It jumped in my brain this little thing.
Try to read it, please, forgiving my very poor English.
Maybe it can please you.
And remember: it is improvised.
I do not understand.
Normal.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
When you have finished rattling off your kindnesses, would you want to be kind enough to explain?
You are a Q, you should know everything.
You also are a Q, you should know how to explain all.
Put it this way: sometimes the Qs must give up.
Yeah.
Humans are too incomprehensible.
Yeah.
Not to mention the Vulcans.
Yeah.
If, then, we put together a human male with a Vulcan female ...
…All becomes even more incomprehensible.
Yeah.
But tell me if there was a need to kick up such a fuss.
Yeah.
Such a mess.
Yeah.
Putting on such a mise-en-scène.
Yeah.
Pretending to die in such an idiotic way.
Yeah.
He.
Yeah.
And she? Not even demanding to see him.
Eh perforce. How could she see a dead man who there wasn't?
And expecting, both of them, that people could drink that were not together, that - think what! - they had left each other!
But why?
Incomprehensible.
Incomprehensible.
Everyone knew they were the happiest of couples.
Everyone was happy of that.
Yeah.
So, why manufacturing that absurd hologram…
…To make people believe the unbelievable…
…Taking advantage of the credulity of Riker...
…And that of Troi…
…Just as they had heard from Daniel.
That Riker and Troy were two dupes?
This.
Yeah.
And a little shallow, in addition.
Yeah.
Neither of these two fatheads had been caring to check if they were historical data.
Yeah.
And they touted everything as if it were true.
Favouring - this is clear - the plans of Trip and T'Pol.
Yeah
Why making people believe such nonsense?
Incomprehensible.
Incomprehensible.
…
…
…
Q?
Yes, Q?
What do you think?
Of what?
Could it be true?
What?
That those two, I mean Trip and T'Pol, have done it so as to...?
To?
To make those 'what-d’you-call-them'...
Which 'what-d’you-call-them'?
You know, those writers who are also called Fans, those who write Fanfics ...
Oh, I know who you mean, those 'possessed and obsessed' who spend days and nights writing about Trip and T'Pol.
Yes, them.
Understood. So?
To make them able to write tons of fanfics…
… in the teeth of how things have gone for real?
Exactly.
Mh, I don't know.
Q, think about this.
About what, Q?
People enjoy love angst.
Okay, so?
What sort of angst could you find in a couple that lived the happiest of lives by loving each other much more than anyone else?
Mh...
And then, this is perfectly in character. In their characters.
What do you mean?
They loved make people happy.
Uh?
Try to find people happiest than those who had the possibility to read the mass of beautiful stories that have been written thanks to their sham.
That's true.
I think they, who were so happy, wanted to make people happy at least a fraction of how they were.
That's comprehensible.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Q?
Yes, Q?
What do you think, should we reveal all this?
I don't think.
Why?
People could stop writing stories about them.
Horrible!
Yes, horrible.
So, mum's the word!
Mum's the word.
Goodbye, Q.
Goodbye. Where do you go?
To read some beautiful story about Trip and T'Pol.
I think I will follow your example.
Good reading, Q.
Good reading also to you, Q.
