The engagement ends shortly afterward and the Borg transport out.
In a similar unusual display, after a Borg kills Corelki and attacks Data, Data becomes uncharacteristically enraged and brutally kills a Borg in hand-to-hand combat. Most notably, one Borg, Bosus, expressed sympathy for another by name, Torsus, after it is killed by the away team, promising that he would make the away team "suffer" for the death of his comrade, and referring to himself with the singular pronoun "I". In the ensuing battle, the away team notice a marked difference in Borg behavior when compared to earlier encounters. Data overrides a control panel, causing a door to open and revealing that the attackers are the Borg. An away team consisting of Riker, Worf, Data, and security officer Corelki find that all personnel on the station are dead and it appears that whoever was responsible for the attacks was specifically interested in their deaths. The Enterprise arrives to find a mysterious ship in orbit.
The USS Enterprise-D responds to a distress call from Ohniaka III, an outpost with little strategic value. Hawking has just laid down a winning hand of four sevens when Riker calls for red alert. He explains that he was curious to see how three of history's greatest minds would interact in this setting.
Data tells him that he has found, from playing the game with his shipmates, that it provides a useful forum into the facets of Humanity. Newton asks why they are playing this "ridiculous game". They engage in a conversation about the curvature of space-time and the " apple story". Data is playing poker on the holodeck with simulations of Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking.
