Excerpt from: The Engineer and the Time Lady
“Where do you want to start?” Gamma asked.
Aialah was in thought for a moment. “Engineering.”
“Sure,” Gamma said. She lead Aialah back to the turbolift.
Alpha was more concerned about Aialah after her reaction to Beta.

Clara interrupted. “I heard about something unusual.”
“Is that it? I think there’s something more,” Lauren said.
“Of course, there’s more,” the other one, the Doctor, said. “But what can you tell us about what has been happening?”

‘So, what next?’ Clara wondered. She wasn’t sure.
“I have noticed something,” Vastra added. “It is warmer than it should be for this time of year.”

She placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder. Tasha’s turbulent emotions began to settle. But she knew that would have to be a session after they arrived at Farpoint.
“Greviously savage could mean anything,” Picard said. “I will answer only specific charges.”
“Are you certain you want a full disclosure of human ugliness?” Q asked. “So be it, fool!” He turned to the bailiff. “Present the charges.”

Excerpt from: Jia’hale
“I miss Hotaru,” he murmured.
“Not the first time someone wanted to leave...” the Doctor said in a sad tone.
'There's something there,' Sabir thought. 'Hotaru had been travelling alone with her when I started travelling.' He shook his head. “Have you found anything.”
“Not yet.”
Police Public Call Box. “Huh?”
“What?” the officer asked.
“The markings of the pod. It has an English phrase. 'Police Public Call Box'. That makes no sense!”
“...Sounds familiar.”
“How, sir,” the tech asked.
“Just run the search.”
The Doctor found something. “A particle trace...”
“What kind of trace?” Sabir asked.
“A particle trace. It could tell me something about what happened.”

“Lose?” Q asked incredulously.
“Yes, even though you’re judge and prosecutor.”
“And Jury.”
“Accepted, so long as you keep to your agreement,” Picard said. “And assaulting prisoners is hardly a fair trial.”
“This is a merciful court,” Q said as he thawed Yar. “Continuing these proceedings, I must caution you that legal trickery is not permitted. This is a court of…”
Picard interrupted. “Court of fact! We humans know our past, even when we're ashamed of it. I recognise this court system as the one that agreed with that line from Shakespeare. Kill all the lawyers,” he said referring to Henry VI.
“Which was done,” Q added.
“Which led to the rule guilty until proven innocent.”
“Of course,” Q said, clearly enjoying himself. “Bringing the innocent to trial would be unfair. You will now answer to the charge of being a grievously savage race.”
Deanna could feel that Tasha was tense, trying not to remember what she had experienced of the ‘courts’ on her home planet.

There was still discontent and worry. But they settled down. Chakotay wondered how Kes was having that calming effect.
“I’ve reversed course, Captain,” Paris reported. “Ready to go to warp.”
“Slow and Steady, Lieutenant. Warp 2.”
“Warp 2, aye.”

“One drink,” she said.
“Sure.”
However, Daria quickly regretted that decision. That one drink was enough for her to get tipsy. “That’s enough for now,” she said, firmly. “Do you have a soda?”
“Of course,” Kelly, one of Natalia’s friends said. “Here!”
Daria nodded, she considered that she had just sounded like Quinn!

Excerpt from: The Engineer and the Time Lady
“What do you mean?”
“It is something technological isn’t it?”
“Yes,” Bond answered in a guarded tone. “But I trust my Quartermaster to be able to work it out.”
“That’s what I’m afraid of.”
Bond looked closely at the pensive expression on Hernandez’ face. She was clearly hiding a lot of things. ‘I need to do something, before she tries something desperate,’ he thought. He was sure of one thing. That asking her who she worked for wouldn’t be a good idea.”
“I can let you look at it somewhere secure.”
“Sure.”
As Bond got back in the car, Hernandez contacted the Toronto. “I’m going to follow him to a safehouse.”
“Are you sure that’s wise?” Lawson asked.
“There’s not much choice. I don’t want to hurt him. I’m sure I hurt those Warsaw Pact agents…”
“Right.”

Excerpt from: A New Generation - Farpoint
Troi looked around the courtroom. She could detect nothing from the people there other than the other officers who arrived with her. But she knew Q was there, somewhere.
“Historically intriguing, Captain,” Data said. “Very, very accurate.”
“Mid 21st Century, during the Post Atomic Horror,” Picard said, referring to the many warlord states that arose in the aftermath of the nuclear exchange at the end of World War Three.
‘Could have been worse,’ Troi thought. It could have been Nazi Germany, Khmer Rouge Cambodia or the Great Khanate.
“All present, stand and make respectful attention to the honoured Judge,” the bailiff said.
Troi leaned closer to the Captain. “Careful sir. This is not an illusion or a dream.”
“But these courts happened in the past.”
“I don’t understand either, but this is real.”
“Get to your feet, criminals!”
Then Q appeared, in a garb appropriate to a ‘Judge’ of the era.
“At least we’re acquainted with the Judge, Captain,” Data remarked.
Picard stood. “Can we assume you mean this will be a fair trial?”
“Yes,” Q answered. “Absolutely equitable. Proceed.”
The Bailiff spoke again. “Before this gracious court now appear these prisoners to answer for the multiple and grievous savageries of their species. How plead you, criminal?”

Clara, Vastra and Jenny sat next to the fire as Robin and two of the Merry Men guarded them. “Any indication that they may not be real?” Clara asked.

“Isn’t there someone else you can ask?” Daria asked in an annoyed tone.
“Umm, No!”
Daria quickly showed Brittany by drawing lines converging at a point and using the example of Cashman’s having a sale. Brittany got it she was still confused. “Is Cashman’s really having a one day sale?”
“I don’t know,” Daria answered.
