So, grasshopper, you begin to understand the Quietude of the non-Q?
Indeed. But I've been digging like a mad dwarf on some things.
Increasing frequency and duration (seemingly) of the "Quietude" (I like that, it's like the reverse of the "Quickening" in Highlander) tells me that Q team is:
1) Busy.
2) Weaning us a little bit.
3) Sitting back and watching what we do when they're not around.
