In terms of "The Q" and Markers and Habbenings…

What would make your people happy?

What would satisfy your folks?

What would fulfill your/their expectations?

What if it's significant to Q folks, but the content is more mundane than it was hyped up to be?

Was it? Or did you hype it in your head, stacked on top of past situations?

What would have "made the grade"?

Anything short of full blown "Go!"?

Perhaps Q is simply waiting for you to Ask The RIGHT Q, whomever you are.

Best if it happens organically, but if it's forced due to time, then so be it.

We're the only ones with a both a time limit and no knowledge as to its cutoff.

Parallels, as per usual.

Style, timing, "hype and expectations"…

In terms of what you're currently working on, not necessarily "overall", if Q dropped something major:

What would you be hoping for?

What would you need; maybe for "social" reasons?

Realistically, what is something you think Q would answer?

Why would they not answer something? Would we not understand the answer?

If there are specific things they can't "give away", could you isolate the gap(s) in his answers?

Questions are ways of arranging answers.

Imagine answers outlining a question.

That question, when asked, will take you to another scale of answers, arranged in all forms of new questions.

Correct Questions render Correct Answers.

Good answers lead to better questions.

But what's the Ultimate Question?

(Or The Last Question, as Asimov would put it.)
