"The Vulcan Trilogy" Line-by-Line!

[Admiral Shran]

Oh, I don't know, Guinan. They paid us a visit. It seems only fair that we return the courtesy.

 

[Vanyel]

Captain’s Log, Supplemental. We have been attacked without provocation by an alien race which Guinan calls the Borg. It appears that we have neutralized their vessel. Commander Riker is leading an away team in an attempt to learn more about them

 

[Admiral Shran]

There are no life sign readings.

 

[Vanyel]

I’ve laid in coordinates that should set you down in the least damaged section of the Borg ship.

 

[Admiral Shran]

Set phasers on stun. Be ready to increase power in case we need it. Energize. .... I wonder why they don't react to us, or why the Enterprise didn't read any life signs, especially with this many of them.

 

[Vanyel]

Perhaps because this ship was being scanned for individual life signs. Apparently, when they are in these slots they become a part of the whole and no longer read as separate life forms.

 

[Admiral Shran]

Captain.

 

[Vanyel]

Go ahead Number One.

 

[Admiral Shran]

Our readings were incorrect. The Borg crew survived. They appear to be in some kind of stasis.

 

[Vanyel]

Explain.

 

[Admiral Shran]

There are slots along the wall, kind of like compartments. There are two Borg in each.

 

[Vanyel]

Captain, I would theorize that the Borg are somehow interconnected through these slots and are working collectively.

 

[Admiral Shran]

We're going try to access their main computer.

 

[Vanyel]

Commander, I believe each slot is designed for a specific Borg. Here is where the connection is made.

 

[Admiral Shran]

Like a juggernaut, it could begin moving at any moment.

 

[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.
