Doubtful eyes meet together. "General James Kirk." He took a breath and turned to look at Q suddenly, "What are you going to do? Let him go. If you move him, our history will be changed!"

"Be patient, friend." Q's expression is lively and lively, "I have no intention of tossing myself into a 'human' again. They are here for the same reasons as you, but unfortunately, the way I choose to travel is a bit abrupt ... Testify for me, let Luke. I have no malice towards them. Well, when you communicate with your senior, I can heal his two partners first."

He reached out to grab it, and Kirk, a bewildered Spock, and Dr. McCoy appeared at the side of the throne. Q grabbed the index fingers of Spock and McCoy, who kept protesting, aligned them like embroidery, squeezed the two fingers and said with a smile: "Close your eyes, shut your mouth, and relax. Now—start." With a crisp finger snap, Q raised his head and looked at the bald colonel as if asking for credit, "It will be ready soon."

The colonel gritted his teeth bitterly, turned to Kirk, and stood up straight: "General Kirk, or Captain Kirk—whatever you like to call me, I am Jean-Luke Picard, the captain of the Alliance Starfleet 'Enterprise' —after you, I command the fourth and fifth Enterprise."

"...Nice to meet you. What year is it in the interstellar date?" Kirk reached out and shook hands with his successor.

"Well, I suspect that where Q chooses, the question doesn't make sense..." Colonel Picard tried to explain.

"Smart, let Luke." Q interrupted him in a complimenting tone. "You're a quick learner. Now we're not in the timeline you're familiar with."

Picard glanced down depressedly, and changed the subject: "Q has dealt with my Enterprise several times, he came from a place called Q Continuous Surface, we only know that it is a place that cannot be correctly recognized by human senses. The high-dimensional space of..."

"You need evolution, unconventional evolution. I'm looking forward to it, friend." Q chimed in enthusiastically.

Picard ignored him this time: "Usually his appearance represents confusion, accident and unconventional danger..."

"Uh, I was hurt by you." Q said aggrievedly, "I thought we were friends now."

"... There are exceptions... a routine mission, Q suddenly appeared, interrupted the itinerary of the Enterprise, and sent us to the hometown of the Bee Clan... It was a rather dangerous and unforgettable journey. Later, it was discovered that the Bee Clan had already prepared Invading the alliance space, Q's interference made the star fleet realize the threat of the bee family in advance, and made the necessary preparations... In addition, I am not the only officer who has dealt with Q, the captain of the scientific research ship Voyager and the ninth The remote space station commander of the USS has also reported quite... strange experiences."

"Isn't it just asking Captain Jenny Wei to conceive a child for me? What's so strange, and besides, she didn't agree..." Q was confident.

"...So Q didn't have any ill intentions towards Starfleet? How did someone report that he killed our people?" Kirk asked casually, his eyes fixed on the touching index fingers of Spock and McCoy.

"It's just an accidental injury, it can be corrected." Seeing Picard's suddenly serious expression, Q began to explain, "I'm dealing with the intruders, they," he pointed down, "come from another parallel universe. Evolution over there The power at the top seems to have a strong hostility to the outside world, so it has chosen a very rapid and cruel evolutionary route for some intelligent creatures under its protection. These people are essentially no different from the ancient Roman gladiators. Many similar teams Once entered the protection and observation range of Q's continuous plane, and caused great damage to several sections of history, the Qs took a lot of effort to straighten out the turbulence of time, and then traced to the demiplane they were in, and communicated with their control got into a fight."

The information revealed in this sentence... Imerton was shocked and listened more carefully.

Q said happily, "That time was quite interesting, and there were not many opportunities for Q to exercise his muscles and bones, although those existences did not reach the limit of evolution. Later, the controller over there agreed not to interfere with those universes under the protection of the continuous surface." We just came back during the evolution process. However, there are occasional teams that enter and cause some small damage. I happened to see them this time, and they were idle anyway, so I caught them and asked them. As a result, I accidentally brought Captain Kirk over It's..." Q spread his hands at Picard.

"What did they do?" Picard asked.

"We didn't hurt any members of the Alliance. On the contrary, our goal is the same as Captain Kirk's." Emerton interjected.

"You have used energy that may destabilize the space." Q raised his eyebrows arrogantly, "I could have completely wiped out your team because of this, but Q has always been reasonable and never interfered excessively with the evolution of intelligent creatures—Picard, Don't make that look, the last time I was stripped of my powers because I made a few jokes with you is the embodiment of the law of Q."

Picard continued rubbing his forehead.Kirk looked back and forth between them and asked Q: "It seems that you are an exception?"

"Q's internal disagreement has been resolved, and I am now a model Q." Q said depressedly, "Don't interrupt, where did I say? Ah, yes, little bug..."

"You're insulting them," Picard interrupted him.

"Picard, you have no sense of humor." Q rolled his eyes skyward, "Well, respondent, you've made your choice, each of you has made a choice. But, like you said, you still Before there is time to cause substantial damage, then I will give you another chance and let your two chiefs choose for you-it can't be worse anyway, right-if he understands what you have overlooked, I will pardon you. "

The previous picture reappeared, accompanied by those two unavoidable questions.Everyone's eyes were focused on the two people who were locked from top to bottom, only Spock and McCoy still had their eyes closed, and their memory transmission had not yet been completed.

Chu Xuan's answer was as expected: "Yes... I will, as long as it is beneficial to our survival."

Zheng Zha's reaction was also not surprising: "Ah, of course not...then how can you do it, if you have fought side by side, you are a partner..." Then, he was silent for a long time, when everyone felt that he had already When he finished speaking, he suddenly added softly, "... Unless, we can't live without doing that... I really hope to live with all my friends."

Q smiled mysteriously.

In the stands, the shouting and killing sounded again.

Q frowned, snapped his fingers, and the stands, together with the people above them, disappeared together.

In the sudden silence, he turned to the two captains: "As a rare role-playing game, I wanted to let the spectators of the arena make the final judgment, but Picard definitely disagrees. Then, captains, tell me: these Humans have invaded your universe, altered your memories, intervened in your disputes - of course, they had no choice - and now, you know... what to do?"

"My primary duty is my ship and its crew," Picard said after a while. "Anyone or anything that is harmful to this is my enemy. But there is not enough evidence that these people must be It will pose a threat, it can only be said that there is such a possibility, after all, their predecessors are their predecessors, they are them. I think, at most, they can only be expelled."

"My basic duty is my spaceship and its crew." Kirk repeated this sentence with a wry smile, turning his head to look at Spock and McCoy who were standing still with their eyes closed, "Maybe after this time, I won't be able to board the ship again Well... anyway, these guys are protecting my ship and crew by taking down the Klynn ships. As far as they are doing now, I don't think their actions are harmful, so, don't agree with any disposition, for me , so far, they have caused no more trouble than Q. The future has not happened yet."

Q glared, reminding him, "Hey, wasn't I helping your crew?"

"Uh, thank you." Kirk replied, "By the way, please return the missing starship officer."

"Ungrateful humans." Q muttered, thinking of something, and smiled strangely, "Okay, go back to your starship. Picard, my old friend, it's fun."

"Q! What are you going to do?" Picard felt wrong based on experience, and just as he asked, he heard the snap of his fingers.The scenery in front of him changed, and he had already returned to the bridge he was familiar with.The crew members turned their heads in amazement, looked at him, then at the three people who appeared out of nowhere in front of the command seat and the ten more people on the side of the bridge—most of them were wearing the classic uniforms of Starfleet.

Then, the scientific officer of the spaceship, the artificial intelligence biological data raised his plain face and asked innocently: "Colonel, has Q come again?"

Under the admiring eyes of the crew, Picard began to rub his forehead depressedly.

[-]. Return trip

In the dark space, the red giant stars that have entered their twilight years and the still young blue and white stars lean on each other, staring at the surrounding emptiness.In the distance, the stars are as dense as broken diamonds.

Suddenly, on the edge of the red giant star, a black spot rapidly rotated and expanded, and ripples suddenly appeared in the corona.In the middle of the void vortex with thick ink dots, the silver-white Enterprise quickly emerged from nothing. With the help of the gravitational force between the two stars, it slanted out of the hot atmosphere around the star.

On the bridge, the gentle voice of the data is particularly reliable under the continuous sound of the alarm: "The energy of the shield has dropped to 35%, all systems are operating normally, and the curvature engine is overloaded at 110%, and it is still stable. The time jump is successful, sir."

"Very good." Picard sat upright on the command seat, "Cancel the red alert. Data
