Episode 61 - “Disappearances Part 2”
SUMMARY:  The USS Luna has arrived at the F.A.C.E.S Engineering complex to find it devoid of life.  An AT consisting of the FCO, CSO and CTO has been sent to the station to find out the cause.   The XO has been found and is on his way to the bridge.  Capt Adamson has retired to the Ready Room to report to SFC.   The Capt and CEO are still in the computer.  It is unknown at this time how they will be extracted from the computer.  An unknown blip has repeatedly gone off and on sensors.  Identification unknown.

@::Follows behind the FCO::  MO:  I am Ens. Singh.
CTO_Jarot:
@::quietly moves forward, trying to amplify his sense as they move along::  FCO: So far nothing unusual yet, Sir..  ::keeps his phaser ready, prepared for anything::

ACTION:  A Blip once again comes on LRS.  It stays a few seconds then disappears.

EO_Pat:
XO: Cmdr O'Guinn as a favor about his present situation. At the moment he would prefer that his wife not find out about his current circumstance.
TO_Mitchell:
XO: a blip just showed up on the LRS. but its gone
MO_Ens_Croft:
@::Nods:: CSO: nice to meet you ::Follows behind::
OPS_Soper:
::attempst to lock details on the blip::  Self:  There it is again...
CSO_Singh:
MO:  Either there are a lot of new people roaming around, or I need to get out of my quarters more often. ::Smiles::
TO_Mitchell:
OPS: you reading the same blip
CO_Harm:
::Scans through the databank attempting to narrow down an identity of this blip::
OPS_Soper:
::sets up a precautionary transporter lock on the Away Team::
FCO_MJDoole:
@CTO: Just be careful, I'm sensing a strangeness about this place.
XO_Savar:
EO: I shall honor his wishes, and not inform anyone of the situation until further notice.  Thank you for bringing this to my attention.
CEO_O`Guinn:
::leaves the console moves down to the computer core starts looking for the transporter programs::
XO_Savar:
::Looks around the Bridge for the highest ranking officer:: OPS: Commander, status report.
CSO_Singh:
@::Glances at her tricorder every now and then as they quietly walk along::
FCO_MJDoole:
::reaches airlock to station, looks around to make sure the whole AT is there:: ALL: Here we go. ::opens airlock::
MO_Ens_Croft:
CSO: oh i'm new ::looks down and makes sure she has her kit with her::
CTO_Jarot:
@::glances at the FCO::  FCO: That's only normal I guess, this place isn't warm and cousy...  ::smiles a little to lift the tension as he scouts ahead with his thoughts and eyes::
OPS_Soper:
XO:  Sir, we have a sensor blip appearing every few minutes we can't get a fix on.

ACTION:  As the AT enters the station and eerie quiet envelops them. It's like a tomb.   not a sound can be heard.  Lights flickering, evidence of some kind of battle took place.

CSO_Singh:
@  ::Smiles:: MO:  I bet I still need to get out more.  Welcome aboard.
FCO_MJDoole:
@::taps commbage:: Away Team to Captain Harm.
MO_Ens_Croft:
@:;Nods and looks around and shivers::  CSO: this place gives me the creeps...
OPS_Soper:
XO:  The away team is on transporter lock...just in case.
EO_Pat:
XO: Thank you sir. ::turns and enters the TL::
XO_Savar:
OPS: Has there been any correlation in the sensor readings?  As in, are you reading it in the same place each time, or moving towards us?
OPS_Soper:
XO:  No word on the Captain and ChEng at this time.
CSO_Singh:
@MO:  As long as we find what we need... but I... wait...
CTO_Jarot:
@::shines with his flashlight as he observes the marks on the walls::  FCO: Looks like an intense fight has taken place here... I suggest extra caution.. I'm uncertain who or what did this..  ::takes out his tricorder and begins scanning the residues::
OPS_Soper:
XO:  That's just it, sir...it's nearly impossible to get a fix on.
EO_Pat:
Computer: Deck 6
CSO_Singh:
@FCO:  Sir, I am picking up traces of bio residue.
MO_Ens_Croft:
@::Gets out her tricorder and starts scanning::
CO_Harm:
*FCO*: This is Captain Harm
FCO_MJDoole:
@COM: CO: It's like a tomb in here.   There's not a sound that we can hear.  Lights flickering, and there's evidence of some kind of battle took place.
MO_Ens_Croft:
@FCO: i can confirm that sir
XO_Savar:
OPS: What kind of sensor readings do you get with the blips, then?  If not position, are we reading random radiation?
CEO_O`Guinn:
::finds the program and starts to read the coding thinking it might be corrupted::
FCO_MJDoole:
@CSO: What kinda of bio residue?
CSO_Singh:
@::Looks toward the doctor to answer that as she is the medic.::
EO_Pat:
::exits the TL walks down and enters TR1:: EngTeam: Any thing yet?
OPS_Soper:
XO:  As near as we can tell, it's in the same position, and appears every five standard minutes or so.  It should be due any second again.
OPS_Soper:
::begins scanning in anticipation::
Engineering Technician:
EO: No ma'am, everything has checked out so far.
TO_Mitchell:
:: looks down at the LRS readout :: 
MO_Ens_Croft:
@::Sees the CSO look up at her:: CSO: give me a sec,
CTO_Jarot:
@::looks shocked at the FCO as his voice sounds shaky::  FCO: Lieutenant, you're not going to believe which weapon signatures I am reading...  ::looks depressed as he tries to verify::
CO_Harm:
*FCO*: Understood, be careful.  Please relay your reports to OPS or the XO, not much I can do for you in here.
EO_Pat:
::nods walks over to the console taps in a couple of commands::
XO_Savar:
::Moves towards the command center:: OPS: How far away, approximately?  SO: Ensign, where is Ms Singh?
OPS_Soper:
::monitors transporter lock on away team to verify it is still there::
SO_Silver:
::Something suddenly registers in her head and she can feel a fiery blush of annoyance mixed with embarrassment to have missed it.::
CO_Harm:
*OPS*: Can you boost power to the lateral sensor array, so I can get a better look at that ship out there.
SO_Silver:
XO:  Sir... she is on the away team.  And... you aren't going to like this...

ACTION:  The blip appears once more this time its stays long enough to get a lock.

CEO_O`Guinn:
*CO*: Captain I have check the transporter programs and the circuits in TR1 so far I have drawn a blank.
FCO_MJDoole:
@::taps commbage:: Away Team to Commander Dickinson
MO_Ens_Croft:
@FCO: well sir...I’m getting Human, Vulcan, Klingon...mostly federation species
TO_Mitchell:
:: gets a tentative lock on the blip :: OPS: transferring what I think is the location to you for verification
CO_Harm:
*CEO* Keep working on it Commander.
OPS_Soper:
CO:  Aye, Captain...::boosts power as the CO requests::  XO:  I am in communication with the Captain.  He is looking for the blip as well.
TO_Mitchell:
:: transmits to the OPS for confirmation ::
CEO_O`Guinn:
*CO*: Aye sir.
XO_Savar:
::Wonders why no one told him about the away team...:: COM: FCO: Go ahead, Lieutenant.
FCO_MJDoole:
@COM: XO: It's like a tomb in here.   There's not a sound that we can hear.  Lights flickering, and there's evidence of some kind of battle took place.
OPS_Soper:
XO:  Thus far, it is right outside Long Range Sensors.
CSO_Singh:
@::Looks around::  MO:  But only traces, nothing alive...
FCO_MJDoole:
@COM: XO: I'll keep you informed further as we investigate. Lieutenant Doole out.
TO_Mitchell:
XO: I might be able to boost LRS a few hundred meters by doing some tweaking to them here now
MO_Ens_Croft:
@::Waits for the FCO to finish talking before repeating herself::
CEO_O`Guinn:
::moves through the computer back to TR1 looks down spotting Pat::
OPS_Soper:
TO:  Verifying..  ::hits a few dials::
SO_Silver:
XO:  The nearby planet...  there used to be about 70 billion people there.
FCO_MJDoole:
CTO: Now, what was that you said?
XO_Savar:
::Closes the comm channel, nods to the TO and OPS officers, and turns towards the SO:: SO: Used to be?
SO_Silver:
::Relays the information to the CSO::
CTO_Jarot:
@::continues::  FCO: It's Federation and... ::hesitates to name it:: Borg weapon signatures as well, Sir...  ::keeps his phaser in his sweaty hand, sensing ahead as far as he's able to::
MO_Ens_Croft:
@CSO: just residue
OPS_Soper:
TO:  Confirmed.
EO_Pat:
EngTeam: Run a level 3 diagnostic on the entire transporter system in this room.
SO_Silver:
XO:  Yes sir.  I am not reading any life forms there now.
FCO_MJDoole:
CTO: Borg?
Computer:
::Activates red alert::
Engineering Technician:
EO: Aye ma'am.
TO_Mitchell:
:: brings all weapons systems online but leaves shields down for now :: 
OPS_Soper:
::fiddles with sensor controls::
FCO_MJDoole:
::eyes light with an angry fire::
CTO_Jarot:
@FCO: Suggest we reconvene for tactical assessment, Sir..  we don't know if they're still here... and we're not equipped to take them on like this...
XO_Savar:
::Sees the red lights come on:: SO: Are you still reading planetary establishments?  Communities?  Just no life signs?
CSO_Singh:
@*SO*:  See what more you can dig up.  For example, when were they last heard from or any other information about them?
TO_Mitchell:
XO: I've left the shields down just in case we need to transport 
CO_Harm:
*XO*: We have visitors, standard Borg protocols
CTO_Jarot:
@::nods::  FCO: Yes, it's confirmed...Borg weapon signatures...
Engineering Technician:
::keys the commands for a level 3 diagnostic stands watching the results::
SO_Silver:
XO:  One moment sir.
SO_Silver:
*CSO*:  Yes ma'am
OPS_Soper:
::face pales:: XO:  Sir!   It's the BORG!  3 light years and closing fast!
CEO_O`Guinn:
::wonders what I might be over looking::
FCO_MJDoole:
@CTO: Agreed. ::calls CSO and MO over::
XO_Savar:
Computer: Thank you, Computer.  TO: Belay that.  Raise shields.  Set up a coordination program with the operations officer to minimize the shield dropping to recall the away team.
MO_Ens_Croft:
@::Continues to look around, still scanning with her tricorder::
TO_Mitchell:
XO: I can't hold out on the shields long. 
OPS_Soper:
::begins to route power to shields weapons and transporters::
SO_Silver:
XO/*CS*:  Everything is there, just no life.
TO_Mitchell:
XO: aye sir! raises shields :: 
CTO_Jarot:
@::nods at the FCO::  All: Follow the FCO....I'll cover our retreat.. ::takes his phaser and sweepes the area::
CSO_Singh:
@MO:  This is not good.  Why would the station be dead as well as an entire world?
TO_Mitchell:
XO: shields up rotating frequency in both the upper and lower EM ranges
FCO_MJDoole:
@::sensing incoming vessel:: ::Anger very apparent in voice:: NO! I will NOT allow them to do this again!
CSO_Singh:
@::Tugs at her collar::  All:  I don't know about you, but it seems too warm for me here.
OPS_Soper:
::coordinates with TO's console::  TO:  Transporter control is yours.  ::mutters prayers in his native Amerindian::
MO_Ens_Croft:
@::Shruges:: CSO: not good at all
TO_Mitchell:
OPS: got it.. 
CSO_Singh:
@::Looks at the FCO::  FCO:  Sir?
MO_Ens_Croft:
@FCO: sir...the residue seems to be leading to a room
OPS_Soper:
::nervously shifting in his chair::
CEO_O`Guinn:
::moves through the computer to ME::
FCO_MJDoole:
@COM: XO: Sir, Disengage for the station and beams us back, we got Borg all over the place: AT: Let's go.
TO_Mitchell:
OPS: calm down. just do as we learned in the drills. 
CTO_Jarot:
@::grumbles::  All: Get moving !
CO_Harm:
*CEO* We have an incoming Borg vessel.
XO_Savar:
*Away Team*: Away Team, we're reading Borg ship incoming.  Return to the ship.
OPS_Soper:
XO:  Sir, I recommend we beam the away team back now, or we may lose them another way...
SO_Silver:
XO:  Sir, the Borg ship is verified, but there are none on the planet.
CTO_Jarot:
@::almost pushes them back to the airlock as he observes the surroundings::
XO_Savar:
OPS: Is the transporter completely operational again after the incident with the CO and CEO?
OPS_Soper:
XO:  All power is available for reallocation to your requirements.  ::now sweating visibly::
CSO_Singh:
@::Looks to the FCO::  FCO:  Borg?  I wonder...
CEO_O`Guinn:
*CO*: Great just what we be needing sir.
CSO_Singh:
@::Opens one of the rooms::

ACTION:  The Docking ring closes off before the AT can get through.

TO_Mitchell:
XO: i'm ready on the transporters. I'd suggest we get outta here now. 
OPS_Soper:
XO:  Sir, I faced the BORG on the Saratoga at Wolf 359.  We need to arm agains a boarding party.  ::begins to go to the bridge weapons locker::
FCO_MJDoole:
::tosses the CTO onto his back, and scoops up the CTO and MO, one in each arm , and heads for the airlock the just came through::
CSO_Singh:
@::Wrinkles her nose at the odor as she peers in::  MO:  Our Borg and bio signatures.
XO_Savar:
::Realizes everything hinges on timing right now::
FCO_MJDoole:
@::stops as they miss the airlock::
MO_Ens_Croft:
@::starts to feel nervous:: FCO: i guess we are stuck here...?
EO_Pat:
::orders the engineer team to cancel the diagnostic runs out of the TR and enter the turbo lift:: Computer: Deck 24.
TO_Mitchell:
XO: may make a prudent suggestion.. 
OPS_Soper:
::begins to break out Heavy Phaser rifles and hand weapons::
XO_Savar:
TO: Go ahead.
CTO_Jarot:
@::frees himself again::  FCO: Thanks !  CSO: Anything on your sensors, Harmony ?
OPS_Soper:
::carries the weaponry around the bridge and passes it out::
FCO_MJDoole:
@COM: XO: Now would be a good time.
XO_Savar:
DutyFCO: Disengage us from the station.  Take us far enough away to reclose our shields down to just enclose the ship.
CO_Harm:
::Begins scanning the computer databanks on Borg, and appropriate protocols to survive an encounter::
EO_Pat:
::enters ME moving to the main console taps to pull up the ship diagrams::
CSO_Singh:
@::Looks at the FCO then back at Alex::  CTO:  The biosigns on the ship appear to be dead borg, but without further searching, I don't know.
TO_Mitchell:
:: grabs one from the ops :: XO: we break off and warp out while doing a near warp transport
FCO_MJDoole:
@CSO: Well, I'm not willing to risk your safety to find out.
TO_Mitchell:
XO: even though I know the transporters are yet untested. I think we have no choice.
CTO_Jarot:
@::nods::  CSO: But they always come back for their dead and wounded...we're in an ackward situation here...  anyway we can mask our signatures in case we won't get off in time ?

ACTION:  From behind the AT...  some thudding footsteps can be heard.

MO_Ens_Croft:
@CTO: ...the residues seem to be leading to room as well
CSO_Singh:
@FCO:  Sir, we don't seem to be going any where.  I don't suppose this station has a viable shuttle we can borrow.
XO_Savar:
TO: I agree that we have no choice.  OPS: Coordinate with the TO on the shields for beaming the away team back.  *Away Team*: We're beaming you back now.
OPS_Soper:
::hands the XO a phaser rifle and a sidearm::  XO:  I recommend you tell the rest of the crew and let them make preparations, sir.  Respectfully.
OPS_Soper:
XO:  He already has transporter control.
CSO_Singh:
@CTO:  Other then not being hostile, they might leave us alone... ::Looks uncertain.::
FCO_MJDoole:
@::puts the CTO, CSO, and MO behind him. ALL: Stay behind me.
CTO_Jarot:
@::glances at the door::  MO: Your theories ?
CEO_O`Guinn:
::monitors the computer and power relays from ME:: *CO*: Sir I am around Main Engineering at the moment I will monitor the situation from down here.
CSO_Singh:
@::Looks at the CTO and MO, then makes sure she is behind the FCO::
TO_Mitchell:
:: looks around :: okay here we go folks. XO: if you would do the honors of getting us into warp.
CO_Harm:
*CEO* Understood
XO_Savar:
*Shipwide*: All hands to battle stations.  Prepare to possibly engage a Borg vessel.  All appropriate precautions should be taken.
MO_Ens_Croft:
@CTO: I don’t have one really, just that’s were it leads, maybe they were ki.. I don't know
OPS_Soper:
::sits back down and sets up all torpedo inventories for battle::

ACTION:  The Borg ship is now within visual range.

TO_Mitchell:
:: taps the buttons to prepare for near warp transport :: *AT* We're going to be a near warp transport. hang on to your hats
CTO_Jarot:
@CSO: Uhmm, well...we're among their dead... we have the same weapons signatures as well as standard life signs...  I'm guessing they won't be pleased.....  ::steps beside the FCO to cover the range as well::
CSO_Singh:
@FCO:  If we can't get through, there are two possibilities, search for a shuttle and go the long route, or we could go to the stations center and see if we can't help another way... not to mention, maybe discover why the Borg here are dead.  I am going to take a leap and guess the planet is full of dead Borg as well.
OPS_Soper:
TO:  All torpedo inventories unlocked and available.
MO_Ens_Croft:
@::Clings to her med kit::
TO_Mitchell:
:: taps the buttons puts the Borg ship on screen :: 
XO_Savar:
TO/OPS: Beam the team back now.
TO_Mitchell:

CSO_Singh:
@::Grabs the MO's hand::  MO:  Quick, lets get some samples.
OPS_Soper:
XO:  Transport in progress...
EO_Pat:
::watches the power fluctuations with the transport systems::
XO_Savar:
DutyFCO: Keep us out of the Borg's weapons range.
TO_Mitchell:
XO: we might wanna hit the warp drive now.

ACTION:  Transport Goes off line.

TO_Mitchell:
XO: transporters offline.. :: grumbles :: 
OPS_Soper:
XO:  Transporters offline...
MO_Ens_Croft:
@CSO: are you crazy? we can't go back there..
TO_Mitchell:
OPS: acknowledged.
CO_Harm:
::Begins active scans of the Borg Vessel looking for any sign of weakness::
CTO_Jarot:
@CSO / MO: We need to stay together !  ::raised voice with a firm order like comment in it::
OPS_Soper:
::reinitiallizes transporter circuitry on the bridge::  XO: Attempting to compensate...
CSO_Singh:
@MO:  Yes, I am... standing here waiting when there might be an answer elsewhere.  ::Dashes back to the small room they had left earlier.::
TO_Mitchell:
OPS: tell me when your ready.. 
XO_Savar:
*Away Team*: Away Team, transporters inoperative... unable to beam you back.  Take cover, and we will attempt to recover you as soon as possible.  TO: Load all weapons systems.  Prepare to possibly engage.  OPS: I know this has never worked before, but I bet they already know we're here... hail the Borg ship.
OPS_Soper:
TO:  Ready!  Drop Shields...now!
MO_Ens_Croft:
@CTO: yes sir, ::stays beside the CTO::
SO_Silver:
::Finding nothing of help, continues gathering data.::
TO_Mitchell:
XO: phaser and torpedoes armed and ready.
OPS_Soper:
::initiates transport again::
CEO_O`Guinn:
Self: Great just what we be needing yet again. ::moves up through the computer to TR1::
MO_Ens_Croft:
@CTO: Should we go after her?
OPS_Soper:
XO:  ::spins::  Sir?  ... Aye, Commander.  ::opens a channel::
CSO_Singh:
@::Reaching over the dead body, takes a couple of samples.::
CO_Harm:
::Feels the tingle os the ships shields, seems familiar like when the hairs on the back of his neck used to stand on end before a battle::
OPS_Soper:
XO:  Channel open...
EO_Pat:
::taps on console pulling up transporter power grids::
CTO_Jarot:
@::grumbles::  MO: Stay here and look afer the FCO, I'm going after our CSO... ::quickly runs to the CSO, a bit irritated about this whole situation::
CSO_Singh:
@::Hearing an odd thought in her mind, reaches inside, herself cringing, to grab the transponder.::
OPS_Soper:
::initiates emergency transport thru cargo transporters::
CEO_O`Guinn:
::moves through the computer relays looking for possible problems::
XO_Savar:
COM: Borg: Borg vessel, stand down your weapons and retreat.  The Federation is in control of weaponry superior to the Borg's.
CSO_Singh:
@::Pocketing it, wipes her hand off on a peice of remnant uniform.::
MO_Ens_Croft:
@::Stands beside the FCO and waits for the others to return::

Borg1:
COM: Luna:  We are the Borg you distinctiveness will be added to our own resistance is futile.
TO_Mitchell:
:: readies his fingers to fire.
OPS_Soper:
::knows this was a bad idea and vows silently not to be taken alive::
CTO_Jarot:
@::arrives at the CSO's position::  CSO: Harmony, I really think there are better, more convenient times to collect reside, not by yourself and in a hostile situation... it's suicide... !

ACTION:   There is something different with these Borg.  The Cohesiveness is not there.  They are one, but not.

FCO_MJDoole:
@ALL: Let's see if there's another way out.
CSO_Singh:
@::Standing::  CTO: Not if it is a possible answer elsewhere.
MO_Ens_Croft:
@FCO: good idea:: Follows behind the FCO::
XO_Savar:
DutyFCO: Perform a strafing run against the cube... as fast as possible.  One pass, then keep us out of range again.  TO: Fire all weapons at will when we are within range.
FCO_MJDoole:
@CSO: Don't wander off by yourself again, please. 
CTO_Jarot:
@CSO: I could care less about answers, my top priority is the safety of this away team...  ::frowns, then turning to the FCO::  FCO: Aye, Sir...
CSO_Singh:
@FCO:  I would have been right back... ::Eyes the CTO::  What now sir?
XO_Savar:
::Sits in his chair, waiting for the results from his unorthodox orders::
OPS_Soper:
::sets rotating frequencies to the shields and phasers::
FCO_MJDoole:
@CSO: Harmony, I can't take that chance. I know what these things are capable of.
XO_Savar:
OPS: Send out a hail to any vessels in the area.  Send them the data we have on the vessel, and request backup or assistance.

ACTION:  A group of Borg file past the AT.  They look at the group with recognition.  One man particularity looks at the FCO.

SO_Silver:
::Fills the CSO in on the current status of things.::
OPS_Soper:
TO:  I have set the shields and weapons to rotating frequencies...but It's a few shots at best.  make them count...

@FCO: That's the theory all right and by the looks of it, it still stands.. ::pauses::  for now..  ::moves slowly forward::  FCO: With your permission I'll take the lead and sense ahead...

ACTION:  Its becoming more evident as both crews look at the Borg.  These Borg have been severed from the collective.  They have their own code of conduct in place.

MO_Ens_Croft:
@::continues to shake, not really sure what to do::
XO_Savar:
OPS: Did we get any readings of helpful nature as we passed the Borg cube?
OPS_Soper:
XO:  Sir, this is strange...they are firing and towing...but there is no damage.  We should be bits of flotsam by now.
CSO_Singh:
@::Looks at Croft::  MO:  We can do this.  ::Hands her the sample::  See if this tells us anything.
CO_Harm:
*XO*: These Borg do not seem to be conforming to the known records of there behavior.
Borg1:
COM: Luna:  I am Toran, Leader of this collective.  Stand down your ship and we will not kill you.
OPS_Soper:
::scans the Borg Vessel::  
FCO_MJDoole:
CTO: Permission granted. The three of you go. This particular Borg interests me for some reason.
MO_Ens_Croft:
@::Takes the samples and gets out her medical tridorder and runs one of the samples through::
SO_Silver:
::Mouths::  Stand down your ship?  Not, you will be assimilated?
XO_Savar:
COM: Borg: Toran, state your intentions, and I will consider your words.
OPS_Soper:
XO:  Sir...this is most unprecedented...
CSO_Singh:
@::Grabing the MO's arm, hurries to catch up to the CTO.::
Borg1:
COM: Luna:  My intentions is to assimilate you to our collective.
CTO_Jarot:
@::blinks::  FCO: Sir, it would be prudent if you came with us...  standard protocol, Sir....
SO_Silver:
::mutters::  Oh, now that is more like it.
CEO_O`Guinn:
*CO*: Captain what be going on?
XO_Savar:
::Quietly to the DutyFCO:: DutyFCO: Keep us moving.  Evasive maneuvers as necessary.
XO_Savar:
COM: Borg: Toran, assimilation is worse than death.  We will not comply.
FCO_MJDoole:
@CTO: Follow my orders Alec. I'll be right behind you.
CSO_Singh:
@::Hurries past Alec and onto the computer room.::
CO_Harm:
*CEO* Unknown, this ship is not following any of the established patterns I can find in the databanks for Borg behavior.
OPS_Soper:
XO:  That's the Borg we know.  ::continues to scan and attempts to hack into the mainframe of the Borg vessel through back channels::
DutyFCO-Ahab:
::Executes pattern omega three::
MO_Ens_Croft:
@::Follows behind everyone, still looking down at her tricorder:::
CTO_Jarot:
@::nods::  FCO: Aye, Sir..  ::moves ahead, keep his eye on his followers as he scans ahead::
CEO_O`Guinn:
*CO*: Understood sir.
MO_Ens_Croft:
@CSO: I'm not getting anything from these smaples. there normal as far as i can tell
CSO_Singh:
@::Slips into the computer room to gather the data chips asked.::

ACTION:  As the AT moves the environment becomes warmer and warmer.

CEO_O`Guinn:
::mutters to self about not being able to do the physical work that needs to be done::
CO_Harm:
*CEO* I need your help, the next time we transmit to the Borg cube I want to try an piggyback to the Borg vessel.
CSO_Singh:
@MO:  Well, it was worth a try.  Maybe we can find something out later.
OPS_Soper:
XO: Working on it...  ::mutters computer commands to himself as he inputs::

ACTION:  The Cmdr Soper manages to infiltrate the Borg computer, but he hasn't gotten far as yet.

MO_Ens_Croft:
@::Adjusts the collar of her uniform as it starts to get hotter::
CEO_O`Guinn:
*CO*: Aye sir where are ya located?
CTO_Jarot:
@:.grumbles as he catches up with the CSO again but holds his breath as he observes the area::
OPS_Soper:
XO:  Sir, I'm in their computer, but only on the outside.  ::carefully probes for vulnerabilities::
CO_Harm:
*CEO* I think we are different in that sense, I have no sense of location other then being the ship as it were.
FCO_MJDoole:
@:;slowly begins to walk backward to computer room, not unlocking eyes with that Borg drone::
CSO_Singh:
@::Begins the computer run, glancing quickly through them as they begin, then pause as one of the sensors pick up on another area::  CTO/MO:  There are more Borg on the station.
CTO_Jarot:
@CSO: Have you found anything yet ?  ::looks around::  what are we looking for anyways... you said something about database information...?
XO_Savar:
OPS: Rather unorthodox.  If the Borg detect the connection and use it to infiltrate our computer, I hope you will be able to stop them.
XO_Savar:
::Waiting for a response from Toran::
CTO_Jarot:
@CSO: Obviously...they're not here to do half-work.... they're here for the clean sweep....
CEO_O`Guinn:
*CO*: Aye sir are the sensor arrays active? I'm not getting any details from this aspect.
OPS_Soper:
XO:  We simply cut the connection.  There is nothing useful here...it's all a jumble...
Borg1:
COM: XO:  Then you will die.
FCO_MJDoole:
@::reaches the Computer Room, but doesn't enter.::
CO_Harm:
::Overhears the conversation with OPS and the XO, and tries to assist with the infiltration::
OPS_Soper:
::finds an open portal and carefully penetrates deeper into the subsystems::
FCO_MJDoole:
@::blocking door to computer room, so that the Borg cannot enter::
CSO_Singh:
@ ::pockets the last of the data::  FCO:  There are more Borg on the station.  ::Points to a screen::
CO_Harm:
*CEO* Yes, the arrays to me seem just like my eyes and ears, this could get addicting, if I didn't have a wife to think about.

ACTION:  The Borg nearest the FCO shoots out his arms and tendrils escape from the knuckles.  He is aiming for the FCO's neck.

FCO_MJDoole:
@~~~~CTO: How the computer data coming?~~~~
XO_Savar:
TO: Hopefully, you've reloaded all the weapons systems.  OPS: Prepare a shuttlecraft for launch... we may need to draw the Borg cube away from the station, and have a shuttlecraft pick the away team up for later rendezvous.  Perhaps we could launch the shuttle in debris or unpowered up so that the Borg ignore it?
FCO_MJDoole:
@::with quick reflexes, sidesteps the tendrils, grabs them and yanks the Borg drone off its feet::
CEO_O`Guinn:
*CO*: Understood sir.... I don't know how safe it will be to try this though sir.
OPS_Soper:
XO:  Aye, sir...  ::notifies the flight deck to prepare a shuttle, priority one::
CTO_Jarot:
@~~~~FCO: Harmony is making her way through the computer system now... it seems we got quite a Borg family aboard...~~~~

ACTION:  The Borg is lifted into the air.

OPS_Soper:
XO:  Sir, I've gotten something...I hope it's useful...
MO_Ens_Croft:
@::Backs up and away from the FCO and leans up against the wall::
XO_Savar:
OPS: What is it, Commander?
CO_Harm:
*CEO* Ops has a connection, I am going to try and use it to breach there computer.  ::Closes his eyes and pushes his way in::
CSO_Singh:
@::Steps sideways, looking for another exit from the room.::

ACTION:  Two Borg turn on the MO.  One grabs her as the other assimilates her.

FCO_MJDoole:
@:: as the Borg drone flies through the air towards MJ, a very large fist comes flying forward, smashing the Borg in the face::
OPS_Soper:
XO:  Sir, this group of Borg have been severed from the collective at some point.  They have kept the principles of the collective, but on their own terms, it would seem.
XO_Savar:
OPS: How can we use this to our advantage?
CSO_Singh:
@:: Seeing she is too late for the doctor, she uses her height and ducks between the others, leaving the room.::
FCO_MJDoole:
@:: wirls on his heels, snatching the Borg away from the MO, throwing one in each direction::
MO_Ens_Croft:
@::Screams as she is caught, and they start to assimilate her::
CTO_Jarot:
@::seeing the MO being assimilated he draws his phaser and fires at the Borg::   Self: Darn the Borg..  ::moves away::  All: We need to move... NOW !
OPS_Soper:
XO:  Working the problem, sir...what if we could modify this and modify those principles a bit in their computer?  It's worth a try...
CO_Harm:
::Opens his eyes, and finds himself looking at the Luna, not at the Borg Cube as he was befor::
CSO_Singh:
@::Dodges her way past the few in the hallway and heads for a cleared area.::
OPS_Soper:
::begins to alter the mission statement of the Borg collective in code::

ACTION:  The CO's consciousness begins slipping out of the Luna Computer.

CSO_Singh:
@::Turning for the others, aims her phaser, one shot, she had only one shot::
FCO_MJDoole:
@::grabs the CTO and CSO up, and plows through the Borg drones, sending them flying everywhere:: CTO/CSO: Hang on!
CO_Harm:
::Tries to focus, these new sensors are much different then those he has become used to::
XO_Savar:
SO: Status of the Borg cube?
CEO_O`Guinn:
::moves to the sensors on the bridge::
MO_Ens_Croft:
@::Lays on the ground staring at the CSO::
FCO_MJDoole:
::sets them down in a spot where they can turn and fire phasers at the drones::
CTO_Jarot:
@::nods::  FCO: Aye, aye !  ::runs as fast his legs can carry him as they make their way through the station::

ACTION:  The same drone that was staring at Doole earlier is back, but he has someone with him.  They watch the FCO closely..

CO_Harm:
::Attempts to power down the weapons array::
SM_Arlene:
ACTION:  The Borg code slowly gets rewritten.
CSO_Singh:
@::Seeing the MO, closes her eyes and fires, just as the FCO grabs her::
SM_Arlene:
ACTION:  The Borg begin to fight against the intrusion of the CO.
CEO_O`Guinn:
::uses the sensor array to monitor the CO:: Self: Capn' I hope ya know what ya be doin.

ACTION:  The CSO misses the MO.

CO_Harm:
::Strains himself against the Borg computer, this computer has a much stronger presence then that of the Luna::
OPS_Soper:
XO:  Sir, I think I'm getting something done...I have no idea about the effects, but I have tried to remove the more hostile bits of their code and replace it with the Federation’s.
FCO_MJDoole:
@::turns and focuses on the two Borg, protecting the CTO/CSO with his large frame.
CO_Harm:
*Borg Computer* Resistance is futile, you will be assimilated.
CSO_Singh:
@::As the FCO puts her down, she turns and continues away from the Borg, heading for the command center.::
MO_Ens_Croft:
@::Sits up slowly and looks at the CSO again::

ACTION:  The Borg computer begins to shut done around the CO.

OPS_Soper:
::sends in a trojan horse back door and closes the link::
FCO_MJDoole:
::sensing something familiar about these two specific Borg Drones::
OPS_Soper:
XO: We should be able to activate this remotely on this EM band.
CTO_Jarot:
@::moves along, wondering what will happen::  Self. Darn it !
CO_Harm:
::Begins looking for the door, wondering what he has gotten himself into::
