It is also possible that these ‘nanoprobes’ are involved in the assimilation process.
Objective ID
1,400,316,947

However, what is important to us at the present moment is that these nanoprobes give off an electromagnetic energy at a particular frequency.
Objective ID
1,400,316,947
Phase

Character
Maia
Dialogue
This frequency exists at the opposite wavelength to the recycling frequency of the Vi’dar’s shields. It is possible that the nanoprobes could bypass the shields while they are recycling.

It would be in our best interests to test this hypothesis, immediately. The threat of the Borg grows by the minute. First, we must acquire more nanoprobes.

There are pockets of Borg forces spread across the galaxy. Remnants of our previous conflict. We can acquire nanoprobes by destroying their ships.
