Location: Captain's Ready Room

Eve stepped off the Turbo-lift onto the Bridge, turning off the PADD as she did so. Lots of detail on Angeline's life and career, very little on why she hadn't been reclaimed. Why? What possible reason did Starfleet have not to even try? Was that why they'd sent her? She made her way over to the Ready Room, noticing that someone else was coming out. Her mind was whirling with her own thoughts, so she did not notice his general air of anxiety.

She hit the doorchime, and the door opened. She stepped in, and came forward.

"I thought you might appreciate a status report on the Intruder and his reasons for attempting to break in to Science Lab 14," She said, sitting down opposite him.

Terrakian nodded. "Of course."

"To cut a long story short, it seems that Borg in Stasis is his wife." She saw the incredulous expression on his face. "Yes, that's what I thought. So I checked the records on her, something I hadn't had a chance to do yet."

She handed him the PADD. "Angeline Deshaine, assimilated at Wolf 359, and recovered from the Borg Cube after it was defeated by the Enterprise-D. I checked the report from the Borg Reclamation Project to see why she hadn't been reclaimed yet, and all I could find was a mention of anomalous readings. I have the LHT going a little deeper to see what those readings are." She hesitated. "If I can't find out that way, I'll have to go in myself. I will wait till Ensign Blake has recovered then use the Mecha-Neural Interface so that she can monitor my progress." She shivered despite herself, as memories of the last time she'd scanned a Borg flooded through her. "I just hope it doesn't come to that."
