FEDERATION COUNCIL DEBRIEFING, CAPTAIN ANNIKA HANSEN, USS ENTERPRISE NCC 1701 E REFIT, FEDERATION EMISSARY TO/FROM THE BORG COOPERATIVE, STARDATE 250000.1
As you are all very well aware, we will not and can not understate the continued existential threats that all species throughout the galaxy are now facing.
After recent galactic events it is quite clear to all that the dynamics of the Alpha, Beta, Gamma and Delta Quadrants will never be the same.
The Borg Collective have agreed to send out Emissary’s to all major power’s in the galaxy. Ex-Borg drones liberated from the old Collective (originally from each of the species who wish to develop diplomatic communication channels) have been chosen in order to facilitate the building of a level of trust, security and familiarity between our cultures. I have been chosen to be a representative for Humanity due to my past experience, familiarity with the Borg and my neural network interface augmentation which allows for regular communication channels.
Vulcan, Romulan and Dominion Emissary’s have yet to be finalised.
The Borg Transwarp Conduit network has been hacked on a trans dimensional and interphasic level. We are not sure as to who or what has performed this attack on our transwarp network but as recent events have shown, someone now has the capability to use this network against us as a weapon. Despite this potential threat and other recent developments which you have already been briefed about, whole new channels of diplomatic communications and cooperation have been opened with the potential to change galactic affairs for the better, putting past conflicts and disagreements behind us as we face up to these threats and explore each other’s ‘strange new worlds’.
The best scientific and tactical minds from all four quadrants, including Dominion, Vulcan, Romulan and Voth representatives have conducted research and technological exchanges via a series of diplomatic and scientific investigation pertaining to recent Galactic affairs and events using the Enterprise’s new astrometric hub which was also designed using technologies from multiple species. Despite a few cultural misunderstanding, these collaborative efforts achieved many positive outcomes. Further first contacts have also been suggested and agreed upon for Delta Quadrant species whom the USS Voyager and IKS Mogh have already begun to establish successful diplomatic links with.
Back to the threat at hand though, The Cooperative and all other species have agreed that we do indeed face a potentially existential threat, though the nature of this threat is currently unknown.
We have attempted to match the energy signature of the weapon which emanated from the hacked transwarp conduit network to all patterns in our combined database of tactical records, as well as to astrometric records of other potential natural phenomenon.
Two possible conclusions have been reached. Though there is not an exact match to the weapons harmonic frequency as a result of the inter-dimensional nature of the attack corrupting some of the Stargazer’s sensor readings, comparison to records from the USS Enterprise NCC 1701 and the USS Voyager have identified two possible sources of this threat with similar energy signatures.
The USS Voyager has been witness to a similar attack before on stardate 51003.7, by an extra dimensional race that the Borg have designated as Species 8472, this attack as depicted behind me destroyed an entire world. Millions of drones were destroyed.

View attachment 27952 As you can see from the evidence as presented to you all in this room, the attempted attack and the scientific forensic information collected afterwards is highly reminiscent of that collected by the USS Voyager during their first encounter with this species .
Another possibility that can not be dismissed is derived from similarities between the energy weapon used in this attack and an encounter that the USS Enterprise had under the command of James T Kirk on stardate 4202.1, where an unidentified threat which has infamously been recorded as being a ‘Doomsday Machine’ was encountered on the ships second five year mission.

If there is a link between this ‘Doomsday’ device and species 8472 it is unclear, but perhaps the weapon technology was developed in parallel by two separate species, with them both developing the same or similar technology independently. Hopefully we will come to a more solid conclusion after further investigation.

To prevent such incidents from occurring again, The Borg Cooperative, Federation and all aligned species have agreed to send a contingent of diplomats, scientists, communications and tactical specialists to all transwarp conduit gateways throughout the galaxy. The structure of this will replicate the successful exploratory, diplomatic and tactical models of the space station Deep Space Nine and it’s crews interventions in the aftermaths of the Cardassian occupation of Bajor and the Dominion war as well as the discovery of the Bajoran wormhole. This model, as successfully demonstrated and commanded by Captain Benjamin Sisko (whereabouts currently unknown), has been agreed upon by all political parties from each aligned species involved in our cooperative diplomatic efforts as a way to move forward.
