This walkthru  will get you  to the
ending  of Star  Trek: Borg  in the
most   efficient    way   possible.
However,  part of  the fun  of this
game is to try the alternate paths.
Despite  the  fact  that  they  end
badly  for  you,  it's  still  fun,
especially  hearing John  De Lancie
taunt you  along the way.  A lot of
the  solutions to  the puzzles  are
obtained by going  down a path that
fails  - such  as the  Borg command
console  code  and  the  hypo spray
sequence. Q,  however, always gives
you  another chance,  and snaps you
back to  a place where  you can try
again.  I  encourage   you  to  try
different things and see where they
lead you.

Okay,  long intro,  Q appears,  and
offers  you  a   choice.  Grab  the
phaser. Now to the Righteous, where
you take  over the body  of Sprint.
Click  on the  phaser; you'll shoot
the  Borg. More  stuff happens, and
Ensign  Targus  tries  to  drag the
Borg  off  the   bridge.  The  Borg
revives  and  grabs  Targus  in one
hand and accesses  a panel with the
other. Fire the phaser at the panel
the  Borg is  accessing. This  time
it's dead.

Now   to   isolate   the   security
console.  You see  four squares  in
front of  you. Click on  the fourth
square (the one  on the far right),
then   the   third   square   (this
procedure   is   outlined   in  the
tricorder Q gave you).

Now   to  the   elevator.  This  is
tricky.  The code  to computer core
control  is  150619.  Click  on the
"1"  and  wait  for  the  screen to
freeze. Then *quickly*  click on 5,
0, 6,  1, 9. You only  have a short
time to  do this before  the puzzle
times out  and you go  to the wrong
branch. Oh, and  going to the wrong
branch  leads to  a fairly humorous
encounter with Q.  After getting to
computer   core   control,   you're
confronted  with  an  unknown  Borg
device.  There are  lots of  things
you can do, but the right answer is
to   do   nothing...   don't  click
anywhere,  just wait  for the scene
to continue  on its own.  Now, time
to  go  Borg  hunting.  Your father
offers  you a  choice of  hands. Go
ahead  and  choose   one  -  you'll
always lose,  but it leads  to some
nice scenes where you get Borgified
while  Q stands  over you, taunting
you.  There are  a few  ways to  go
down this path,  all leading to the
destruction   of   the   Righteous.
Eventually  Q  will  put  you  back
where  you  have  to  choose one of
your  father's  hands.  The correct
answer   is   to   click   on  your
father's  chin.  You'll  knock  him
out.  While  he's   laying  on  the
floor,  click on  his phaser.  Then
wait until you turn the phaser over
and a  round button is  revealed on
the bottom of  the handle. Click on
it.  More scenes  where your father
kills the Borg  and you acquire its
implant.

You  have  a  few  ways  to try and
access  the  implant.  The  correct
answer   is  to   click  on  Ensign
Targus's  neural  interface  -  the
round thing on  her forehead. After
putting    it   on    her,   you're
confronted with a choice of what to
do once  it starts taking  over her
mind. Simply click  on the implant.
Q will grab  your hand and  ask you
if you're sure. He's just trying to
throw you off.  When you replay the
scene, click on  the implant again.
You've just saved Ensign Targus.

Now,  to the  Borg ship.  There are
many, many different  paths you can
take  here.  They're  fun  to  try.
Again, what follows is the quickest
way to the end  - although you miss
some fun scenes along the way.

Okay,  here  come  some  Borg  - do
nothing,  just let  them pass. Next
you come to a Borg command console,
where  you have  four large circles
along the top of the console. Click
on the first circle, then the third
circle   twice,  then   the  fourth
circle,  then   the  second  circle
twice.   (Repeating)   The  correct
sequence is: 1 3 3 4 2 2.

You've  accessed the  override code
(remember it: 61330).  Now you need
another implant. Here comes a Borg.
Wait for Targus to step in front of
you, then click  on her arm. That's
right, you need a living Borg. Your
father hands you a hypo. You'll see
three tiny circles along the top of
the   hypo.  Click   on  the  first
circle,   then  the   third  circle
twice, then the first circle again.
(Repeating) The correct sequence is
1 3 3 1.

Now, to find a  Borg. The first one
to come  along isn't quite  a Borg.
Do  nothing to  the Q-Borg  (unless
you  want  to  scan  it  with  your
tricorder). Wait for  the next Borg
to  come along.  Click on  your own
hand  -  the  one  not  holding the
hypo.     You     get    Borgified.
Incidentally, my  favorite "failed"
scene  happens when  you enter  the
wrong sequence into  the hypo spray
and then inject yourself.

Okay, to  the end. First,  a bit of
fun.  You get  into a  conversation
with your father and Q. A targeting
circle appears over  Q. Wait for it
to move below  his belt, then click
on it.  I didn't know a  Q had, er,
that kind  of an anatomy.  Now, for
the final puzzle,  and this one had
me tearing my hair out for two days
figuring   it  out.   A  Borg   has
accessed Ops,  and you have  to try
and stop it. Notice the thick lines
along  the  bottom  of  the screen.
A lighted  circle  will  appear and
stop at the center  of one of those
lines. Click on it. A collection of
circular symbols will appear on the
screen.   Does   the   layout  look
familiar?    Kinda    looks    like
a telephone  keypad,  eh?  In fact,
it's  the   Borg  equivalent.  It's
numbered like this:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0

Remember  the override  code? Click
on  the circles  in this  sequence:
6 1 3 3 0.  On to the happy ending.
Again, though,  lots of the  fun of
this  games is  in trying different
things.   You  can   get  Borgified
a dozen  different  ways,  and  the
ship  can  get  blown  up  lots  of
different  times  -  it's  actually
a pretty  cool sequence.  Also, the
tricorder  Q gave  you has  lots of
information,  as  told   by  Q.  He
interjects some  dry witticisms. My
favorite one is what  he has to say
about Vulcans.

Hope you enjoyed the game!
