So, Commander, how was your little trip? Did I grant your wish to save everyone on your path?

Q
Dialogue
I must admit, you surprised me! I was waiting for you to throw up your hands and beg for help, and yet you persevered. Maybe I was a tad too strict with you… Nope. Not at all.

Your actions caused immense damage to innocent people and led to their suffering. You people when required, but hurting people to be their savior is not only amoral but also cruel.

Just as I suspected, you haven’t learned your lesson. Go on, Commander. Say it to my face.

No, as long as you can recognize and fix your faults. And with the power of yours, that is not even a challenge. The planets that your powers destroyed can be restored. Lives saved. Fates changed.

Q
Dialogue
You’re correct. As much as I hate to admit, you were right to compare me to humans. I judged them for their crimes, and yet I’m as responsible for the atrocities I’ve created. I’ll fix it.

I detect temporal changes. Collecting data… Commander, we have travelled back in time. All the planets we’ve encountered – Dadov, Uizoiak, and AV356 – are safe and back to the pre-catastrophic state.

Q

Yes, I did. Great teachers always learn from their mistakes, don’t they? Well, here’s one point to me – I remained, in fact, an amazing tutor. Responsible, smart, cunning, and loved by all.

You’re not the worst student of mine, Commander. There’re yet things for you to learn, but, alas, too much homework before the apprentice can become the master.

I shall depart. Remember my lessons, clean your teeth, wash your hands, and so on. Try not to miss me too much, Commander – I don’t like pouty faces. Ta-ta!

So that wasn’t enough? Then I have something much better in store for you, Commander. Any last words, before I punish you for disobedience?

Dialogue
Teaching is not about punishing others into docility. It is guiding towards the better version of the student. The Q Continuum claimed you were a bad tutor not because your teachings were wrong.

They saw your actions as irresponsible, causing trouble to those involved. But you are a parent now, Q. It is your duty to show that your choices make a difference. The power you yield can be decisive.

I’m omnipotent; I see the past, the future, and the now of everything in the Galaxy. And yet you deny my lesson, my impeccable guidance! How foolish of you, Commander. Plain stupid.

Your lesson was to make the Commander realize that saving the others is futile when a grand plan of Q is in the works. Do I understand that correctly?
