1. The Apache has already been dispatched to the Viradona system border to await the arrival of the Ganymede.
2. The Ganymede must be flight ready and all repairs made in order to rendezvous with the Apache at the Viradona system border by 21:05 hours Stardate 10103.20. No delay will be tolerated
3. It is imperative that strict First Contact protocols be maintained
4. Starfleet and indeed the Federation Council is curious to know how this race has amassed the type of knowledge about us, that it can be so specific in its unusual request; and yet we know nothing about them.

Host GCO_Taylor says:
GCNS: Indeed? My wishes for his health, Commander.

GOPS_Serok says:
GCO: At this time Sir, nothing. I am trying again.
ACSO_Storal says:
*ASO*: Keep scanning there has to be something there that was missed... try a full spectrum scan.

AOPS_Lowell says:
ACO: Shall I hail the Ossara ship?
ACIV_Xavier says:
AMO: Needed to make a new batch of supplements for myself.
GXO_Silek says:
:: Nods:: GCO: Aye Sir...:: gets a tricorder:: GCO: I'll attempt to locate the problem from here while I contact Engineering Sir.
Host ACO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
AOPS: Monitor the Ossarra vessel for now. And hail the Ganymede once they are within range.
OCO_Rhianok says:
:: Begins taking readings from HX-20541::
GOPS_Serok says:
:: Send information to TAC station::
Host GCO_Taylor says:
GOPS: Indeed. Run a search in the computer to see what it might be similar to.
Host Jafo says:
ACTION: Scans of the Ossarra ship begin to reveal greater detail. It is a long, cylindrical, vessel of a dark muted gray that seems to blend into the fabric of space and give it a camouflaged appearance. Along its length lie a series of hundreds of small pods that appear to be smaller vessels, like shuttles, attached the greater whole.
GCNS_Ashworth says:
:: Sees her captain shake his head:: GCO: I guess it's always something isn't it Sir?
ACSO_Storal says:
*ACO*: Forward you findings to Sickbay and tactical. I'm sure they could use the data.

Host GCO_Taylor says:

GOPS_Serok says:
Comm: Apache: USS Apache, this is the Ganymede, we read you.
OCO_Rhianok says:
<#2>:: Enters bridge and stands silently::
GOPS_Serok says:

GOPS_Serok says:
COMM: Apache: Acknowledged. GCO: Captain, it is Captain Turnbull.
Host Pat_O says:
Action: The Ganymede and Apache rendezvous on schedule
Host ACO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
AOPS: Good Lieutenant.
AOPS_Lowell says:
:: Watches as the Ganymede pulls abreast of the Apache::
AXO_Linard says:

GCO: Sir, do you want me to monitor the Ossara vessel?
AMO_Sarel says:
:: Accesses the data and begins to study it::
ACIV_Xavier says:
AMO: I'm all done here, just holler if you need any help.
Host ACO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
COM: GCO: Yes, he's doing quite well; I know he's hoping that the two of you can get together again before we have to go our separate ways again.
AOPS_Lowell says:
AXO: Sir, the life forms are reading as a familiar signature... no confirmation on what type....
GOPS_Serok says:

GOPS_Serok says:
GCO: Captain, the life form reading register:: eyes bug:: Borg Sir! :: As her head snaps up::
AOPS_Lowell says:
*AStrOps* Sir, We have made contact and Rendezvous with the Ganymede... your presence is requested on the bridge
AOPS_Lowell says:
AXO: Sir there are BORG signatures on the vessel!
Host GCO_Taylor says:
GOPS: At ease, Commander! Make sure!
GXO_Silek says:
:: Scans the translator with the tricorder::
ACTO_Cha`Dak says:
AXO: Sir, my scans of the Ossara vessel concur with those of Lt. Powell’s.
GOPS_Serok says:
GCO: Aye Sir.
GFCO_Harlok says:
:: Looks at Suvok in horror:: Self: Borg?
ACSO_Storal says:
AXO: Confirmed Sir.. there are Borg signatures.
AXO_Linard says:
:: Feels a chill go up her spine and rises to her feet:: AOPS: Borg? Have they detected us?
ACIV_Xavier says:
:: Enters the bridge:: Aloud: Borg???
Host GCO_Taylor says:
COMM: ACO: We are reading Borg here, Captain! What do you make of this?
GXO_Silek says:
:: Concentrates on his work on the translator::
GOPS_Serok says:

OCO_Rhianok says:
:: Initiates a scan of the federation vassals::
ACIV_Xavier says:

Host GCO_Taylor says:
GTO: Ready on the shields, but keep them down. Stand by the weapons but keep them cold. 
ACTO_Cha`Dak says:
AXO: Sir, we are being scanned by the Ossara vessel!
AXO_Linard says:
AOPS: Then keep on it Mr. Lowell..... FCO: Keep our distance....
GFCO_Harlok says:
:: Tries to control his trembling hands while watching his nav sensor data::
GTO_Vestabo says:
GCO: Aye sir.

GFCO: Lay in evasives but wait for my order.
GCNS_Ashworth says:
:: Hears that Borg signatures have been discovered and she thinks "Not again"::
ACSO_Storal says:
:: Cracks his neck:: Self: Time to get down to business.
AOPS_Lowell says:
AXO: Aye, sir
Host ACO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
COM: GCO: Our Science officer has confirmed that. I think we may have more going on here that the desire to purchase a planet.
GOPS_Serok says:
GCO: Sir, there is another life form aboard as well.
Host GCO_Taylor says:
GOPS: What is the status of our Translator repair?
GTO_Vestabo says:
:: Readies the shields and has weapons on stand by:: GCO: Standing by sir.
GFCO_Harlok says:
GCO: Aye s-Sir! :: Enters in Evasive patterns to coincide with the Apache for maximum defense::
Host GCO_Taylor says:
GOPS: What can you tell me in a nutshell about the second species?
GXO_Silek says:
:: Raises his head from the panel:: GCO: Sir.. Since they are not assimilating us.. Logic dictates that these Borg may not be part of the collective.
GOPS_Serok says:
GCO: Checking Sir. 
Host ACO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
AOPS: Standby Lieutenant.
OCO_Rhianok says:
COM: Federation vassals: We are the Ossarra
AOPS_Lowell says:
ACO/XO: We have a second bio-signature aboard.. They appear to be Ossara... by the thousands...
Host GCO_Taylor says:
GXO: I concur, but we will remain wary.
Host ACO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
ACSO: Are you reading any other lifeforms, Commander?
GXO_Silek says:
~~~ GOPS: The circuits are still inoperative.~~~
ACTO_Cha`Dak says:
:: Looks up at the sound of the Ossara::
Host GCO_Taylor says:
COMM: ACO: We have a theory that these Borg may not be a part of the collective since they are not attempting assimilation.
GXO_Silek says:
:: Nods:: GCO: Yes Sir...:: returns to the repairs::
ACSO_Storal says:
ACO: Just those that Mr. Lowell mentioned. Ossarra and Borg,
GOPS_Serok says:
GCO: Sir, the circuits are still inoperative. The second lifeform appears to be Ossara. In large quantities.
Host ACO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
ACSO: Understood, Commander.
OCO_Rhianok says:
Com: Federation vassals: You must reply
GFCO_Harlok says:
:: Arcs the Ganymede into evasive pattern Delta queuing off the Apache's trajectory::

GCO: Aye sir.
ACTO_Cha`Dak says:
AXO: Sir, should we respond to the Ossara?
Host ACO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
COMM: GCO: Agreed Captain, but I think we must remain alert here.
ACSO_Storal says:
ACO: Sir??
Host GCO_Taylor says:
GOPS: Acknowledged. Can you get any translator at all? Try cross wiring a unit from a shuttle.
AOPS_Lowell says:
ACO: Captain all we are doing is speculating here... we can only learn so much from our scanners...
GTO_Vestabo says:
:: Raises the anti-beaming field:: GCO: anti-beam shield raised, shield's and weapon's standing by.
AXO_Linard says:

ACIV_Xavier says:
ACTO: Need any help sir?
AXO_Linard says:

ACTO_Cha`Dak says:
ACIV: You could man TAC2 for me, if you would like.
Host ACO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
AOPS: Thank you, Lieutenant. Open a frequency.

Host Septimum says:
ACO: Thank you... looks at furniture and decor:: ACO: is this a body receptacle? A Chair?
Host Treo says:
GCNS: I assure you, we have much to offer in its exchange. Our people have been collecting the necessary funds for some time.
GFCO_Harlok says:
:: Leans over to GOPS:: GOPS: Sir... can you make it so we can hear what's going on in the conference room?
GCNS_Ashworth says:
Treo: I see
Host GCO_Taylor says:
Treo: And what is V'halla? I am greatly interested to hear about it.
