Background information

 * Telek R'Mor's three-year scientific mission was slated to end in this year.
 * A graphic displayed in indicates the Raven (perhaps using the false name "Jefferies") departed the Drexler Outpost in 2354.  This, however, contradicts dialog spoken in "The Gift" and  regarding the length of the Raven's journey.  It is likely that the Drexler outpost was a stop on their mission, not the departure point, if the vessel mentioned was the Raven at all.
 * A message sent by the Borg in 2153 to the Delta Quadrant was estimated to have arrived by this time. The Borg, now aware of Humanity's existence, begin incursions into the surrounding sectors around Earth.
