- Excellent, this is most exciting! With your task force and my knowledge of the assimilation process and how to reverse it, we stand a genuine chance against the Borg Collective.

- There’s just one more thing before we can take the fight to the Borg. We need to prove my theories in the proficiency of our partially assimilated friends in combat.

- I theorize that, while currently disconnected from the Collective, our friends should still subconsciously retain their experiences and memories from when they were a part of it.

- I have reason to believe that this information is downloaded into the brain of a subject at the moment of assimilation. If this is correct, then we can use this knowledge against them.
