Host Rich says:
Prologue: The shuttle from the Paula Greene has just landed on the Borg cube and the XO is meeting with Doral and Yason.
Host Rich says:
*************************Resume Mission**************************
XO_Amendoeria says:
@::steps off the shuttle and looks around, Mushgrave just behind him::
Host CO_Bafii says:
::exits his ready room and returns to the bridge::
CMO_Qui says:
<Powers>:: On the bridge at OPS ::
CSO_Biishe says:
::Glances over at the captain and nods::
Host CO_Bafii says:
CSO: Well, it looks like destruction of the cube is not an option.
CMO_Qui says:
:: In sickbay studying a micro of some sort ::
Host Doral says:
@ XO: It is good to meet you. :: extends hand::
XO_Amendoeria says:
@::tentatively takes the Borg's hand and shakes it, all the time waiting for tubes to shoot out::
CSO_Biishe says:
::Shakes her head::  CO:  I believe it is a mistake.
XO_Amendoeria says:
@ Doral: Agreed.
Host CO_Bafii says:
CSO: You'll get no argument from me there, Commander.  ::moves to his seat::  
Host CO_Bafii says:
OPS: Please open a channel to the cube.
Yason says:
@::follows behind Doral::
Host Doral says:
@:: shakes the XO's hand:: XO: This is my second in command Yason.:: points to Yason::
CMO_Qui says:
<Powers>:: Fingers fly over her console as a channel is opened ::   CO: Channel opened sir
CSO_Biishe says:
::Puts her fingers to her temple and massages them.::
XO_Amendoeria says:
@::moves to shake hands with Yason also and notices that Mushgrave is holding back, just in case.  He approves::  Yason.  Good to meet you.
Yason says:
@::shakes the hand wearingly::
Host CO_Bafii says:
COM: Doral: This is Bafii.  I have been given orders to escort you to one of our star bases.  We should head out immediately.  Please follow our lead.
CSO_Biishe says:
::Opens her eyes and waits for the captain to finish his comm.::  CO:  What do we do about the other conduit?
Host Doral says:
@COM: CO: Captain very good we shall follow your lead.
Host Doral says:
@XO: What do you want to see first?
Host CO_Bafii says:
::nods to Powers to cut the channel::  Power: Take us out of the asteroid field, best speed.

XO_Amendoeria says:
@Doral: Perhaps just a general tour, I'd be interested to see how the cube is function since you disconnected yourselves from the continuum.
CMO_Qui says:
<Power> CO: Aye sir...    :: Closes the channel and maneuvers the Paula Greene out of the asteroid field, taking it nice and easy ::
Host CO_Bafii says:
CSO: Our mission is to protect the cube.  Command hasn't told me what they plan to do with the conduit as of yet.
Host CO_Bafii says:
CSO: Is our probe still monitoring the opening?
CSO_Biishe says:
::Looks down at sensors.::  CO:  Yes.
Host Doral says:
@Yason: I think we will show them the communication array first. Please lead on.
Host CO_Bafii says:
CSO: Let's pay close attention to that.
XO_Amendoeria says:
@::nods to Mushgrave to follow::
CSO_Biishe says:
CO:  Alright... I am going to object.  You already know my thoughts about the cube.  But to simply walk away and leave a conduit sitting there unattended in our space.  That is wrong.
Host CO_Bafii says:
::takes his seat in the center chair, a feeling in the pit of his stomach bothering him::
Yason says:
@::leads on toward the communications array::
Host Doral says:
@XO: Our break away from the collective was something that happened during the destruction of the one main corridor
CMO_Qui says:
<Powers>:: Checks sensors to ensure a safe exit out of the field ::
Yason says:
@::moves toward the entrance of the array::
Host CO_Bafii says:
CSO: Noted Commander, but we have our orders at the moment.  We don't have to like them, we just have to follow them.
XO_Amendoeria says:
@Doral: I see.  Was there much disruption through the collective at that time?
CMO_Qui says:
<Powers>:: Checks chronometer ::   CO: Sir, time to clear the asteroid field is 20 minutes
Host Doral says:
@XO: We still maintain a link in side the cube that helps us control the cube and make repairs
CSO_Biishe says:
CO: Captain, permission to leave the bridge.
Yason says:
@ALL: Welcome to the Array.
Host CO_Bafii says:
CSO: For what reason Commander?  I need you monitoring those sensors for Borg vessels.  ::stands and turns to the CSO::
Host Doral says:
@XO: Yes many vessels became independent then
CSO_Biishe says:
CO:  I need to go beat up a few weeds.
Host Doral says:
@XO: Excuse me a second.

XO_Amendoeria says:
@ ::looks around the room seemingly in interest, but much more interested in the conversation::  Doral: I see.  The collective must have been very unhappy.
XO_Amendoeria says:
@ Doral: Of course.
Host CO_Bafii says:
::raises an eyebrow::  CSO: Weeds commander?
Host Doral says:
Action: The 2 drones stop and seem to be receiving some type of communication.
XO_Amendoeria says:
@::decides to try Yason:: Yason: So do you consider yourself to be Borg still, or your original race?
CSO_Biishe says:
::Keeps her hands clenched behind her back.  CO:  Yes sir... My temper would best be served in the garden for a few minutes then on the bridge.
Host Doral says:
@Yason: I though that he was with us.
Yason says:
@XO: I am my own race but I still have Borg implants.
Host CO_Bafii says:
CSO: Your attention is needed on the bridge, Commander.  We have a duty to carry out Commander.  I was told you were the person for this job, or was your predecessor incorrect?
Yason says:
@Doral: So did I.
XO_Amendoeria says:
@Doral/Yason: What is going on?
CSO_Biishe says:
::Closes her eyes for a moment::  CO:  That is yet to be seen.  ::Turns away and takes her seat, angrily hitting the sensor button.::
Host Doral says:
Action: The Paula Greene's sensors pick up a drone body floating away from the cube.
Host CO_Bafii says:
::makes a mental note then retakes his seat::
Yason says:
@Doral: Should we tell them?
Host Doral says:
@Yason: Their sensors will pick it up anyway.
Host Doral says:
@XO: We just found a saboteur.
XO_Amendoeria says:
@Doral: Were you able to stop them before damage was done?
CSO_Biishe says:
::Frowns as shakes her head with a frown::  CO:  I am picking up body just outside of the cube.
Host CO_Bafii says:
CSO: Borg?
CSO_Biishe says:
::Adjust sensors::  CO:  Yes...  Shall I ::Sighs::  Beam it to sickbay?
XO_Amendoeria says:
@Doral/Yason: Secrets at this point, gentlemen, would not go far in foster cooperation.
Host CO_Bafii says:
CSO: No, contact the cube and beam it back aboard there. 
Host Doral says:
@XO: We do not have any secrets as I said we found a saboteur and we dealt with him.
CSO_Biishe says:
::nods::  COMM: Doral:  We have located a drone body floating around your ship.  I am beaming it aboard.

XO_Amendoeria says:
@Doral: And what was this saboteur attempting to do?
CSO_Biishe says:
::Reaches over to get a lock on the body.::  COMM:  Doral:  Do you have a preference to were I send it?
Host Doral says:
@COM: CSO: Don't bother he was a saboteur and we eject him from the ship
CSO_Biishe says:
::Looks over at the captain:: CO:  How would you like me to proceed?
Host Doral says:
@Yason: I believe we need to get as far from here as possible.
CMO_Qui says:
<Powers>:: Raises an eyebrow ::
CMO_Qui says:
<Powers>:: Checks sensors and the path out of the asteroid field ::
Host CO_Bafii says:
CSO: Beam it aboard the cube, I won't leave it here as a clue and I'm not bringing it aboard.
Host Doral says:
Action : The cube fires at the body destroying it.
Host CO_Bafii says:
Powers: Are we still effectively jamming any subspace signals?
CSO_Biishe says:
::nodding, looks for a nice secluded spot on the cube.  Locking onto the body, she beams it over it.::
CMO_Qui says:
<Powers>:: Checks console ::   CO: Aye sir
CSO_Biishe says:
::Watches as it disintegrates the same moment the lock occurred.::
XO_Amendoeria says:
@::still waiting for an answer:: Doral: We are moving on, but perhaps you should give me a bit more information here.
CSO_Biishe says:
CO:  Looks like the body is not going to be a problem.  They have destroyed it.
Host CO_Bafii says:
::nods:: CSO: Works for me.
Yason says:
@Doral: Agreed
CSO_Biishe says:
CO:  Assuming everything is on the up and up.  ::Massages her head at the pounding headache::
Host Doral says:
@XO: Cmdr. I am afraid that our position has been comprised by this saboteur and we need to get out of here soon.
XO_Amendoeria says:
@Doral: We are already underway.  It shouldn't be much longer before we come to the edge of the asteroid field.
CMO_Qui says:
<Powers>:: Banks the Paula Greene gently to starboard then adjusting the pitch ever so slightly ::
Host Doral says:
@ ;;takes the AT to the communication array:: XO: This is the communication array that we told you about.
Yason says:
@Doral: Should we raise shields?
CSO_Biishe says:
@::Frowns and opens her eyes as past visions swim in the blackness of her memories.::

XO_Amendoeria says:
@ *CO*: Captain, Doral thinks that the saboteur may have compromised our location.
Host Doral says:
@Yason: I agree see to that please.
Host CO_Bafii says:
*XO*: Understood.
Host CO_Bafii says:
CSO: Intensify scans, let’s see if we are going to have guests.
Host CO_Bafii says:
Powers: Prepare for evasive maneuvers if we do have guests.
Host Doral says:
@XO: As you can see it is powered separate from the cube and has a force field around it.
CMO_Qui says:
<Power> :: Fingers fly over console ::  CO: Aye sir...evasive in the hopper
CSO_Biishe says:
::Her eyes focus on her station as she again scans the area for anything.::  CO:  Still clear.  Nothing on the probe either.
XO_Amendoeria says:
@ Doral: And this is the net that is keeping your crew interconnected?
Yason says:
@::raises the shields::
Host Doral says:
@XO: No this is the communication that tell the collective where we are. We keep it jammed to prevent them from knowing where we are however they still find out every so often.
XO_Amendoeria says:
@Doral: And why can't you disconnect it?
Host Doral says:
@XO: We don't have the know how to disconnect it or to get through the force field.
OPS_Powers says:
:: Sensors pick up a large asteroid dead ahead and she corrects course, dropping altitude to pass under it ::
Yason says:
@Doral: Shields are rising.
Host CO_Bafii says:
Powers: Once we are both outside the field, set course for SB279 and engage at warp 9.
OPS_Powers says:
CO: Aye sir
XO_Amendoeria says:
@::raises an eyebrow::  Doral: That could be a problem.  ::calls Mushgrave up to work on the problem::
OPS_Powers says:
:: Monitors the passage of this large asteroid.  Notes it is at the end of the asteroid field ::
CSO_Biishe says:
::Turns to look at the view screen, feeling the prowling in the back of her mind.  She keeps it back and focuses on relaxing.::
OPS_Powers says:
CO: Sir, as soon as we are clear of this last asteroid, we'll be clear the field.  I have course set for SB 279, warp 9.
Host CO_Bafii says:
Powers: Good.
Host Doral says:
@::stops for a moment receiving a COM:: XO: Cmdr. I am afraid that we only have 5 minutes till a Borg vessel appears. :: transports the AT back to the Paula Greene::
Host CO_Bafii says:
::still uneasy about this::

Yason says:
@::readies weapons::
Host Doral says:
Action: The AT materializes on the bridge of the Paula Greene.
OPS_Powers says:
:: Monitors the last asteroid noting clearance ::   CO: We are clear the asteroid field.  Proceeding to SB 279 at warp 9.   :: Activates warp engines ::
Host CO_Bafii says:
::stands as he sees his team appear on the bridge:: All: What the...
XO_Amendoeria says:
::looks around:: CO: Sir, Doral beamed us back.  Said something about a Borg ship on the way, 5 minutes out.
CSO_Biishe says:
::Her eyes move toward the AT as her body is still.::
CSO_Biishe says:
::Turns to look at her sensors.::
Host Doral says:
@::takes the Cube to warp 9 behind the PG::
Host CO_Bafii says:
XO: Understood.  Help with tactical incase this gets nasty.
Yason says:
@Doral: We are ready for battle.
CSO_Biishe says:
CO:  I am picking up something on the fringes of long-range sensors.  It could be the Borg.
XO_Amendoeria says:
::nods and walks up the ramp near his wife then takes a place at the tac bar, raising shields::
Host Doral says:
@Yason: Very good
Host CO_Bafii says:
Powers: Maximum warp
OPS_Powers says:
CO: Increasing to warp 9.9 sir
Host Doral says:
@:: increases the Cube speed to match the PG::
Host CO_Bafii says:
Powers: Move us to take position behind the cube.
CSO_Biishe says:
::Her eyes shift over toward Tealk.::
Host CO_Bafii says:
XO: Ready rear torpedoes, full spread.
OPS_Powers says:
CO: Aye sir...    :: Sends communication to the Cube, then adjusts altitude while slowly just a bit so the Cube can pass overhead. ::
Host Doral says:
@COM: CO: Captain this is Doral we have a relay overheating and need to drop out of warp for 10 minutes to repair it.
OPS_Powers says:
:: Monitors the location of the Cube, noting when they are clear and in front of the Paula Greene.  Returns to previous altitude and runs behind the cube ::
OPS_Powers says:
CO: We are in position behind the Cube, sir
Host CO_Bafii says:
::swears under his breath::  Powers: Take us out of warp, full stop.
Host CO_Bafii says:
COM: Doral: Continue on this course at the best speed you can.  We will stay behind.
Host CO_Bafii says:
CSO: Time to intercept?
OPS_Powers says:
:: Fingers fly over console taking the Paula Greene out of warp.  Initiates reverse engines slowly bring her to a full stop ::
OPS_Powers says:
CO: Full stop, Captain
Host Doral says:
@::takes the cube to impulse power:: COM: CO: Captain we can maintain full impulse.
CSO_Biishe says:
::Shakes her head::  CO:  I do not read them following.
Host CO_Bafii says:
COM: Doral: Then do it, keep moving.
Host CO_Bafii says:
::turns:: CSO: But you do still have them on sensors?
CSO_Biishe says:
CO: No... I do not.  I don't think they went further then where I last read them.
Host CO_Bafii says:
::grumbles::  CSO: Keep on it.
OPS_Powers says:
:: Checks sensors ::
Host CO_Bafii says:
Powers: Keep us with the cube then.
OPS_Powers says:
CO: Aye sir...   :: Engages engines ::
Host Doral says:
Action: As soon as the Cube drops out of warp the PG sensors pick up a trans warp signature  10000 k ahead and six Borg vessels coming out of it.
CSO_Biishe says:
::Eyes open wide::  CO:  Captain... problems.
Yason says:
@Doral: Should we attack the ships?
CSO_Biishe says:
::Adjusts sensors to confirm.::
Host CO_Bafii says:
::sighs:: CSO: On screen.
CSO_Biishe says:
CO:  I am picking up a trans warp signature just ahead... 6 Borg ships.  ::Puts it on screen.::
Host CO_Bafii says:
CSO: Configurations?  Cubes or smaller vessels?
Host Doral says:
Action: The 6 Borg Vessels fire on the Cube one of them hitting the shuttle from the PG and setting off the explosives destroying the Cube.
CSO_Biishe says:
CO:  Varying kinds...  Captain...
CSO_Biishe says:
::Turns to look at the screen.::  CO:  They hit the shuttle... the explosives aboard it... ::Looks over at Tealk.::
Host CO_Bafii says:
CSO: Beam aboard the survivors.
Host Doral says:
Action: As the Borg vessels head back towards the trans warp corridor 2 of them fire at the PG rocking it very hard.
CSO_Biishe says:
::Clutches the console as she shakes her head.:: CO:  There are no survivors.
Host CO_Bafii says:
CSO: How do we collapse that corridor?
CSO_Biishe says:
CO:  A huge explosion... inside it.
Host Doral says:
Action: The Captain is thrown out of the center seat in to a console rendering him unconscious::
CSO_Biishe says:
::Stands up and instinctively grabs a med kit and heads over to the captain.::
XO_Amendoeria says:
::sees the Captain fall:: All:  Firing all weapons!  ::fires everything hoping to explode a vessel inside the conduit::
Host Doral says:
Action: The Borg vessels disappear through the corridor.
CSO_Biishe says:
::Down on her knees, she runs a medical sensors over him.::
CSO_Biishe says:
::Sits back.::  XO:  He will be fine.  Just knocked out.  ::Reaches into her bag.::
Host Doral says:
