Subject: GRAIL - "Last Look Back" - The message

"Do you have any other thoughts or ideas that you think might be

usefull?" asked Alison.

"Not really, I just would like to get there as soon..." Kyp stopped

suddenly and fell to the floor. He covered his eyes and began to scream on

the floor.

He was no longer on the ship mentally, he was back on Gamma

Alteries. He was surrounded by his parents, but something wasn't right

about it, they seemed different, but all the same some how. He looked

around and then it struck him, these weren't his parents at all, but borg

drones of them. He began to run away screaming for help but more drones

came after him. They closed in all around him.

"Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated."

Suddenly he opened his eyes and there he was back in his room with

the Alison. She was trying to help him up.

"What the hell was that all about?" she asked.

"I'm not sure, but I think that the Borg have tapped into the

assimilated Alterians telepathic link. I can hear them, and I'm sure that

they can hear me. I'm in direct contact with the collective. I can hear

their every thoughts. I need to be alone right now, would you please excuse

me." Kyp left his quarters and went to one of the Holodecks.
