In the gym of the starship Enterprise NCC-1701, Captain James T. Kirk and Doctor Leonard McCoy are about to begin their standard workout sessions. They are thinking of attempting a new exercise today, an ancient Earth technique used by weights called kettlebells. This form of training, implementing the steel weights with handles installed, were a tried and true method of exercise for thousands of years. Little did they comprehend that they had company for their workout.
Trelane, a member of the Q Continuum, was enjoying a visit to the Enterprise. He decided to have a little fun with the captain and his grumpy friend. So Trelane changed himself into such a unique weight, secreting himself on the rack of exercise equipment. But Trelane has a shepherd, a guide during his formative years. He is known as Q, the same Q who would taunt and tease the captains of the 24th century. But here in the 22nd, Q is a wild card.
Kirk and McCoy are set to take part in their workouts and they begin by doing their stretches. Trelane, still in his disguise of one of many kettlebells, decided to place himself right beside the treadmill which would be utilized. This form of weight, though, is one that has seen a great deal of success and fitness authorities such as Lorna cannot recommend them enough. Upon stepping off of the treadmill, Kirk trips over the weight and collides with the duranium deck inside of the gym. That's when McCoy runs to assist his fallen comrade.
While it wasn't known to McCoy at that point, Q set himself right in front of exercise bike, ready to trip him up. Sure enough, McCoy indeed tripped and he fell to the floor in a somewhat comedic fashion. To say the least, such an occurrence left the two Starfleet shipmates to laugh it off, joking about supposed need for glasses as well. This bides well for neither Trelane nor Q, though, as they both want to test humans. They decide that perhaps it is high time to look to other captains if they desire more thorough investigation.
After all, if the silly humans create a piece of workout equipment that's simply a ball of steel with a handle connected, well then it's clearly up to Q and Trelane to make use of it. Over the next few days on the Enterprise, kettlebells randomly appear throughout the ship, at times tripping people, and showing up in weird locations like on the bridge at the science station or in the replicators. The crew chalks the appearances up to an anomaly but the anomalies have grown bored. What kinds of confusion can they cause elsewhere?
