I’m starting to see what had my patients so rattled. Even being this close to the Borg is a highly disconcerting experience. Maybe we should consider leaving before more of them show up?

We can’t leave just yet. We need samples of that derelict. I want to know what Transogen is doing embedded into the systems of a Borg vessel.

Thank you for joining us here, Commander. I understand that Deep Space Nine is our usual point of departure, but we had a small job to take care of first.

Now that the away team you rescued from the Adelphi have been discharged from medical supervision, I felt it was time for them to enjoy some shore leave on Bajor.

I wanted to give them a personal escort and thank them for their service. Which reminds me, there’s a new face on board. I don’t think you’ve been formally introduced. Lieutenant?

Greetings, Commander. I’m Ezri Dax, Lieutenant Junior Grade. I’m a recent addition to Deep Space Nine. It’s an honor to finally meet you. I’ve heard so much about you!

A pleasure to meet you, Lieutenant Dax. What purpose will you be serving on this mission?

I’ve been assigned to look after the away team rescued on the Adelphi mission. They were all deeply disturbed by such a close encounter with the Borg.

Frankly, I think it would be helpful for me as a counselor to witness this kind of presence for myself.

Major, I would prefer not to be judged by the actions of my predecessors. I want to join this mission because I feel that empathizing with my patients’ experiences will make me a better counselor.

An admirable notion, Lieutenant. But enough talk, it’s time to see what’s happening out there. Commander, lay in a course for the Vejvoda 9 system. We depart on your mark.

It’s good to see that you’re still with us, Commander. I want the samples taken from the derelict analyzed as soon as possible. We’re missing a part of the bigger picture here.

Major Kira
Dialogue
Uhm, Captain, need I remind you that Deep Space Nine is off limits? Constable Odo has ordered a strict ban on Transogen anywhere on board the station. He thinks it brings out the worst in people.

Phase

Character
Sisko
Dialogue
Yes, I’m aware of the Constable’s ruling. And I want to avoid invoking his ire just as much as you do. So naturally, we’ll have to bring these samples somewhere else for analysis.

Then we’re done here. It’s time to move out, people. We need to put some distance between us and this system.

Captain Sisko, scans of the derelict vessel have concluded – it appears to be of Borg origin, yet our scans have yielded a number of unexpected results.

Tell me what we’re looking at, Commander.

Dialogue
Firstly, there is no biological matter on board the vessel. If this ship was manned at any point, then all assigned crew have been either captured or evacuated.

Also, while the derelict’s hull appears to be composed of a tritanium-based memory alloy typically associated with Borg ships, there are several additional unusual features.
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Maia
Dialogue
The vessel appears to be lacking in key hardware known to be used to sustain Borg Drones, such as regeneration alcoves. Also, the vessel’s systems are embedded with traces of Transogen.

Transogen? What could the Borg possibly be doing with Transogen?

Damn, it looks like we’ve been spotted. Commander, engage attack pattern Delta-4!

Dialogue
Commander, do you copy? If the navigational logs you acquired from the Borg scouts are accurate, then this is where they were deployed from.
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Maia
Dialogue
Major, our sensors have detected a significant amount of debris littering the vicinity. Scans of debris samples indicate that they are fragments of Borg technology.

Well, whatever happened out here, we missed it. What should we do now?

Sisko
Dialogue
Commander, have your scans of the vicinity picked up anything else?
Objective ID
62,466,778
Phase

Character
Maia
Dialogue
There may be something, Captain. An unidentified derelict vessel has been observed at the coordinates transmitted to your bridge.
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Sisko
Dialogue
Whatever it is, we’d better investigate. It may help us understand who the Borg have been fighting out here. Let’s get moving.
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Sisko
Dialogue
Commander, we’ve had time to analyze the intel gathered from your encounters. By cross-referencing the navigational logs of both ships, we were able to ascertain their point of origin.
Objective ID
88,649,622
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Sisko
Dialogue
Both ships appear to have started their journeys in the Vejvoda 9 system. We’ve been intercepting Cardassian reports for months about skirmishes between unidentified combatants out in that sector.
Objective ID
88,649,622
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Sisko
Dialogue
Naturally, we assumed these incidents to be nothing more than localized feuding. However, the intel acquired from your previous mission is starting to paint a clearer picture.
Objective ID
88,649,622
Phase

Character
Sisko
Dialogue
It’s almost as if the Borg are at war with someone. And they’ve been encroaching further into the Alpha Quadrant in order to assimilate or “recruit” more drones for their campaign.
Objective ID
88,649,622
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Sisko
Dialogue
I think it’s time that we stop postulating theories and start examining the evidence with our own eyes. The Defiant will be undertaking a mission to Vejvoda 9 to check what’s happening out there.

Seeing as you’ve been so closely involved with this operation, I thought you might like to join us?

Excellent. You’ll find the Defiant in orbit over Bajor at the following coordinates. Join us when you’re ready to depart.
