Stardate 58863.2 (October 14th, 2378) USS Archer (NCC-78101) Earth Orbit (Starfleet Command)

Docked at Earth Station McKinley the Archer is receiving upgrades to it's weapon systems as it receives a shipment of quantum torpedoes, and new F-302 fighters, while Captain Martin is briefing Admirals Janeway, Picard, Nechanyev, and Jellico on the situation as Admiral Picard looks at her.

"Captain I've not heard the Collective in two years since Voyager returned to the Alpha Quadrant, and from what you're chief operations officer gathered it's skeptical at best," Admiral Picard says as he looks at her.

Captain Martin looks at him.

"Admiral if you take a look at the damage to the freighter it's the same damage that a Borg Cube inflicts onto it's target before they assimilates the crew and ship, and my chief ops officer never lies about his findings," Captain Martin says as she looks at him.

Admiral Picard looks at her.

"I'll have a probe sent to the sector and to figure out what to do," Admiral Picard says as he looks at her.

She nods at him.

In the Armory Lieutenant Mitchell is looking over the new phaser coupling that is being installed for testing before it will be added to the Fleet when Captain Kira walks into the Armory.

"You sure this new Phaser coupling will be more powerful then our original phaser coupling?" Lieutenant Mitchell asked as he looks at Captain Kira.

Captain Kira looks at him.
