Troi assures them that while her gifts are not perfect, there was no mistaking the Borg influence. Picard and Beverly are stunned by the revelation, while also protesting it as impossible Jack has never been assimilated by the Borg, nor are there nanoprobes in his system, nor any transceivers or receivers. and heard the voice of the Borg Collective.
She makes her way down the corridor to sickbay, where Picard and Beverly Crusher look up worriedly at the expression on her face, asking what happened.īehind the red door in Jack's mind, Troi had seen a Borg cube. She stammers out an apology and quickly flees from Jack, even as he demands to know what she saw in his mind. As she places her hand on the doorknob and opens it inside Jack's mind, in reality she suddenly awakens, totally stunned by what she has just seen. Jack finally agrees, and Troi slowly makes her way down the corridor to the door. Troi tells him his truth lies beyond it and asks if he would like her to open it, again assuring him he will not be alone. The voices, foremost among them his mother's, come from the door. Troi asks if Jack seeks to make such connections like the vines, and he admits he wants to make "many" connections. Outwardly, Jack looks almost haunted, while inside his mind, his expression has hardened.
In reality, Troi is sitting in the counselor's office aboard the USS Titan-A, holding Jack's hands, deep in concentration. As they speak, the music slows and the corridor begins to darken.

Troi warns him not to get lost in it and stay with her. He finally recalls the Crimson Arboretum on Raritan IV, a place he had visited with his mother as a child, and also recalls she "adored" the song they were hearing as well. Troi tells him that all symbols have some kind of meaning and urges him to think. She points out the vines approaching the door, but Jack says he has no idea what they mean. Troi can sense his reluctance and fear but assures him he is safe. " Nothing is more elusive than a door the mind doesn't wish to open," Troi says, as Jack Crusher stares down the corridor of his mind at the red door, the song " I Can't Stop Crying" projecting through the hall.
