I had a feeling that this was what you were planning, son. You’re sending Soran into the Nexus, aren’t you?

Q Junior
Dialogue
It’s all he ever wanted. To be reunited with his family in the Nexus. He may not have much time left, but in the Nexus, it should feel like years… Like a natural end to the life that was taken from him.

After all of this? I just want to return to the Continuum. I can see now that I was wrong to meddle with death in the manner that I did. Whatever punishment the Continuum deems fit, I accept it.

There… He’s gone. I suppose it’s time for me to return to the Continuum so that they can turn me into a single-celled microbe or something equally pathetic?

That will be for the Continuum to decide, boy. But… Well, I suppose that I can ask them to go easy on you. After all, you’ve done a lot of growing up here today.

I couldn’t leave Soran on that ship to die alone. You don’t understand him, father. He just wanted to be with his family and his people again. Even if he was a little… misguided.

Dispense with the self-pity, Soran. It benefits neither of us. You know damn well that the boy in your company must be returned to the Q Continuum at once!

This boy is nothing without me! In the absence of my guidance and tutelage, he would be left to rot in some other plane of existence, devoid of meaning. Here, with me, he is given purpose!

All of you, stop this bickering! You all speak of the boy as if he’s property. He is an individual with agency and a voice of his own. We should hear what he has to say!

You can still help me. If we cannot truly restore the glory of the El-Aurian civilization, then we can lay it to rest once and for all. And I have exactly what I need in my possession to make that happen!

The good captain is indeed correct. Needless to say, if Soran fires that weapon into the sun of this system, well… None of us will be making it out of here alive. Destroy it.
