CO Capt Quchant says:
CTO: Status of the Borg defenses?
CSO Ens Amuz says:
::at the Science station on the Bridge, scanning::
FCO Cmdr Foster says:
::sitting at the Flight console still trying to dodge incoming fire::
XO Cmdr Telgar says:
:: sitting at con ::
CEO Ens Silek says:
::in Engineering assessing the damage::
CTO Ens Koval says:
:: at the Tactical station on the Bridge :: CO: Not much to report about, still fully operational.
CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
::wakes up in Sickbay::
CO Capt Quchant says:
XO: Status of the reinforcements from Starfleet?
CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
MO: Hewwo?
XO Cmdr Telgar says:
CO:  Still 14 hours out Captain.
CSO Ens Amuz says:
::looks at the report from her science team and frowns::
MO Wong says:
::Comes out of the doctor's office::  CIV:  You rang?
CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
MO: How's that replacement eye coming along?
FCO Cmdr Foster says:
::dodges a couple of close shots:: CTO: You are shooting back at these things right???
CSO Ens Amuz says:
CO: Captain, I have a preliminary report from my science team that has been studying the Borg technology we have acquired, unfortunately all they can tell me is that they don't recognize a lot of the technology
CO Capt Quchant says:
CSO: Are there any racial markers so we can tell which race it came from?
MO Wong says:
CIV:  I'm sure the techs are working on it.  We can't rush perfection you know.  ::Looks at him sympathetically::  You want us to get it right correct?
CSO Ens Amuz says:
CO: Checking.... ::shakes her head slightly:: None that I can see right now, sir. Progress is...slow
CTO Ens Koval says:
FCO: Of course. :: fires a few more phaser shots ::
CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
MO: Well it better not be Wong! Now, am I clear to return to duty?
CO Capt Quchant says:
CSO: Understood.  Keep on it though

ACTION:  The Firing from the Borg ship just stops.  Suddenly the Borg cube explodes and there are no more left.  The Tal War has suffered some damage about 20%.  A couple hours work.

FCO Cmdr Foster says:
All: Finally!
CEO Ens Silek says:
::consults the damage on the main status display in Engineering and begins sending repair crews::
CSO Ens Amuz says:
Self: Well that was...strange...
MO Wong says:
CIV: Well you don't have to be rude about it.  You can go back to the bridge.
CO Capt Quchant says:
::holds onto the chair arms as the ship rocks::
CO Capt Quchant says:
ALL: Status... what the hell was that?
CTO Ens Koval says:
CO: I don't think we did that.. Sensors show it came from deep inside the cube.
CTO Ens Koval says:
CO: I'm sure they self-destructed.
XO Cmdr Telgar says:
CO:  It appears that the last cube has exploded Captain.
CO Capt Quchant says:
CEO: Damage report
CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
MO: Rude? I wasn't rude... I am just irritated after being a blimin' Borg! Don't take it so personally. Don't have a cow. ::heads for the exit:: Thanks!
CO Capt Quchant says:
XO: Well...good I guess...just them on the surface to take care of and we can all go have a coffee
MO Wong says:
::Mimics the CIV::  Self:  I wasn't rude.....don't have a cow..... ::Walks back into his office::
XO Cmdr Telgar says:
CO:  Yes, I guess that's about it.
CSO Ens Amuz says:
All: You don't think it’s a bit strange that it would suddenly self-destruct like that?
XO Cmdr Telgar says:
:: chuckles and shakes her head ::  CO:  I think a good shot would be good too.
CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
Self: Note to self... next time I am Borg, use the opportunity to assimilate Wong... stupid... ::mumbles:: know-it-all...
FCO Cmdr Foster says:
::settles the ship above the pole again::
CTO Ens Koval says:
:: not taking his eyes off the console :: CSO: My thoughts exactly. Won't say it’s necessarily a bad thing, though.
CO Capt Quchant says:
XO: I'll take a rain check on that drink.   Where's the activity concentrated on the surface?
CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
Self: AND GOPHER!
CEO Ens Silek says:
*XO*: Engineering to Bridge... status of damage is the following ... Weapons are at 40% efficiency... Engines are at 84% efficiency... I shall attempt to expedite repairs
XO Cmdr Telgar says:
:: looks at the console and taps at it :: CO: Northern Continent.
CO Capt Quchant says:
XO: The whole thing... or one specific place.  Let's give Ensign Koval something to shoot at
CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
::walks onto the bridge. Appearance: Bald, one damaged antenna, an eye patch over his right eye and still small pieces of Borg implants here and there::
XO Cmdr Telgar says:
:: looks up at the Captain ::  CO:  Engineering just reported weapons at 40% and Engines at 84%.
CSO Ens Amuz says:
::glances across the room as the CIV enters::
CTO Ens Koval says:
:: smiles at the CO's comment about him ::
FCO Cmdr Foster says:
::re-calibrates the flight controls::
XO Cmdr Telgar says:
CO:  One specific place Captain.
CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
::nods to the CSO, holding himself with confidence, then steps before the CO and XO:: CO/XO: Reporting back for duty, Sirs.
CSO Ens Amuz says:
CO/XO: Sirs, I am picking up high energy readings around the northern continent... it is concentrated. ::looks confused:: Like a singularity
CO Capt Quchant says:
XO: Give the co-ordinates to tactical and let's start with throwing the torpedoes at them
XO Cmdr Telgar says:
:: nods at the CO ::  CO:  Coordinates to tactical now.  CIV:  Welcome back Thalev.
CO Capt Quchant says:
*CEO*:  We need to keep up on the weapons.  I've having tactical use the torpedoes first, make the phaser banks a priority to get back up and running
CSO Ens Amuz says:
::runs a more concentrated scan:: CO/XO: It's a worm hole! Don't fire, we don't know what it might do.
CO Capt Quchant says:
CIV: *nods*  Take your station
XO Cmdr Telgar says:
CSO:  A singularity?
CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
XO: Thank you, Sharra. ::goes back to formal mode:: How can I assist, Commander?
FCO Cmdr Foster says:
CSO: Oh god, tell me there aren't more of those things coming.
CTO Ens Koval says:
:: stares at CSO with a surprised look ::
CO Capt Quchant says:
CSO: Scan for Romulan technology
XO Cmdr Telgar says:
CIV:  Just see if you can see what Ensign Amuz is.
FCO Cmdr Foster says:
::frowns:: CO: Romulans?
CSO Ens Amuz says:
FCO: I am not sure. All: Bombarding is not going to work, the worm hole is small, it wouldn’t be precise enough from orbit... we would need to get closer
CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
::looks over at the CSO:: XO: Isn't that a Ligonian?
CEO Ens Silek says:
*CO*: Acknowledged Sir... Priority to weapons...
XO Cmdr Telgar says:
CIV:  Yes.
CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
XO: I don't know if it's the whole being half robot experience, but ... HUH?
CEO Ens Silek says:
::changes the repair crews from the engines to the weapons::
XO Cmdr Telgar says:
CIV:  Thalev...:: shakes her head ::....what I mean is, check the sensors for the same information that she is viewing.
CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
::nods:: XO: OOOooh! Right! I can do that. Yes ma'am.
CO Capt Quchant says:
CTO: Are the torpedoes ready?
CTO Ens Koval says:
CO: Locked and loaded, sir.
XO Cmdr Telgar says:
CO:  It would seem that we are going to have to go down there.
FCO Cmdr Foster says:
XO: You wanna see how low we can go?
CSO Ens Amuz says:
All: Could we not take a shuttle?
CO Capt Quchant says:
XO: Let's hold that thought...
CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
::steps up next to the CSO:: CSO: Ensign.
XO Cmdr Telgar says:
CO:  Of course Sir.
CSO Ens Amuz says:
CIV: Commander ::nods::
CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
CSO: How can I assist you?
XO Cmdr Telgar says:
FCO:  Hold that thought Will.
CO Capt Quchant says:
FCO: I'm going to make earn your pay today
FCO Cmdr Foster says:
XO: Ok but it's heavy.
CSO Ens Amuz says:
CIV: You could review these readings on the worm hole, sir ::moves to the side:: CO/XO: Sirs, there are several building sites springing up...like ship yards
FCO Cmdr Foster says:
CO: You mean I haven't done that already? I kept your ass out of the firing line. ::grins::
CO Capt Quchant says:
FCO: see what you can do about getting closer to the surface.  Let's see what we can do about making Ensign Koval's job easier
CO Capt Quchant says:
XO: Brace for atmospheric insertion
CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
::nods and looks at the readings:: CO/XO: Sir... the Borg are coming through the worm hole... there's loads of them... Now would be the perfect time for the dun dun dun music.
XO Cmdr Telgar says:
CO:  Aye Sir.   *Shipwide*  All hands, brace for atmospheric insertion.
FCO Cmdr Foster says:
Self: I'm sure I just suggested that. ::taps at his console:: Ready to go on your signal.
CO Capt Quchant says:
FCO: Do it.
CO Capt Quchant says:
CTO: As soon as we hit the atmosphere, concentrate the torpedoes on the wormhole entrance and fire
FCO Cmdr Foster says:
::throws the Tal-War into a steep dive towards the northern continent:: CTO: You'd better be ready to fire Koval.
CO Capt Quchant says:
*CEO*: I need those phasers Ensign
CTO Ens Koval says:
CO: Aye, sir. :: presses a few buttons on the console ::
CTO Ens Koval says:
FCO: Just tell me when you can't get closer.
CSO Ens Amuz says:
CIV: How quickly do you think that Borg can construct shipyards?
CEO Ens Silek says:
*CO*: We are now at 60% efficiency.... I shall have 100% efficiency in 10 minutes.
CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
CSO: From what I learned... not very long. They could connect any of their vessels into a superstructure in mere hours.
FCO Cmdr Foster says:
CTO: Oh you'll know when we can't go any lower... either there'll be a huge explosion or you'll hear screaming from the lower decks.
CO Capt Quchant says:
*CEO*: You have 5.
CEO Ens Silek says:
::rolls eyes... knowing the Captain would say that::
FCO Cmdr Foster says:
::taps his badge:: *CEO*: We need more power to SIF and Inertial dampeners.
XO Cmdr Telgar says:
CIV:  Now that's the Thalev I know.

ACTION:  As the ship nears the surface.  Legions of Borg look up.  they move towards the weapons platforms that are being repaired.  As the ship nears, an odd looking weapon comes through the worm hole.  The Borg rush to get it operational.

CSO Ens Amuz says:
CIV: I could do with your assistance later in examining the technology we have gained from your captors, seems my Science team is only good at scratching their head in confusion
CO Capt Quchant says:
XO: I'm not confident we can blow up the Borg ships...but maybe we can collapse the wormhole
CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
::smiles:: XO: I only look like someone had fun with a Lego set.
FCO Cmdr Foster says:
All: What the hell is that?!?!?!
CO Capt Quchant says:
::looks at the screen::.
CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
CSO: It is yours.
CO Capt Quchant says:
All: Whatever it is...I don't think it's a peace envoy
CO Capt Quchant says:
CTO: Fire everything you have at that thing
CEO Ens Silek says:
*FCO*: Commander Foster.... the Captain requested all repair efforts to the weapons not to the engines... you shall have to authorize a change in priority with him.
CO Capt Quchant says:
*CEO*: Time's up.  full power to weapons and shields
XO Cmdr Telgar says:
CO:  Neither do I.
CSO Ens Amuz says:
::smiles slightly:: CIV: Thank you, Commander. ::looks at her scans:: FCO: Whatever that is, I don't think it is a welcome gift for us
FCO Cmdr Foster says:
CTO: Killit, Killit, KILL IT!!!

ACTION:  The weapon powers up and a plasma discharge is emitted.  fortunately it's not full power yet.

CTO Ens Koval says:
CO: Aye. :: fires all phaser banks and launches all torpedoes ::
CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
FCO: William, if you tense any more I think your head may explode!
FCO Cmdr Foster says:
*CEO*: Look here Ensign, if I don't get that power before I pull up you'll have no bloody ship to repair now GET ON IT!
CTO Ens Koval says:
:: continues to fire as soon as the phasers are recharged or torpedoes reloaded ::
CEO Ens Silek says:
*CO*: Acknowledged Sir.... all the power we have is assigned to weapons and shields.

ACTION:  The torpedoes and phasers bounce off what looks like to be a force field.

CTO Ens Koval says:
CO: They have it covered with some type of force field.
CO Capt Quchant says:
All: Suggestions....?
CO Capt Quchant says:
FCO: Get us back into orbit
CSO Ens Amuz says:
CO: Disable the force field, sir?
CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
CO: Tricobalt explosives?
CTO Ens Koval says:
:: continues to shoot at it ::
CO Capt Quchant says:
*Engineering*: Divert power to the shields and engines...and continue repairs
CTO Ens Koval says:
:: smiles every time a torpedo or phaser hit also takes a few Borg with them ::
FCO Cmdr Foster says:
CO: I'm getting there... ::pulls the ship upwards again and heads back out to orbit::
CEO Ens Silek says:
*CO*: Acknowledged... engines and shields.
XO Cmdr Telgar says:
CO:  If we are going to be able to close that, we are going to have to go down there.
CO Capt Quchant says:
XO: Assemble an away team.  Probably you Ensign Koval and Ensign Silek....oh and take Gopher too.  If there's anyone qualified to cause mass havoc it's him
XO Cmdr Telgar says:
CO:  Gopher Sir???
CSO Ens Amuz says:
CO: Sir, if this continent is surrounded by water, could we not flood the place?
CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
XO: Can I come out and play with you guys?
CO Capt Quchant says:
CSO: How do you suggest we do that?
CSO Ens Amuz says:
CO: I am unsure, it would require creating some new rivers... but I would need to look at the geography again
FCO Cmdr Foster says:
CO: A couple of well placed tsunamis might do the trick.
XO Cmdr Telgar says:
CO: Might I suggest taking the CIV with us.  He may be able to help us get through.
CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
::waits for the COs response:: CO: I know I only have one eye left and I know I look like someone dropped a bag of ball bearings on me, but I could be of some use.
CO Capt Quchant says:
XO: good idea.  Get going
CSO Ens Amuz says:
CO: Or as the Commander says, a tsunami or ten
XO Cmdr Telgar says:
CTO:  With me Ensign.  CIV:  Come on Thalev.
XO Cmdr Telgar says:
*CEO*  Meet me in transporter room one.
CO Capt Quchant says:
CSO: I'm up for entertaining any ideas.  If you think you can make it work, figure it out
CTO Ens Koval says:
:: follows the XO ::
CEO Ens Silek says:
*XO*: On my way Commander. ::heads to the turbo lift::
CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
::nods to the XO and follows::
CSO Ens Amuz says:
CO: Aye sir. ::begins looking at the geography of the region again::
XO Cmdr Telgar says:
:: steps in the lift :: Computer:  Transporter room one.
CSO Ens Amuz says:
::curses:: CO: Captain, my suggestion will not work... the wormhole is in the middle of the continent.
CEO Ens Silek says:
::arrives in the transporter room::
CO Capt Quchant says:
CSO: Shame...good idea though
XO Cmdr Telgar says:
:: arrives in the transporter room with the CTO and CIV in tow ::
XO Cmdr Telgar says:
CEO:  We are going to the surface to try and close that wormhole.
CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
::takes a phaser rifle and steps onto the transporter pad::
CTO Ens Koval says:
:: takes a phaser rifle and joins the CIV ::
CSO Ens Amuz says:
CO: What about other natural disasters? Like an avalanche or earthquake?
CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
CTO: Try not to shoot me this time ::grins and gives a friendly wink::
CO Capt Quchant says:
CSO: Anything you can make happen and you think has any effect let me know.  We will have people on the planet remember
XO Cmdr Telgar says:
:: checks her weapons ::  CEO/CTO/CIV:  Let's not shoot if we don't have to.  We only have a limited amount of times before they adapt.
CO Capt Quchant says:
CSO: and make sure you keep a lock on the away team
CTO Ens Koval says:
CIV: I will make an effort of it.
CEO Ens Silek says:
::frowns:: XO: A wormhole on a planet's surface?  And the planet is intact?  All the knowledge I have states what you have described as an impossibility Commander.
CSO Ens Amuz says:
CO: I understand, Captain. ::thinks:: Self: I wish people were not so eager to run to the surface where they are more vulnerable
XO Cmdr Telgar says:
CEO:  Improbable as it seems, it is a fact.
CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
CEO: Vulcans used to think Time Travel was impossible didn't they? These Borg have technologies you can only dream of, Chief.
CEO Ens Silek says:
All: This will be without a doubt an interesting away mission.
FCO Cmdr Foster says:
::makes some adjustments to the ship's orbit::
CTO Ens Koval says:
CEO: And weren't they also skeptical about dark matter? See what that turned out to be. :: smiles ::
XO Cmdr Telgar says:
Gopher:  Mister Xavier, please join us.
CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
CEO: You ancestors also thought us Andorians were your enemy and weaker. They were wrong there too.
CTO Ens Koval says:
:: laughs:: All: Okay, enough, please. I am still half-Vulcan you know.
Gopher says:
::Shocked look on his face.::  XO:  ME!!!!   Oh no Sir!  Remember I have to keep my nose clean...stay out of trouble.  Aunty Rachel will kill me if I went any further then the transporter room....  No...no...no...no...
CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
CTO: Was that the half that shot the console out on the bridge? ::grins again::
Gopher says:
XO:  I'll transport you down now though.
XO Cmdr Telgar says:
Gopher: Ensign, get your butt over here....NOW!
CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
Gopher: Don't make me shoot you.
CTO Ens Koval says:
CIV: That was the part that didn't want a Borg drone taking control of his ship. :: grins back ::
CSO Ens Amuz says:
CO: We would need to reconfigure the deflector dish to emit a sonic wave of sorts to create an earthquake. ::turns to one side:: FCO: Commander, what kind of approach would we need to create such an event? Do you think that it will bring us into weapons range?
CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
CTO: Well just as you are half-Vulcan, I too was only half-Borg... or three quarters... or...you get it.
Gopher says:
XO:  Lieutenant Sir.... ::Comes from behind the transporter console, mumbling while grabbing a phaser rifle.::  I try to behave but everyone is out to get me....  Aunty Rachel, for the record, this is Commander Telgar's fault.  I have nothing to do with this.  I promise I won't even fire my rifle.
CO Capt Quchant says:
CSO: I like that idea.  Are there any mountains around where the wormhole is situated?
FCO Cmdr Foster says:
CSO: If we're using the deflector dish I'm pretty sure I can keep us out of weapons range.
XO Cmdr Telgar says:
:: waits on Gopher to step on the pad :: Transporter Chief:  Energize.
CTO Ens Koval says:
CIV: It's a binary system, with being a Borg. You either are or aren't, 0 or 1.
CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
Gopher: If you see a big scary Borg whirring it's way over behind me, you'd better damn well shoot it or when they assimilate me again, I'm coming after you.
Gopher says:
::Steps up onto the pad::
Gopher says:
CIV:  Promises, promises... ::Mumbles again::
CSO Ens Amuz says:
CO: Examining that course of action now, sir ::looks back down at the 3D display of the geography:: There is one mountain range, the worm hole forms the mouth of what looks like a cave of sorts...
CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
CTO: Don't even pretend to know more about the Borg than me. ::grins at the XO:: XO: Let's get this party started.
CSO Ens Amuz says:
FCO: Thank you, Commander. ::turns to the CO:: CO: So if we created a land slide, we could effectively create a rock slide, but will that seal the worm hole, sir?
CO Capt Quchant says:
CSO: If we direct a sonic wave at the mountain at an angle from the other side of the mountain to the wormhole we could basically push it over in front of the mouth
CO Capt Quchant says:
CSO: well... chances are good, but we also stand the risk of it just falling into the wormhole mouth, let alone the Borg ability to just shoot through it

ACTION:  The AT beams to the surface in the middle of a Borg contingent.  Typical Borg so far.  They ignore the small motley crew as they pose no danger.

CSO Ens Amuz says:
CO: Aye, Captain. Running a simulation now. ::taps the console::
CTO Ens Koval says:
:: holds his rifle ready and looks around ::
CEO Ens Silek says:
@ XO: I shall attempt to locate the wormhole.. .::begins scanning::
XO Cmdr Telgar says:
@ :: looks around ::  All:  I hope that as long as we don't make any sudden moves, we should be able to get close enough to it to do some damage.
Gopher says:
@::True to his he stands around with his rifle pointed to the ground.::
FCO Cmdr Foster says:
::smiles as he imagines Borg coming through the wormhole and going *splat* on the bottom of the mountain::
CO Capt Quchant says:
CSO: Do you have a lock on the away team?
CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
@::keeps his phaser rifle lowered and calls on his memory:: XO: I think we're in Section 63 Beta... That means we're about two kilometers away...
CEO Ens Silek says:
@ XO: I have a bearing.... 2 km bearing 140 degrees.
CSO Ens Amuz says:
::checks that they still have a lock:: CO: Aye sir, they have just beamed to the surface and they are about two kilometers away from the wormhole
CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
@XO: What he said. ::gestures to the CEO::
XO Cmdr Telgar says:
@ All:  Ok, let's just make our way there at a slow and steady pace.
FCO Cmdr Foster says:
CSO: How many Borg do you think that mountain can hold back before it gives way?
XO Cmdr Telgar says:
@ All:  DO NOT shoot if you ABSOLUTELY do not have to.  Understood?
CSO Ens Amuz says:
FCO: Millions and millions, Commander
CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
@XO: I don't think we have the luxury of a nice morning stroll, Commander.
CO Capt Quchant says:
FCO: Anything to help slow the tide before reinforcements arrive would be a help
Gopher says:
@::Shaking, he accidently fires into the ground.  Boy the XO sounded mean today.::
FCO Cmdr Foster says:
CSO: Well that's comforting... the only question is, how many are they likely to send through before they get fed up.
CEO Ens Silek says:
@ ::tries to neck pinch Gopher::

ACTION:  Gopher falls to the ground.
