: Yan looked at Jason, one eyebrow raised. "Have you ever known a Borg to help anyone?" she whispered back.

: : : Tresha kept a good distance from the borg, she didn't say a word, she kept one eye on the borg and the other eye on her duties.

: : : CE

"These are the shield modifications that Species 8472 has made to the Federation standard shields. We thought it would be productive to share this information with you."

: Yan turned back to Jason now, a look of astonishment on her face. "I never predicted that," she admitted. Then her expression turned to a frown. "This just all feels so wrong, accepting help from the Borg."
:
: But there was work to be done and the voices were beginning to overwhelm her again. She needed to keep busy. "You want us to start on those modifications, Chief?" she asked Tresha, still not making eye contact with the Borg.

Ens. Rice had been looking over the chief's shoulders at the shield modification plans contained on the data PaDD that the borg gave him. Having just left a duty detail that had made shield repairs, he was able to understand to an extent the modifications.

"Those modifications will take awhile chief." Rice said as he stood in formation next to Ens. Yan
