We are too late – the Enterprise has departed already. I will contact the station to check if they have information on the Enterprise’s next point of destination.

Commander, Maia! Didn’t expect you to stop by here! What brought you to Starbase 7?

We are seeking the Enterprise, lieutenant. Are you aware of their current location?

Sure! Captain Picard is engaged in a diplomatic mission in Verex.

But why did he leave you behind?

Dialogue
He didn’t leave me behind, Maia. This station had been infected with a cascade virus leading to power issues, and I volunteered to stay and help. After all, I’m an engineer, not a diplomat.

But you may be of help to the Captain right now, so don’t waste your time here. Tell the crew that I said hello!

Commander, did you hear that? A subtle whisper was calling for your attention, sourcing from a pocket dimension right above your ear.

I mustn’t attract attention, Commander, so listen closely – I need you to arrive at Earokij and seek a gateway to the Q Continuum.

Would it not be more efficient if you transported us to the Continuum immediately? What is the reason for such secrecy?

No time to explain! Get there, find the immovable ship, destroy it, and get to me. Now!

The pocket dimension has collapsed, Commander. If Q requests our help, and in such a cryptic way, we must address this immediately. Setting a course for the Earokij system.

Q mentioned that we must find and destroy an immovable ship. Extensive system scans have revealed a vessel that remains static and emits temporal energy – the only object correlating with Q’s description.

Dialogue
The vessel’s crew does not respond to our hails – there are no crew bio-signs at all. This confirms our theory. Prepare to engage!

Understood. Setting a following course. We are lucky that the Takret Militia appreciates bribery. Otherwise, we could have caused unnecessary harm.

We’ve arrived. Dock your vessel here, and don’t try anything – I’m keeping my eyes on you.

Commander, we have successfully docked right by the Enterprise. It has no structural damage despite being held captive. Opening channel.

We need your help, Captain. However, I assume you need ours first. How did the Takret Militia overpower a vessel like the Enterprise?

They didn’t, Commander. We have surrendered ourselves.

Commander, the Enterprise is held hostage at one of the system’s planets patrolled by hostile Takret Militia. If this is a diplomatic mission, we should approach them carefully. Weapons down.

There is an incoming hail from one of the Takret vessels. Patching through.

Well, well, well. Starfleet has called for some backup? One tiny ship won’t change our minds! Get out of here before I blow your little craft to tiny pieces!

We do not mean you harm. We only intend to contact Captain Picard, and then we will leave your space.

Right, right. But you'll need my protection if you want to reach that hostage vessel. Others will show you no mercy, so you shouldn’t deny my offer.

Commander, the explosion of the ship has activated a spatial anomaly. We are being pulled through a tear in space-time!

Performing safety checks. All of our systems are online and working as expected. Since we have not suffered any structural damage, it is safe to assume we were meant to pass through the tear.

Exactly. Welcome to the Q Continuum, Commander. You must excuse me for the intricacy of your journey and that little extra puzzle: I have good reasons to secure our home.

What could endanger the Q Continuum? There is practically nobody capable of causing you harm.

Q
Dialogue
Except for our own kind. A Civil War split our society, and despite the peace established with the birth of Q Junior, some just can’t put foolish ideas to rest!

Q
Dialogue
I’m talking about the Freedom Faction, of course. They didn’t disappear completely, those fools. We know they’re out there, hiding, planning, and scheming to ruin our beautiful world!
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Q
Dialogue
The Continuum is closed for them, but they might slip in the cracks of dimensions like you did – thus, all the locks. They’ve hushed their powers, waiting to ambush us, destroy us… We must act first!
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Q
Dialogue
Our powers will alert them, so we need you, a mortal, to scout their hideout and tell us where to strike before they do. And when you find them, send me a message: that would avoid the Faction’s suspicion.

This task is practically impossible! Where should we… Commander, our ship is passing through yet another tear in space-time. We are back at our original coordinates.
Objective ID

Dialogue
It is unfeasible for us to do this task alone, so we need someone susceptible to the presence of Q – an El-Aurian. And we happen to be acquainted with one.

Dialogue
I suggest having our next stop at Starbase 7 – this, according to the public Starfleet data, was the last place where the Enterprise was docked. Departing immediately.
