"Regeneration" is the 49th episode of Star Trek: Enterprise. First broadcast as the 23rd episode of the show's second season in 2003 it was, in part, a follow-up to the feature film Star Trek: First Contact.
In a desolate Arctic environment, a team of scientists discover remains of what appears to be a crashed spaceship, with several humanoid bodies frozen in the wreckage. The bodies are brought back to the scientists' compound, and are thawed out. The scientists do not know who or what these strange beings are. However, the episode strongly hints that they are survivors of the Borg sphere shot down in Star Trek: First Contact. The scientists are astonished at the level of technical sophistication present inside the bodies of each creature. However, mostly unbeknownst to the science team, the Borg drones' nanoprobes set to work quietly and efficiently repairing the damage to each drone's biological and artificial systems. Suddenly, much to the researchers shock and horror, their seemingly dead subjects reanimate and viciously attack them without provocation, assimilating them and their transport craft. Using the scavenged wreckage of the destroyed sphere to enhance the transport, they escape into space.
The newly assimilated transport craft, which the Borg continue to upgrade with faster warp drive engines and weaponry, attacks and assimilates several other spacecraft along the way. Borg drones find their way aboard the starship Enterprise, eliciting comparisons to the Bynars.[original research?] They attempt to assimilate Doctor Phlox, who uses "omicron radiation" to destroy the nanoprobes and stop the assimilation process. The Borg vessel is finally destroyed by the Enterprise, but not before the Borg send out a distress signal. The Enterprise crewmembers estimate the signal will take roughly 200 years to reach its destination.
