It’s the outsider! You should not have come back here. Your presence has angered the Great Ribbon! The only way to appease its fury is through prayer and sacrifice!

A fine specimen! She shall make for a most worthy offering. There’s no need for bloodshed here, I’ll take her as she is. I prefer the blood to be flowing through her veins rather than all over my robes, you know.

P-please, take her. Allow this humble offering to be a token of our reverence. Let it be a symbol of our devout worship of the Great Ribbon. May you bless us and grant us fortune and good tidings.

Your devout worship has been observed, and shall be rewarded. I come to you with a bountiful harvest that will enrich and nurture the people of Veridian I. It’s in the cargo bay of this outsider’s ship.

Wonderful! Don’t forget to include a statue of me. Be sure to capture the resplendence of my impeccable ensemble. And make sure the sun hits me on the left. That’s my good side.

Next, I bring you a cache of Tritanium. Use it to bolster your fleet so that unbelievers dare not cross your paths.

The powers above have granted us the power to take our ships to the stars themselves! Our fleet will make pilgrimages to the Great Ribbon!

Q

Yes, well, be careful with that. I wouldn’t get too close if I were you. Ships tend to not survive the closer encounters with the Nex– I mean, the Ribbon.

Just nod and smile, dear. That is, of course, unless you want to be ritualistically sacrificed in order to appease a celestial energy ribbon?

Q
Dialogue
How… clinical of you. But yes, I suppose that’s one way of putting it. There’s been somewhat of an incident involving Junior. He’s… well, he’s gone missing.

Character
Q
Dialogue
The boy has recently been studying the history of the Q Continuum. I’m sure you can imagine how interesting that can be when you’re dealing with a species who does not experience linear time.

Phase

Character
Q
Dialogue
A harmless endeavor, to be certain. However, there was something in those records that troubled him deeply. Now, he’s gone missing and we cannot locate him. He is using his powers to hide from us.

Maia
Dialogue
What do you think he could be doing?
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Q
Dialogue
That’s what I’m trying to find out. Our kind has sensed ripples in the space-time continuum. Whatever Junior is trying to do out there, the Q Continuum will not tolerate one of their own acting alone.

You are an omnipotent being, Q. Surely you could use your powers to find him?
Objective ID
676,803,258
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Q
Dialogue
How kind of you to notice. But no, as loath as I am to admit it, the remainder of the Continuum have seen fit to limit my powers until Junior can be secured. They aren’t convinced that I’m not involved.

With your past, could you blame them?

Q

Now is not the time to wax philosophical, Independent. My son is out there alone and confused. I need to find out what he’s been doing. Now, are you going to help me or not!?

We may be able to assist you. Our recent travels to the Veridian system involved a close encounter with an unidentified being close to the Nexus.

He was wearing a Starfleet uniform, yet displayed the characteristics and powers of a Q. He warned us not to return.

What!? You knew where my son was, and all this time instead of telling me, you’ve just been sitting around this dusty relic of a Station, playing with bounty hunters!?

Q

No, don’t try to apologize. I’m utterly beside myself with rage. However, if you can escort me to the Veridian system, then I suppose I could be convinced into forgiving you.

Commander, we are receiving an incoming transmission from the surface of Veridian I. Vash is attempting to contact us.

Vash? Now, that’s a name I haven’t heard for some time. I’m sure that she’ll be simply delighted at the prospect of a reunion. I know I am.

I am sure she will be elated to see you. Opening a channel.

Vash
Dialogue
Independent, you’ve got to help me! The Tirikans are in a panic. They’re convinced that the “Great Ribbon” is angry with them. They want to use me in a ritual sacrifice to appease it!

Find a place to hide and stay there. We will be with you momentarily.

You didn’t even let me speak with her! Nonetheless, it would seem that she needs our help.

Your priorities appear to have been altered, Q.

Oh, the boy is an omnipotent, all-powerful being. I’m sure he can wait a few more minutes. Vash and I have some catching up to do.

Q

Now, these Tirikans wish to commune with a god. And commune with a god they shall!

Q
Dialogue
Ah, much better. Not exactly my most fetching ensemble, but I’m sure it will duly impress the Tirikans.

Maia
Dialogue
Did you not tell us back at the Station that your powers were taken away by your kin?
Objective ID
825,544,341
Phase

Character
Q
Dialogue
The Q Continuum limited my powers. They didn’t relieve me of them entirely. I’m still capable of menial parlor tricks such as this. Which should be more than enough to dazzle those primitive savages.

Q
Dialogue
Now, if we’re done squabbling over semantics, I’d like you to set a course for Veridian I. It’s time they communed with this “Great Ribbon.”
