[Vanyel]

View screen shows many destroyed, burning starships.

Shelby: The Tolstoy. The Kyushu. The Melbourne.

 

[LeadHead]

Worf: Sir, sensors are picking up unusually strong eddy currents bearing 2-0-0 mark 2-1-1.

 

[Vanyel]

Riker: Data, Analysis.

 

[LeadHead]

Data: It could indicate the course of the Borg Ship, Sir.

 

[Vanyel]

Riker: Ensign Crusher set in a course that follows those currents. Commander Shelby prepare to initiate your plan to separate the saucer section when we find the Borg.

 

[LeadHead]

Shelby: Captain, I must remind you, Captain Picard was briefed on that plan, The Borg will be prepared for it.

 

[Vanyel]

Riker: I'm aware of that Commander. In fact, I'm counting on it.

 

[LeadHead]

Shelby: Crusher, Cartano, Gleason, Report to the Battle Bridge.

 

[Vanyel]

Riker: Mr. Data, Mr. Worf I have a special mission for you.

 

[LeadHead]

The Borg Cube drops out of Warp.

Picard is escorted to a Borg Viewscreen which engages, showing the Enterprise Battle Bridge.

Riker: (on screen) Locutus of Borg, this is Captain William T. Riker of The USS Enterprise.

 

[Vanyel]

^^^skipped a part.

The Enterprise catches up with the Borg Cube. On the Borg view screen is Riker.
Riker: Locutus of Borg, this is Captain William T, Riker of the USS Enterprise.

Locutus: You may speak.

Battle Bridge.
Riker: We wish to end the hostilities.

 

[LeadHead]

^I thought since those were both Riker lines that they'd be combined, whoops.

Riker: We wish to end the hostilities.

 

[Vanyel]

^^^^your right, my mistake.

Locutus: Then you must unconditionally surrender.

 

[LeadHead]

No worries.

Riker: We are prepared to meet to discuss your terms.

 

[Vanyel]

Locutus: It is unlikely that you are prepared to discuss terms. It is more likely that this is an attempt at deception.

 

[Leandar]

Riker: Come now, Locutus. If Picard's knowledge and experience is part of you, then you know I've never lied to him. You should also implicitly trust me, is that not so?

 

[LeadHead]

Riker: Come now Locutus, if Picards knowledge and experience are part of you, then you know that I've never lied to him. You should also implicitly trust me, is that not so?

 

[Vanyel]

Locutus: Picard implicitly trusted you.

 

[LeadHead]

Riker: Then trust me now; meet to discuss your terms.

 

[Vanyel]

Locutus: Discussion is irrelevant. There are no terms. You will disarm all your weapons and escort us to sector 0-0-1 where we will begin assimilating your culture and techno (Riker has communications cut.) Mr. Gleason, can you pinpoint the source of the Borg transmission?
