Data Stellare 49301.2: Quinn, un Q ribelle, riesce a fuggire dall'interno di una cometa in cui era stato recluso e chiede asilo alla Voyager. Poco dopo il ben noto Q si presenta per riportare il ribelle nel continuum, però Quinn dichiara che, se Janeway gli garantisce l'asilo, intende suicidarsi per porre fine al tedio della sua vita immortale.
Tuvok: I am curious: have the Q always had an absence of manners, or is it the result of some natural evolutionary process that comes with omnipotence? [T:12:24]
Kim: Captain! There are no stars outside!
Quinn: Well, that's partially accurate. Actually, there's no
universe outside.
Tuvok: Captain. Based on our readings, it appears we've been transported back in time to the birth of the Universe.
Torres: This ship will not survive the formation of the cosmos!
Kim: Captain, I don't believe this, but... according to my readings... we're being attacked by protons!
Q: Did anyone ever tell you you're angry when you're beautiful?
Janeway: I'm afraid we're responsible for that.
Q: Oh! Well, I guess that's what we get for having a woman in the
Captain's seat!
Q: Without Q there would have been no William T. Riker at all, and I would have lost at least a dozen really good opportunities to insult him over the years.
Q: I call myself to the stand.
Q (duplicato): Tada!
Quinn: Captain, you are an explorer. What if you had nothing left to explore? Would you want to live forever under those circumstances?
Quinn: Our disease is immortality.
Ecco il testo dell'articolo pubblicato da Quinn sull'immaginaria rivista letta dai membri del Continuum.
I'm ready to die; How about you?
For many years as I have put my thoughts to paper and written this column, it
has occurred to me that I would run out of things to say, find nothing new to
comment about. But I have. And it's deeply troubling to me. Frankly, I believe
the time has come for the continuum to look at the possibility that immortality
is not in this society's best interest. I have found myself recently looking at
my life and saying, "I've had enough. Why not call it quits?" And you know what?
I've decided that's exactly what I want to do. Let's take a good hard look at
our life. Each of us should ask himself "Have I had enough?" The answer is yes.
