During the away mission, [[Rank|Lieutenant]] [[Detron Trei]] of the [[USS Boudicca]] gained access to the [[Holodeck]] where he programmed a [[Telepathic Interface Device]] which was designed to augment his natural telepathic ability and thus allow him to make telepathic contact with the [[Borg]].

Trei managed to make contact with the Borg, but not in a manner that he preferred. His original idea was to implant a post-telepathic suggestion into the collective which would cause them to hallucinate and react to a perceived although non-existant threat rather than to the [[Federation]] starships and crew nearby. This backfired however, when the device was only able to contact a single [[Borg]] named [[Volus]].

Volus was the leader of the Borg mission, granted a high-degree of semi-independence by the [[Borg Queen]] in return for betraying his species, the [[Varn]] (Species 6063), to the Borg for [[assimilation]]. Volus recognized the contact as telepathic and as a result became aware of the presence of a [[Federation]] [[Task Force]] hiding behind the moon of [[Dovek II]].

He was then made aware of the presence of the [[Lorimar Class Runabout|Lorimar]] by the [[Borg Collective]].  He believed the later to be a bait-and-switch trap, sent to lure the [[Borg]] ships into an ambush when they advanced beyond the moon.

He had no way of knowing that there were only two [[Federation]] [[starship]]s hiding there, the [[USS Boudicca]] and the [[USS Rosenante]]. As a result he chose not to attack the hidden Task force but focused instead on the runabout, in an attempt to reverse the bait-and-switch tactic.
