Passing through the anomaly, we have traveled back to the aftermath of the Conqueror Borg invasion. This is the Assimilated universe, albeit Resistance led by the Enterprise-E crew reclaims it.

Wait! Such a radical move will alter everything that has ever happened – perhaps, even the fate of humanity and the Federation, as the history of humanity’s First Contact will change.

Q Junior, one and only. We’ve just spoken, though, Jean-Luc, but a week ago – don’t you recognize me? You know, troubles with Q, Nexus business, universe-scale disasters averted?

The anomalies gain energy from the existing spatial and temporal disruption. Dealing with the Conqueror Borg and reinforcing the containment should suffice.

We can start by clearing out the Collective’s forces approaching our position. They are about to flank us!

That was a close call. Captain, we should lead a strike on Assimilated Vulcan and secure our position in the Alpha Quadrant. It will, however, come with a cost.

We can’t afford such a risk. To lead people whom we have just released from the clutches of the Collective to their doom is beyond cruel. There must be another way.

Q Junior

Well, the best solution is right here – we just need to remove all of the Borg. I’ll even be humane and simply move them into a different galaxy, from where they can’t bother any of you again!

The anomalies are interrelated with the temporal containment created to withhold the hostile Borg forces of the alternate universe. We must proceed with caution to keep that containment intact.
