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, utilizing the steel weights with handles connected, 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 chose to have a little fun with the captain and his grumpy friend. So Trelane changed himself into such a unique weight, hiding 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 are focused on getting the best workouts imaginable, starting off with normal stretches. Keep in mind that Trelane is still under the guise of kettlebells but he has now placed himself right beside the treadmill in an unsafe way. It should be noted that this type of weight has been heavily recommended by fitness authorities such as Lorna due to their level of versatility and rate of success. Once Kirk is off of the treadmill, he instantly trips over the weight in disguise and falls against the duranium deck. McCoy, seeing this tumble, goes to assist his captain and comrade.
Not known to McCoy at the time, Q decided to set himself right in front of the shipmate's exercise bike. In almost no time at all, McCoy trips and collides with the floor as well. The two shipmates of the Starfleet are left to laugh with one another, making jokes about supposed bad eyesight as well. Trelane and Q won't give up so easily, though, since they always want to test humans. They decide that perhaps it is time to take research to another level with other captains.
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 haphazardly appear throughout the ship, sometimes tripping people, and showing up in bizarre 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?
