- Did I catch you at a bad time?
- No, Admiral, of course not.
:04:21
I've just heard that our colony on
Ivor Prime has been destroyed.
:04:27

The moment I have dreaded for
nearly six years has finally arrived.
:04:43
The Borg, our lethal enemy, have
begun an invasion of the Federation.
:04:49
This time
there may be no stopping them.
:04:52
- How many ships?
- One, on a direct course for Earth.
:04:56
They'll be in Federation space soon.
Admiral Hayes is mobilising a fleet.
:05:01
- It will take us three hours...
- We're not going.
:05:05
- What do you mean?
- We're to patrol the Neutral Zone.
:05:10

to take advantage of the situation.
:05:15
There has been no unusual activity
along the Romulan border.
:05:21
Does Starfleet feel
we need more shakedown time?
:05:26
We're ready! The Enterprise E is
the most advanced ship in the fleet.
:05:32
I have gone over all this
with Starfleet. Their orders stand.
:05:40
Number One,
set a course for the Neutral Zone.
