Summary

Solve codes of varying complexity to gain the required levels of access and control.

Narrative

The Borg are cybernetic organisms living in a hive mind called The Collective. They replicate by injecting nanoprobes into their victims, causing the victim to form Borg implants that connect their mind to The Collective. The Borg Cube has been temporarily placed in a sleep state leaving you with a small window of opportunity to rescue your crew mates. You will need to find ways to hack into their Borg implants and remove them from The Collective so their humanity can be restored and they can become ex-Borg (xBs).
