"My people managed to elude the Borg for centuries! Outwitting them, always one step ahead! But in recent years, the Borg began to weaken our defenses. They were closing in, and Species 8472 was our last hope to defeat them. You took that away from us! The outer colonies were the first to fall; 23 in a matter of hours. Our sentry vessels tossed aside, no defense against the storm. And by the time they had surrounded our star system... hundreds of cubes... we had already surrendered to our own terror."

"I can't begin to imagine your loss. But try to see beyond your desire for revenge."

"Revenge is all I have left."

"No. As long as you're alive, there's hope. Your people's accomplisments, their knowledge, their dignity can survive in you. End this."
