Now assimilated into the Collective as "Locutus of Borg", the Borg sought to use Picard's military knowledge to assimilate the Federation. Before Acting Captain Riker could attack the cube with the Enterprise's deflector dish weapon, they were hailed from the Borg Picard. An away team beamed aboard the Borg cube and was successful in forcing the vessel out of warp. Riker assumed command as Acting Captain, and ordered the Enterprise to pursue the Borg cube. With Picard beamed aboard the cube, the Borg vessel left at high warp on a course for Sector 001: the location of Earth, and the core of the Federation.Ĭommander William T. In the ensuing Borg attack, a Borg drone beamed aboard and captured Picard. With minor damage to the Enterprise, Picard was forced to order his ship out of hiding. The Borg forced the Enterprise out of hiding by launching magnetometric guided charges into the dust cloud. Enterprise was forced to retreat to the nearby Paulson Nebula, with the Borg close behind. When Picard refused, the two vessels briefly exchanged fire. In addition to the Borg's normal hail, they also demanded Captain Picard beam himself aboard the cube for an unspecified purpose. En route, the Enterprise made contact with an unknown object: a Borg cube. With Starfleet reinforcements at least six days away, the Enterprise was on its own. When Admiral Hanson relayed this information to Captain Jean-Luc Picard, the Enterprise set a course for the Lalo's last known location. The Lalo did not respond to further hails. Roughly three hours later, Starbase 157 received a signal from the Lalo: they reported contact with a "cubical object", before being cut off mid-transmission.
That evening, the USS Lalo departed Zeta Alpha II on a freight run to Sentinel Minor IV. Starfleet's first action was to impose a fleet-wide yellow alert, warning all Federation and allied outposts. Realizing that devastation of this kind had been found even earlier on several outposts in the Romulan Neutral Zone (Federation and Romulan alike), Starfleet immediately began preparations for a possible Borg invasion.Īdmiral Hanson returned to Starbase 324 to discuss a defensive strategy against such an attack with Starfleet Command. An away team discovered that the weapons that wiped out the colony left energy signatures similar to those used by the Borg cube encountered by the Enterprise a year ago. Hanson and Lieutenant Commander Shelby of Starfleet Tactical Command arrived to investigate the disappearance. The Enterprise crew found that New Providence had been completely destroyed.literally scooped from the planet's surface.Īdmiral J.P. On stardate 43989.1, the USS Enterprise arrived at Jouret IV, twelve hours after the Federation lost contact with their colony there: New Providence.
