to try to cut their way in. But the beam that should have cut through 
the vessel's hull like a laser through butter was equally ineffective. 
They would have had more success attacking a cloud of smoke. 

Whether it was the attacks of the Borg or that the alien ship's scans of
the sector were complete is unknown, but the great ship suddenly came 
to life. The pulsating red core of the ship glowed brighter. Several of 
the spine-like protrusions facing the Borg Cube became luminous, and a 
form of white energy was released from each. A pulsating, white ball of 
energy formed, and although basically spherical, it appeared unstable 
due to its constant shape changes, from sphere to ellipse and back 
again. As soon as the energy ball ceased growing, it slowly moved away 
from the great ship, and built up speed quickly as it launched itself 
toward the annoying, little cube. 

The Borg managed to hit the deadly missile with a plasma beam.
Unfortunately, the odd missile didn't detonate in mid-space, as was 
assumed. 

A split second later, it hit the Cube head-on, but there was no
explosion of orange flames or a blinding flash. Instead, the entire 
vessel was consumed in a pulsating, white glow. It was eating through 
the cube like some kind of super acid. The ship's amazing ability to 
repair itself just couldn't keep up with the devastating damage that 
had completely encompassed the ship. It blanketed it, smothering it in 
waves of unrelenting damage. With every pulse, the large ship gradually 
dissolved from metallic greys to dull, transparent grey, and finally to 
light-grey dust. The silhouette of the Borg Cube could still be seen; a 
faint, distorted shadow of what it once was. 

The destruction of the Borg Cube echoed throughout the entire Hive, and
the Borg began to understand what all the other races felt in their 
presence.... FEAR. 

This invading fortress of a ship was not a newcomer to the Galaxy, but
it had been almost 400 years since it had last been here. The race was 
known as the Veiled, and they were back. They don't assimilate. They 
exterminate. 

To understand the Veiled, it is necessary to go back to the early 21st
Century, and to discover how one human traveled to the stars decades 
before the discovery of warp technology.
