to keep his promise.
That's when he began talking about
the need for us to make sacrifices.
Before we realised it,
this was the result.
What happened to them?
Lore began to experiment,
trying to remake us in his image.
This is the result of my encounter
with the Enterprise.
You can see
I don't welcome your presence here.
I'm sorry you feel that way.
We just came to get our people.
We won't cause you any more trouble.
Tell me about my friend.
- Friend?
- The human called Geordi.
I wish I could tell you about him.
He may be held inside the compound.
I cannot help you.
I cannot risk our being discovered.
Could you at least show us
the way into the compound?
There are tunnels
beneath the compound
which connect
with the control ducts.
Show us. If we can determine
the compound's geography,
we can form a rescue plan.
Data?
- Who's there?
- Geordi?
Captain.
We're getting out of here.
Come on, hurry! Data was just here.
He went to get something.
Too late!
Lore suggested I try to develop my
sense of humour. What do you think?
It needs a little work.
What's happening?
I'm attempting to neutralise
your pain receptors.
What are you gonna do to me?
I am implanting nano-cortical fibres
in your cerebrum.
They will learn and mimic
your neural-firing patterns.
Once they are in place, I will
destroy the existing brain cells.
We'll see if the artificial network
can control your cognitive functions.
Data, listen.
Lore is controlling you.
He's transmitting a carrier wave
to affect your positronic matrix.
If the procedure is a success,
your cognition
will be considerably improved.
Don't you care
that he's manipulating you?
But there is a 60-percent chance
you will not survive the procedure.
I don't care much for those odds.
They are a cause for concern.
However, I still have
Troi and Capt Picard.
Odds are one of the procedures
will succeed.
Help me!
He tried to escape. The force field
sent him into neural shock.
If he dies, Lore will blame you!
See if the corridor is empty.
Drop it, or I will break his neck!
Take him!
What have you done to him?
I will be back for him later.
Geordi, are you in pain?
No. I'm just a little dizzy.
I was able to take
part of a transceiver
from the guard's interlink system.
I think that it uses
a kind of phased-pulse technology.
Could it be modified
to generate a kedion pulse
that would reboot Data's program?
Yeah, it's possible. See if
you can locate the phase circuitry.
I'll watch the door.
Alright.
- I think I've found it.
- OK, good.
Do you see anything
we might use as a flux inhibitor?
No sign of the Borg ship.
I'm filtering out the interference.
We'll be in transporter range
in 19 seconds.
- I'm getting sensor resolution.
- There's the ship!
We'll enter orbit here!
Helm, new course,
heading 052, mark seven.
Aye, sir.
Dropping out of warp
in eight seconds.
We should have 45 seconds
before they intercept.
Let's hope it's enough.
Emergency deceleration
in five seconds.
Hold on!
Report.
We are in orbit, sir. The Borg ship
is moving to intercept.
Bridge to transporter rooms,
begin evacuations.
The Borg will be in weapons range
in 32 seconds.
We can't locate Capt Picard's team,
Cmdr Riker or Lt Worf.
- Crusher to Salazar, report.
- Pulling the last teams off now.
Six people are unaccounted for.
Keep trying.
They're powering up their weapons.
Come on, Chief, it's now or never.
- They're preparing to fire.
- Raise shields.
- Port nacelle has been hit.
- Helm, get us out of here.
- We've lost warp engines.
- Evasive manoeuvres, full impulse.
- Shields down to 80 percent.
- Fire phasers.
Direct hit, no damage to their ship.
- Shields down to 73 percent.
- What's the warp-engine status?
Still down. We can't outrun them.
Helm, set a new course,
heading 344, mark six, full impulse.
That heading
takes us directly into the sun.
The databank should have information
on metaphasic
