Commander, I am scanning the local area for whatever the next clue might be. However, it appears to be empt…

An unusual energy wave has just begun sweeping across the entire system. I cannot explain its origin.

It has disappeared. I cannot… Commander, all the vessels in the system have started opening fire on each other. This must be an effect of the energy wave.

My own security systems have protected our vessel and its crew. I may be able to use those same systems to dampen the effect everywhere, but I need time to put things in place.

However, that leaves a lot of angry ships with fully charged weapons out there. While I rig together a counter system, you will need to protect yourselves.

There. The energy wave I sent out is working. The remaining ships are standing their weapons down. There is much confusion.

Commander, I sense the whole hunt is a waste of time. A cosmic practical joke. I now firmly believe it is not worth completing the hunt at all.

Instead, I suggest the best thing to do is to return to the treasure beacon and start poking at it, to see what kind of reaction that gets.

Oh, don’t get sentimental. The colony’s not going to collapse just because a couple of the ants got squished.

They aren’t ants, Q. They are sentient. They think.

Can involuntarily bouncing after anything that vaguely sparkles really be called thinking?

Please, Q, put an end to this before any more ants get squished.

Commander, the fourth clue is pointing us towards the edge of Yunii space, but I continue to have serious misgivings about the entire enterprise.

Dialogue
The clues are frivolous, as if someone is making fun of us. Plus, the original wording to get people to the treasure beacon seems designed to cause a chaotic clamor.

Well, we’ve found a map to one such artifact. Why not take it for ourselves? Good question! We have evolved beyond the need for such things, so we gift it to you, children of the universe!

Commander, I was right. This entire situation has been concocted for their own amusement. And I know of only one entity with the power and reputation to be responsible. Q.

He has clearly decided to have some more fun at mortal expense. Making us all run around like hamsters in a maze. He must be confronted.
