Message: <blockquote data-quote="myrdden" data-source="post: 881388" data-attributes="member: 549">SPOILERS FOR UV23 (and others...)The episode begins with an arctic expedition team finding the remains of a craft embedded in a glacier.  Their excavation finds two Borg bodies and they set up a base camp.  As they examine the bodies one of them revives and begins to assimilate the team.  (I thought this part was well done.)Starfleet (which apparently has jurisdiction over everything) sends a rescue team to find the expedition after they don't check in after a few days.  The rescue team finds the camp empty and Starfleet monitors a craft leaving Earth at warp speed.Enterprise is brought in to intercept the craft (which is believed to have the kidnapped expedition team) since it will be passing near their position.  They have no idea where the ship is until they receive a distress call from a Tarkalian craft under attack.  The Enterprise arrives to witness the modified earth vessel cutting up the Tarkalian ship.  They disable the Borg craft, but do not pursue it as there are survivors on the Tarkalian craft.The survivors are broght on board where it is discovered that nanoprobes are transforming them into cyborgs.  Phlox tries to treat them but becomes infected.  The Borg scramble away into the bowels of the ship.Reed and a security team tries to take down the two Borg who are modifying the Enterprise for some unknown purpose.  Their weaponry is useless against the Borg's shields.  Archer tells them to fall back and opens an exterior hatch to the room and blows the two Borg into space.  Reed is disturbed by their inability to pierce the shielding and researches a way to increase their firepower.The Enterprise catches up to the now VERY modified Borg vessel.  The Borg tell them resistance is futile and begin to fire upon the Enterprise.  The Enterprise gears up to fight back, only to find that the Borg modifications interfere with their systems, essentially making them dead in space.  The ship takes a pounding from the Borg.  Meanwhile Phlox figures out that the nanoprobes are susceptible to Omnicron radiation and subjects himself to a large dose.Reed and Archer beam over (yes they used the transporter) to the Borg vessel in hopes of disabling it.  Simultaneously the Borg send their own boarding party (which actually does nothing but walk around).  On the Borg ship, Reed and Archer battle through several Borg (their weapons were unusually effective) to reach the main power source of the ship.  They plant a couple of charges, beam off and destroy the ship.  Actually they disable it first and then destroy it using phase cannons and photon torpedoes (they looked like photon torpedoes).The Enterprise warps away but they discover that the Borg sent a subspace message into the Delta quadrant detailing Earth’s position.  T’Pol notes that it would take at least 200 years for the message to reach the Delta Quadrant.  Archer notes that perhaps all they have done is delay the invasion until the 24th century.I have more to say about the episode, but it’ll have to wait until I get back from a business trip.Myrdden</blockquote>
