Alright, I guess we’re working under pressure, then. Maia, can you still integrate with the Swarm signal? We need to try and disrupt their targeting frequencies!

The scattered signal that I was targeting is dead, Montgomery. Without a frequency to hijack, I cannot integrate with the Swarm vessels.

That’s just typical, isn’t it? I suppose we’re fighting our way out, then. I’m sure that Captain Kirk would approve. We need to make a hole in their lines, Commander!

Commander, I heard about your little escapade to the Swarm nest. From the report Jaylah gave me, it sounds like destroying the nest messed with the Swarm’s targeting. Any truth to that?
Objective ID

Dialogue
That is true, Montgomery. The vessels had a targeting calibration that was being amplified by a signal from the nest. Disrupting that signal caused the ships to lose targeting temporarily.

Ah, that makes sense! That’s quite similar to how we defeated the buggers the first time around, only with much less of that atrocious music.

It also gives me an idea. We know that Maia can integrate with the Swarm by piggybacking on their communication signals.

Well, if my hunch is correct, and they always are, I believe that Maia can use the same principle to disrupt their targeting signal.

This is all just theory, and still needs to be tested. As it happens, the Enterprise picked up a scattered Swarm signal in Alpha Horunia, which matches the frequency of the signal you found.
