For now, but how long until the vacuum begins to expand again?

We are ready to proceed with the experiment. Commander, we will need to ionize a portion of Dilithium in order to engage the baryonic pulse.

I estimate that 25M Dilithium should suffice.

How can we possibly go any slower? Readings from the vacuum are becoming more and more erratic. Something has to be done. Meet me there immediately.

VESTA’s behavior is… concerning. We should remain vigilant, Commander. There is no way to predict what she might do.

While you were out making nice with the organics, my Borg kept the vacuum from expanding. The problem is, your method isn’t working anymore.

It appears that the vacuum has adapted somehow. The ion bursts are no longer interfering with its electromagnetic wavelength.

Exactly. We don’t have much time left. Have you found a lab?

Negotiation is our best tool in this situation, VESTA. We must proceed carefully, to avoid–

They are more my people than you ever were. Now, give me one good reason why I shouldn’t order my Borg to take that lab by force.

Because you still need our help to interpret the data. Please, be patient. In the meantime, a baryonic pulse at the right frequency may be enough to halt the expansion, temporarily.
