Editing Once More Into The Breach (section)

==Further Down the Rabbit Hole==

Neither ship received much of a chance to engage the Tkon sphere before it opened a temporal rift and began traveling backward through time and space. Both ship's were able to follow, but not before the Tkon sphere emerged at the edge of the [[Sol]] system. It was now terribly apparent that the Borg intended to deploy nanoprobes into [[Earth|Earth's]] atmosphere, to remain dormant until such time as Human Life evolved, at which stage, they would be assimilated into the [[Borg Collective]]

Not only would this destroy [[Human]]ity, but it would also guarantee that the [[United Federation of Planets]] did not form. As a farther reaching consequence, it is possible that a [[Borg]] infestation on Earth could have spread through both the 
[[Alpha Quadrant|Alpha]] and [[Beta Quadrant]]s, guaranteeing Borg supremacy in those regions.

This was simply something that had to be stopped at all costs.
