While the infiltration team worked their way towards critical components aboard the Sphere, [[D'askto]] who had managed to stow away aboard the sphere, was advised by [[Adrene]] of the presence of the away team. When he discovered that they were headed for the central control chamber, where critical equipment was located he knew he had to intervene. Realizing that any damage to the [[Temporal Flux Capacitor]] located in that chamber could cause a complete breakdown and implosion of the space-time continuum, set out to warn the potential combatants that they must not damage the equipment inside the compartment for fear of destroying the entire universe in which they all existed.

It was here, that [[Volus]] revealed two additional Drones, the parents of [[Ben Soma]], in an attempt to demoralize Soma and the others. His ploy was to stall long enough that no actions made by the assault team could be effective.

During this period, Volus declared that the sphere had already crossed a point of no return, whereby even it's destruction would not prevent catastrophic damage to the [[Earth]] or it's inhabitants in the form of an [[Chicxulub Crater|Extinction Level Impact Event]]. 

With a flash of insight, Soma used the EM pulse modified [[Tricorder]] developed by Signos to free his parents from the control of the [[Borg Collective]]. D'askto, seeing Volus attmpting to assassinate the [[Federation]] officer, threw himself in the line of fire and was mortally wounded by Volus' disruptor blast.

[[Sanok]] rushed to the fallen scientists side and D'askto revealed [[Adrene|Adrene's]] existence before dying.

Meanwhile Signos attack Volus while Soma and Sanok, along with Ben's newly liberated parents handled the [[Borg Drone]]s in the area. Terribly wounded, but victorious, Signos collapsed on the deck after she managed to kill Volus.

Sanok, meanwhile accessed Adrene, and using his superior logic, managed to convince the caretaker of the [[Tkon Nanosphere|Sphere]] to shut down her shields and open herself up to attack by the [[USS Boudicca]] and the [[USS Rosenante]]. This was her only option, as she was still unable to control her helm systems due to Borg [[assimilation]] of that technology.  in the end, she sacrificed herself to allow Earth a chance to survive.

The USS Boudicca retrieved the away team from the sphere, and both [[federation]] [[starship]]s poured as much of their firepower as possible into the unprotected bulk of the [[Tkon Nanosphere]].
