謎の生命体Qと対決するピカード。Qは不気味な言葉を残して去る。テレバスであるトロイ によれば、Qは余りに強力な精神をもつのか、あるいは人類とはかけ離れた生命体であるという。 ピカードはなんとかQを出し抜こうと試みるが

登場人物

Q:謎の生命体


Q: Rapid progress--where humans learned to control their military with drugs.
W: Sir. Sick bay reports Lieutenant Torres' condition is better.
Q: Oh, concerned for one's fellow comrade. How touching.
W: And now a personal request, sir. Permission to clean up the bridge.
Ta: Lieutenant Warf is right, sir. As security chief, I can't just stand here and let...
P: Yes, you can , Lieutenant Yar.
Q: Oh, better. And later, on finally reaching deep space, humans, of course, found enemies to fight out there, too. And to broaden those struggles, you again found allies for still more murdering. The same old story all over again.
P: No. The same old story is the one we're meeting now. Self-righteous life forms who are eager not to learn, but to prosecute, to judge anything they don't understand or can't torelate.
Q: What an interesting idea! Prosecute and Judge. Suppopse it turns out we understand you humans only too well.
P: We've no fear of what the true facts about us would reveal.
Q: Facts about you? Splendid, splendid, Captain. You're veritable a fountain of good ideas. There're preparations to make. But when we next meet Captain, we'll proceed exactly as you suggest.
W: Sir, respectfully submit our only choice is to fight.
Ta: Fight, or try to escape.
P: Sense anything, Commander?
De: Its mind is much too powerful. Recommend we avoid contact.
P: At this point, no station aboard, repeat, no station for any reason will make use of transmitted signals or intercom. We'll try and take them by surprise. Let's see what this galaxy class starship can do. Lieutenant, inform engine room to prepare for maximum acceleration.
W: Aye aye sir.
P: Records search, Data. Results of detaching saucer section at high warp velocity.
Da: Inadvisable at any warp speed, sir.
P: Search theoretical.
Da: It is possible. But absolutely no margin for error.
P: Using printout only. Notify all decks to prepare for maximum acceleration. Now hear this. Maximum you're entitled to know, means we'll be pushing our engines well beyond safety limits. Our hope is to surprise whatever that is out there, try and outrun it. Our only other option is to tuck tail between our legs and return to earth as they demand.
