"The 'La Sirena'" is wrong. "Rio Grande River".


The crew of the ''La Sirena'' defeat their captors in a brief fight, but Elnor is wounded. While Raffi gets him to Sickbay, Jurati finishes plugging in the Borg Queen, and ''La Sirena'' makes the time-travel slingshot jump.

Hero Ball and Idiot Ball too negative: Character didn't do something 'for no reason,' he was trying to get to the commbadge.


* HeroBall: Rios deciding for no reason to try and 'save' the doctor from the immigration raid. All it does is get them both arrested.
* IdiotBall: After Rios has had his most pressing medical issues fixed to the point where he can get up and start walking again, he finds his missing communicator and instead of getting it from the kid and leaving, he sticks around to banter with the kid, eat some cookies and fails to get it back. Then the immigration raid happens and he starts juggling the Idiot Ball and the Hero Ball by sticking around and getting arrested, which is something Jurati explicitly told him not to do, and which he specifically said he wouldn't.

** Rios, due to a transporter malfunction, falls about a storey off a fire escape. With the pop song in the soundtrack, seems like it's just going to be some {{slapstick}} humor, right? Nope! Rios actually gets a concussion from hitting his head and a busted hand.

* TeleporterAccident: The transporters have just enough power for a one-way trip with reduced accuracy. This scatters Seven, Raffi, and Rios in different locations a few blocks away from the target, with the added wrinkle that Rios is beamed one storey off the ground and ends up in the hospital after gravity kicks in.

Rios, Seven and Raffi, alternating between TranquilFury and UnstoppableRage over the death of her [[LikeASonToMe surrogate son]], transport to Los Angeles where Raffi intends to scan for refugees on the planet who are operating at a higher TechnologyLevel than they should be. Jurati warns them to stay off the grid and avoid the authorities -- which Rios is unable to prevent, because the transporter accidentally dumps him out 20 feet in the air. An Angeleno finds him on the sidewalk with no wallet, keys, smartphone or ID, and therefore takes him to a local clinic which serves illegal immigrants.

Teresa, the woman who runs the clinic, is alarmed when [[https://www.ice.gov/ ICE]] raid the place hoping to pick up illegal immigrants. Rios is about to get away when he notices his 24th-century Confederation combadge is still lying around. He comes back to help Teresa defend her innocence... but only ends up getting the two of them arrested.

The crew of the ''La Sirena'' take their captors in a brief fight, but Elnor is wounded. While Raffi gets him to Sickbay, Jurati finishes plugging in the Borg Queen, and ''La Sirena'' makes the time-travel slingshot jump.

The ship emerges in what seems to be the early 21st century -- sensors are too damaged to make a solid reading, and anyhow the Queen is draining the ship's power to recover her own reserves. ''La Sirena'' crashlands; and, with no power to the biobed, Elnor succumbs to his injuries.

Meanwhile, Jurati and Picard stay on the ship to try and repair the Borg Queen, as she's their only ticket back to their own time. This involves Jurati letting herself get semi-assimilated. Her non-conscious mind remains on ''La Sirena'' sassing Picard while her consciousness invades the Queen's memory banks; she succeeds at stealing the location of The Watcher from the Queen, impressing the latter.
