| Riker: |
Geordi, what is the status of the
expected upgrade? |
| Geordi: |
Our scanners have picked up an increase
in Borg storage and CPU capacity, but we still have no
choice. Requesting permission to begin emergency escape
sequence 3F! |
| Geordi: |
[excited] Wait, Captain! Their
CPU capacity has suddenly dropped to 0%! |
| Picard: |
Data, what do your scanners show? |
| Data: |
[studying displays] Appearently
the Borg ship - with no life support suits! How can they
survive the tortures of deep space?! |
| Data: |
I believe you will look closer - I
believe that those are humans, sir. If you will look
closer I believe you will see that they are carrying
something recognized by twenty-first century man as
doeskin leather briefcases, and wearing Armani suits. |
| Riker and Picard, together: |
[horrified] Lawyers!! |
| Geordi: |
It can't be. All the Lawyers were
rounded up and sent hurtling into the sun in 2017 during
the Great Awakening. |
| Data: |
True, but appearently some must have
survived. |
| Riker: |
They have surrounded the Borg - have
found the answer by searching through our archives on
late Twentieth-century computing technology. |
