Independent, your scans are showing several crew members of that ship are incapacitated. They’re going to need assistance in order to prepare for evacuation. Beam me over so that I can help them.

We’ll see about that when the time comes…

We’ll see about that, will we? Insolent little imp. It would be so easy to just leave you there to meet your end.

Q, kindly control your baser instincts. If you recall, we require Romi’s trust and assistance.

Yes, yes, I’m aware of that. I was just– Wait, there appear to be more pressing matters developing. Your ship’s systems have detected several hostile vessels emerging from warp.

Captain Mendes was correct – they have returned to claim salvage over the ship’s cargo. Prepare to engage!

Now this is more like it! Have at them, Independent!

Mendes and her crew are being processed and should make a full recovery soon. It looks like we did a good job out there today.

Now that I’ve wasted more of my time helping these mortals from their trivial perils, perhaps you’d see fit to lower your defenses?

Romi
Dialogue
Alright, I can see that you’re desperate. And if the Independent is willing to vouch for you, then I suppose I can be convinced that you’re not up to something… What is it that you want from me?

Q
Dialogue
I need your help to find my son. If his word is to be believed, and he has in fact managed to resurrect a near-extinct species, then we need to verify if he’s been successful or not.

Q

The casualties incurred by your people following your encounter with the Borg were counted in their millions. Assuming that my son’s attempts to resurrect them were successful, where could they be?

There’s only one logical choice… Our homeworld.

There you are! I was starting to think that you’d lured me into some kind of trap, Q.

Oh, please. Don’t tempt me! Are the crew ready for departure?

Yes, just get us out of here! I don’t know how much longer this ship is going to hold out.

Ah, here we are. Standby for transport. Now, what’s that word you mortals say when you do this… Energizing!

Independent, you… You saved our lives. I’m eternally in your debt.

Your gratitude is acknowledged. However, we are not yet finished. Several of your crew members require immediate medical assistance. Laying in a course for the nearest medical outpost.

Romi
Dialogue
Wait, so let me get this straight. You’re telling me that your son, another Q, is mistakenly blaming the Continuum for somehow sending the Borg to destroy our homeworld?
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Romi
Dialogue
And, as a means of rewriting the history of our people and making amends between the Q and the El-Aurians, he may have succeeded in his attempts to resurrect the entire El-Aurian species?
Objective ID

Phase

Romi
Dialogue
Now you need me to guide the Commander here back to my homeworld to see if your son was successful. Am I reading all of this correctly?

Character
Q
Dialogue
Is that all really so hard to believe? Trust me, if the Q Continuum hadn’t taken a precaution of limiting my powers while we try to find my son, I wouldn’t be standing here speaking with you now.

Q
Dialogue
As much as it pains me to say… We need you, Romi. I need you. If you can help us find these El-Aurians, then you may be able to help us find my son before the Q Continuum does.

How do I know that this isn’t just some ruse? The beginning of another one of your little games that you were so delighted in tormenting Captain Picard with?

Because you listened. You heard this disturbance reverberate throughout the space-time continuum. Because you’ve felt it. I know you have.

Commander, I have intercepted an incoming distress beacon. A nearby civilian vessel has come under attack by hostile forces. Their ship is stranded and requires immediate evacuation.

Q
Dialogue
How fortunate! For me, I mean. It’s dreadful for those involved. Still, this is the perfect opportunity to prove to dear Romi here that I mean no harm.

And what makes you think that?

Q
Dialogue
I don’t make a habit of attempting to aid lower beings from their predicaments. However, if I man the transporters, I can help you recover the survivors. You see where I’m going with this?

Character
Romi
Dialogue
Altruism from a Q. I never thought I’d live to see the day. I think we can figure this out later. For now, we need to help those people. Lay in a course, Independent.

Mendes
Dialogue
I can only assume that you’ve intercepted our distress call. The attackers have regrouped and left us here to die, but they’ll be back at any moment to claim our cargo as salvage.

Your vessel has sustained significant damage. Without immediate repairs, you may not survive the evacuation process.

Mendes
Dialogue
Dammit… I know we’re asking a lot here, but if you could provide 5M Tritanium, we may be able to seal these breaches and buy back enough time to evacuate.
