The Survivors.

Star Trek The Next Generation Season Three

Q; If I may quote directly from the Chief Nitpicker himself here, "Kevin can't precisely match the Enterprise's acceleration if he doesn't know the Enterprise's acceleration, right?"

A; Wrong! Kevin himself at no time matches the Enterprise's acceleration, but the ship he created did. One might assume that he gave the ship sensors and a measure of autonomy, so that the ship itself was the interactive element in the chase.

Q; How come, when Kevin dematerialises on the Bridge and takes off down a turbolift, Geordi can be seen to be looking at the turbolift before Kevin appears to get to it?

A; One might assume that, as Geordi doesn't perceive things the way we do, he sometimes is better informed than us normal folks are. What I'm suggesting is that Geordi was watching Kevin in real time, while the rest of us saw an afterimage, and that our eyes just aren't equipped to watch the Kevins of the world (any world) when they dematerialise that way.

Incidentally, when Picard turns up unexpectedly in Troi's quarters just after Kevin has taken the music from Troi's mind and explained that to Beverly, part of the reason that his presence is so unexpected is because there is no 'swoosh' from the door to Troi's quarters as he entered. I wonder how he managed that?
