In Ten Forward - the ''Enterprise'''s lounge and recreation facility - the Doctor is introduced to Guinan, the bartender, and they speak about the Borg-Cybermen alliance. Oddly, Guinan and the Doctor seem to be familiar with each other, which can be attributed to the fact that both are time sensitive. Guinan also knows the Cybermen and the Doctor come from another universe. It seems the Cybermen brought the two universes together and will cause Armageddon on a galactic scale. | |||
Captain Picard recieves a message from Commander Riker and the Doctor makes haste to the briefing room as well.

The captain still does not trust the Doctor, but Guinan assures him the Doctor can be trusted - to which Picard says he reminds him of her since he does not know the true identity of either. However, it now seems that at first the alliance was heading to Earth but changed course. Data tells them the Borg-Cybermen went to the planet Cogen V. Picard decrees they go there at once and send down an Away Team (Federation terminology for a party away temporarily away from a ship by transporter or shuttle). The Doctor asks that he, Amy and Rory join the Away Team as he is the only one with knowledge of the Cybermen, to which so Picard agrees reluctantly. | ||
The Doctor with his companions enter the transporter and | The Doctor with his companions enter the transporter and are all fascinated by it as it energizes. The Away Team comes under fire soon after successfully beaming down to Cogen V, but the group neutralizes the attackers with a combination of phasers and the sonic screwdriver. They find that their attackers were sentry drones that serve to defend the planet - and that there are Borg and Cybermen corpses around them. Commander Riker orders that a body of each species be taken back to the Enterprise to learned what happened on the planet, and The Doctor even brings one of the sentry drones to learn more. | ||
In the | In the sick bay, Dr. Crusher performs an autopsy on both bodies and is shocked to learn that the Cybermen still have human brains. Off to the side, Counselor Troi meets the Ponds and simply introduces herself by her first name - Deanna. She asks if the Doctor takes them on adventures, and they confirm it and tell her of their journeys with the Doctor. Troi also brings up another thing she sensed - that they are as protective of him as he is of them, to which Amy admits the Doctor is alone in the universe and he needs them more then they need the Doctor. | ||
Meanwhile, the Doctor, Data, Dr. Crusher and Geordi LaForge have been at work on the Borg and Cybermen bodies that were recovered. LaForge uses his VISOR in an effort to gain further insight and discovers something after examining both bodies: the Borg and Cybermen were killing each other. It seems an unbelievable prospect - but the Doctor is able to recover and display a video clip from the sentry drone that confirms this. | |||
Lt. Worf calls for the captain to the bridge and tells him the Borg have contacted them. The Borg wish to speak to Locutus (Picard's Borg name, which he was given when he was captured and temporarily assimilated in "The Best Of Both Worlds") about the possibility of a truce. The captain cuts the transmission saying there will be no truce. The Doctor tries to convince him but Picard is adamant that there will be no truce. | |||
