USS Apache
Mission #244, Episode 5
10412.10
"Distant Early Warning..."

Prologue: The EO has just begun to set up the communications beacon at the mouth of the cave. The Away Team has just begun their departure of the strange machine they have encountered and are making their way back out of the cave.

They do have a bit of ways to go yet as a sphere shaped ship approaches the Apache and the planet below.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<Begin Mission>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

OPS_Ryushi says:
::sitting at Ops, trying to establish the transporter lock::

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
:: makes his way toward the bridge, to report he is now fit for duty::

CSO_Tyler says:
::sitting on the bridge, watching sensors carefully::

Host XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
@CTO/CNS: Let's move!

FCO_Ilianor says:
::on the bridge, keeping his fingers on helm control, looking around to see everyone else's expressions...::

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
::enters the TL:: TL: Deck 1!

CNS_Solaa says:
@XO: Hey hey! What's happening?!

EO_B`Renak says:
@::working on the communications array::

CTO_Grey-feather says:
@:: with phaser in hand is almost pushing the XO ::  XO: Don't have to tell me twice ma'am :: heads for the cave ::

MO_Turok says:
::In sickbay rechecking equipment in preparation of any casualties::

OPS_Ryushi says:
CEO: Attempting to establish Transporter lock, sir.

EO_B`Renak says:
*CEO*: I am setting up the communications array.

CNS_Solaa says:
@::holds her pot carefully as she catches up to the rest of the Away Team::

Host XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
@CNS: The machine started powering up.  I don't know what that means, and don't really want to find out.  So we're going back to the cave opening

CNS_Solaa says:
@XO: Machine? ::is confused:: You found a machine?

Action: The sphere is moving fast on the Apache's position. As it gets closer, the warp signature is all too familiar to the Federation crew... it is indeed.... Borg....

FCO_Ilianor says:
::turns around:: OPS: Are they out yet? And where is Cmdr. Cha`Dak... ::sighs::

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
::exits the TL::

Host XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
@CNS: Yes, we did, Counselor.  Where have you been?

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
ALL: Report!

CNS_Solaa says:
@XO: Oh, I was just doing a little anthropological work...

OPS_Ryushi says:
FCO: No, sir, I still can’t lock on to them...

FCO_Ilianor says:
::nods:: CEO: Commander. We're waiting for the team to exit... and according to my sensors, the vessel's approaching... and yes, as expected... it's Borg, sir.

CSO_Tyler says:
CEO: Borg ship closing. Recommend evading and getting the heck out of here.

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
FCO: On screen!

FCO_Ilianor says:
CEO: Aye, sir. ::changes the views, and tries to grab an image of the ominous sphere...::

CTO_Grey-feather says:
@XO/CNS: Ladies can we have this discussion closer to the surface??

Action: A swarm of bats emerge from deep within the cave, making the EO's job a little more difficult as she knocks over the communications beacon.

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
::walks around to the Big Chair::

Host XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
@CNS: Anthropological work?  CTO: I see your point, Grey-feather.

Host XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
@CNS: We'll talk about this later, Counselor.

EO_B`Renak says:
@::sees the bats and is surprised::  ALL: ARgh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11Bats I hate bats.  ::begins to swing at the bats::

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
Self: Y'inTagh!!

FCO_Ilianor says:
CEO: I should remind you, that for all the extra maneuverability of a New Orleans-class vessel, we don't stand much of a chance against a Borg sphere, sir.

CNS_Solaa says:
@CTO/XO: Well, c'mon then! ::quickens her pace and passes both of them::

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
OPS: Do we have a lock on our away team?

Action: The EO battles with the swarm and stumbles over the communications array, damaging it in the process.

Host XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
@CNS: Agreed. Let's keep moving.

CTO_Grey-feather says:
@:: follows the others towards the cave::

Host XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
@CTO: What did you notice in the cave drawings, Lieutenant?

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
FCO: Thank you for the reminder, Lieutenant.  ::said with a slight trace of sarcasm::

CSO_Tyler says:
CEO: It's either all of us, or just the Away Team Sir. We should get out of here.

OPS_Ryushi says:
CEO:  Not yet, sir.  still attempting to establish.  I cannot penetrate the metals in the walls of this cave.

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
::curses to himself with indecision ...  the away team, or the Apache .... ::

FCO_Ilianor says:
::grins despite himself:: CEO: You are quite welcome, sir!

CTO_Grey-feather says:
@:: talking while moving :: XO: We have trouble commander.  The war these people was fighting was with the Borg

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
CSO: Weapons status, Mr. Tyler!

Host XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
@CTO: The Borg!  Oh, great.  How close are we to the cave entrance?

CNS_Solaa says:
@CTO: Borg?! Are you sure?!

Action: The sphere quickly appears within visual range of the Apache and instantly begins scanning the vessel.

CSO_Tyler says:
::looks and powers weapons, activating red alert:: CEO: Weapons and shields are ready.

CTO_Grey-feather says:
@CNS: Trust me counselor its the Borg

OPS_Ryushi says:
CEO: Sir, we are being scanned.

CSO_Tyler says:
CEO: Sir, we don't stand a chance.

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
ALL: I am not leaving without the away team.

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
FCO: Prepare evasive maneuvers.

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
OPS: Mr. Ryushi, keep trying to get a lock on our away team

OPS_Ryushi says:
CEO: Aye, sir.

EO_B`Renak says:
@CTO: Yes sir I believe it is the Borg.

OPS_Ryushi says:
CEO: Sir, we are being hailed, by the Sphere.

FCO_Ilianor says:
CEO: Oh, not to worry, sir, I'm quite ready with THOSE... you need only give the word.

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
CSO: Target their shield generators, if it comes down to it ..........

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
OPS: On screen.

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
::frowns at the viewscreen::

OPS_Ryushi says:
CEO: Aye...  ::brings the hail onscreen::

Host XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
@CNS/CTO: Let's hurry and get to the cave entrance so we can beam out of here.

Action: An image from within the heart of the sphere appears. There is no one on the screen... only the haunting sound of millions of Borg drones can be heard speaking at once....

Borg says:
COM: Apache: We are the Borg. You will be assimilated. Your technological and biological advances will be added to our own. Resistance is futile....

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
OPS: Cut it off.... we know the speech.

CTO_Grey-feather says:
@CNS/XO: Faster ladies, run faster

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
FCO: Take us out of orbit, Mr Ilianor.

OPS_Ryushi says:
::cuts the transmission::  CEO: Aye, sir.

CNS_Solaa says:
@CTO: I am running as fast as I can, Mr. Grey-feather! There could be Borg in this cave!

FCO_Ilianor says:
CEO: Aye sir... and we're off to where?

Host XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
@CTO: Don't have to tell me twice, Joshua!

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
FCO: Take us out of orbit, and hold position at 1000 km

CSO_Tyler says:
::targets the shield generators.. or he hopes the shield generators of the sphere:: OPS: Keep trying to get a lock, let me know if you do.

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
CSO: What is the sphere doing?

CTO_Grey-feather says:
@CNS: No but with that machine activated it shouldn't be long before they are here

EO_B`Renak says:
@::gets an idea::

CSO_Tyler says:
CEO: Scanning us, and heading our way still.

FCO_Ilianor says:
CEO: Aye. ::redirects the thrusters, taking the Apache out of orbit, heading towards the Borg sphere to a distance of a thousand kilometers::

Action: A tractor beam, attaches itself to the Apache as the sphere quickly comes within range.

Host XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
@CTO: That's not a good thought.

OPS_Ryushi says:
CEO: Aye, sir.  ::working::

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
ALL: It's only a sphere, people - we've seen worse.

EO_B`Renak says:
@CTO: Sir I can reconfigure the communications array to be a shield if needed

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
CSO: Fire, Ensign!

OPS_Ryushi says:
CEO: Sir, we're being held by a tractor beam of some sort...

CNS_Solaa says:
@::squeals:: CTO: Don't tell me that!!

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
OPS: Full power to shields .... 

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
FCO: Engines on full reverse, Lieutenant!

OPS_Ryushi says:
::boosts power to the shields::

FCO_Ilianor says:
::screams:: CEO: Tractor beam! We're stuck... Aye. ::tries to pull back the Apache... but the strain must be intense on the hull...::

CSO_Tyler says:
::fires at his target on the sphere::

Action: An army of rat-like creatures... disturbed by the Away Teams hastiness suddenly jumps out and stampedes the Away Team in their angst to get away from them...

Action: The weaponry has little effect on the hull of the sphere...

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
Self: What I wouldn't give for a Vor'cha class right now ....

Host XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
@All: Ack!  I was hoping we'd be through with those rat things.

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
OPS: Mr Ryushi, our away team?

OPS_Ryushi says:
CEO: Sir, I suggest powering down the engines... Structural integrity is failing.

CSO_Tyler says:
::retargets for the tractor emitter, and fires a full spread of torpedoes::

OPS_Ryushi says:
CEO: Sorry, sir, not yet.

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
OPS: Negative, Ensign.

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
CSO: Tell me something good, Mr. Tyler?

CSO_Tyler says:
CEO: First volley had no effect.

CNS_Solaa says:
@::sees the rats come at her:: ALL: WHOA!

FCO_Ilianor says:
CEO: Sir, the tractor beam will crush us... unless we can damage it and take it offline... but I don't recommend we force our way out of the tractor beam.

CTO_Grey-feather says:
@::fires phaser trying to herd an opening in the stampede :: Aloud : Rats...why did it have to be rats?

Action: An army of Borg materializes on the planet's surface, just outside the mouth of the cave. They stare down upon the EO with cold, unemotional eyes as they advance upon her.

EO_B`Renak says:
@*CTO*: Sir I can reconfigure the communications array to a shield if you want

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
CSO: Target their tractor beam ....

CSO_Tyler says:
CEO: Oh.. wait.. that's the bad news.. the good news.. we've lightened our load of torpedoes so we'll get home about 5 minutes faster now.

Action: The Apache is drawn toward the sphere as a hole opens up in the hull of the Borg vessel.

FCO_Ilianor says:
::turns around and gives the CSO the most disgusted look ever::

CSO_Tyler says:
CEO: Already targeted Sir.. firing. ::fires at the tractor emitter again::

CNS_Solaa says:
@::runs backwards and gets behind the CTO as he shoots:: CTO: I shoulda brought a phaser...

EO_B`Renak says:
@:: looks back with equal coal black eyes and doesn't move::

FCO_Ilianor says:
CEO: Sir, we're being pulled into the Sphere....!

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
ALL: Is everyone armed?

CSO_Tyler says:
::grins at the FCO, and continues to fire::

OPS_Ryushi says:
CEO: Sir, I strongly recommend disengaging engines, Structural integrity at 38%.

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
::growls in frustration::

CTO_Grey-feather says:
@*EO*: Take that up with the XO I am a little busy shooting now :: continues firing ::

Action: Several Borg move toward the mouth of the cave and enter it.... about 8 to be exact... while the 9th, reaches for the EO...

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
OPS: Leave it until it drops to 10%

Action: The tractor beam begins to falter it's hold on the Apache...

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
CSO: Tyler ....!?

OPS_Ryushi says:
CEO: Sir.... aye.

FCO_Ilianor says:
::looks around for a weapon:: CEO: Armed? ::leans over and grabs a phaser:: Never leave your quarters without it.

Host XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
@CTO: What's going on, Lieutenant?

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
OPS: Can we send something down the tractor beam from our deflector?

CTO_Grey-feather says:
@XO: If the Borg is coming I hope you remembered to bring your pistol commander

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
OPS: We may be able to break their hold ... perhaps with an inverted tractor beam pulse?

OPS_Ryushi says:
CEO: It is certainly a possibility, sir.

Action: The tractor beam suddenly drops and several cascade explosions begin within the sphere...

CTO_Grey-feather says:
@XO: Something has got these rats all scared  :: shoots again ::

Host XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
@CTO: I've got my phaser, if that's what you mean.

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
CSO: You DID IT, Tyler!

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
ALL: HA HA!!!

EO_B`Renak says:
@::ducks and just misses the grasp::

CTO_Grey-feather says:
@XO: I meant revolver actually...but when in Rome as they say

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
OPS: Our away team! Anything?

Host XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
@CTO: The pistol you gave me is still locked up in my quarters.

OPS_Ryushi says:
CEO: Still working, sir...

EO_B`Renak says:
@::reconfigures the beam quickly as a shield and stops the advancing Borg::

FCO_Ilianor says:
CEO: Sir, pulling us back, away from the sphere... it's... it's imploding, for some reason...?

CNS_Solaa says:
@::picks up a large rock and hurls it at a rat passing by::

CSO_Tyler says:
::scans the sphere::

Computer says:
All: Warning, intruder alert.... Deck 10, section 6.... Warning... intruder alert... Deck 9, section 8... warning....

EO_B`Renak says:
@*XO*: Sir there are nine Borg just 10 meters from me and I have stopped them temporarily.

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
FCO: Go .. go go go.

FCO_Ilianor says:
::stiffens, as he hears the intruder alert::

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
*SEC*: Security, get to Deck 10 .. we have company!!!

OPS_Ryushi says:
CEO:  Sealing off decks 9 and 10, sir.

Action: The Borg stops short of the EO, looking confused before trying futilely to get hold of her.

Host XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
@*EO*: Acknowledged

EO_B`Renak says:
@*XO*: But sir however, there are a large collection of rat like creatures looking at me.

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
OPS: Good work ... level 10 forcefield ... let's hope that works.

Host XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
@*EO*: Well, that's because we accidentally disturbed them in their lair.  Sorry about that.

CTO_Grey-feather says:
@XO: Sounds like things have gone from bad to worse,

EO_B`Renak says:
@:: keeps one eye on the Borg and one on the rats::

OPS_Ryushi says:
CEO: Aye, Level 10 EM modulating band forcefields in place.

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
COM: Apache: Attention crew of the Apache ... we have intruders on board ... evacuate to your safety positions immediately.

Host XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
@CTO: Agreed. Suggestions?

EO_B`Renak says:
@*XO*: Sir these Borg are staring me with confusing looks.  It is almost like they have been severed from the hive mind.  Peculiar indeed.

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
CSO: Mr Tyler .... can we produce an EMP pulse here on the ship?

FCO_Ilianor says:
CEO/OPS: Maybe I'm just no expert on Borg... but can't we just lock onto them and beam them off the ship?

CTO_Grey-feather says:
@XO: Yes but your not going to like it.  Borg usually don't perceive others as a threat in limited numbers.  You, the EO,  and the counselor exit one at a time.  I will give them something to worry about

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
OPS: Do as Mr Ilianor suggests, immediately!

Host XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
@*EO*: Could be.

Action: The Borg quickly spread throughout the ship as intruder alerts sound throughout the vessel... mainly on all decks and sections on deck 10 and below....

OPS_Ryushi says:
FCO: Not without dropping shields first, Commander...

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
OPS: Our shields are useless .. they're already here.

FCO_Ilianor says:
OPS: ... What is the destroyed Borg ship going to do, flame us to death?

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
OPS: Drop shields and try beaming them out.

Host XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
@CTO: Okay, if that's the best that can be done.

OPS_Ryushi says:
CEO: Aye, dropping shields, locking on to the Borg...

CSO_Tyler says:
CEO: If I reconfigure the main deflector, possibly. ::gets to work trying to get out an EM pulse::

CTO_Grey-feather says:
@XO: I am open to suggestions but I don't think anyone has anything better

FCO_Ilianor says:
::his eyes widen, as he turns back to his console, and begins to monitor the region for other Borg signatures... as he keeps a phaser close by::

OPS_Ryushi says:
CEO: Sir, I can't get a lock on the Borg.

Action: The Borg enter the cave and meet the away team advancing on them as they near the mouth of the cave

FCO_Ilianor says:
CEO: Sir, I highly recommend a level-10 forcefield around the Bridge and main engineering.

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
FCO: Do it.

Host XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
@::points at the CNS to come with her::

OPS_Ryushi says:
CEO: It may be due to the forcefields.  I could drop the fields and try it then, but that would mean allowing the Borg into other areas of the ship.

Action: Several systems begin shutting down throughout the Apache as the Borg assimilate the ship as well as the crew... there isn't much response from main engineering...

CSO_Tyler says:
::taps away:: CEO: I think I'm ready to try it now. Powering up the main deflector.

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
OPS: Are the forcefields holding them back?

FCO_Ilianor says:
::nods, and quickly activates a forcefield around the bridge... as he starts noticing strange things from the computer::

CNS_Solaa says:
@::follows the XO::

CTO_Grey-feather says:
@All: Dang...Move.  :: starts firing at the lead Borg ::

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
Self: Not already ....

OPS_Ryushi says:
CEO: They are contained from decks 10 and down.

CSO_Tyler says:
::sets the main deflector to emit an electro-magnetic pulse, and waits to see what happens::

Host Admiralla says:
Action: The Borg are able to adapt quickly to the forcefields and quickly walk through them...

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
CSO: Whenever you're ready, Ensign!

CNS_Solaa says:
@::tries not to dwell on the fact that some Borg are looking to assimilate her::

Host Admiralla says:
Action: The first drone drops from the CTO's phaser fire...

MO_Turok says:
::Listens to the klaxon and wonders:: Self: Great, now what!

Host XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
@::ducks down and runs, firing as she goes::

CSO_Tyler says:
CEO: Trying now!

CNS_Solaa says:
@::runs and ducks, not being able to do much else without a phaser::

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
ALL: With any luck, their cybernetic machine parts will shut down from the EMP.

CTO_Grey-feather says:
@:: taps the frequency key on his phaser and fires at the next droid ::

OPS_Ryushi says:
*MO*: Mr. Turok, I strongly suggest arming yourself.  We have Borg intruders.

Action: The second drone drops from the XO's phaser blast, but the third has adapted to the phaser fire

MO_Turok says:
*OPS*: Great! Any casualties known yet?

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
OPS: Curse them!!!! Drop the forcefields and try beaming them out.

EO_B`Renak says:
@XO*: Rotate the frequency

OPS_Ryushi says:
CEO: Aye, forcefields down, attempting to lock on...

CSO_Tyler says:
::activates the deflector's charged pulse::

OPS_Ryushi says:
*MO*: Unknown, sir.

CNS_Solaa says:
@*Apache*: Apache, this is the Away Team... please beam us up!

Host XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
@*EO*: Acknowledged. ::rotates the frequency on her phaser.::

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
OPS: Send out a distress call.

CSO_Tyler says:
OPS: Beam them up!  Lowering shields.. now!

OPS_Ryushi says:
CEO: Sir, I no longer have control of the transporters.  The system has been assimilated.

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
OPS: All frequencies.

EO_B`Renak says:
@::sets the shield for the entrance to drop simultaneously with the Apache ::

CSO_Tyler says:
::raises shields again::

CTO_Grey-feather says:
@:: taps the frequency button on his phaser again and fires :: All: Try and make a hole through them

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
OPS: P'Taks!!!

OPS_Ryushi:
CEO: Aye... sent.

MO_Turok says:
*OPS*: Let me know if you need another phaser firer up there alright.

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
OPS: Raise forcefields again!

OPS_Ryushi says:
*MO*: Aye, sir

MO_Turok says:
::Grabs a phaser and instructs all personnel in sickbay to do the same::

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
*MO*: Turok!!! Can you get to the bridge?

Host XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
@CTO: Trying my best, Lieutenant.  Wish we could figure out how to eliminate Borg entirely.

OPS_Ryushi says:
CEO: The force fields are no longer effective, sir.

CSO_Tyler says:
CEO: Sir, how bout we cut gravity and life support to all decks 10 and below?

OPS_Ryushi says:
CEO/CSO: I still can't get a lock on the away Team, sir.

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
CSO: Try gravity first.

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
OPS: Keep trying.

CNS_Solaa says:
@*Apache*: Repeat... Apache, we are in severe dan-- ::ducks as a drone knocks into the wall and causes a shower of falling rocks::

EO_B`Renak says:
@::gets another Idea::

CSO_Tyler says:
::accesses environmental controls and cuts the gravity generators offline on decks 10 and below::

CTO_Grey-feather says:
@XO: Aye ma'am.  You, me, and every race ever assimilated wishes that  :: keeps firing ::

Action: The environmental controls are reading increases in temperature and humidity levels....

Host XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
@CTO: Agreed.  ::continues firing, rotating frequencies::

CSO_Tyler says:
CEO: Sir.. do we still have the ability to  self-destruct?

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
CSO: Let's hope so ...

FCO_Ilianor says:
CSO: Borg have been known to survive without life support... I think. CEO: Sir, we're losing more and more of our systems... in the interests of saving as many lives as we can...

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
::accesses the chair controls::

CSO_Tyler says:
CEO: Recommend arming the system.

OPS_Ryushi says:
CSO/CEO: Yes, New Orleans Class vessels do carry this capability.

EO_B`Renak says:
@XO: Why not change the bio signatures to species 8472?  The Borg are terrified of them.  They are the only ones that can destroy the Borg.

CTO_Grey-feather says:
@:: kicks one of the drones in the chest as it gets too close to the XO, then shoots it ::

CNS_Solaa says:
@::is fed up and decides to heave rocks at the Borg, and is a pretty good shot::

Host XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
@EO: That might work. Let's try it.

CSO_Tyler says:
CEO: Also recommend abandoning ship Sir.

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
CSO: What?!! You would run from a few Borg?

FCO_Ilianor says:
::rolls eyes:: CSO: Yes, that is what I was alluding to ensign.

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
ALL: We must bring the fight to them!! 

CNS_Solaa says:
@Borg: TAKE THAT, YOU UGLY CHILDREN OF A MECHANICAL WHORE! ::continues to throw rocks::

EO_B`Renak says:
@::her hands fly over the console and makes the switch::

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
CSO: Is there some sort of toxin that can be released to subdue them?

CSO_Tyler says:
CEO: A few?

EO_B`Renak says:
@XO: On your orders .

Host XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
@EO: Do it.

CSO_Tyler says:
CEO: Not that I know of. We need either something that's harmful to organic or inorganic matter. However, I have no control over those systems any longer.

Host XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
@CNS: Now, now now, no need for name calling, Counselor.

Action: The Borg falters slightly as the rock hits him.

FCO_Ilianor says:
CEO: Sir, if we don't leave, we will be assimilated, as we lose more and more of our systems.

Host XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
@::Continues firing::

OPS_Ryushi says:
CEO: All bridge functions have been disabled and rerouted to Main Engineering.

EO_B`Renak says:
@::hits the button and the bio signatures automatically change to those of species 8472::

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
Self: Dogs of Sto'vo'kor!!!!

CSO_Tyler says:
Computer: Lockout the main computer, authorization Tyler Omega Nine

MO_Turok says:
::Checking that all personnel are armed and ready to fight::

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
ALL: So, it is agreed? We get to the pods and try to abandon ship?

Computer says:
CSO: Authorization denied. You do not have the authority to do this...

CTO_Grey-feather says:
@:: ducks the attack of a drone, comes up with Bowie knife in hand and sticks the Borg ::

CSO_Tyler says:
Computer: What do I have authorization to do?

CNS_Solaa says:
@XO: I'm authorized to tell the truth, sir.

Host XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
@CNS: No argument here.

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
ALL: No!! I will NOT abandon ship! I will fight them hand to hand if I have to!

CSO_Tyler says:
::mutters:: CEO: Have fun.

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
ALL: Have we ANY control over this ship?

OPS_Ryushi says:
CEO: Not unless we can have direct access to Main Engineering.

CSO_Tyler says:
::pipes up nice and loud:: CEO: I have control over the ready room replicator and the main viewer!

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
ALL: I will not run away like a Ferengi MOTHER!!!

MO_Turok says:
*OPS*: What's going on up there Ryushi?

Action: Some of the Borg have moved past the away team and moved deeper into the tunnel .. toward the machine.... while the away team were fighting and winning over the other Borg...

FCO_Ilianor says:
CSO: Can you rig the main viewer to explode? ::winks::

OPS_Ryushi says:
*MO*: We've lost control of the ship to the Borg, sir.

CSO_Tyler says:
CEO: Sir.. an idea. What about the direct access turbolift to Main Engineering? Is there anyone that can go down there and throw something in there to blow up the place? I could take a phaser in and shoot the plasma tanks off the warp core

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
CSO: We should remain together if possible .. can you access turbolifts?

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
ALL: I'm willing to chance anything at this point.

CSO_Tyler says:
::goes to the turbolift and see if the doors open::

Host XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
@CTO/CNS: Some of them are moving deeper into the tunnel.  Going to their Mommy, maybe?

CNS_Solaa says:
@XO: Don't care... I just want them away.... ::grabs a huge rock and bashes the head of a drone::

CTO_Grey-feather says:
@XO: Good maybe we can collapse the tunnel behind them

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
::moves to a weapons locker at the back of the bridge, and retrieves a phaser rifle::

Host XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
@CTO: That's an idea.  Let's try to move out of the tunnel itself.

CNS_Solaa says:
@XO: The most wonderful thing I've heard all day!

Action: A Jefferies tube opens on the bridge of the Apache and falls to the floor near with a crash.

CSO_Tyler says:
::bangs on the door:: CEO: No luck Sir.. recommend taking the ladder to.. ::pulls his phaser and points at the opening, set to kill::

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
::turns and points his rifle at the open hatch::

FCO_Ilianor says:
All: Ready phasers! ::pushes back against his seat as the hatch opens::

CTO_Grey-feather says:
@:: moves back against the cave wall trying to protect the XO as he does.  Only attacking the Borgs that try and attack them :: XO: Aye ma'am, let'em by

OPS_Ryushi says:
::draws phaser::

Host XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
@CNS: Let's move out and let the CTO go to work.

D’Layna Abbott says:
::points her phaser rifle out at Cha`Dak and glares up at him.. her eyes showing instant relief upon the sight of her husband:: CEO: Par'machay... you live!... ::looks around the bridge::

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
D'Layna: D'Layna!!!

CNS_Solaa says:
@XO: Aye!

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
::lowers his rifle::

CNS_Solaa says:
@::runs to the mouth of the cave as fast as she can::

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
D'Layna: I should have known you'd still be fighting .... what is our status?

D’Layna Abbott says:
::climbs out of the Jefferies tube with a few other security officers behind her:: CEO: The Borg have started to assimilate our systems... many of the crew have fled to the tubes like us to avoid them... we do not know how many are still alive... but I am hopeful

Host XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
@::Goes to the mouth of the cave and watches::

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
D'Layna: I believe Turok is still fighting in sickbay ... but we are splintered at the moment.

CNS_Solaa says:
@XO: I think we're stuck down here...

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
ALL: I am of a mind to begin fighting my way to sickbay.

CTO_Grey-feather says:
@:: watches as the last Borg in this weird Congo line goes into the cave.  Motions for the XO to fire when he does at the count of 3::

Host XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
@::nods at the CTO's motion::

D’Layna Abbott says:
CEO: We are all separated... however I am optimistic that we can overcome the Borg...

CTO_Grey-feather says:
@:: makes the motion with his finger 3....2...1  and fires his phaser ::

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
ALL: What say you? Have you the courage to face them?

Host XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
@::fires at the CTO's signal::

CSO_Tyler says:
CEO: And who will stay on the bridge?

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
CSO: The bridge is useless to us.

CSO_Tyler says:
CEO: It's our only safe haven!

D’Layna Abbott says:
CEO: Sir... there is one other thing...

FCO_Ilianor says:
::shrugs:: CSO: It seems we're not safe anywhere. Well, if you're all going, I sure as hell ain't gonna stay here by myself.

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
CSO: And how long do you  think it'll be before ... 

CEO_Cha`Dak says:
::looks at D'Layna with a questioning look::

CTO_Grey-feather says:
@XO: I hope that holds them

Host XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
@CTO: Me too.

CNS_Solaa says:
@XO: God, I hope we'll be okay! ::looks around fervently hoping not to see any more Borg::

D’Layna Abbott says:
CEO: The Captain's wife sir... and his two children... I saw the three of them being chased by several Borg... ::looks very solemn::.... I could not help them sir... I had to evacuate my team to the Jefferies tubes
