It’s the damnedest thing. I was out procuring… products when I picked up something on my short range scans. Something huge.

Being curious by nature, I investigated. Next thing I know, I’m staring right in the face of a probe. I thought I was done for but it just… floated there.

No lifesigns on board. The probe has not taken any kind of significant structural damage… except for one particular point, on the starboard hull. Curious.

Odd. The database is empty, Commander. The Borg always carry information, even if they are decoupled from the Collective itself. Someone intentionally removed the data.

The Orion was telling the truth, Commander. There is a Borg probe nearby. Preliminary scans show no signs of activity.
