Riker [OC]: Captain, we just experienced some kind of loop where everything repeats itself.

LAFORGE: I'm not sure, sir. The subroutines are pretty complicated. I'd probably have to study the data processing algorithms. It's the only way I could trace the access codes.
Picard: If we could get to the root command, we could introduce an invasive programming sequence through its biochip system and then return it to the hive.
Picard: Which would infect the entire Collective. We could disable their neural network at a stroke.
Picard: Quite right, Doctor. If all goes well, a terminal one.
Later, in the observation lounge, Picard, Riker, Data, Crusher, La Forge and Troi are assembled for a meeting.
La Forge: If this works the way I think it will, once the program starts spreading, it'll only be a matter of months before the Borg suffer total systems failure.

Picard: Comments.
Data: The Borg are extremely computer dependent. A systems failure will destroy them.
PICARD: Which under most circumstances would be unconscionable. But as I see it, the Borg leave us with little choice.
Riker: I agree. We're at war.
Troi: Not from us, but certainly from them. They've attacked us in every encounter.
Crusher: But even in war there are rules. You don't kill civilians indiscriminately.
Picard: Think of them as a single, collective being. There's no one Borg who is more an individual than your arm or your leg.
