Your optimistic mood heartens me, Steven W.
Your hunch carries weight as an emissary of Q, as you are doubtless amongst the most knowledgeable of things Q.
I realize you are putting together hints and signals from many sources, including the Q that didn't drop.
In the spirit of Sherlock Holmes, I can see the possibility that Q did not drop (like the dog that didn't bark) because the material is already totally familiar to us .
Red October.
Future proves past.
I love you both like brothers!
