While patrolling the Romulan Neutral Zone, the USS Valkyrie discovered a Borg Icosahedron vessel. Clearly damaged, and apparently lacking a cohesive collective, several independent drones of various races sent out distress signals. When the Valkyrie caught up to the vessel near an uninhabited moon, a Romulan science vessel soon decloaked, and began attacking the icosahedron. The Valkyrie was not quick enough in it's attempt to end the battle. In a final attempt to destroy their enemy, the Romulan vessel rammed the icosahedron. The two vessels, locked together from the collision, began to plummet towards the surface of the moon. As the icosahedron entered the atmosphere, the Valkyrie received a transmission from Ender Durron, the ship's former Chief of Security, who had been assimilated two months earlier.
