Oh boy. You had me going for awhile there.geordi_laforgeJune 27 2003, 01:53:07 UTC
Those things you said in the beginning, they had me worried. Afraid even. Destroys whole cubes? Unlimited power? But then I saw "Q", and I had to wonder why that hadn't occurred to me sooner.
I don't understand it, but once I knew you were talking about the Q, I wasn't so worried anymore. That's probably really, incredibly stupid, but there it is. Maybe because the Q are a known threat? Familiarity tends to make one let down their guard.
Or maybe it's because I don't associate "Robin Hood" with destroying entire civilizations. I'm sure the Q we know best on the E, as well as other Q, have done that or maybe worse. I just don't want to know about it.
That is what's great about seeing things from your prospective, Hugh. Being more literal-minded, you remind me of stuff that I need to remember. It must have been pretty scary, knowing what you know about them, and then meeting one of them alone face-to-face.
But if you want my opinion on what I'd do in your place, I'd be happy offer it. Because I'm human this is going to be a human's approach, though. I'd say hi, for starters. Did she do anything that you would consider threatening? Just from the information you gave me, it doesn't sound like anything bad.
As a matter of fact, what she did was give you a compliment. Which a human might respond to with "thanks", depending on the human. *grins* Besides, she's right, you are pretty cute, in your way.

Yes, it is really, incredibly stupid.
As it happens you can probably get away with it. We are territorial, and humans are mine. And I find your civilization too entertaining to destroy, despite its lack of barbeque onion potato chips with ridges.
But it's not good advice to give your non-human pals.

Yes, but I was the Sheriff. Picard was Robin Hood.

I've never destroyed any civilizations that weren't too stupid to live. And most of the time the majority of the population lived after the civilization fell, and perhaps were able to build a new civilization that wasn't quite so unrelentingly moronic.
amanda_the_q is a mere child, and a fairly wussy one at that. She most likely will not dump you in fluidic space or on top of Unimatrix 02 if you reject her. But you're quite right to be concerned, Hughie. We are never "safe."
Not on the E, they don't.qcontinuumJune 27 2003, 18:18:41 UTC
I checked last time I was there. Dunno if you people deleted them out of the replicator for being disgusting, but there are no barbeque onion potato chips with ridges in the E's replicator.
And your civilization has also lacked Coca-Cola for two hundred years.

So we're definitely talking about Amanda here? Well, even so--and I hate to admit it--but Q's right, your first reaction of caution and concern was the correct one. Now that I really think about it, anyone that can think you dead is someone you want to be careful around.

I hope I helped.

We have those. -Hello-, replicator!
Granted, they're -foul- and starchy and onions are not good unless grilled, but we have them.
