- Commander, I am receiving a transmission from an unknown sender. Before I lost the signal, they were claiming to have knowledge relevant to the new V’ger Orion vessel we encountered.

- If we can spare 137M Dilithium, it should be enough to boost reception of the signal, which is being disrupted by interference from the V’ger energy cloud.

- To this end, we channeled our efforts into new weapons capabilities. But it was our downfall, for I believe this is what drew the attention of the V’ger entity.

- Like many ships before us, we were scanned by the V’ger, as the basis for the manufacture of a new force in its armada. Replicas of our ship, and even ourselves, are now out there fighting the V’ger’s war.
