You said you had only four crew members aboard the Sphere in cryostasis capsules. Are they the only survivors?

The biological matter of Borg drones decays over time, regardless of the degree of augmentation. In three centuries, only those in the active capsules remained undamaged.

Those that I had to leave behind are, unfortunately, unlikely to still be alive. Commander, since my companions have been assimilated, are you capable of bringing them… back?

Although reverting assimilation is rare, it is not impossible. Captain Picard had restored his humanity during your time, and should our histories align, other successful procedures were performed.

Of course. I will prepare them for transportation. You will have 27 minutes before the cryostasis degrades without power.

Connection established. It is much easier to operate on the drones in cryostasis, with no active resistance to the severing of the link. Everything seems in order, for now.

Data? You look different… But I’m glad you’re safe, my friend! As of our mission… We didn’t stop the Collective, did we? I am the Borg, or… I was the Borg. What even happened?

Dialogue
Everyone organic was assimilated. The Earth, the future Federation, everything in our universe became the Collective. So I found help in another dimension, in the 24th century.

Unbelievable! And yet here I am, the proof of your words. But how did you cross universes?

Data
Dialogue
Lily Sloane’s interdimensional drive idea. I completed and improved its design to avoid energy dissipation. This was our way out. And our friend here will help us fix it to make things right.

We shall defeat the Borg Queen and free our universe. But we need to fix the Sphere first. We constructed it together – you know what we need to do.

It’s no easy task to just regain individuality again, and then immediately become an engineer, Data! But… I know engineering, somehow. Damn, the Borg really know how to mess with our brains.

Alright, let’s patch it up. As I remember… As we all remember, apparently, we should start with the auxiliary systems. The engine relies on them, so it doesn’t blow itself to smithereens.

This one needs freshly extracted Gas, though. Otherwise, the decay of chemical reactions interferes with the energy supply, and… lots of other engineering explanations. Just trust me here.

Freshly-mined Gas acquired. Sending the survey ship with resources back to the Station. What else do we require?

Materials for structural elements, as well as heavy metals for some of the electrochemical sensors and wires.

These elements are in abundance in the Station’s storage holds. Feel free to use them as required. If this is all, then we will return to the Station.

Dialogue
Wait a second, Data. This engine’s version is much more advanced than Lily’s sketches; I’m trying to recall how we’ve improved it, but nothing comes to mind. Do I have post-Borg amnesia? Is that a thing?
Objective ID

Data
Dialogue
No. The improvements I made were independent of the Borg – this was my one of my fallback mechanisms, a way to guarantee that, should I leave, the Queen would not be able to follow me.

This explains why your Sphere was the only ship piercing the dimension. Do you think the rest of the Collective has figured out the drive’s design?

Data
Dialogue
That is highly likely. They may have discovered that they need Klingon optical chip readers, or their analogue, in the engine’s computing systems. And we surely need a new one right now.

Finding one could be a challenge, but there is a chance one of our Klingon contacts has them. Commander, I am plotting a course to meet with Uklahl, the independent Klingon scientist.

Sending a Klingon ship after them would be a valid precedent for war, but a greedy pirate who just happens to be in their way? Who could’ve known.

Letting Klingon warriors rot in an enemy’s brig does. Giving them a fighting chance is the greatest honor we can grant them. So, Commander, you still want those optical chip readers?

As I said, we shall do our best. The process may be smoother than expected, since your crew has not been connected to the Collective for a long time. The link is also weaker in parallel dimensions.

The best way to ensure their integrity is to remove their neural transceivers. Yet it must be reinforced with reminding them of their past memories to trigger a strong emotional response.
