Triumph?

Zo'or was seated on his command chair, in the Mothership's bridge, a satisfied smirk on his face. *Everything is over. Finally, I have won. Their pathetic resistance is being exterminated and all the traitors, including Major Kincaid, Captain Marquette and even Agent Sandoval, have embraced the Void.* His smile widened. *Due to my advice, Da'an will be joining the Void too.* He tilted his head. *Humanity will be completely enslaved and the Jaridians will be indubitably defeated. Yes. The triumph is mine!*

Suddenly, his pleasant thoughts were interrupted by a worried looking volunteer.

"What is that you want?" Zo'or asked, annoyed.

The volunteer cleared his throat, intimidated by the Synod Leader. "I apologize for the interruption, Zo'or, but we received a disturbing message coming from outer space."

"Download the transmission on the data stream," The Taelon ordered, curious.

The volunteer nodded.

Second later, Zo'or activated the data stream and, with overwhelming fear, he heard the message.

"We are the Borg. Prepare to be assimilated. Your biological and technological distinctiveness will be added to our own. Resistance is futile."
