Storyline

An Earth research team uncovers wreckage and drones from the Borg sphere that attempted to stop Zephram Cochrane's warp flight nearly 100 years ago. The Borg regenerate, assimilate the team, modify their transport and flee Earth. Enterprise answers a distress call too late, rescues "survivors," and Phlox is injected with assimilation nanoprobes. Enterprise catches the transport and Archer must determine whether or not to try to salvage the personnel or stop the Borg efforts before they are out of control.

Dr. Moninger: [laughs nervously] They don't exactly look friendly.

Meeting the Borgs

In the Polar Circle, three scientists find the debris of a spacecraft that crashed on Earth a hundred years ago with two humanoids. While examining them, they realize that they are rapidly regenerating and reanimating; sooner the research team is assimilated by the Borgs and they leave Earth in their transport vessel. The Enterprise is called by Admiral Forrest with order to intercept the Borgs, but they receive a distress call from a Tarkalean ship and rescue two beings; Phlox finds that there is nanotechnology regenerating them but he is surprisingly attacked by nanoprobes and contaminated. The Enterprise heads to confront the transport vessel while is internally attacked by the assimilated Tarkaleans.

"Regeneration" is a full of action episode, with the Enterprise crew meeting the dangerous Borgs. The story is great and entwined with "Star Trek: First Contact". My vote is eight.
