We cannot allow them to know where our Station is located. We must first ensure that we are not being followed. Laying in an alternate course to an adjacent system.

We are the Node, and we offer you a choice – accept our gift and join our campaign, or be crushed under the heel of a new order.

This campaign you speak of refers to your skirmishes with the Borg. How are you associated with them?

Hierarch
Dialogue
We share the same association with the Borg as every single civilization that stood in their path. We were not always as you see us now. More than a century ago, we functioned as a peaceful society.

Dialogue
When the Borg discovered our home in the Delta Quadrant, our entire way of life was assimilated into the Collective. Our planet, our people, our history, and our culture were instantly eradicated.

Hierarch
Dialogue
And yet, when the time came to abandon myself and become another Borg drone, I refused. Not only could I reject the influence of the nanoprobes, but I also inspired resistance in my kin.

Consequently, the Borg Queen cast us aside. She severed our node from the Collective’s network, leaving us adrift in a universe that we no longer recognised, and one that no longer recognised us.

Cut off from the Borg Collective, with nowhere else to turn, we used the remnants of Borg technology bound to us and returned to our planet, scarred and maimed.

Dialogue
It was here, among the twisted remnants of a place we once called home, that we found our means of resistance. Our means of reprisal against the Borg.

Repairs to the fleet have been initiated. While our ships sustained significant damage during our escape from Node territory, we should be capable of restoring our fleet to full functionality.

Commander, the Node have identified themselves as one of the most prominent threats to life as we know it. They are convinced that their cause is righteous, regardless of the cost of the outcome.

If the Hierarch is truly capable of utilizing Transogen as a conduit for their control over others, then every single faction in the galaxy has been compromised.

Even if the Borg are eradicated, all who came into contact with Transogen will remain under the Hierarch’s control. We cannot allow this to come to pass.

Transogen… So this is the name you have given to the gift that I have bestowed upon the galaxy. Very well. I will adopt this nomenclature so that you may understand the weight of my blessing upon you.

The acquisition of Transogen has been a cause of conflict across the galaxy for more than a century. It is a highly contested resource. Are you saying that you are responsible for its emergence?

Transogen is the communion I have offered to the galaxy. It is a conduit that extends my will to those who would accept it… Who would accept me into their very being.

By accepting my offering, the major powers of the galaxy have offered themselves to me. They have become part of something greater – our collective resistance against the Borg.

So this is why the Node seeded Transogen throughout the galaxy. You mean to enslave countless civilizations as potential recruits in your war against the Borg.

I do not enslave civilizations, Construct. I inspire them to stand against a pestilence that has ravaged us all.

Dialogue
The Borg are a blight on life as we know it. Together, under our banners, all who accept my gift shall expedite the eradication of the Borg. A new order shall emerge, and all who reject us will perish.

Enough! You cannot stop this. You have rejected my gift, but I offer you one last chance to become something greater – you will stand with us, or you will perish beneath us. Make your choice.
