Notes:
2/19/03: After nearly two seasons, ENTERPRISE will go down the path many TREK series have traveled with "Regeneration," the first Borg episode of the prequel-era series, likely to air during May Sweeps. According to plot information provided TrekWeb this morning, the twenty-third episode of the season will open in Earth's Arctic Circle, where the fragments of a crashed Borg Sphere are uncovered by three human scientists.
Doctors Drake, Rooney and Moninger recover two Borg drones from the debris and begin examining them at their lab after informing Starfleet of the find. As they study the corpses, a metallurgical scan reveals that the crash occurred nearly a century earlier--could the fragment be a remnant of the sphere shot down in FIRST CONTACT? Further study leads to the revelation of the Borg's ability to regenerate with nanotechnology, which we learn only the Denobulans have experimented with in this time period.
As they continue to research the site, their curiosity gets the better of them when the drone they're studying comes to life and assimilates Doctor Moninger. Starfleet loses contact with the team and orders an armed shuttle to investigate... later, the NX-01 comes face to face with a borgified vessel...
