"In The Pale Moonlight" Line-by-Line

[Vanyel]

The technology required to achieve this biological and artificial interface is far beyond our capabilities. There are many advantages.

 

[Admiral Shran]

Speed being the most obvious. This ship literally just thinks what it wants, and then it happens.

 

[Vanyel]

Fascinating.

 

[Admiral Shran]

They either don't see us, or don't see us as a threat.

 

[Vanyel]

Transporter chief.

 

[Admiral Shran]

O'Brien here, Captain.

 

[Vanyel]

If your fix on the away team wavers in the slightest beam them back immediately.

 

[Admiral Shran]

Count on it, sir.

 

[Vanyel]

Captain, this in incredible. We’ve entered what appears to be the Borg nursery.

 

[Admiral Shran]

Describe it.

 

[Vanyel]

From the look of it the Borg are born as a biological life form. It seems…that almost immediately after birth they begin artificial implants. Apparently the Borg have developed the technology to link artificial intelligence directly into the humanoid brain. Astounding.

 

[Admiral Shran]

Commander?

 

[Vanyel]

What is it?

 

[Admiral Shran]

The ship appears to be regenerating. Perhaps this explains why they have not taken notice of our presence. Their collective effort is being directed into repairing this vessel.

 

[Vanyel]

Captain. The Borg seem to be using their combined power to repair the ship.

 

[Admiral Shran]

Transporter Chief, beam the away team directly to the Bridge.

Let's get the hell out of here. Warp eight. Now, Mister Crusher. Engage.

 

[Vanyel]

Captain, the Borg are in pursuit.

 

[Admiral Shran]

On screen. Magnify.

 

[Vanyel]

Increase to 10 to the 3rd power. It’s continuing to regenerate.

 

[Admiral Shran]

Let's see if we can outrun them. Lieutenant La Forge, I want maximum warp

For as long as we can hold it.
