Storyline
Announcement
Q’s intervention has turned the galaxy on its head and what might have started as a way for him to kill boredom has the galaxy on the brink of war! It’s time to set things right! [1]
Prologue
- Reunion Raffi: "Finally, another Federation ship! Listen Captain, we have a situation here. Maquis colonists and rebel fighters alike have disappeared from their homeworlds and appeared aboard ships of various factions. And they've decided to take their grievances up with anyone nearby."
- Sanctuary Booker: "Things aren't looking much better for our relationship with the Dominion. Apparently the Founders blame 'the Solids' for this mix-up and say they're ready to impose order if we can't."
- CMO Bashir: "Well, that just tracks with everything else going on today, doesn't it? We're on the verge of another Dominion War and Section 31 isn't helping matters. Operatives have been taking full advantage of the chaos to advances their own agendas."
- Judge Q: "Ah, you humans. So quick to celebrate your peace, so ignorant to how fragile it really is. Well, Captain, you have a lot of people counting on you. What will you do? Put on a good show for me - or maybe you're just content to watch the galaxy burn."
Intermission
- Judge Q: "Well, that was certainly amusing. Captain, the Federation has you running like a dog, you really should request a pay increase. ..oh, that's right, they don't actually pay you, do they? Just in warm fuzzies and replicated pseudo-food.""
- Bridge Officer Troi: ""The Federation has moved past the need to rely on currency in order to keep society in motion. We work hard to maintain peace, while focused on progress and exploration. You have the whole galaxy's attention, Q. What is it you really want?""
- Judge Q: "What a sappy, canned sentiment, even for a Betazoid. What l'd like is to know is what the Captain here thought of my offering. Admit it, I brought some entertainment in to your humdrum little life, didn't I?""
- Choice A:
- Captain: "You criticize us, yet you're the one who relies on our strife for your petty fun."
- Reunion Raffi: "Clearly, he's the perfect example of what happens when you have too much time on your hands. Why don't you actually try to earn that command uniform you're always strutting around in, Q, and do something useful for once?"
- Choice B:
- Captain: "You have a strange idea of 'entertainment'."
- Sanctuary Booker: "Yeah, no kidding. Are all the Q like this?"
- Choice C:
- Captain: "Hell yeah, let's do this again next month!"
- Resigned Picard: "I'm not sure if you're being sincere or sarcastic, but l urge you not to provoke him. I'm still seeking several good friends, as well as Number One."
- Graduation Amanda Grayson: "We will come together and restore the galaxy to the way it was, by working together and setting aside our differences. You've been vital to this mission so far, Captain. Let's see it through to the end."
Epilogue
- Picard and Number One: "Thank you, Captain. Because of your efforts, it appears people across the galaxy have been reunited with their loved ones. Let's hope Q refrains from such a childish stunt in the future."
- Judge Q: "Oh, come now Picard, you can't say my interference hasn't made your kind more grateful for your so-called "loved ones'. Though, if you're all going to be so humorless, I suppose l'll find others to amuse me. It has been awhile since l visited fluidic space."
