Probably how he gets 'front' as well.
He's the guy who's ship Riker will use to rescue Picard.
Get outProbably how he gets 'front' as well.
I love the idea that it’s Q in disguise but why would Q do that?
And do we count the couple of times on TOS that Spock telepathically influenced a guard or somebody in order to get the landing party out of a bind? See "The Omega Glory" and "A Taste of Armageddon."
Heck, the very first time we ever Spock perform a mind-meld, on Van Gelder in "Dagger of the Mind," he did so without Van Gelder's consent, or so I recall. (Granted, Van Gelder was already mentally scrambled at the time, so Spock was just trying to get past his madness.)
I like the idea too. Maybe Q is hiding out from the continuum again.
Q needs no "reason" to visit Picard. 
Why would be living down the road from the Rikers?Got Milk?
My guess would be because he's "Q" and it's Jean-Luc.
Yeah but being friends with Riker and Kestrel I mean.Q needs no "reason" to visit Picard.
I wonder if Bunnicorn's fart Rainbows?
no, but if they bite you, you'll vomit black bile and then DIE
No where near as fun...
And stay away from the Red Velvet cake.
And Chewable Blue Tracking Devices!
Oh should just have had tracking candy ready at the door of Starfleet Command when Picard visited for the receptionist to give to him.
Also, while Picard says he doesn't want to put Worf in danger, it's not clear how endangering a young Elnor is any better. If Elnor dies, he hasn't really lived a lot of life yet. Worf has had a full life, and he would welcome an honorable death fighting Romulan villians like Rizzo and Narek. He probably would have been able to save Hugh.
I think the person who was going on about this got it backwards. I think there was very tight coordination, because almost every major plot point in the novel has been addressed so far, and NOTHING important has been contradicted.
It's not that the novel is canon. It's that there was strong coordination, so that the novel lines up well with what's been on screen.
Now available in cherry flavor.
Actually, no, Van Gelder did consent. Spock told him it WOULD be dangerous, but it was the only way Van Gelder could communicate what was going on without the conditioned pain stopping him.
