• Captain Jean-Luc Picard : I've accessed a Borg neuroprocessor and I've discovered what they're trying to do. They're transforming the deflector dish into an interplexing beacon.

  Lt. Hawk : [confused]  "Interplexing"?

  Captain Jean-Luc Picard : It's a subspace transmitter. If they activate the beacon, they'll be able to establish a link with the Borg living in this century.

  Dr. Beverly Crusher : But in the 21st century, the Borg are still in the Delta quadrant.

  Captain Jean-Luc Picard : They'll send reinforcements. Humanity will be an easy target. Attack the Earth in the past to assimilate the future.

• Captain Jean-Luc Picard : [destroying the Borg sphere]  They were firing at the surface. Location?

  Cmdr. William Riker : [going to a console]  Western hemisphere, North American continent. Looks like a missile complex in central Montana.

  Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Missile complex. The date. Data, I need to know the exact date.

  Lieutenant Commander Data : April 4th, 2063.

  Cmdr. William Riker : April 4th, the day before first contact.

  Lieutenant Commander Data : Precisely.

  Dr. Beverly Crusher : Then the missile complex must be where Zefram Cochrane is building his warp ship.

  Captain Jean-Luc Picard : That's what they came here to do, stop first contact.

  Cmdr. William Riker : How much damage, Lieutenant?

  Lt. Hawk : Can't tell. Long-range sensors are still offline.

  Captain Jean-Luc Picard : We have to go down there, find out what happened. Data, Beverly, you're with me. Have a security team meet us in transporter room 3.

  [heading to the turbolift] 

  Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Computer, mid-21st century civilian clothing. Number One, you have the bridge.

• Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Commander Worf, I need to know exactly what's been happening.

  Lt. Commander Worf : We just lost contact with deck 16. Communications, internal sensors, everything. I was about to send a security team to investigate.

  Captain Jean-Luc Picard : No! Seal off deck 16. Post security teams at every access point.

  Lt. Commander Worf : Aye, sir.

  Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Mr. Hawk. Before we lost internal sensors, what were the exact environmental conditions in main engineering?

  Lt. Hawk : Atmospheric pressure was two kilopascals above normal, 92% humidity, 39.1 degrees Celsius.

  Captain Jean-Luc Picard : 39.1 degrees Celsius. Like a Borg ship. They knew their ship was doomed. Our shields were down. Somehow, they transported over here without being detected. They'll assimilate the Enterprise, and then... Earth.

• Security Officer : It's pretty bad, sir. It looks like they control decks 26 up to 11. But when they took deck 11, they... they just stopped.

  Lt. Commander Worf : The Borg have assimilated more than half the ship in a matter of hours. Why stop there? What is on deck 11?

  Lt. Hawk : Hydroponics, stellar cartography, deflector control. No vital system.

  Lt. Commander Worf : They would not have stopped there unless it gave them a tactical advantage.

• Lt. Commander Worf : [observing the Borg constructing their interplexing beacon]  We should bring reinforcements.

  Captain Jean-Luc Picard : There's no time. It looks as if they're building the beacon right on top of the particle emitter. Once all the transponder rods are in place, the beacon will be activated.

  Lt. Hawk : Well, if we set our phasers to full power, we can...

  Captain Jean-Luc Picard : No. There's a risk that we hit the dish. It's charged with antiprotons. We could destroy half the ship. We have to find another way.
