Elder Knight, it's ok, there's an alternative ending where he gets up and throws the bridge at Soran, killing him instantly. He then flies up on the missile which he redirects into the Nexus, giving the echo Guinan an even better time than the nexus could, inadvertently impregnating the real one by proxy (this takes a while of course, what with time having no meaning in there, y'know). He then jumps out and flies through space to the Enterprise holding his breath all the way.
En route he reconfigures his old communicator to gain the codes to the E's shields, gaining access and smashing through the bridge view screen. Before anyone can respond he assumes command, destroys the BoP with the simple order "Fire at Will!", then reconstitutes Scotty from the transporter records gained from the Jenolen, who then whips up a subspace device which redirects the nexus harmlessly away.
They all then fly off leaving Picard, forgotten, sat happily building piles of stones, content in the knowledge that he will never let them promote him.
I am taking this thread seriously, honestly. Is the troll still hungry or does it need a little more contempt?
