"Star Trek Lost Episodes" transcript.
<Picard> "Mr. LaForge, have you had any success with your attempts at
finding a weakness in the Borg? And Mr. Data, have you been able to
access their command pathways?"
<Geordi> "Yes, Captain. In fact, we found the answer by searching through
our archives on late Twentieth-century computing technology."
<Geordi presses a key, and a logo appears on the computer screen.>
<Riker looks puzzled.> "What the hell is 'Microsoft'?"
<Data turns to answer.> "Allow me to explain. We will send this program,
for some reason called 'Windows', through the Borg command pathways. Once
inside their root command unit, it will begin consuming system resources
at an unstoppable rate."
<Picard> "But the Borg have the ability to adapt. Won't they alter their
processing systems to increase their storage capacity?"
<Data> "Yes, Captain. But when 'Windows' detects this, it creates a new
version of itself known as an 'upgrade'. The use of resources increases
exponentially with each iteration. The Borg will not be able to adapt
quickly enough. Eventually all of their processing ability will be taken
over and none will be available for their normal operational functions."
<Picard> "Excellent work. This is even better than that 'unsolvable
geometric shape' idea."
. . . 15 Minutes Later . . .
<Data> "Captain, We have successfully installed the 'Windows' in the
command unit and, as expected, it immediately consumed 85% of all
resources. We however have not received any confirmation of the expected
'upgrade'."
<Geordi> "Our scanners have picked up an increase in Borg storage and CPU
capacity to compensate, but we still have no indication of an 'upgrade' to
compensate for their increase."
<Picard> "Data, scan the history banks again and determine if there is
something we have missed."
<Data> "Sir, I believe there is a reason for the failure in the
'upgrade'. Apparently the Borg have circumvented that part of the plan by
not sending in their registration cards.
<Riker> "Captain, we have no choice. Requesting permission to begin
emergency escape sequence 3F . . ."
<Geordi, excited> "Wait, Captain I just detected their CPU capacity has
suddenly dropped to 0% !"
<Picard> "Data, what do your scanners show?"
