14 years ago, briefly after the attack on Mars, Picard demanded from Starfleet Command to either continue the efforts to save the Romulans or to accept his resignation. His superiors agreed to the latter. Raffi, then an officer under his command, left Starfleet as well. Although Raffi resents Picard that he let her down in the following years, she gets him in touch with Cristóbal Rios, another former Starfleet officer, who owns a ship. On the Borg cube, Soji and Hugh talk to Ramdha, a Romulan woman that was freed from her Borg implants. Soji is still unaware of her own nature and of her sister's death. To Hugh's surprise, she says Ramdha was assimilated right before the Borg cube was disabled, although she couldn't possibly know that. And worse, Ramdha says she knows Soji "from the future" and that Dahj is dead, which their mother, however, denies. Just as Picard is preparing to leave Earth, Romulan assassins intrude into the Château Picard, but Laris, Zhaban and Picard manage to kill them. Dr. Jurati appears and shoots another one of the attackers. The last survivor speaks of Dahj as "the destroyer" before he commits suicide. Ramdha says the very same about Soji. Dr. Jurati and Raffi, who has found out that Bruce Maddox is in a place called "Freecloud", join Picard's crew.
