Your existence is most peculiar, Commander Data. As I said, the Sphere is approximately three centuries old, but I can not provide an exact age without closer inspection.

It is a long story, but I will share it as soon as we are safe, Commander. The Sphere’s systems alerted me to scavengers in the area. You are in danger.

I would be delighted. I was a part of Captain Picard’s Enterprise-E crew. During the Battle of Sector 001 in 2373, our ship pursued a fleeing Borg Sphere, attempting to travel into the past.

We followed it into the year 2063. And though we did everything we could to stop the Borg Queen from assimilating Earth, we… failed. Captain Picard and the whole crew soon became drones.

They descended on Earth, and in a matter of weeks, every single human joined the Collective. The civilization, and our future, were lost. However, it was just the beginning of her expansion.

Dialogue
The civilizations of that time had nothing to withstand the technology of the 24th century. With each day, dozens of systems joined the Borg. In five years, the Alpha Quadrant was assimilated. We lost.

Wait! I understand how that sounds, but I am not a threat. She tortured me with the gift of humanity, with all of its pain and pleasures, until I lost myself in them. But when I found the strength to resist…

… it was too late. She had taken control of Picard and the rest of the crew, assimilated Earth’s population, and marched on, victorious. There was no rational way of fighting back, so I waited.

She made us construct a new Sphere, but this time to traverse between universes. I was meant to lead it into the new assimilation grounds, but at that time, my intentions had changed.

I gathered four members of my crew, purged the knowledge of the interdimensional drive, and fled here. As soon as we were out of reach, I closed the rift and put my friends in cryostasis.

It was more of a hope than a well-thought-out plan, but I knew that in the 24th century, people would know how to fight the Borg and restore their humanity. So, Commander, I have a question.

Can you help me fix this?

Even assuming that you are telling us the truth, this is not an easy task. The Borg have begun invading this universe, and though your story explains their unusual approach, it does not explain their timing.

Then we have the same goal, Commander. And I know how to help you. But first, we need to leave this place behind – the Borg will no doubt return here.

Stations, stand down. The signal must have prompted the Sphere to disable cloaking, but the initial scans indicate that all other defensive or offensive systems appear to be inactive.

Performing detailed scans… There are more odd features about this Sphere. It is structurally different from the ones we are familiar with, and it was constructed sometime in the 21st century.

There are 11,043 Borg drones aboard the Sphere, but all of them are deceased; the energy reserves are almost depleted, and are being used solely to support cryogenics and comms.

Whatever the purpose of the Sphere is, the Borg were looking for it. It must be important, despite its age and condition. If we restore power to the Sphere's base systems, we may find our answers.

Affirmative. Activating auxiliary generators. The warp drive is active, but it will only be good for one trip. Lead the way, Commander.
