A man wakes up in a white void, tended to by a mysterious Vulcan woman, T'Kyr. She tells him he has been insane and has been placed in this environment while his memory slowly recovers. He eventually recalls that he is Richard Daystrom but can only recall enough to make a recreation of his old study in the void. His helpers provide him with a "game" that seems to involve him trying to find a way to defeat the Borg but hundreds of attempts prove unsuccessful.
