• Doctor Beverly Crusher : Lieutenant, is there any way we can use the planet as a barrier to keep the Borg from realizing we're in orbit?

  Lieutenant Barnaby : We can enter orbit while they're on the far side of the planet. And if we delayed dropping out of warp until the last possible instant, we could gain a few more seconds.

  Ensign Zandra Taitt : If your calculations are even slightly off, we'd hit the atmosphere!

  Lieutenant Barnaby : I'll just have to be sure my calculations are accurate, Ensign.

• [Ensign Taitt has suggested to produce a solar eruption, which would envelop and destroy the Borg ship] 

  Ensign Zandra Taitt : I've already configured the tractor emitters to create the particle beam, and I've located the target point on the surface.

  Lieutenant Barnaby : If her calculations are off, that eruption could encompass us!

  Ensign Zandra Taitt : Well, I'll just have to make sure my calculations are accurate, Lieutenant.
