Responding to a distress call from Ohinaka III, the Enterprise confronts an ominous-looking alien vessel orbiting the planet. When efforts to communicate with the ship prove fruitless, an Away Team transports to the surface where they discover a group of Borg who are both hostile and self-aware. A battle ensues during which Data (Brent Spiner) experiences his first emotion, rage.

Fearing an invasion, the Federation prepares for an all-out attack. meanwhile, one of the Borg is captured and establishes a peculiar bond with Data, ultimately convincing him that feeling emotion is worth any price. When the two escape on a shuttlecraft, the crew tracks them to an explored planet - and the descent into darkness begins. Part one of two.
