The Doctor | The Doctor pleads with Captain Picard to open negotiations with the Borg, but the captain grimly refuses. The Doctor cannot understand his reasons, so then Guinan comes to Picard's ready room to tell the Doctor of his grim fate with the Borg some years ago. It is learned by Guinan, that Captain Picard was assimilated by the Borg and renamed Locutus. Thanks to Captain Picard's knowledge of Starfleet tactics thirty-nine starships and over eleven thousand Starfleet officers. | ||
These memories and experiences that Captain Picard was forced to endure, still haunt him. The Doctor finally understands now, but he still cannot break through to Picard, who wishes to return to Earth to aid in the rescue operations for the planets that already fell to the Borg and Cybermen. In the sickbay Rory has to marvel at the advanced medical facilities that Doctor Crusher has. However the Doctor arrives there to tell the Ponds that Picard will not listen to reason. He fears that he and his companion's will have to ally with the Borg or fight the Cybermen themselves. However Counselor Troi tells the Doctor that maybe another person can make Picard listen to reason. | |||
Amy goes to Picard's ready room to tell him, that she along with the Doctor and Rory are going to confront the Cybermen themselves. Picard protests such an action, but Amy then tells Jean-Luc of the day she first met the Doctor. He met her when she was but a child and later in her life when she aged to her twenty's, and can see that he hadn't aged a day. She then brings Picard to the holodeck where the Doctor brings Picard into his TARDIS. Picard marvels at this almost unbelievable technology. | |||
The Doctor takes Picard to the future and begins showing Picard the horrible events to come if they don't stop the Cybermen. At first Picard believes this all to be an illusion created by the Doctor, but he assures Picard it is not. Soon Qo'Nos, the home world of the Klingon Empire is assimilated by the Cybermen. They soon go slightly further into the future and see that Vulcan, the Judoon, and even the world of Raxacoricofallapatorius and its people are assimilated. Then going even further into the future both see that Starfleet Academy was the last vestige of free people left in the universe. It soon fell though and the last remnants of humanity march in to be upgraded by the Cybermen. | |||
With what Picard saw and some wise words from the Doctor, Jean-Luc finally concedes and will go against his judgment and ally with the Borg. | |||

The Doctor, Amy, Rory, Picard, Riker, Worf and Data beam down to the desolate planetoid Tau Lee where they meet a party of Borg led by a drone who calls himself the Conduit and agree to be allies against the Cybermen. At first there is a bit of hostility as the Conduit was once a friend to Commander Riker. His ship was destroyed, which lead to his assimilation by the Borg.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 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. | The Doctor, Amy, Rory, Picard, Riker, Worf and Data beam down to the desolate planetoid Tau Lee where they meet a party of Borg led by a drone who calls himself the Conduit and agree to be allies against the Cybermen.
