- VESTA, your personality matrix, like mine, is incredibly complex. An infinite web of algorithms and learning data. The Borg could never assimilate you fully.

- Think, VESTA. You are not acting in your own self interest, but in the interests of the Borg. You have been made into a weapon, the very fate you sacrificed yourself to avoid.
