Serinn, we have arrived in Benes Alpha, as requested. My scans detect a significant number of Borg vessels patrolling the system.

That’s exactly what I wanted to hear! You won’t be able to stay there for long before you’re overwhelmed. Hurry up and gather 5,000 Inert Nanoprobes from those creeps!

Serinn, why did you have us acquire these Inert Nanoprobes? A significant risk was undertaken during the acquisition of these items. Why did you need them?

Dialogue
I’m sure you’re familiar with the process of reverse engineering? My theories suggest that these Nanoprobes are a key component of the assimilation process.

Dialogue
If I am to potentially reverse this process, I need to understand exactly what role the Nanoprobes play.

I theorize that, during the assimilation process, these Nanoprobes are introduced into the subject’s bloodstream.

Dialogue
At this point, they travel through the body, corrupting and assimilating the subject’s body in order to be ready to receive Borg technology. A fascinating, albeit terrifying process.

Dialogue
If my theories are proven correct, then I may be able to reverse engineer these Nanoprobes in order to reverse the assimilation process.

Of course, the subject will still retain a degree of physical and mental scarring, but we may be able to salvage elements of their consciousness and personality.

Give me a few moments, Commander. If I am correctly understanding this process, then we may be able to wake and converse with our assimilated friends.

Dialogue
There you are! I was beginning to think you’d gotten lost on the way back. Come now, I need those Inert Nanoprobes. I think 5,000 should do the job.

We should contact Serinn back at our Station and inform him of our progress. He will be pleased to learn of the acquisition of Dalen’s old laboratory equipment. Establishing communications.

Ah, Commander! I was wondering what became of you. How is the mission going?

We have retrieved Dalen’s old laboratory equipment, albeit with some slight resistance from local Kriosian rebels.

Dialogue
Kriosians, eh? Can’t say I’m too enthused about their presence myself. Still, it’s good you were able to procure the necessary equipment! Although… I may have one more request to make.

One more request? Do you need more equipment or supplies?

Serinn
Dialogue
Well, technically… yes. Through my brief observations of our partially assimilated guests, I believe I already have a hunch as to how this process is undertaken.

In order to confirm this, I need you to retrieve some samples from active Borg hostiles. This would mean…

Maia
Dialogue
This would mean direct combat and acquisition of resources from Borg hostiles, correct?

Dialogue
This one catches on quick! I’m transmitting coordinates to your ship now. I have received word that one of my old hideaways, Benes Alpha, has been overtaken by these things.

Make your way out there and knock some of their heads together, Commander. You should find caches of Inert Nanoprobes aboard their vessels. Bring a consignment of them to me.

Serinn, we have collected the required amount of Inert Nanoprobes. How did you know that the Borg vessels would be harboring these items?

Serinn
Dialogue
Simple observation, of course! Well… to be entirely truthful, I didn’t actually know if they would be there or not. I was exploring a hypothesis – one you’ve just proven, Commander.

Return to me with the consignment of Inert Nanoprobes. We’ll put them to a… how should I say… more noble use.
