Commander, with repatriation efforts underway, along with the Borg’s retreat from the warzone, it would appear that the conflict between the Borg and the Node has concluded.

However, we must not rest on our laurels. We retain a responsibility to remain vigilant. Should the Node or the Borg return to action, we must be prepared to face them.

In the meantime, all we can do is remain vigilant and watch for any signs of further Borg or Node incursions into our territory. For now, I believe it may be safe to say that victory is ours.

You didn’t just eradicate our way of life. You cast us aside as mere detritus. Now, the Node will do the same to you. We will not rest until the Borg Collective has been completely dismantled!

Then you will never know rest again. I could have killed you in the blink of an eye. But you’ve given me time to think. I believe that you are deserving of a fate worse than death. And I will give that to you.

I assumed this answer would be obvious, Captain. The Construct has proven to be a thorn in the Hierarch’s side. They will stop at nothing until it has been claimed as their own.

The Commander here will travel to Valjavec 9, and will broadcast their surrender to the Node. The Hierarch will answer. Then, when all of the pieces are in place, we will end this war once and for all.

I suppose that’s all we can ask for at this point. Commander, we’ve wasted enough time here. Lay in a course for Valjavec 9. It’s time for the war between the Node and the Borg to end.
