- Captain, these assaults are not going to stop. Whatever the Borg have done here, they seem to be exercising a strong degree of influence over Starfleet in this sector. It’s almost as if–

- Character
- Sisko
- Dialogue
- We’ve acquired a sample from a derelict vessel that I was hoping you could take a look at. The derelict was unmanned, but we have reason to believe that it was, at one point, a Borg ship.

- Sisko
- Dialogue
- But there was something unusual about this particular derelict ship. Its systems were embedded with Transogen, almost as if it was required for the ship’s functionality.

- Character
- Sisko
- Dialogue
- I want to know what the Borg are doing in this sector, and I want to know what they were doing with Transogen embedded into their systems. What benefit could it possibly be providing them?

- Dialogue
- This isn’t a trivial request, Benjamin. The last time I encountered the Borg was back in Wolf 359… It’s not something that I want to remember. We lost some of our best officers in that encounter…

- I know, Harper. I was there. I’ve suffered at the hands of the Borg just as much as you have. Which is why the duty is falling on us to understand why they have started encroaching into this sector.

- Fine… I’ll take a look. But it’s going to take a while. In the meantime, maybe there’s something that you and your Independent friend here can do for us.

- Dialogue
- One of our security arrays out in the Leebyrn system has started to malfunction. I’m guessing that a celestial body has collided with it and caused a misalignment. I’d like you to go and check it out.

- Of course, it’s the least we can do. Commander, once the samples from the derelict have been transported over to Starbase 185, lay in a course for the Leebyrn system.

- I’m still trying to figure this out myself, Major. Whatever those things were, it’s clear to me that they’re not part of the Borg Collective. At least, not anymore…

- Captain, something is troubling me. Those creatures spoke of “accepting an offering”. You don’t think… You don’t think that the samples we acquired from the derelict had something to do with it?

- I’m not sure right now, Lieutenant. All I know is that a new threat has made itself known to us, and we cannot take it lightly. I have a bad feeling that this is just the beginning of something terrible…

- Commander, this is a lot to take in. We’re going to need some time to decompress and see what information we can dig up on this “Node”.

- Captain, we’ve got a visual on a number of potentially hostile vessels surrounding Starbase 185. Scans of the fleet suggest that they’re of Borg origin, but something seems amiss here…
