Commander, you’re going to want to see this. We’ve acquired a visual of a Borg Sphere, bearing 112-mark-3.

Chakotay
Dialogue
Give me a full scan of that sphere. We need to get a lock on the captain’s communicator before deciding our next move.

Character
Harry Kim
Dialogue
Something is wrong. Our sensors are getting overloaded with junk data. The Borg are attempting to obfuscate our scans.

Character
Harry Kim
Dialogue
I can’t get a clear lock, but a signature concealed in the readings looks consistent with known Starfleet readings. It’s the captain. It has to be.

Character
Chakotay
Dialogue
If you’re picking up readings from her communicator, then they must not have assimilated her yet. This wasn’t just a ruse. The Borg Queen really does want an audience with the captain.

Dialogue
So what are we going to do? Just circle them like a shark and try to look all mean and threatening? Hope they’ll be scared enough to hand her back to us?
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Chakotay
Dialogue
Not quite. We need to acquire a lock on the captain’s communicator before we can safely beam her out of there. But we can’t do that alone.
Objective ID

Character
Chakotay
Dialogue
Independent, target all communications on that sphere. We need to disrupt whatever is transmitting that junk data to our sensors.

Character
Chakotay
Dialogue
We also can’t risk them alerting the Collective to our operation. As soon as we get a lock on the captain and transport her out of there, you have clearance to destroy that Sphere.

Chakotay
Dialogue
Ready to engage on your mark, Independent. Target essential communications only until the captain is safely onboard Voyager. And please… be careful. We can’t let anything happen to her…

I’ve got several Hirogen signatures detected, approaching on multiple vectors. They’re obscuring the Borg ion trail. I can’t get a lock with this much interference.

The Hirogen are covering the Borg’s tracks. We’re closing in on them.

We need to keep some distance between us and the Hirogen while the Commander picks them off. Engage evasive maneuvers!

Thanks for joining us, Independent. I’ve requested a status report on the captain. We’re just waiting to hear back from–

I think I’ve burdened you long enough with that seat, Commander. It’s time that your captain returned to her post.

Chakotay
Dialogue
One moment… Don’t mistake what I’m about to say for insubordination. I cannot adequately express the relief I feel seeing you standing on this bridge again. However, there are matters we need to discuss.

“Go down with the ship, and never abandon a member of your crew.” Those are your words, Kathryn. No matter how dire the circumstances, we cannot betray ourselves or our ideals like this.

Janeway
Dialogue
What would you do if you were in my position? If the lives of over 130 men and women were in your hands? If a way to save them all was almost handed to you, wouldn’t you take it?
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Chakotay
Dialogue
I would trust that we would all work together to find a way home. Without sacrifice. Without blame or guilt. I would trust that they would be my crew and I would be their captain. Nothing less.

Phase

Character
Janeway
Dialogue
Yes… It would seem that you’re right, once again. While trying to act on my own, I’ve put you all in danger. A captain is nothing without her crew. You all deserve better than this.

Then be better than this, Kathryn. We’re all behind you. We always have been. All you have to do is trust us.

I’ve said enough. You have the conn, Captain. It’s good to have you back. Allow us to bring you up to speed on our operations with the Independent here. We couldn’t have found you without their aid.

Captain Janeway is currently undergoing a brief screening in Sickbay. In the meantime, we should make our escape.

Ensign Kim has deduced that Vaskan Kyrian should provide us with enough distance to decide our next move. Follow us when you’re ready. Voyager out.

Independent, it’s good to see you again. I was starting to wonder if you were going to come back to us.

There is no cause to wonder, Commander Chakotay. We are here to help.

You have our gratitude. Before we begin this rescue operation, I believe a status report is in order. Ensign Kim, why don’t you bring us all up to speed?

Character
Harry Kim
Dialogue
It’s good to finally speak directly with you, Independent. We’re fortunate to have you on our side. I’m sure the captain will feel the same way.
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Harry Kim
Dialogue
In your absence, our sensors confirmed the existence of residual ion trials consistent with known Borg dispersion patterns. We believe the Borg are taking the captain to the Karuna system.
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Harry Kim
Dialogue
We know that the captain has agreed to a secret meeting with the Borg Queen, on the Borg’s terms. I still don’t know why she’d put herself in danger like that…
Objective ID
197,727,323
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Chakotay
Dialogue
Isn’t it obvious, Harry? The Borg Queen is manipulating the captain. She knows the captain feels personally responsible for all of us being here, just like any other captain would.

Phase

Character
Chakotay
Dialogue
The Borg seem to want access to the data we retrieved back on Installation Delta. What they hope to accomplish with this data remains to be seen, but they’re using the captain to get it.
Objective ID
197,727,323
Phase

Character
Harry Kim
Dialogue
But what about the Hirogen? Why would the Borg be working with them? Why not just assimilate them?
Objective ID
197,727,323
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Chakotay
Dialogue
The benefit of working alongside the Hirogen seems to outweigh the benefits of assimilating them. We’ll look into this in due time, but for now we need to focus on retrieving the captain. Let’s get going.

You’re up, Tom. I appreciate all the help you’ve given the Doctor down in Sickbay. But for now, we need you back at the helm.

Don’t worry about it. Frankly, you’re doing me a favor. I’m glad to help down in Sickbay, but if I hear another “canzone”, well…

I’d appreciate it if you held it together for a little while longer…

I think I can manage that. Ready on your mark, Commander.

Then so are we. You know what to do, Independent. Meet us in the Zahl system.

Commander, we must resume our operation to secure Captain Janeway. Calibrations to the fleet’s holoemitters have been completed. The holocrew awaits your order to return to the Delta Quadrant.

Borg and Hirogen forces may deploy heavy resistance during the retrieval of Captain Janeway. If Voyager is to be successful in her rescue, they will require our assistance.

Commander Chakotay and the Voyager crew should be awaiting our arrival in the Murray system, where the captain’s shuttle was found abandoned. Laying in a course now.
