.)

[ It's always reassuring when Spock chimes in, even when it's by viewscreen alone. Jim could go next door and find him but this is (mildly entertaining, in its own way) satisfactory enough. ]

I'm not setting Q loose on anyone if I can help it.

[ what do you think the rest of voyager's crew has been doing every time q's turned up? washed their hands of the issue and said "good luck, captain?" 8| ]

This isn't an isolated incident with a normal offender. He displays a level of infatuation cadets show.

[ puppy love. it makes him sick. and bothers the hell out of him. ]

I'd suggest letting it rest. [ aka the captain's made her decision, no one's been able to change things and make q behave before this, good luck if you think you can now. ]

I advise determining the limits of his current abilities, and if necessary, devising a suitable method of containment.
hischair: (don't chase the rabbit.)

[ Chakotay, you are like a bloodhound for Kathryn-centric topics, Jim swears it. ]

All credit due to the experience behind your advice, Commander, but I'm not okay with that.

I'm not asking. [ DON'T GET JIM STARTED. ] Commander Spock thinks it's worth testing the limits of Q's suppressed abilities, perhaps you could apply your know-how to his pragmatism.

We defer to your expertise, nonetheless, the offer of assistance remains open.

[Don't think he doesn't spot the whole "captain must do this alone!!" complex. He deals with Kirk, ok.]
hischair: (enough and just. trust me.)

You're not exactly being very forthcoming beyond "He's a pain in the ass with a bunch of tricks up his sleeve". It's not going to be good enough to tell me and my crew to sit back and let some crazy entity take a piece out of you and yours whenever he feels like it.
logistical: (face off)

[Spock tilts his head slightly in Kirk's direction.] What the Captain said. We are all potential targets, and we must not be caught unawares by such an enemy.

[ wow. rude. ]

Do you want to end up as oprelian amoebas if you guess wrong? This Q is responsible for first contact with the most lethal species we have ever encountered [ and that's counting the vidiians and the freaking hirogen. ] because he was bored. And she's beaten even them. Going against her right now is not a good move and if Q gets bored? Encounters with lethal species happen.

[ sadly this is him stepping in to save both kirk's life and his friendship with kathryn. sigh. ]
hischair: (you could do the thing.)
