::pays no mind to incoming comm.::

Host The_Collective says:
ACTION: Polaron based weaponry lashes out at the Cube. It dances along their shields with blue light streaks.

Four_of_Nine says:
::stops puzzled by the unexpected response::

Seven_of_Nine says:
::hears the message, but doesn't quite understand it::

Host The_Collective says:
ACTION: The ship maneuvers around the Cube, firing continuously.

Four_of_Nine says:
::analyzes the Polaron energy weapon::

Host One_of_Nine says:
~~~ 4 of 9: Continue your task. ~~~

Eight_of_Nine says:
::Locks a tractor beam onto the vessel::

Host The_Collective says:
ACTION: Three peculiar discs eject from the vessel, and start moving around it in various orbits.

Seven_of_Nine says:
::prepares to assimilate those who would free us from this hell::

Six_of_Nine says:
::returns to her duties with the assault teams::

Host Two_of_Nine says:
::reverts the shield polarization to avoid the charged particles being fired at the cube::

Three_of_Nine says:
::Back at the medical station, reaches for the comm. badge on Fives chest.::

Four_of_Nine says:
::directs the scanners at the various discs one by one::

Eight_of_Nine says:
::Fires phasers at the discs::

Host Two_of_Nine says:
::watches intently at this tactic, cataloguing it for future engagements.. doesn't find any similar tactics in the Collective database::

Host One_of_Nine says:
::prepares for the beam over order::

Host The_Collective says:
ACTION: The discs absorb the weapons fire from the Cube, and resend the blasts through a newly appearing cannon.

Host Two_of_Nine says:
~~~bringing tractor beams to bear on the discs would reduce their threat quotient by 60%~~~

Host The_Collective says:
ACTION: The Cube shakes violently.

Four_of_Nine says:
::abandons adjustments for use against known Species 3128 technology and treats vessel as new contact::

Host Two_of_Nine says:
::shakes with the cube::

Seven_of_Nine says:
::falls over as the cube shakes::

Host One_of_Nine says:
::is knocked out of balance as the vessel shifts underneath him ... continues to wait for the beam over order::

Three_of_Nine says:
::Does not show reluctance and begins to follow orders to revive 5 of nine.::

Host Two_of_Nine says:
::analyzes new data:: ~~~fire should not be directed at the discs. Fire on the main ship~~~

Eight_of_Nine says:
::Adjusts shields to absorb the blasts from the discs and locks tractor beams onto them::

Four_of_Nine says:
::scans the discs cannon::

Seven_of_Nine says:
~~~Three: We've fallen, and we can't get up!~~~

Host The_Collective says:
ACTION: The tractors manage to lock onto one of the discs, but the cannon lets loose with a blast at the tractor emitter of the Cube, and it is damaged. The beam cuts loose.

Host Two_of_Nine says:
~~~repair teams to tractor assembly 45-k~~~

Host One_of_Nine says:
~~~ 7 of 9: Begin repairs. ~~~

Eight_of_Nine says:
~~~Tractor beam failure.  Attempting to compensate~~~

Host The_Collective says:
ACTION: Five of Nine is soon revived from death by the specially created nano-probes injected into him by Three of Nine.

Host One_of_Nine says:
::continues to wait for the beam over order::

Three_of_Nine says:
::Hears seven and sends a team.::

Four_of_Nine says:
::analyzes energy dissipation around area of destroyed tractor emitter 83::

Seven_of_Nine says:
~~~One: Malfunction.  This drone has fallen and damaged motor functions.~~~

Host Two_of_Nine says:
::the new data start to take new form as he notes a patter to the discs:: ~~~Engage tractor beam w with reversed polarity and send the discs away from the cube~~~

Three_of_Nine says:
::Looks at five of nine, quietly waiting.::

Host The_Collective says:
ACTION: Suddenly, the vessel lets loose with a massive volley at the Cube's port side ... the shields go down, and it launches a missile which impacts the hull.

Four_of_Nine says:
::redirects scans back to target vessel and attempts to obtain shield frequency::

Host One_of_Nine says:
::turns and starts heading towards 7 of 9's position::

Host Two_of_Nine says:
::sparks fly through his console as the power core fluctuates::

Four_of_Nine says:
::sends other Counter Measure drones to area of impact::

Eight_of_Nine says:
~~~Data received.  Adjusting tractor beam and reversing polarity~~~

Host The_Collective says:
ACTION: The missile does not explode upon impact, but imbeds itself within the hull ... suddenly, hundreds of thousands of nanites crawl out of the missile, and move throughout the cube.

Host The_Collective says:
ACTION: The vessel maneuvers away from the Cube as the nanites begin to do their work.

Three_of_Nine says:
::Notes that the body is alive, but there is nothing responding on the higher intellect.::

Host One_of_Nine says:
::walks through a corridor that is shaking fairly violently, sparks flying everywhere, shakes his foot as nanites crawl all over it::

Eight_of_Nine says:
~~~INTRUDER ALERT, INTRUDER ALERT.  Shield system failure~~~

Four_of_Nine says:
::receives updated information from Counter Measure Drones on Nanite infestation::

Host Two_of_Nine says:
::looks curiously at the attack method of this contact, and raises his ocular implant to take a closer look at the data coming in::

Seven_of_Nine says:
~~~All Drones: Alert!  Alert!  I'm detecting rogue nanoprobes!~~~

Host The_Collective says:
ACTION: The nanites make their way throughout the cube ... drones who come near the nanites are "attacked" by then. Essentially, the nanites leap into their bodies.

Host Two_of_Nine says:
~~~send assault drones to invader locations~~~

Four_of_Nine says:
::corresponds incoming information with any other known encounters by Borg vessels::

Eight_of_Nine says:
::Is attacked by the nanites::

Host Two_of_Nine says:
::sends data into the collective, to avoid any other such attacks and encounters::

Seven_of_Nine says:
::nanites cover him in his helpless state::

Four_of_Nine says:
::looses communication with several Counter Measure drones::

Host One_of_Nine says:
::continues his current mission as nanites crawl into his servos and make it hard to move::

Six_of_Nine says:
::feels the nanites moving over her::

Three_of_Nine says:
::Blinks as silence replaces some voices.::

Four_of_Nine says:
::sends nanite information to three of nine::

Host Two_of_Nine says:
::watches a swarm of invisible creatures invade his  workspace like a swarm::

Host One_of_Nine says:
~~~ All Drones: Repel the intruders. Repair damaged drones. ~~~

Host The_Collective says:
ACTION: The nanites reach the veniculum ... to the surprise [and perhaps horror?] of the drones onboard; they suddenly no longer hear the voices of the Collective. They are cut off. Confusion mounts as hundreds of Drones are suddenly thrust to individuality. They currently remember nothing of their past lives ... just that they are there.

Three_of_Nine says:
::Accepts information and begins to process it::

Seven_of_Nine says:
::starts to convulse::

Host The_Collective says:
ACTION: Key systems of the cube begin to shut down one by one.

Host One_of_Nine says:
::bumps into a drone, spins, bumps into another ... wacky confusion ensues::

Host Two_of_Nine says:
::grabs his head, and falls to his front::

Four_of_Nine says:
::suddenly stiffens as communication is lost with the Collective::

Eight_of_Nine says:
::Drops to her knees as the nanites consume her::

Six_of_Nine says:
::feels panic start::

Seven_of_Nine says:
::activates voice box:: Anyone: Help!

Four_of_Nine says:
Self: I am...  ::has a loss for words::

Four_of_Nine says:
::notices mechanical arm analyzing it closely::

Eight_of_Nine says:
~~~Error, error....malfunction~~~

Host Two_of_Nine says:
::looks at himself, craving the millions of voices that are silent now::

Host One_of_Nine says:
::wonders who is doing this to them::

Host The_Collective says:
ACTION: The nanites rush through the confused drones ... placing those they inject themselves into a sleeping mode.

Three_of_Nine says:
::turns around as she hears the malfunctioning Borg, but stays beside five of nine.::

Host Two_of_Nine says:
::closes his eyes and falls forward::

Eight_of_Nine says:
::Topples over deactivated::

Three_of_Nine says:
::Closes her eyes and quietly assumes the new nanites::

Host The_Collective says:
ACTION: Soon, it is over. Connection ... terminated.
