Synopsis: Q appears and asks to join the U.S.S. Enterprise crew; when Picard declines, Q instantly transports the ship seven thousand light-years, to system J-Two-Five (two years, seven months, three days, 18 hours away from Starbase 185 at maximum warp), whose sixth planet is Class-M, with a series of roads build by an industrialized civilization, but all the cities have been ripped from the surface of the planet, similar to what happened to the outposts in the Neutral Zone.

The Enterprise encounters a powerful cybernetic collective known as the Borg; the Enterprise is heavily damaged when the Borg slice out a piece of the ship containing 18 crew members, before Picard convinces Q to return them to Federation space. The Enterprise sets a course for Starbase 83.
