Release notes.
--------------

There are two skins included in this pak. 

Captain Picard
Ensign Picard

I made Picard a LONG time ago for TEEP but didn't release it because I was waiting for 
TEEP to release it's demo. I have decided to release some of the stuff that has been 
on my hard drive for months and I have improved the skins since then in light of what I 
know now that I didn't then. The blue skin of Captain Picard is the version that Q
re-incarnated him as, a boring man who only rose to the ranks of Commander (jg). I have
included this as a feature. If you look at the rank pins on the blue skin you will notice
they are correct to the episode.

I have to acknowledge Colonel Grib at this point who made the very first Picard. His
original skin was one of the ones that inspired me to start skinning, and the Colonel 
(retired) has kindly agreed to let me use his Chatlines and some of his taunts. I didn't
think I could improve on these and I was lucky that he graciously alllowed me to use them.

Thanks Colonel.

Here is a brief synopsis of the episode the skin is based on courtesy of startrek.com
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gravely injured in a Lenarian attack, Picard slips into a white, seamless limbo while 
Beverly struggles to save his life. There, he encounters Q, who informs Picard that he is 
dead and this is the afterlife — and that Q himself is God! Picard refuses to believe that 
he is dead, let alone that Q is the supreme being. But Q is determined to prove otherwise. 
He produces the artificial heart that failed Picard and caused his death, which triggers 
Picard's sense of regret. With Q's urging, he admits that, given the opportunity to live 
life over, he would do things differently. 

Picard's wish is Q's command. He is suddenly a young ensign of 21 and Q gives him the 
opportunity to relive and avoid the fight that led to his being stabbed through the heart. 
If he succeeds, he will return to the present with his real heart intact, and the galaxy's 
history will remain unchanged. If not, he will die in that present and spend eternity with 
Q. 

Initially, Picard was stabbed when he rigged a gambling table to help his Starfleet friend 
Corey get revenge against a Nausicaan who cheated him. Since he must avoid that conflict, 
he attempts to talk Corey out of gambling in the first place. Corey plays anyway, the 
Nausicaan cheats him and wins, and Corey naturally asks Picard to help him get revenge. 
But Picard refuses, backed up by a another friend named Marta, and a furious Corey storms 
off. 

Further changing his past behavior, Picard spends the night with Marta. But in the morning, 
she worries that they have ruined their friendship. When Picard, Marta and Corey get 
together that night, the tension between the three of them is palpable. Then things get 
worse. Three Nausicaans appear and taunt the group, hoping to provoke a fight. Picard sees 
the Nausicaans prepare to draw their weapons and quickly knocks Corey to the floor in order 
to prevent the fight from occurring. But since Corey and Marta can't understand Picard's 
actions, they see them as a betrayal and walk away in disgust, announcing to Picard that 
they are no longer friends. Q congratulates Picard for changing his destiny, and he is 
thrown back into the present time. However, he has returned to the U.S.S. Enterprise as a 
lieutenant, junior grade. 

According to Q, everything is as it should be — the changes in Picard's present reflect 
the changes he made in his youth. But Picard is unable to go about his business as a lowly 
astrophysics officer. Disoriented by the lack of respect he encounters at the hands of his 
former subordinates, he speaks to Troi and Riker about his chances for advancement, and is 
crushed to hear that while he is a good, reliable officer, he just doesn't stand out. 
Desperate, Picard summons Q and begs that he would rather die than live any longer as an 
average, dreary man. Q obliges and the dreaded fight ensues. However, at the moment he is 
stabbed through the heart, Picard wakes up in Sickbay in the present time, surrounded by a 
very relieved Beverly, Worf and Riker. Despite the traumatic ordeal, Picard realizes that 
he feels grateful toward Q, who gave him a chance to understand why he is the man he is 
today.
