A hearing aboard Voyager in which Captain Janeway had to rule on whether a dissident member of the Q Continuum, later called Quinn, should be granted asylum so that he could end his immortal life.
In the Voyager episode Death Wish, the ship accidentally releases a Q who has been imprisoned inside a comet for three centuries to stop him killing himself. The familiar Q arrives to return him to confinement, and the prisoner asks Janeway for asylum.
Janeway holds a hearing with Tuvok representing the petitioner. Q calls himself as a witness and summons Isaac Newton, a twentieth-century man named Maury Ginsberg and William Riker to show the good the prisoner has done. The petitioner answers by taking the court into the Continuum, shown as a dusty desert road where everything has already been said.
Janeway grants asylum. Made mortal, he takes the name Quinn and soon dies by poison, which Q admits he supplied. His death helps to spark the later civil war in the Continuum.
