Captain JeanLuc Picard wakes from a nightmare in which he relived his assimilation by the cybernetic Borg six years earlier shown in the television episode The Best of Both Worlds. Starfleet informs him of a new Borg attack against Earth, but orders the USS EnterpriseE to patrol the Romulan Neutral Zone so as not to introduce an unstable element to the fight.

The Enterprise arrives in time to save the crew of the USS Defiant which is being commanded by Lieutenant Commander Worf. After Picard hears Borg communications in his mind, he orders the fleet to concentrate its firepower on a seemingly nonvital section of the Borg ship.
