Commander, our curiosity about the scientific nature of the Vi’dar will have to wait. I have just intercepted an alarming emergency signal in Romulan space.

Dialogue
A civilian colony reported an attack by a force with overwhelming firepower. The signal cut out within seconds of its transmission.

This could be the Vi’dar. Attacking civilian colonies is a new behaviour, it has limited its targets to military vessels and laboratories before this point.

This change in its patterns could prove extremely dangerous. We should proceed with caution. The civilian colony lies in the Davidul system. I am plotting a course.

No lifesigns detected, Commander. Severe structural damage to the surface of the planet, located in key geographical areas.

It seems as though huge portions of landmass have been physically removed from the planet. We have seen this before. It must be the Borg, Commander.

Yes, we’re currently secure in an underground facility. It was built by the Tal Shiar years ago during the Earth Romulan war.

Its dilithium infused wall lining prevents scans from piercing it… It’s the only reason we’re still here.

Fascinating. Please transmit your exact coordinates so I can beam you aboard our vessel.

It is the Borg, Commander!

They’ve returned! They picked up our transmission! Quickly, beam us aboard before they get here!

It will take some time to get a lock on the survivors, Commander. Time we may not have. I estimate the Borg will be within intercept range in seventeen seconds.

Were we to face the Borg vessels, our odds of survival stand at 13%. They will overwhelm us.

You can’t just leave us! Please, we’ll… We’ll do anything!

You must decide, Commander. Should we attempt to rescue the survivors or leave them to the Borg?

Picking up some debris orbiting the planet. From its composition, I would hypothesize it to be the remains of the planet’s automated defenses.

It is likely that they did not have a fleet stationed here. They were practically defenseless against a ship as powerful as the Vi’dar. Attempting to hail the planet’s surface now.

No response. We should attempt to scan the planet for survivors. Perhaps there is someone who can tell us what happened here.

We’re doomed. We never should have sent that signal…
Objective ID

Dialogue
We still have a small chance of escape, Lar Dona. I have a lock on the Borg ship’s tractor beam generator.

Lar Dona
Dialogue
What? You want to fight that ship?
Objective ID
547,915,953
Phase

Character

Dialogue
In all likelihood, we cannot defeat the Borg ship. However, there is a chance that we can escape if we can disable the tractor beam. It is our only hope, Lar Dona.

We did not have a choice, Commander. I estimate that our odds of successfully rescuing the civilians and escaping the Borg are around 12%.
Objective ID

Dialogue
However, our survival comes with a new threat that we must overcome. The Borg have come for the Vi’dar sooner than expected. We are running out of time.

We are sorry. We will not be able to lock on to your coordinates in time.

Please, don’t leave us! The Borg… They’ll take away who we are, that is a fate worse than death!

Commander, the Borg vessels are approaching. We must escape before they enter intercept range. Plotting a course for our Station, maximum warp.

The odds of surviving a concentrated assault by the Borg are astronomical, Lar Dona. The fact that some of your people are here is worthy of celebration.

Yes, I do not mean to be ungrateful. You saved us and I will never forget it. Thank you, Commander.

Unfortunately, this attack speaks to a much larger threat. The Borg have come for the Vi’dar sooner than expected. We are running out of time.

Not precisely. We merely disabled the generator. The Borg will adapt and the tractor beam will be functional again soon. We must escape while we have the chance.
