I should have known that this wouldn’t be a simple house call… Still, there’s no reason we can’t find the Borg Queen and appeal to her better nature – however much of it there is.

Oh, I don’t think you’re going to get very far there. You may want to try those scans again! There’s not a living being on board this ship!

You know, as we draw closer to this ominous monolith, I think it’s best if you do the talking. Don’t you?

If you are feeling nervous, then yes, it is preferable that we do the talking.

Nervous? How preposterous! I’m a man of medicine! I don’t get nervous! Now if you’ll excuse me, I’d rather she not know I was here with you.

This can’t be for nothing! Let me just check these sensors one more time…

Dialogue
Wait… Am I reading this correctly? There appears to be some sort of… rhomboid-shaped structure. Bearing 127-mark-5.

Maia
Dialogue
Scans show that the structure’s exterior is composed entirely of tritanium shape memory alloy. It is also heavily armed. This structure is a Borg vessel.

A diamond fit for a queen. How eerily romantic.

Well, we came here with a job to do, Independent. Let’s go introduce ourselves.

Dialogue
Independent, my crew have just given me the rundown on your operations together. It would appear that I owe you a significant debt of gratitude.
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Janeway
Dialogue
We’ve decided that the Borg are not to be trusted under any circumstances. I must say, this holocrew solution isn’t exactly ideal, but in light of recent discussions, I’ll take any help we can get.
Objective ID
808,698,202
Phase

Character
Janeway
Dialogue
Perhaps my First Officer’s suspicions were correct. Who knows what the Borg would have done with that data? Or if they even would have offered us a fair trade for it in the first place.
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Janeway
Dialogue
Maybe they’d just assimilate me on the spot once I handed it over. I just wish I hadn’t let desperation cloud my judgment…

Harry Kim
Dialogue
Desperate times make us do desperate things. We can’t punish ourselves for the mistakes we’ve made, Captain. All we can do is learn from them.
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Tom Paris
Dialogue
Harry’s right, we live and we learn. Still… I can’t help but wonder; what if the Borg actually did hold up their end of the bargain? What if they actually had a way for us to get home?
Objective ID
808,698,202
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Maia
Dialogue
Perhaps there is a way to find out. We could attend the meeting in the captain’s stead.
Objective ID

Character
Chakotay
Dialogue
Why would you want to do such a thing?
Objective ID
808,698,202
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Maia
Dialogue
The Borg seek Progenitor data for as of yet unknown purposes. These purposes must be determined. Securing a safe route home for your crew is also a top priority.
Objective ID
808,698,202
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Maia
Dialogue
While the Borg may engage us in battle, our holocrew will be immune to any possibility of biological assimilation. It is the logical course of action.
Objective ID
808,698,202
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Chakotay
Dialogue
As potentially dangerous as this situation may be, it also presents one of the strongest possibilities to find a way home than we’ve ever encountered before…
Objective ID
808,698,202
Phase

Character
Janeway
Dialogue
No. I cannot ask another to attend this meeting in my stead. I won’t allow it!
Objective ID

Chakotay
Dialogue
With all due respect, Captain, that decision isn’t yours to make.

Let us help you, Captain.
Objective ID

Janeway
Dialogue
I’m not allowing this in good conscience. However, you’ve proven capable of handling yourself. And you seem to have a personal stake in this investigation too…
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Janeway
Dialogue
Very well. Attend the meeting as my envoy, Independent. Find out what the Borg Queen wants with that data and, if possible, the nature of their truce with the Hirogen.
Objective ID

Phase

Doctor
Dialogue
Wait, before you go, there’s just one more thing. I was wondering if I might be able to come along with you?

Dialogue
Doctor?
Objective ID

Dialogue
I’ve spent some time with the Independent and their holocrew. I’ve also experienced the same instabilities as them, and know how to mitigate such issues. They may need me.
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Janeway
Dialogue
If you insist, Doctor. Transport to the Independent’s ship when ready. The Sphere was on a course for the Malon Vortex. It seems that the Borg Queen preferred a change of scenery from the Unicomplex.

Janeway
Dialogue
We shouldn’t keep her majesty waiting. Set a course for the Malon Vortex, Independent. And… come back to us in one piece.
