- Interesting. The burst was far more powerful than I originally intended… I am sure that your AI will reassert its positronic balance immediately.

- However, we must tread carefully. We cannot give the Borg an easy means to track us. Before returning to your Station, we should first stop off at the Opla system.

- Before we begin, Commander, I owe you an explanation. I told you that I have a reliable source feeding me information on Borg movements. This is the truth, but not the whole truth.

- My source is, in fact, a Borg drone.

- A Borg drone? How are you extracting this information, and why have the Collective not simply severed its connection?
- Objective ID

- Dialogue
- I have been… masking the connection. As far as the Collective is concerned, this drone does not exist.
- Objective ID

- Dialogue
- However, it is still very much connected. What the Collective knows, it knows and what it knows, I know.

- Talia… You mind melded with the Borg? If the Borg had learned of this…

- Dialogue
- I was well aware of the risks, but what would you have done in my place? This gift my people have could be the one advantage we have in this war.

- Character
- Talia
- Dialogue
- I have no desire to debate the issue with you. Once the war is done and the galaxy is safe from the Borg, we may continue this discussion. For now, we must focus on the task at hand.

- Dialogue
- Excellent. Stopping here first will force the Borg to make another stop if they decide to track us, giving us time to finish enacting our plan.

- Dialogue
- Now we need to return to your Station, Commander. Please, try to hurry. The more time we waste, the more danger we are in.

- Dialogue
- Talia is correct, Commander. The Borg will return and they will do so in force. We will not be able to defend the civilians forever.

- However, we have yet to find a suitable location.

- Character
- Talia
- Dialogue
- I think I may be able to help in that regard. I know a star system that has not yet been assimilated. In fact, the Borg do not even know it exists.

- It is called Torana. It is my home system.

- How do you know that the Borg do not know of this system?
- Objective ID

- Dialogue
- The same way I knew about their assault on your Station. I have a reliable source.

- Dialogue
- I understand your suspicion, but I have proven myself to be your ally. I believe I have earned a bit of trust. I will reveal all, but only when the civilians are safe.
- Objective ID

- Character
- Talia
- Dialogue
- However, the Borg will be watching us. Before we can move the refugees to Torana, we must first draw their gaze elsewhere. I think I know how we can do that.

- Commander, bring us to Metra Gamma, to Borg space.

- Character
- Talia
- Dialogue
- Excellent work, Commander. Now I will trigger a chain reaction in the nanoprobes you gathered, releasing a large burst of bioelectronic waves. That is likely to get the Borg’s attention.
- Objective ID

- I am just about ready. Hand over the 5,000 Inert Nanoprobes.

- Hold on. It looks like our plan is working a little too well. We’ve caught some unwanted attention. Take out that Borg probe!

- Now, it is time to try something risky. Commander, I need you to gather Inert Nanoprobes from the Borg in this system.
