2025 Beware the Borg! Audio Revealed

Listen to the audio from 31:46-34:50.

AUDIO 1

WORF: Sir, reading unidentified vessel just entering sensor range. Bearing two one zero mark one five one.
PICARD: Mister Worf, dispatch a subspace message to Admiral Hanson. We have engaged the Borg. 
WORF: Captain, you are being hailed. 
PICARD: I am? 
WORF: Yes, Captain. By name.
PICARD: On screen. I am Jean Luc Pic…
BORG [OC]: Jean Luc Picard, captain of the Starship Enterprise, registry NCC 1701D, you will lower shields and prepare to transport yourself aboard our vessel. If you do not cooperate, we will destroy your ship.
PICARD: You have committed acts of aggression against the United Federation of Planets. If you do not withdraw immediately…
BORG: You will surrender yourself or we will destroy your ship.
RIKER: What the hell do they want with you? 
SHELBY: I thought they weren’t interested in human life forms, only our technology. 
PICARD: Their priorities seem to have changed.

AUDIO 2

BORG: Captain Jean Luc Picard, you lead the strongest ship of the Federation fleet. You speak for your people. 
PICARD: I have nothing to say to you, and I will resist you with my last ounce of strength. 
BORG: Strength is irrelevant. Resistance is futile. We wish to improve ourselves. We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own. Your culture will adapt to service ours. 
PICARD: Impossible. My culture is based on freedom and self determination. 
BORG: Freedom is irrelevant. Self determination is irrelevant. You must comply. 
PICARD: We would rather die. 
BORG: Death is irrelevant. Your archaic cultures are authority driven. To facilitate our introduction into your societies, it has been decided that a human voice will speak for us in all communications. You have been chosen to be that voice.

AUDIO 3

RIKER: The Captain? 
DATA: We were unable to retrieve him, sir. Sir, The Captain has been altered by the Borg. 
RIKER: Altered? 
WORF: He is a Borg. 
LAFORGE: Commander, reading subspace field fluctuations from within the Borg ship. Looks like they’re regenerating, restoring power. They could be capable of warp any minute. 
RIKER: Is the deflector ready? 
LAFORGE: It’s ready. 
CRUSHER: Will, he’s alive. If we could get him back to the ship, I might be able to restore…
RIKER: This is our only chance to destroy them. If they get back into warp, our weapon is useless. Prepare to fire. 
WORF: Sir, we are being hailed by the Borg. 
RIKER: On screen. 
PICARD [on viewscreen]: I am Locutus of Borg. Resistance is futile. Your life as it has been is over. From this time forward, you will service us. 
RIKER: Mister Worf. Fire.

Artist Inspirations: Seven of Nine (2025)

Seven of Nine 2000 promotional image.
2025 Seven of Nine ornament.

October 2025 marks the arrival of our second-ever Seven of Nine Hallmark ornament—this time in a miniature format. It’s been a full 25 years since the release of the original Seven ornament, which featured our favorite former Borg in her iconic blue catsuit. That earlier design drew inspiration directly from Star Trek: Voyager promotional imagery and quickly became a fan favorite. This year’s ornament inspiration, however, seems to take a different approach altogether. Rather than revisiting familiar promo shots, the new miniature appears to draw from a more recent source: the highly detailed EXO-6 1/6 scale Seven of Nine figure released in 2022. That collectible included a range of interchangeable hand options and showcased an attention to character-specific detail that seems echoed in this latest ornament. 

This 1:6-scale figure re-creates this iconic character in exquisite 1:6 detail. Standing approximately 11.5 inches tall, every element, from her purple cat suit and matching holsters for phaser and tricorder to the Borg implants, is authentically reproduced. The original portrait sculpt of Jeri Ryan has an authentic, hand-painted likeness. –EXO-6.com

Images by Michael Crawford, Captain Toy

By simply removing the holster, the ornament is a near perfect match of EXO-6 Seven of Nine figure promotional image.

The Seven of Nine ornament will be in Hallmark Stores on October 11, 2025 and will retail for $12.99.

Hallmark Star Trek Storytellers Script

Any two ornaments from the 2020-2022 Hallmark Star Trek Storytellers collection would provide a quick back and forth between characters using sound clips from the Star Trek episode Mirror, Mirror. Introduce another ornament and a new experience was revealed. To get the full nine minute and twenty second experience you needed all eight Storytellers ornaments.

Below (page 2) is the complete eight-ornament Star Trek Storytellers script followed by a transcript of the episode Mirror, Mirror highlighting all the dialogue that can be heard in the Hallmark Storytellers collection.

Unification II Ornament Transcription

Spock: You have an efficient intellect, superior physical skills, no emotional impediments. There are Vulcans who aspire all their lives to achieve what you’ve been given by design.

Data: Hm. – You are half Human?

Spock: Yes.

Data: Yet you have chosen a Vulcan way of life?

Spock: I have.

Data: In effect, you have abandoned what I have sought all my life.

{…}

Data: Ambassador Spock, may I ask a personal question?

Spock: Please.

Data: As you examine your life, do you find you have missed your humanity? Spock: I have no regrets.

Data: “No regrets”. That is a human expression.

Spock: Yes… Fascinating.
