Have you made a decision, Captain?

Character
Captain Janeway
Dialogue
I have. Much as it pains me, we have to use the Pakik device to help us against the Borg.

Lieutenant Commander Tuvok
Dialogue
It is the most logical course of action, Captain.

Character
Captain Janeway
Dialogue
I have a concern, though. What will happen to the anomaly that has formed in Samarklew? If the Pakik device tears that wider, it could be disastrous.
Objective ID

Character
Seven
Dialogue
We have been discussing that possibility. Our scans from Samarklew showed unusual levels of exotic matter. The Borg are using it to break open the Progenitor Network.

Seven
Dialogue
The Pakik device also generates exotic matter. Its negative mass was intended to keep the path back to the Alpha Quadrant open. However, we believe we can reconfigure it to generate antimatter instead.

Character
Lieutenant Commander Tuvok
Dialogue
If we flood the anomaly with antimatter particles, they will react with the exotic matter, canceling out the negative mass and closing the anomaly.

Can you reconfigure it in time?

Yes, Captain. We have already begun our calculations.

Good. I’ll coordinate with the First Minister and T’Soth so that we’re ready to go once all of the preparations have been made. Ah, speaking of…

Torres has sent word. She’s done with the upgrade schematics. I’m transmitting them to you now, Commander.

We will require 2.5M Tritanium to install these upgrades.

Upgrades installed. Running diagnostics… Everything seems to be in working order. The shielding will provide further defense against tetryon radiation.

Captain Janeway

Good. It won’t protect us from the blast itself, but it will protect us from its aftermath. Commander, please bring these schematics to First Minister Beyrah and T’Soth.

Captain Janeway

They’ll need to upgrade their ships with the new shield schematics. Then it’ll be time to bring the fight to the Borg.

Tell me this is the right decision, Chakotay.

Phase

Character
Commander Chakotay
Dialogue
I don’t like it, Captain, but I think it’s the only one that makes sense. As you said – if we don’t win against the Borg, we’ll have far bigger problems than getting back to the Alpha Quadrant.

Character
Captain Janeway
Dialogue
With the Coalition and Insurgence by our side, and now the Pakik bomb… I really think we can do this. Commander, what do you think?
Objective ID

Using the technology would raise our chances of success against the Borg considerably.

We’ll find another way home, Captain. This isn’t the first time we’ve had the rug pulled out from under us, and this isn’t the first time we’ve put the greater good before our own hopes and wishes.

No, Harry. We will use the device to help us defeat the Borg in Samarklew. We’re going to power it using the Installation and stop the Borg once and for all. But we will lose our way home.

Captain Janeway
Dialogue
Enough! We have to do this. If we leave now, then who will deal with the Borg? And if we go into the fight without this secret weapon and lose, none of this will matter.

What about a visit? Just a quick jump back to the Alpha Quadrant to see our families, our loved ones. We’d come right back and deal with the Borg.

There just isn’t enough time, Tom. I’m sorry. They’re too close to breaking into the Network. We have to move quickly.

Yes. Quite literally. It… It’s for the greater good.

Why is it the greater good only ever seems to apply to other people, and never us?

Tom…

Captain Janeway
Dialogue
I’m sorry, Mr. Paris, but I have made my decision. Lieutenant Torres, I need you to work on some shield upgrades. If this is anything like what happened in Hasak, we’ll need some extra protection.

And we’ll need it on the double.

Commander. To what do I owe the pleasure?

You need to upgrade the shielding on your ships to contend with intense tetryon radiation.

I just received a very angry transmission from T’Soth, Commander.
Objective ID

She extrapolated that the weapon we intend to use against the Borg must be the Pakik tech we promised to retrieve on her behalf.
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Captain Janeway
Dialogue
So she said before demanding all of our data on the topic. She said you gave the ok.
Objective ID
865,079,567
Phase

Character
Maia
Dialogue
Affirmative. It was not worth losing an ally over. Additionally, T’Soth and her people are descendants of the Pakik. They should have any data we have regarding their ancestors.

And without access to the device, the danger posed is minimal.

Captain. Tuvok and Seven have recalibrated the Pakik device. The preparations are complete. We are as ready as we’ll ever be.

This is your Captain speaking. Soon we’ll be facing the Borg in battle. I believe in every single member of my crew, and I believe that we can defeat them. We have done as much as we can for now.

…Protection from tetryon radiation? Why do we need that?

Captain Janeway has a plan. A weapon we can use against the Borg.

A weapon you can… Dammit! How long have you had the Pakik tech?

We recovered it right after the Chancellor’s assassination.

The device is not the only thing we retrieved. There were databanks, calculations, and schematics – fragmented though they are. Perhaps we can give you those.

The Pakik are my ancestors, Commander. This is my heritage. There’s no “perhaps” about it.
