Serinn, the Romulans have agreed to provide a contribution to the task force. We will soon be ready to assemble.

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.

They refer to themselves as a “collective” for a reason. They all share the same knowledge and thoughts – a veritable hivemind, if you will.

Dialogue
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.

I would like to validate these theories as soon as possible, Commander. Let’s get to work.

The assimilated vessel has been disabled, Commander. Tuhellen is once again attempting to hail us.

Independent, that ship had locked targets on our location. It was just about to fire before you intervened.

Meruth was instrumental in this intervention. Her knowledge of the ship allowed us to target specific weaknesses. Without her, we would not have been able to intervene on time.

Perhaps I was somewhat quick to judge you, Independent. What can I do to make this transgression up to you?

Trust in Meruth and accept her back into your ranks. We need you to contribute forces to our task force. We will attempt to strike the heart of the Borg and drive them back from the galaxy.

A noble endeavor. You have the backing of my people, Independent. Call on us when the need arises. We will stand aside you and fight the Borg, together.

Thank you, Tuhellen. Commander, We should return to Serinn and inform him of our progress.

Well then, our third and final liberated captive has awoken while you were conducting operations with Kotahl – this time, we have a fellow Romulan in our midst!

Greetings, Independent. My name is Meruth. Serinn has briefed me on how I came to be here. I wanted to thank you for liberating me from the Borg. Well… what’s left of me, I suppose.

Not only did they butcher me physically, but also mentally – I fear my memory has been compromised. I feel… different. I cannot remember how I came to be like this.

We will need to establish contact with your commanding officer and return you to the care of the Romulan Star Empire. Can you remember who this was?

Yes, I think so… The name “Tuhellen” rings prominent in my mind.

Sub-Commander Tuhellen. I know this woman – a cunning strategist who earned her stripes through deception and subterfuge.

Return Meruth to Tuhellen. Appeal to her in the same manner as you did with the other forces. You should be able to find her on Kervas, if I recall correctly.

Exercise caution, Commander. But do not relent in your appeal – Romulan forces will be a vital component of our task force. We need Tuhellen to agree to our terms.

I am detecting another Romulan vessel emerging from cloak. I am also detecting a familiar corruption in its signature.

It’s my ship… My Valdore. It doesn’t matter what they’ve done to it, I’d recognize it anywhere.

The Valdore is locking targets on Tuhellen’s location. We must intervene immediately if we are to secure a Romulan contribution to the task force.

Thank you for agreeing to speak with us. We have come to discuss the emerging Borg threat in the galaxy. I am under no doubt that you are aware of their presence.

Indeed, I have received intel on these matters. Fascinating creatures, quite frankly. Exactly what about them did you want to discuss?

Their destruction. If we sit idly by, the entire galaxy will be under the threat of assimilation. Are you aware of the consequences of being forced to undergo this procedure?

Yes, I believe that once they get their hands on you, there’s no going back. Not quite the end I’d hope to meet myself.

Your information is accurate, but outdated. We believe we have devised a method to return those assimilated against their will back from the brink of oblivion.

Commander, Tuhellen appears to believe that we are somehow working with the Borg. We have no choice – we must raise shields and prepare to engage defensive maneuvers.
