True Q
Young Amanda’s world is turned upside down when she realizes that she is actually a member of the Q Continuum. Q appears to take the girl back but then agrees to let her decide on her own where she would like to stay. When Data discovers that her supposedly natural human parents were killed by a very localized tornado that should have been prevented by the weather control system, Q has to admit that they were actually members of the Continuum who were executed for being renegades - which included begetting Amanda the natural human way. The girl is furious about this and is tempted to give up her powers to stay with the humans. That seems an easy task until Amanda can’t help intervening in a planetary disaster on Tagra IV, and sadly realizes the best choice for all is for her to go live among her own kind. summary by Ex-Astris-Scientia
Hm… a very interesting idea. Have you ever wondered what you’d do if you had seemingly indefinite power at your disposal? We all know what they say: absolute power corrupts absolutely - that’s also one of my favorite themes… Let’s see we had Riker’s temptation, I believe there was some in Voyager, too. Here the outcome is quite different. So are the circumstances. Amanda looses it because she just has to help out. Well, what can I say? Kudos! One day I probably will write about that aspect of absolute power, too.
