突如現れたＱ。テクノロジーというか、その力は人類をはるかにしのぎ、想像を絶するほど です。そのＱが、人類に対してなにやら難しい注文をしています。
登場人物
| Jean-Luc Picard: | エンタープライズＤ艦長（今秋米公開の映画次作ではEです） |
| Deanna Troi: | カウンセラー（テレパスで、ライカーの元恋人） |
| Data: | アンドロイド（科学主任で第二副長） |
| Tasha Yar: | セキュリティー・チーフ |
| Worf: | セキュリティー、副チーフ（後のシーズンで主任になります） |
| Toras: | ブリッジの交代要員でしょうか |
| Q: | 謎の生命体 |
| To: | Something strange on this detector circuit. |
| Da: | It registers as solid, Captain. |
| De: | Or, an incredibly powerful force field. But if we collide with either, it could be very... |
| P: | Shut off that damn noise. Go to yellow alert. |
| W: | Shields and deflectors up, sir. |
| P: | Reverse power, full stop. |
| To: |
Controls to full stop, sir. Now reading full stop, sir. |
| Q: | Thou art(you are) notified that thy(your) kind hath(have) infiltrated the galaxy too far already. Thou art(You are) directed to return to thine(母音の前だから your) own solar system immeditely.(古語はIKKOさんの説明です） |
| P: | That's quite a directive. Would you mind identifying what you are? |
| Q: | Call ourselves the Q. Or thou mayest(you may) call me that. It's all much the same thing. I present myself to thee(you) as a fellowship captain that thou mayest better understand me. Go back whence thou camest(you came). Stay where thou art.(=Stay where you are) |
| P: | Data, call medics. |
| De: | He's frozen. |
| P: | He would not have injured you. You recognize this? The stun setting. |
| Q: | Knowing humans as thou(you) dost(do), captain, wouldst(would) thou(you) be catpured helpless by them? Now, go back, or thou(you) shalt most ceratinly die. |
| P: | Catptain's log supplementary. The frozen form of Lieutenant Torres has been rushed to sick bay. The question now is the incredible power of the Q being. Do we dare oppose it? |
| Q: | Captain, thy little centuries go by so rapidly. Perhaps thy will better understand this. Actually the issue at stake is patriotism. You must return to your world and put an end to the commies. All it takes are a few good men. |
| P: | What? That nonsense is centuries behind us. |
| Q: | But you can't deny that you're still a dangerous savage child race. |
| P: | Most certainly I deny it. I agree we still were when humans wore costumes like that, four hundred years ago. |
| Q: | At which time you slaughtered millions, in silly arguments about how to divide the resources of your little world. And four hundred years before that, you were murdering each other in quarrels over tribal God images. Since then there're no indications that humans will ever change. |
| P: | But even when we wore costumes like that, we'd already started to make rapid progress. |
| Q: | Oh, yeah? Do you want to review your rapid progress? |
