“Picard,” said Q, with a bit of the old arrogance. “Get some hair. Your brain has caught cold.”

And with a burst of light and sound, he vanished.

“Good riddance,” rumbled Worf.

“Oh, I don’t know,” said Picard slowly. “I hate to admit it… but I’m starting to get used to him.”

“Captain, you’re joking!” Riker said in horror.

Picard turned towards him. “Oh, of course I am, Number One.” But he wasn’t entirely sure that he was.
