EPISODES: SCORP1ON, PART 1 AND 2

Amasov - Captain of the Endeavor; according to Amasov, the Borg are as close to pure evil as any race he's ever encountered. (Scorpion, Part 1)

Annika - This was Seven's name before she was assimilated. (Scorpion, Part 2)

Astrophysics - Ensign Hickman works in astrophysics. (Scorpion, Part 1)

Binary matrix - Tuvok and Chakotay determine that the bio-mass has a binary matrix that is laced with neuropeptides which may be its version of a warp core. (Scorpion, Part 1)

Bio-electric interference - Voyager is unable to get a lock on the away team because of bio-electric interference from the alien coming toward them. (Scorpion, Part 1)

Bio-molecular warheads - Janeway suggest that they encase the nanoprobes in some of their torpedoes and turn them into bio-molecular weapons; Seven says these warheads will lack the necessary range and dispersive force; after Seven takes Voyager into the alien realm, she demands that Voyager consturct a complement of bio-molecular warhead but Chakotay refuses; after Janeway recovers, she orders Tuvok to give Seven the nanoprobes and to work with her to build as many of the warheads as they can; (Scorpion, Part 2)

Bio-ship - Voyager finds a "bio-mass" attached to the hull of one of the damaged Borg ships; the biomass seems to have dissolved right through the Borg hull; the Borg attempted to assimiliate it but were unsuccessful; it appears to be a ship of some kind; Tuvok and Chakotay determine that the bio-ship has a binary matrix that is laced with nueropeptides which may be its version of a warp core. (Scorpion, Part 1) Janeway suggests to Seven that destroying a few of their bio-ships may deter Species 8472 and convince them to give up this war; Voyager destroys 4 bio-ships with their modified photon torpedoes and 13 more with their high-yield warhead. (Scorpion, Part 2)

Borg - Voyager's probe sees several Borg cubes being destroyed; Borg space is vast, encompassing thousands of solar systems; the Doctor says that he has examined every square millimeter of the Borg corpse and is closer to understanding how the Borg assimilation technology works; according to Jean Luc Picard, the Borg are without mercy and are driven by the will to conquer; Kes has a premonition of a pile of Borg bodies; Kim finds a pile of dead Borg bodies when he, Tuvok and Chakotay beam onto the damaged Borg cube; the Borg are unable to assimilate Species 8472; the Doctor hopes to use Borg nanoprobes to penetrate the aliens cells; the Borg have been attacked by Species 8472 over a dozen times over the past 5 months and the Borg have been swiftly defeated each time; Janeway decides to form an alliance with the Borg in which the Borg will allow Voyager safe passage through their space in return for Voyager helping them defeat Species 8472. (Scorpion, Part 1) In order to save Voyager, the Borg sacrifice their own cube by putting it into the path of fire from Species 8472; the Borg are losing the war with Species 8472; the Borg orders Seven to seize control of Voyager and take it into the alien realm; Seven says that the assimilatin of Species 8472 would have greatly added to the Borg's perfection; it will take 2 weeks to remove all the Borg technologry from Voyager's systems; Janeway tells Chakotay to leave the Borg improvements in the power couplings on Deck 8 since they seem to work better with them. (Scorpion, Part 2)

Breen - The Breen are one of the races that Starfleet has encountered that use an organic-based vessel. (Scorpion, Part 1)

Cargo Bay - Tuvok, Janeway and a number of the Borg are transported to Cargo Bay 2 before the Borg cube is destroyed. (Scorpion, Part 2)

Cerebral cortex - Every time Kes has a vision, a part of her cerebral cortex goes into hyperstimulation. (Scorpion, Part 2)

Class 6 warhead - Voyager's photon torpedoes are Class 6 warheads. (Scorpion, Part 2)

Coma - The Doctor induces a coma in Janeway in order to protect her higher brain functioning after she is struck by the alien energy discharge. (Scorpion, Part 2)

DaVinci, Leonardo (John Rhys-Davies) - Janeway goes to Da Vinci for advice about what to do about the situation with the Borg and Species 8472. (Scorpion, Part 1)

Deck 4 - Deck 4 is decompressed in order to blow all the Borg out into space. (Scorpion, Part 2)

Deck 8 - The power couplings on Deck 8 work much better with the Borg improvements so Janeway tells Chakotay to leave them. (Scorpion, Part 2)

Deflector control The Borg in Cargo Bay 2 access deflector control in order to open a singularity and take Voyager into the alien realm. (Scorpion, Part 2)

Distribution node - Chakotay tells Kim to find a Borg distribution node so that he can download the Borg's tactical database since it might contain a record of what happened to the Borg ship. (Scorpion, Part 1)

Endeavor - Amasov is the captain of the Endeavor. (Scorpion, Part 1)

Enterprise - Humans first encountered the Borg when Q flung the Enterprise into the path of a Borg cube. (Scorpion, Part 1)

Grid 92 of Subjunction 12 - Janeway and Tuvok are taken to this workspace near the center of the Borg cube. (Scorpion, Part 2)

Hickman - Ensign on Voyager that works in astrophysics; Chakotay says that Hickman does a passable imitation of Janeway. (Scorpion, Part 1)

Human - Seven tells Chakotay that humans lack the cohesion of a collective mind and that one day it will divide and destroy them. (Scorpion, Part 2)

Injection tubules - The Doctor says that the Borg injection tubules are the first step in the Borg assimilation process; once the tubules are inside the skin, they release a series of nanoprobes into the bloodstream; these tubules are capable of penetrating any know alloy or energy field. (Scorpion, Part 1)

Iso-ton - Voyager's photon torpedoes have an explosive yield of 200 iso-tons. (Scorpion, Part 2)

Locutus - Picard had been transformed into the Borg called Locutus. (Scorpion, Part 2)

Multikinetic neutronic mine - Seven wants to create a multikinetic neutronic mine with a 5 million isoton yield to disperse the nanoprobes over a radius of 5 lightyears; Janeway doesn't want to do this since it could affect an entire star system and endanger innocent worlds; it would take 50 trillion nanoprobes to arm this mine and would take several weeks for the Doctor to replicate enough nanoprobes. (Scorpion, Part 2)

Nanoprobes - The Doctor says that once the Borg injection tubules are inside the skin, they release a series of nanoprobes into the bloodstream; the nanoprobes assimilate the bloodstream almost instantaneously; the Doctor hopes to create an "assimilation antibody" to slow down the nanoprobes; the Doctor wants to use Borg nanoprobes to penetrate the cells of Species 8472 by reprogramming them to emit the same electro-chemical signal as the alien cells; Janeway proposes that they teach the Borg how to modify their own nanoprobes in order to use them to defeat Species 8472. (Scorpion, Part 1); The Doctor uses the Borg nanoprobes to rid Kim of the alien cells that are taking over his body; the nanoprobes in the bio-molecular weapons are successful in defeating Species 8472. (Scorpion, Part 1)

Neural transceiver - The Borg want to implant a neural transceiver into Janeway and Tuvok; they say that this transceiver is required for maximum communication; Janeway doesn't allow them to do this and insists that the Borg choose a representative that they can work with instead. (Scorpion, Part 2)

Neuropeptides - Tuvok and Chakotay determine that the bio-mass has a binary matrix that is laced with nueropeptides. (Scorpion, Part 1)

Northwest Passage - This is what the crew calls the narrow corridor of space that is filled with intense gravimetric distortions and is devoid of Borg activity; they decide to travel through this passage to avoid contact with the Borg; they discover that this area is the origin of Species 8472. (Scorpion, Part 1)

Photon torpedoes - Seven knows that Voyager currently has a compliment of 32 Class 6 warhead photon torpedoes; the explosive yield of these torpedos is 200 iso-tons; Seven and Tuvok construct bio-molecular warheads using 13 standard photon torpedoes and one Class 10 armed with a high-yield warhead. (Scorpion, Part 2)

Picard, Jean Luc - According to Jean Luc Picard, the Borg are without mercy and are driven by the will to conquer. (Scorpion, Part 1) Picard had been transformed into the Borg called Locutus. (Scorpion, Part 2)

Plasma burns - Janeway sustains plasma burns to her thorasic region when the alien energy discharge struck near here. (Scorpion, Part 2)

Q - Humans first encountered the Borg when Q flung the Enterprise into the path of a Borg cube. (Scorpion, Part 1)

Quantuum Singularity - Voyager sees dozens of bioships appearing out of the quantum singularity in the Northwest Passage. (Scorpion, Part 1)

Resonant graviton beam - The Borg use the deflector to emit a resonant graviton beam in order to create a singularity and take Voyager into the alien realm. (Scorpion, Part 2)

Scorpion - Chakotay tells Janeway a parable about a scorpion when he believes that she is making a mistake in wanting to form an alliance with the Borg. (Scorpion, Part 1) Janeway uses this word as a signal to Chakotay to use the neural transmitter to try to link with Seven. (Scorpion, Part 2)

Secondary power couplings - The Borg in Cargo Bay 2 are drawing energy from Voyager's secondary power couplings. (Scorpion, Part 2)

Skeletal lock - When she is unable to lock onto the away team to beam them back on board, Torres uses a skeletal lock which locks onto the minerals in their bone tissue. (Scorpion, Part 1)

Species 8472 - Species 8472 is a telepathic species; Kes has been aware of their presence even before Voyager's encounter with the Borg; the Doctor says that this alien's DNA is a hundred times more densely coded than human DNA; the Borg are unable to assimilate Species 8472 because any chemical, biological or technological attempts to penetrate its cell membrane is instantly destroyed; Kes senses a malevolence from them and learns that they intend on destroying everything; they have attacked the Borg at least a dozen times over the last 5 months and have swiftly defeated the Borg each time. (Scorpion, Part 1) Species 8472 is winning the war against the Borg; they have penetrated Matrix 010 Grid 19 and have destroyed 8 planets and disabled 312 vessels; Voyager enters the domain of Species 8472 after the Borg use Deflector Control to open up a singularity; Seven says that their technology is biogenically engineered and is superior to that of all other species that the Borg have encountered and that their assimilation would have greatly added to the Borg's perfection; Voyager uses their modified photon torpedoes and the high-yield warhead to destroy some of Species 8472 bio-ships to persuade them to retreat. (Scorpion, Part 2)

USS Voyager - Kes has a telepathic vision about the destruction of Voyager. (Scorpion, Part 1) According to Seven, Voyager currently has a compliment of 32 Class 6 warhead photon torpedoes; the explosive yield of these torpedos is 200 iso-tons; Seven takes Voyager into the alien realm by accessing deflector control; some of the ship's systems work better with the Borg improvements so Janeway tells Chakotay to leave the Borg technology intact. (Scorpion, Part 2)

Virus - Kes compares the Borg assimilation to a virus (Scorpion, Part 1)

Wolf 359 - This was the location of a Borg massacre. (Scorpion, Part 1)
