Thank you for… helping me. They made you, correct? The old ones.

They did.

And they made us, in a way. We are descended from them, but we have strayed so far…

How were you able to seek our help? Why did your body reject assimilation?

Dialogue
The Borg didn’t realize… Our genome goes back to the first intelligent life in the galaxy. It is infinitely more complex than Borg programming and subroutines can handle.

Having Progenitor DNA in the Collective caused a… processing malfunction, like a computer looping eternally on an unanswerable question.

Perhaps the old ones took measures against something like this. Made sure that they could defend themselves against beings like the Borg.

So this is why the Borg have been behaving so strangely.
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Luxus
Dialogue
We are fundamentally incompatible. Even the Installations recognize the Borg as natural enemies. The Collective keeps trying to break through.

They’re stuck in a loop, fixated on their last tangible goal.

How close are they?
Objective ID

Character
Luxus
Dialogue
Too close. You must stop them. They will corrupt the entire Network if they get in. The Network underpins the entire galaxy. If it were to destabilize…

We won’t let that happen.

I believe that is enough for now, Captain. The patient needs rest.

Very well. Commander, with me. We’re going to the science lab.

Commander, the Doctor has been making progress with our guest. He thinks he’ll be able to wake them up soon.

Accompany us to Tugaash. We’ll have more privacy there.

Neelix! Just who I wanted to see. Could you bring me a coffee?

Here you are, Captain. Just how you like it. Black as the heart of Sagittarius A.

…Mmm. I needed that. Maybe you can help me, Neelix, in your capacity as Morale Officer.

Neelix
Dialogue
I’m at your service.
Objective ID

Character
Captain Janeway
Dialogue
I have a difficult choice to make. On the one hand, we have a way back to the Alpha Quadrant. Something we’ve been searching for, hoping for, since the Caretaker sent us here.
Objective ID
314,575,226
Phase

Character
Captain Janeway
Dialogue
On the other hand, we could use that same technology to help us take down the Borg in Samarklew, thereby destroying the device… and our path home.

Character
Captain Janeway
Dialogue
We have already been traveling for so long, Neelix. I don’t know if I can take this away from the crew after dangling it in front of them.
Objective ID
314,575,226
Phase

Character
Captain Janeway
Dialogue
Should we face the Borg without the advantage of the Pakik tech and finally go home? Or should we give it everything we have and make sure we win?
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Neelix
Dialogue
I think you already have your answer, Captain. It’s the same answer you always give when facing a moral dilemma.

Dialogue
…Ah, yes. The damn greater good.

Dialogue
I want an update on the Pakik tech. Where are we?
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Seven
Dialogue
The Pakik Tech was designed to draw energy from the Installations. We cannot use an alternate power source without completely redesigning the technology.
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Lieutenant Commander Tuvok
Dialogue
We would have to build a new prototype from scratch. We do not have time for that. We do not even know if it is possible with the data we currently have.
Objective ID
314,575,226
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Seven
Dialogue
Precisely. But the Installations have access to a vast amount of power. More than the Pakik accounted for in their calculations.
Objective ID
314,575,226
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Captain Janeway
Dialogue
And this is why their attempt to get home failed?
Objective ID
314,575,226
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Seven
Dialogue
We believe so.
Objective ID
314,575,226
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Captain Janeway
Dialogue
But our attempt might succeed?
Objective ID
314,575,226
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Lieutenant Commander Tuvok
Dialogue
If the calculations are correct, then… Yes. But, Captain, there is something else we should consider.
Objective ID
314,575,226
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Lieutenant Commander Tuvok
Dialogue
We saw the destruction this technology wreaked in Hasak. We could use that to help us defeat the Borg.
Objective ID
314,575,226
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Lieutenant Commander Tuvok
Dialogue
But there is no way the device would survive such a massive explosion. We would lose our way home.

You’re safe. You’re onboard the USS Voyager. Can you tell us your name?

Where is the program? The Progenitor?

Captain Janeway
Dialogue
And we’re sure this is safe, Doctor?
Objective ID
710,444,482
Phase

Character
Doctor
Dialogue
As safe as it can be. The Arcaelan will not try to assimilate us if that’s what you’re worried about. My scans showed that they were rejecting assimilation on a cellular level.

Dialogue
I managed to halt the degeneration, but only time will tell if they fully recover. There has been extensive damage to their biology.

Very well, then. Let’s proceed.
