Commander, I’m happy to see you safe. I’m pleased to announce that we have found common ground with the Takrets, thanks to your help. How was your search?

We found everything we were looking for. In fact, we gained more than expected. Would you be able to accommodate six former Qs?

Q
Dialogue
Yes, my friend. You won’t get as much pleasure as you had with me, but those six have chosen to live a life akin to a human one, and I just knew how happy you would be to help them figure it out.

I taught them a thing or two about bodily needs, but they are yet to learn to hold a spoon or open doors. Keep away from forks, my friends.

No, no, I am myself too busy. Maybe let Guinan handle them: Ten Forward would look a bit more crowded for a change. As for now – ta-ta!

That’s a challenge and an opportunity – Deanna and I will witness a unique process of previously non-corporeal beings exploring the physical world. We’ll do everything to make them feel welcome.

We repeat our request: we want to cease being Q. The Freedom Faction wants mortality and no intervention from the Continuum.

Q
Dialogue
Even though you will suffer from pain, hunger, ailments, and emotions? Even though the only thing that awaits you is death? No control over your or others' lives, no travel through space-time at your whim?

Q
Dialogue
Quinn wasn’t the first to hold on to his dream, but he was the first to try and make it true. We know the price. We’re ready to pay for it.

I know just a place for all the newly-stripped-of-all-their-powers Qs. I’ll manage their next steps, my dear. Pinky promise.

Q
Dialogue
Then it’s settled. Freedom Faction, your members will lose all of the Q powers without a chance of getting them back. Peremptory. Your life will be your own. Do you agree to these conditions?

Commander, the Continuum forces have disappeared, and the Freedom Faction members are no longer bearing the bio-signal of Q. How are you feeling? Medical scans show signs of mild exhaustion.

We’re… We’re feeling new. Fragile. Powerless. We feel good, Commander. I feel good.

These new mortals will get hungry soon. Let’s make our way to the Enterprise – and I’ll tell your new friends all the essential things about mortal bodies. First and foremost – how to use the toilet…

Q! We never dared to hope that you would come! Will you protect us from the Continuum?

Maia
Dialogue
The Continuum claimed that you are a threat to them, but this does not seem so, considering your defensive actions and attempts to withhold your hideout. Why would they want to know your location?

Q
Dialogue
…one of the first Qs to become mortal, explored the limits of our kind, our Faction was looking for freedom from these shackles, from the staleness and lack of purpose for beings of immortality.

Quinn’s death has sparked the Civil War. And even though the peace was made…

Q
Dialogue
Not without my involvement, I must add.
Objective ID

Character
Q
Dialogue
…some of us remained adamant: we wanted mortality. Our only goal is to feel the pulse of a short life, find purpose in fighting time, enjoy the fleeting existence – and the eternity of non-existence.
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Q
Dialogue
The Continuum fears we will create yet another precedent and lead the Q to ruin, so they wish to cage us for all eternity to “protect” others from our ideas. But we’re not preaching, Independent.
Objective ID
1,341,856,757
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Q
Dialogue
We simply want to be heard. We don’t persuade, we don’t exhort, we don’t urge others. If anyone follows, that’s their wish.
Objective ID
1,341,856,757
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Maia
Dialogue
You are correct. We must find a way to convince the Continuum that the factionalists are not a threat and that fulfilling their wishes will resolve the tensions.
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Maia
Dialogue
Q, your advice is required, but we must make some distance first – this should be a private discussion.
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Q
Dialogue
My time aboard the Enterprise showed me the perils of mortal life and taught me how great and all-powerful I am in my Q form. And yet, I do miss it, even if once every hundred years.
Objective ID
1,593,768,274
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Q
Dialogue
The Freedom Faction is a faction of dreamers, Commander. You wouldn’t suppose eternal imprisonment is an appropriate penalty for a dream, would you?
Objective ID
1,593,768,274
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Maia
Dialogue
We would not. However, they might not realize all of the hardships that mortality brings. You have yourself suffered pain, fear of death, and the toil of the physical body.
Objective ID
1,593,768,274
Phase

Character
Maia
Dialogue
It might be reasonable to summon a Continuum representative and let the sides discuss the implications of each others’ actions.
Objective ID
1,593,768,274
Phase

Character
Q
Dialogue
There’s no need for that, Commander. They are already here. You might be too puny and insignificant to comprehend what’s about to happen, so here is a return of my favor. Enjoy while it lasts!
Objective ID

Character
Maia
Dialogue
Commander, our scanners and weapon systems have changed in an unexplainable way. We can now perceive Q as separate vessels, and our phasers and torpedoes will affect them.
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Maia
Dialogue
Speaking of which, a few Q Continuum vessels have approached the nebula. We must prevent the imprisonment of the Faction. Prepare for an interception!
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Q
Dialogue
Enough! Unless we end it now, we’ll repeat the mistakes of the Civil War. There’s no stopping until one of us succumbs, and we shouldn’t let death do us part. Weapons down, everyone.

Dialogue
Are you ready to start negotiations?
Objective ID
954,377,372
Phase

Character
Q
Dialogue
Yes, fine. Lead us, Commander. You, of all present here, must have experience with striking a deal.
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Q
Dialogue
Weren’t you planning to send me the message, Commander? Or are you blind as not to see that the nebula houses the Freedom faction?
Objective ID
963,519,797
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Maia
Dialogue
We successfully identified this dark matter nebula as a refuge for the Freedom Faction, but the Commander postponed the report. The Faction is not a threat to the Continuum; quite the opposite.
Objective ID
963,519,797
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Q
Dialogue
The opposite!? Their heretical philosophy will be the end of us! What if everyone decides to become a mortal? Our kind will perish – poof! – and disappear forever.
Objective ID
963,519,797
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Q
Dialogue
If everyone decides to do so, let them! We won’t control their lives, unlike you do. Our existence is a desert, void of every joy, of every discovery, of every purpose.
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Q
Dialogue
Let us have our mortality; we will disappear in a hundred years as if it has never happened.

Character
Q
Dialogue
Have you forgotten what happened when Quinn got his petty wish? He killed himself. Not only that, he killed the sanctity of our rules! And the following war claimed more victims of his madness.

Q
Dialogue
Q! You have witnessed the Civil War horrors – you were on the Faction’s side! And yet you remain the omnipotent being who brought peace to our kind.
Objective ID
963,519,797
Phase

Character
Q
Dialogue
I did, despite Quinn’s influence and teachings. Why wouldn’t others follow my example? The Freedom Faction has the right to be heard. It has the right to live the life they choose!
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Q
Dialogue
It’s not for you to decide! “Freedom Faction”, ha! An eternity of confinement should help you realize your mistakes and set you on the right path. Get them!

Phase

Character
Maia
Dialogue
Commander, the fleet of Q is advancing on the nebula. We should stop them before they get to the Freedom Faction!
