Do not place the blame for the atrocities committed by the Borg on us, Soran. These people have been granted a peace that they have not known for a long time – a peace you would deprive them of.

I’ve stopped you with my own hands before, and I will do so again. But it need not come to that. I will say this to you once and once only – surrender yourself to Starfleet custody. This needs to end here and now.

You are just as foolish as you always were, Picard. You are blinded to the bigger picture! I will revive our lost civilization, even if I have to do so without the aid of these shambling corpses!

Dialogue
You have our sympathies, Romi. However, we cannot falter now. Before we attempt to find Soran and put an end to this incident, our ships must be repaired. Of particular concern in the Enterprise.

That’s awfully considerate of you, Independent. 7.5M Tritanium should seal our hull breaches.

Dialogue
Commander, we have acquired visual confirmation of the assimilated El-Aurian fleet. There are no signs of the SS Revenant. However, these should be the same ships that are under Soran’s control.

Romi
Dialogue
Prepared? No, of course not. I know that if Soran’s plan were to succeed, then that could potentially mean the revival of the El-Aurian civilization. But…

Dialogue
Whether it be under the reign of Soran, or under the control of the Borg, the El-Aurian people will never be free to rebuild what was lost. This is not an existence. This is servitude.

The time has come to do what must be done, Independent. Trigger the killswitch.

The killswitch virus has been deployed. However, defenses have been triggered within the closed network. It will take 12 minutes and 47 seconds to propagate throughout the entire network.

Alright, Independent. It’s time to put our theory into practice. But it’s not going to be easy.
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Somna
Dialogue
In order to establish a secure connection with the closed network Soran is using to control the assimilated El-Aurians, you’ll need to be in close proximity to the fleet.
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Somna
Dialogue
Once you’re nearby, execute the program I’ve just uploaded to your systems. That should detect and infiltrate the network, then deploy the killswitch. If all goes to plan, well… You’ll know if it happens.

You’ll be too dead to care. I told you, Romi – regardless of whether the deployment of the killswitch virus is successful or not, this won’t be easy.

I’m sure you won’t. Now go on, get out of here. You’ve got a fleet to find.

According to our records, the assimilated El-Aurian fleet should still be located in the Amargosa system. If we find them, we will surely find Soran too.

And my boy along with him. Lay in a course as soon as you can, Independent. I’ve had enough of this experience to last a billion lifetimes. It’s time to lay these El-Aurian ghosts to rest. All of them.
