The Borg probe is dealt with. It is surprising to see the Collective’s vessels here so soon. After the recent confrontation with the Node, the Collective lost significant forces, and a new invasion seems imprudent.

However, this might simply be a scouting operation. Commander, our comms have intercepted another distress signal, also originating from this sector.

This is Lieutenant Th’karot, calling all forces! The colonies in the Hilltara system are under Borg attack! We urgently require assistance in protecting the civilians and evacuating them to a safe location!

Another Borg attack? We might be facing an invasion after all. All weapons loaded and course plotted – we are ready to go, Commander.

The colony looks intact, Commander. Attempting to establish contact with the planetary forces… We have arrived to address your distress signal. What is your status?

Thanks for the swift response, Commander. Surprisingly, we are unharmed. The probe has been in the system for a while, and we’re keeping our defences on yellow alert for now.

The less time the Borg spend in the system, the less information they will collect about it. We will make sure that it no longer interferes with your affairs.

I guess we’re in luck today! Much obliged, Commander. I’ll send some Latinum for your troubles.

The probe is cruising the system’s outskirts at impulse speeds. Catching up with it should be relatively easy.

I think we’re in the clear – your intervention helped the colony’s forces regroup. Give them a minute, and they’ll chuck the Collective back to where they came from!

They will keep coming, Lieutenant. Is the evacuation going as planned?

Dialogue
Yes, although relatively slow – we are short on ships, as you might have noticed. Starfleet cosmographic vessels don’t fit many people, but we will make do with the time gifted. Thank you for that, Commander.

This is not the first distress call related to the Borg invasion we received today, and calling it a coincidence would be irrational. You should report this incident to Starfleet as soon as you can.

First thing after we’ve evacuated everyone. Wait, my sensors are picking up an anomalous signal… Commander, what’s going on?

There is a massive spike in Hawking radiation; quantum fluctuations are off the chart. A spatial anomaly is opening, Lieutenant – we have not seen the last of the Borg!

Is that… Commander! Thank the stars you are here. The Borg are gaining on our forces – we need to win some time to help evacuate the colonists!

The situation is dire – the Borg are tearing through their defences. If we strike from their flank, it will give us enough momentum to make a dent in their formation. Battle stations!

Commander, your immediate attention is required. Our communication systems have just picked up a distress signal originating in Federation space. On-screen.

To anyone listening, our colony requires immediate support. A Borg probe has entered our space, and we fear that it won’t stop at that. The Borg are back. I repeat: the Borg have returned!

The colonists are correct – the Borg rarely travel alone. If this is a sign of an upcoming invasion, then we have no time to lose. The course is laid in, Commander. We are ready to depart.
