At Qo'noS itself, Chancellor Martok beamed aboard the IKS Sword of Kahless and joined General Goluk and Captain G'mtor with the assembled forces ready to join the defending fleet. After repelling the small force, General Klag contacted the veScharg'a and ordered them to join a large fleet halfway between the Azure Nebula and Qo'noS to defend the homeworld. Elsewhere, in Klingon Empire space, Captain Krogan and the IKS veScharg'a led a fleet of Klingon Defense Force ships against the invading Borg, utilizing transphasic torpedoes after the specifications were distributed by Admiral Edward Jellico. However, Dax finally relented and the two ships stopped to contact Starfleet Command for further orders. The USS Enterprise-E continued to chase the USS Aventine towards Federation space, with Captain Jean-Luc Picard fearing that Captain Ezri Dax would activate the Vesta-class ship's experimental quantum slipstream drive and head into a suicidal engagement. As they keep watch, they see the Caeliar emerge from their city to observe the humans, pale and dying. They set out with batteries provided by Lerxst of the Caeliar, and set up camp, unable to find food their first night.
Although Karl Graylock wanted to stay in the city and await rescue, Sergeant Gage Pembleton knew there would be no chance and they should move to the lowlands as quick as possible, hopefully to find food and water. The MACOs dug out of the ice and snow and surveyed their surroundings. The Caeliar city-ship Mantilis made a crash landing onto an unknown planet deep in the Delta Quadrant with its few survivors. On the planet's surface, Inyx of the Caeliar and the away team confronted Doctor Shenti Yisec Eres Ree after he attacked Troi, and he reveals that he injected her with a Pahkwa-thanh venom, stopping her internal damage. Hernandez modified the vessel's shielding and deflector to allow them to pass safely through a subspace aperture, although the ship was without primary power after emerging in the Azure Nebula. Doing so meant leaving behind his away team, including wife Deanna Troi, but his duty to the United Federation of Planets in light of the invading Borg Collective outweighed his personnel. Riker of the USS Titan made the most difficult decision of his career to that point, and agreed to former United Earth Starfleet Captain Erika Hernandez's assistance to depart New Erigol and escape the Caeliar. But for those who, millennia ago, had no choice… this is the hour of their final, inescapable destiny. For Captain Ezri Dax, whose impetuous youth is balanced by the wisdom of many lifetimes, the choice is a simple one: there is no going back - only forward to whatever future awaits them. Haunted by the memories of those he was forced to leave behind, he must jeopardize all that he has left in a desperate bid to save the Federation. For Captain William Riker, that choice has already been made.
For Captain Jean-Luc Picard, defending the future has never been so important, or so personal - and the wrong choice will cost him everything for which he has struggled and suffered. An audacious plan could stop them forever, but it carries risks that one starship captain is unwilling to take. Introduction The soldiers of Armageddon are on the march, laying waste to worlds in their passage.
