Dilithium Hydroxyls
Dilithium hydroxyls saturate the Paulson Nebula alongside heavy metals, forming a dense cloud that blocks sensors and shields the Enterprise from Borg scans. Picard directs the ship into this veil after severing the tractor beam, buying time as Worf reports the Borg ship trailing but unable to lock on. The crew gains brief respite amid reports of heavy damage and losses.
