Captain log supplemental we are no closer to finding a solution to the deteriorating
orbit of the Braille Four moon but with the arrival of Q we now
have a good idea of the cause. Our options we've done everything by the
book and a little extra we need more time or power and we're
short on both. I'll take a look and see if there any
rules I haven't broken keep me informed.
We know you're behind this Q these aren't my colors and what are you
blathering about Riker. What kind of twisted pleasure does it
give you to bring terror into their lives.
Whose lives? The millions of people down there who are watching as their moon
falls out of the sky now. I haven't the vaguest idea what you're talking about
and I have a much more serious problem. I'm no longer a member of the continuum
my superiors have decided to punish me punish us as well it would seem they say.
I've spread chaos through the universe and they've stripped me of all my powers.
You don't believe me? Do you do you think I would humiliate myself like this?
If it served your purpose yes it's the truth.
I stand before you defrocked condemned to be a member of this lowest of species
a normal imperfect lumpen human being they made.
you human as part of your punishment.
No it was my request? I could have chosen to exist as a Markovian Sea Lizard
or a Belzoidian Flea anything I wished as long as it was mortal and since I had
only a fraction of a second to mull. I chose this and asked them to bring me
here why because in all the universe you're
the closest thing I have to a friend on Jean-Luc.
Sir he is reading as fully human. What is there an echo in here.
I am sensing an emotional presence captain.
I would normally describe it as being terrified.
How rude. What is it you want Q? Your compassion.
All right sanctuary on this ship dreary as it may sound to the both of us.
Return that moon to its orbit I have no powers.
Q the ordinary Q the liar the misanthrope
Q the miserable Q the desperate. W must I do to convince you people?
Die oh very clever wharf eat any good books
lately Fine you want to be treated as human
absolutely all right Mr. Work throw him in the
brig. Delighted captain. You can't do this to
me Jean-Luc. You will walk or I will carry you given
the option i'll i'll walk you disappointed me Jean-Luc. I'm very
disappointed hey i'm claustrophobic i don't like it in here
it was a mistake i never should have been human.
I knew at the moment I said it think of a future in this shell.
Forced to cover myself with a fabric because of some outdated human morality
to say nothing being too haunted too cold growing
feeble with age and losing my hair catching a disease
being ticklish sneezing having an itch a pimple bad breath
having to bathe too bad.
Klingon I should have said Klingon in my heart of hearts I am a Klingon Worf.
Sorry so you understand I could never survive in confinement.
I mean this is cruel and unusual punishment the universe has been my
backyard as a fellow Klingon if you would speak
to the captain on my behalf I would be eternally grateful.
Which doesn't mean as much as it used to I admit be quiet
or disappear back where you came from I can't disappear.
Any more than you could win a beauty contest.
If I were to ask you a very simple question. Do you think you might be able
to answer it without it troubling your intellect too much?
Ready here goes would I permit you to lock me away if I still had all my
powers you have fooled us too often queue oh
perspicacity incarnate please don't feel compelled now to tell me the story of
the boy who cried wolf. Computer activate force field.
I demand to be let out of here do you hear me you will deactivate this cell
immediately.
Romulan!
I should have said Romulan not Klingon.
