The Doctor and Guinan attempt to change Picard’s mind, and ultimately succeed, with Amy’s help, by taking him into the future in the TARDIS to show him the fall of the Klingon and Vulcan empires and the ultimate fall of Earth. | |||
The Doctor, Amy, Rory, Picard, Riker, Worf and Data beam down to desolate planetoid Tau Lee where they meet a party of Borg led by Conduit and agree to be allies against the Cybermen. The Doctor outlines a plan to catch up with the Cyberfleet heading towards the Borg homeworld and restore the Borg’s executive library that was destroyed by the Cybermen and which has rendered most of the collective inert. To get a copy of the library, he proposes travelling back in time. With Picard and the ship’s counsellor, the Doctor goes to Naia VII to try to get supplies of gold, an effective weapon against the Cybermen, but the humans are unable to help as their agreement with the Dai-ai prevents them from mining for it. Picard begins talks with Seelos, leader of the Dai-ai, but it is the Doctor who swings the deal before travelling back in time with Amy and Rory to the Battle of Wolf 539. There, aboard a Borg cube, they encounter Captain Picard assimilated into the Borg collective as Locutus. | |||

Locutus ignores the time travellers and they proceed through the Borg ship to a computer terminal where the Doctor copies the executive libraries. As the battle begins, the travellers slip back to the TARDIS and return to the Enterprise. Geordi the engineer has bad news, though, as, despite Borg enhancements suggested by Conduit, the Enterprise cannot achieve sufficient speed to catch the Cyberman fleet before it reaches the Borg homeworld. However, the Doctor suggests boarding the Cybership in the TARDIS. Once aboard, though, they are detected almost immediately despite splitting into two parties and soon find themselves up against the collected might of the Cybermen. | |||

Worf’s party, which includes Amy and Rory, attacks the engine room and manages to disable the engines. The Doctor’s party, meanwhile, which includes Conduit, Picard and Data, is captured by the Cybermen, but they are rescued by the arrival of the Enterprise firing a gold-infused particle beam. This destroys the Cybermen but not the Cybercontroller who is instead restrained by Data and Conduit. This allows the Doctor to restore the Borg executive libraries. Immediately, the Borg set all Cyberships to self-destruct. They all race back to the TARDIS before the fleet explodes, but then Conduit announces an end to the alliance and attempts to assimilate the TARDIS. However, the TARDIS retreats from the attack, entering Data. Data fights back then Rory and Worf physically throw Conduit into the time vortex, ending the threat. With the Cybermen destroyed, the universes revert to the way they should be and the Doctor, Amy and Rory depart for their own universe. | |||
