Now having found the ship he needs for the job, he begins to think about the right person to run it, after going true the persons of the nation he wants to give it, he comes up whit the right person.

Whit one snap he and the USS Amsterdam disappear heading to another dimension and another earth.

What appears to be seconds for the USS Amsterdam is really a inter dimension time travel spanning almost 440 years.

Whit no damage the USS Amsterdam appears in orbit of the new planet earth, the second thing Q dos is zapping the person he wants from his office to the bridge of the USS Amsterdam.
