In the gym of the starship Enterprise NCC-1701, Captain James T. Kirk and Doctor Leonard McCoy are about to start their usual workout sessions. They are thinking of attempting a new exercise today, an ancient Earth technique used by weights referred to kettlebells. This form of training, using the steel weights with handles attached, 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 paying a visit to the Enterprise. He selected to have a little fun with the captain and his grumpy companion. So Trelane changed himself into such a unique weight, concealing himself on the rack of exercise equipment. But Trelane has a shepherd, a guide during his formative years. He is comprehendn 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, intent on beginning their workouts, have decided to start by stretching. Trelane, in his guise as one of many kettlebells, has now situated himself right next to the treadmill. This type of weight is has gained ground over the course of time and fitness authorites like Lorna endorse them. Upon getting off of the treadmill, Kirk immediately trips over the weight and slams onto the duranium deck of the gym. Seeing his friend and captain trip and fall, McCoy hurries to his aid.
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 essentially 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 sporadically 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 occurrences up to an anomaly but the anomalies have grown bored. What kinds of bedlam can they cause elsewhere?
