    • The Starship Rhea has discovered a cluster of carbon planets that seems to be the source of the quantum energies rippling through a section of space. A landing party finds unusual life-forms inhabiting one of the planets. One officer, Lieutenant T'Ryssa Chen -- a half-Vulcan -- makes a tenuous connection with them. But before any progress can be made, the Rhea comes under attack from the Einstein -- a Starfleet vessel now controlled by the Borg. The landing party can only listen in horror as their comrades are assimilated. The Borg descend to the planet, and just as Chen accepts that she will be assimilated, the lieutenant is whisked two thousand light-years away.A quantum slipstream -- instantaneous transportation -- is controlled by these beings in the cluster, and in the heart of the cluster there is now a Borg ship. Cut off from the rest of the Borg collective, the Einstein cannot be allowed to rejoin it. For the sake of humanity, the Borg cannot gain access to quantum slipstream technology.Starfleet Command gives Captain Picard carte blanche: do whatever he must to help the beings in the cluster, and stop the Einstein no matter the cost.

Enterprise pronásledováni vzpomínkami na oběť, již splynutím se záhadným mimozemským objektem přinesl jejich přítel a kolega Willard Decker. Zatímco se James T. Kirk, Spock a Leonard McCoy snaží s nedávnými událostmi vnitřně vyrovnat, znovu se otevírá jiná kapitola jejich společné minulosti, která vyvolává podobně závažné filozofické otázky o víře, člověku a umělé inteligenci. Nedávno osídlený svět Daran IV, který se stal domovem bývalých fabrinských uprchlíků ze světolodi Yonada, rozdělují protichůdné ideologie – ti, kteří lpí na teokratické minulosti, jsou nuceni čelit vizionářům hledícím vstříc budoucnosti založené na čistě racionálním uvažování. Důstojníci Enterprise, kteří před lety svrhli Orákulum, boha ve stroji ovládajícího Yonadu, jsou po osudovém setkání s V’Gerem konfrontováni s důsledky svých minulých činů a musejí čelit rozhodnutím, jež ovlivní osud celé civilizace a je samotné možná změní navždy.
