<<<<<<<<<Continue Mission>>>>>>>>

XO_VanSickle says:
::on bridge, packing heat::

CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk says:
::At station sharpening knife::

CEO_AQilla says:
::in ME monitoring shields and engines::

FCO_Vince says:
::at helm checking Mek'Leth and D'k tagh::

Host Jan_ says:
<<<<<<<<The pod and the sphere engage each other...then break off........the sphere goes back into a conduit.......>>>>>>>

XO_VanSickle says:
CO: Looks like the Borg are no match for that pod.

XO_VanSickle says:
CO: Whatever that pod is.

CO_TPaula says:
XO: It does look that way.

Host Jan_ says:
<<<<<<<<<<<<<The pod goes back to the partially destroyed cube and attaches itself to it>>>>>>>>>>>>

FCO_Vince says:
::keeping safe distance from pod and cube::

XO_VanSickle says:
::goes to the OPS station::

XO_VanSickle says:
CO: Hail that pod?

CO_TPaula says:
::nods to the XO::

FCO_Vince says:
*CEO*:  Can we go to warp yet?

CEO_AQilla says:
*FCO*:  Yes, repairs are complete

XO_VanSickle says:
::opens hailing frequencies:: COMM: Pod: Unidentified pod, this is the USS Scorpius, United Federation of Planets, Starfleet, please respond.

CEO_AQilla says:
*CO*:  Do you need me on the bridge?

XO_VanSickle says:
::sends hail in all known languages and frequencies::

XO_VanSickle says:
COMM: Pod: This is the Scorpius.  Do you read us?  Do you need assistance?

FCO_Vince says:
::prepares escape course on standby, just in case::

Host Jan_ says:
<<<<<<there is no reply from the pod>>>>>>>>>>

XO_VanSickle says:
CO: No reply, captain.

CO_TPaula says:
XO: Any useful sensor readings on the pod?

FCO_Vince says:
XO:  Could they're technology be so different that they can't be receiving us?

XO_VanSickle says:
FCO: That could be a possibility.  They also have the technology to rip a hole right through a Borg cube.

XO_VanSickle says:
CO: I can't get anything on sensors on that thing.  It...  It defies the laws of physics, at least the ones we know of.

FCO_Vince says:
XO:  I just hope they don't decide to use it on us

CEO_AQilla says:
::leaves ME heading for the bridge::

CEO_AQilla says:
::enters TL:: Computer:  Bridge

XO_VanSickle says:
CO: It is as if it isn't there.  Although we see it visually, the sensors determine it as a hole in space.

CO_TPaula says:
XO: Intriguing.  Is it having any effect on the Borg ship?

XO_VanSickle says:
CO: Other than that gaping hole...

CEO_AQilla says:
::enters Bridge and goes to Eng. station::

XO_VanSickle says:
CO: Captain.  There are no lifesigns on the cube.

XO_VanSickle says:
CO: Either that pod killed them all or the sphere transported them off and bugged out.

XO_VanSickle says:
CO: And although there aren't lifesigns, it seems someone is on there.

XO_VanSickle says:
CO: The occupant of that pod is on the cube.

XO_VanSickle says:
CO: However, sensors cannot make a lock on him.  He has the same properties as the ship... sensor hole.

XO_VanSickle says:
::decides to hail the cube now::

CO_TPaula says:
XO: They must be shielded from our sensors.

FCO_Vince says:
Self:  One pilot did all that!?

Host Jan_ says:
<<no reply>>

XO_VanSickle says:
COMM: Cube: To whomever is on the Borg cube at present, this is the USS Scorpius.  We know you're on there.  Please go to the nearest Borg communications panel and respond.

XO_VanSickle says:
COMM: Cube: Although our sensors cannot read you or your ship, we know you're aboard that cube.

CO_TPaula says:
XO: I don't think they're interested in talking to us.

XO_VanSickle says:
CO: Looks like it.

XO_VanSickle says:
CO: Ma'am, have you received any memos from SFC or SFI about covert operations at the fringe of the Delta Quadrant?

FCO_Vince says:
XO:  It's like they're ignoring us

XO_VanSickle says:
::thinks, Duh, ensign::

CO_TPaula says:
XO: Not that I recall.

XO_VanSickle says:
CO: Captain.  Sensors are now detecting several spatial anomalies on the cube.

XO_VanSickle says:
CO: Their energy signatures are similar to those of that pod and that "person" aboard, but they're much weaker.

CO_TPaula says:
XO: Bringing more of them aboard?

XO_VanSickle says:
CO: Possibly.  Captain, permission to assemble an away team to investigate?

CO_TPaula says:
XO: That's quite a risk.

XO_VanSickle says:
CO: We can't determine who they are and what they are doing on sensors alone, and they're ignoring our hails.

XO_VanSickle says:
CO: Visually is the only logical method, captain.  ::wink::

CO_TPaula says:
XO: Very well.  CTO: Keep a transporter lock on them.

XO_VanSickle says:
CO: Uh, I was going to use Sorauk.

CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk says:
CO: If the XO goes I should accompany him

XO_VanSickle says:
FCO: Vince, you're with us too.

FCO_Vince says:
XO:  Yes Sir ::gets up from helm::

CO_TPaula says:
CEO: All right, take over transporters, Lt Smith.

XO_VanSickle says:
FCO/CTO: Make sure you guys are packing heat.

CEO_AQilla says:
CO:  Aye, Ma’am

FCO_Vince says:
::puts on holsters with 357s::

CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk says:
XO: Yes sir

XO_VanSickle says:
::walks to TL and checks out his Wolper::

CEO_AQilla says:
::moves to Tactical::

XO_VanSickle says:
Computer: TR1.

FCO_Vince says:
::enter TL::

CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk says:
::Goes over to compartment and take out phaser rifle and puts it around his back and puts knife in holster::

CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk says:
::Follows FCO in to the TL::

XO_VanSickle says:
Computer: Lock onto the M-16 in my quarters and transport it to TR1.

FCO_Vince says:
CTO:  Do you want a Bat'Leth?

XO_VanSickle says:
CTO: I said heat, not phasers.

XO_VanSickle says:
CTO: Projectile weapons on this AT only.

CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk says:
XO: if you don't mind, I want to go to my quarters to get something

XO_VanSickle says:
::sees his M-16 materialize::

XO_VanSickle says:
CTO: Agreed.

CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk says:
::Exits TL and walks toward quarters and enters his quarters::

FCO_Vince says:
XO:  I could get my Bat'Leth for one of you if you want?

FCO_Vince says:
XO:  I'm using a Mek'Leth

XO_VanSickle says:
FCO: I'm fine with these guns.

CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk says:
::Picks up to wrist bands::

XO_VanSickle says:
::waits for Sorauk to return::

FCO_Vince says:
XO:  Especially with that ammo

XO_VanSickle says:
::takes out a magazine from the Wolper::

XO_VanSickle says:
FCO: Yep.  These babies can pack quite a punch.

XO_VanSickle says:
::replaces the magazine and cocks the pistol::

CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk says:
::One shoots miniature exploding arrows and other contains a large contractible 10 inch knife::

CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk says:
::Attaches them to wrists::

FCO_Vince says:
XO:  May challenge will be using a weapon with a kickback since phasers don't have any

CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk says:
::Exits quarters and walks to XO:: XO: I’m ready

FCO_Vince says:
::Takes out 357 and makes sure it's loaded::

XO_VanSickle says:
FCO: You ready, ensign?

XO_VanSickle says:
::steps on pad::

FCO_Vince says:
::Holsters revolver:: XO:  I believe so, Sir

CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk says:
::Steps on pad::

XO_VanSickle says:
CTO: Take position.

XO_VanSickle says:
*CEO* Energize!

FCO_Vince says:
::positions self in time::

CEO_AQilla says:
*XO*: Energizing.  ::beams AT to Borg ship::

Host Jan_ says:
<<<<<The Borg ship is nothing but exploding consoles and sparks.....>>>>>>>

CEO_AQilla says:
::establishes transporter lock on AT and monitors::

XO_VanSickle says:
@::sees the condition of the ship::

CEO_AQilla says:
CO:  I have a lock on the away team

XO_VanSickle says:
@CTO/FCO: Spread out, and watch for exposed wiring.

CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk says:
@::Starts to look around for hostile life::

Host Jan_ says:
<<<<<<<<Many Borg bodies lay on the diamond plated flooring>>>>>>>

CO_TPaula says:
CEO: Good.  Tell me if it falters.

XO_VanSickle says:
@::draws pistol::

CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk says:
@XO: yes sir

CEO_AQilla says:
CO:  Aye

FCO_Vince says:
@::steps around Borg bodies with pistols ready::

XO_VanSickle says:
@*CO* Captain, we have several dead Borg here.

FCO_Vince says:
@::examines bodies::

XO_VanSickle says:
@::holds pistol with muzzle upright::

CEO_AQilla says:
::wonders who could do that to the borg::

CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk says:
@::Dodges sparks and dead Borg with an arrow ready::

CO_TPaula says:
COM: XO: Any sign of the aliens?

XO_VanSickle says:
@::creeps along a corridor, looking for teh intruders::

XO_VanSickle says:
@COMM: CO: Not yet.

XO_VanSickle says:
@COMM: CO: The condition of this cube isn't so great either.

FCO_Vince says:
@::takes out tricorder attempting to determine the cause of death::

CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk says:
@::Uses tricorder to scan for aliens::

XO_VanSickle says:
@::tricorder picks up a large hole the size of the pod::

XO_VanSickle says:
@COMM: CO: I think I've located the pod.  I'm going to investigate.

XO_VanSickle says:
@::creeps along corridor to the pod::

XO_VanSickle says:
@COMM: CO: Captain, this ship is very strange.

FCO_Vince says:
@::scans for functional consoles::

CO_TPaula says:
COM: XO: How so?

XO_VanSickle says:
@COMM: CO: It looks like something the Pathfinder Project got from Voyager's transmissions.

XO_VanSickle says:
@COMM: CO: What was the name of that species with the numbers?

CO_TPaula says:
COM: XO: Species 8472?

CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk says:
@::Adjusts tricorder the scan for heat in dead and....alive body's::

XO_VanSickle says:
@COMM: CO: That's it!

FCO_Vince says:
@::downloads as much as possible at first functional console::

XO_VanSickle says:
@*CTO/FCO* Guys, adjust your tricorders!

FCO_Vince says:
@*XO*:  To what?

CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk says:
@*XO* To what?

XO_VanSickle says:
@*CTO/FCO* A alien species called 8472, as designated by the Borg, have invaded this ship.

XO_VanSickle says:
@*CTO/FCO* Access the ship's computer's up-link to SFC to get information on that species.  Adjust the tricorders accordingly.

XO_VanSickle says:
@COMM: CO: Does the ship's computer have the information on 8472?

FCO_Vince says:
@::downloads SFC data and makes adjustments accordingly::

CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk says:
@*XO* Yes sir ::finds console, downloads information and Adjusts it to scan for species 8472::

CO_TPaula says:
CEO: Check the database.

XO_VanSickle says:
@*CTO/FCO* Also look for a very large creature with four legs and two arms.

CEO_AQilla says:
CO:  Checking.  ::accesses database and finds relevant information::

XO_VanSickle says:
@*CTO/FCO* Do not fire unless in extreme emergency.

FCO_Vince says:
@*XO*:  Something tells me we'll know it when we see it

CEO_AQilla says:
CO:  Yes, Captain, we do.  The information is available for you now.

CO_TPaula says:
COM: XO: Yes, we do.

CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk says:
@*XO* its not logical to fire on an unarmed creature

CEO_AQilla says:
::adjusts ships sensors to scan for Species 8472::

XO_VanSickle says:
@COMM: CO: Did you get information on alternate appearances?

FCO_Vince says:
@*CTO*:  From what I've heard, they're armed even when they're not

XO_VanSickle says:
@::looks around for an entry port::

CO_TPaula says:
COM: XO: I don't know of any... ::scans through info to check::

CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk says:
@*XO* Hmmm ::Stops and thinks, and resume search::

XO_VanSickle says:
@COMM: CO: I thought I heard of a story where the Voyager encountered an 8472 training satellite.

FCO_Vince says:
@::continues scanning with tricorder for alien and borg lifesigns::

XO_VanSickle says:
@::finds a sensor hole approaching::

XO_VanSickle says:
@::turns and points his gun:: 8472: FREEZE!

CO_TPaula says:
COM: XO: If there are no Borg aboard, anything that moves should be one of them.

CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk says:
@*XO* Are you ok?!

Host Jan_ says:
<<<A Figure comes around the corner… it is still dark, but it looks human....it looks.....>>>>>>

XO_VanSickle says:
@*CTO/FCO* Get over here on the double.

Host Boothby says:
@XO: What are you going to do... Shoot me!??

FCO_Vince says:
@*XO*:  I'm on my way now

XO_VanSickle says:
@Boothby: Are you the genuine article or one of those 8472 creatures Voyager told us about?

FCO_Vince says:
@::Hauls booty to XO's position::

Host Boothby says:
<<<Boothby is holding up two more..."humans"....>>>>>

CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk says:
@*XO* Acknowledged ::runs with all his Vulcan strength::

XO_VanSickle says:
@::keeps weapon trained at "Boothby"::

Host Boothby says:
@XO: Voyager …  I can't seem to get away from them....::shakes his heads:: well son… you going to help me or what?

XO_VanSickle says:
@Boothby: Help you with what?

CEO_AQilla says:
CO:  Captain, I'm reading human life signs, other than the ATs.

XO_VanSickle says:
@COMM: CO: Captain!  You are not going to believe this.

FCO_Vince says:
@::arrives at Xo's position::

FCO_Vince says:
@ Boothby:  Boothby?!?
