Log Entries
- First officer's personal log, Supplemental
- I have decided to maintain our position in the hope that Captain Picard can outwit Q, as he's done in the past.
But, I must admit, if only to myself, the possibility that the captain will finally run out of ways to deal with this super-being.
And even if he does manage to outmaneuver his adversary once again... Will Q abide by the rules of whatever game he's invented? Or will hegive in to a whim-- and make the captain pay the price?
