As I stated in my previous reports, the Borg are engaged in a conflict with a faction who have identified themselves as “The Node”.

Dialogue
The Commander here has encountered their leader, a “Hierarch”. According to this Hierarch, the Node were once part of the Borg, but were cut from the Collective at the behest of the Borg Queen.

Now, the Node have launched a war of retaliation against the Borg. The Hierarch appears to have psionic abilities – abilities that allow them to control those who have come into contact with Transogen.

Sisko

The Hierarch is now using the proliferation of Transogen as a conduit for their psionic abilities. The Node has raised an army on a galactic scale in an effort to eradicate the Borg.

Dialogue
Not entirely, Major. Thanks to Constable Odo’s ban on storing Transogen aboard Deep Space Nine, we have avoided such a fate. Even the Commander here has managed to elude the Hierarch’s control.

The Commander has shown resilience to the Hierarch’s psionic control, even after coming into direct contact with them. Given the current circumstances, this could be our ace in the hole.

Deep Space Nine cannot be the only location in the galaxy that hasn’t come into contact with Transogen. There must be others out there like us. It’s up to us to find them.

Given recent reports, you’re talking about finding a needle in a haystack here. We don’t even know where to start looking.

On the contrary, Major. In the last several hours, we have intercepted distress signals emanating from a number of systems. There are pockets of resistance out there. It’s up to us to unite them.

There’s no more time to waste. We must investigate these calls for help and gather as many allies as we can. Commander, I want you to take point on one of these searches.

They’ve been through hell out there, Captain. The crew may seem like they’ve only endured a few cuts and bruises, but the Node and the Borg were essentially fighting over them like playthings.
