An engineer of the Enterprise-E in Star Trek: First Contact who is seized by the Borg while checking the environmental controls and becomes the first of the crew to be assimilated.
Paul Porter serves in engineering aboard the Enterprise-E in 2373, in Star Trek: First Contact.
While the ship orbits the Earth of 2063, the temperature and humidity on the engineering decks begin to climb. Porter climbs into a Jefferies tube to find the fault, hears something moving in the dark and is dragged away by the Borg who have beamed over from their doomed sphere. His colleague Eiger goes in after him and meets the same end.
Their disappearance is the first sign that the ship has been boarded. The fate of the pair sets up the deck-by-deck fight that follows.
