Host Rich says:
Prologue: The Paula Greene has just picked up a Borg Cube on LRS.
Host Rich says:
**********************Resume Mission**********************
CMO_Qui says:
:: In sickbay running more tests on the blood ::
OPS_Mushgrave says:
::With a stiffened spine she begins to modulate the shields.. fingers flying over her console.::
Host CO_Bafii says:
OPS: Inform Command.. I don't believe they were aware the Borg were back in this quadrant
CSO_Biishe says:
::Watching the view screen, her body cold.::
Host CO_Bafii says:
CSO: What are they doing?
Host Rich says:
Action: The Borg cube hails the Paula Greene.
OPS_Mushgrave says:
::Jaw tight:: CO:  Aye Sir...  ::Quickly types out a message and is just about to send it.::  Cube hailing us Sir.  On speaker.
CSO_Biishe says:
::Blinks and looks over at the captain, before forcing herself to look at the sensors.::
Host CO_Bafii says:
::sighs, ready to hear the typical Borg message::  OPS: Let's hear it
OPS_Mushgrave says:
CO:  It's on speaker... just say no thanks please.
Host CO_Bafii says:
::standing in front of his chair, visions of a ravaged ship running through his mind, he waits for the Borg to speak their demands::
XO_Amendoeira says:
::still besides his wife::
OPS_Mushgrave says:
::Continues with remodulating the shields.::
CSO_Biishe says:
::Quietly::  CO:  Sir... sensors show the cube is silent.  Their shields are down and their weapons quiescent.
Host Doral says:
COM: PG: Starfleet vessel this is 1 of 12 however you can call me Doral.
OPS_Mushgrave says:
::Raises an eyebrow.::  Self:  Since when did the Borg name themselves.
CSO_Biishe says:
::She blinks again wondering if she had lost it on the bridge.  In confusion, she turns to look at her husband.::
Host CO_Bafii says:
::his head jerks up... Doral... me...  no "resistance is futile"? ::
Host CO_Bafii says:
COM: Doral: This is Captain Bafii of the Federation Starship Paula Greene.  Your presence here is a surprise to us, as is your greeting.
XO_Amendoeira says:
::returns the surprised look to his wife::
Host Doral says:
COM: CO: Captain we are not as the Borg once was and we need you help.
OPS_Mushgrave says:
::Under her breath.:: All:  It's a trap.
Host CO_Bafii says:
::dubious::  COM: Doral: Please continue.
CSO_Biishe says:
::Looks over to OPS and wonders.::
CSO_Biishe says:
::Quietly:: XO: I am reading 1012 life forms of various species, all drones.
Host Doral says:
COM: CO: This cube has broken away from the collective and everyone aboard has began to take back their individuality.
XO_Amendoeira says:
::frowns, and nods::
Host CO_Bafii says:
::turns around and gives the CSO a look that clearly states "verify that"::
OPS_Mushgrave says:
::Turns back to the CSO.:: CSO:  Ma'am... wouldn't the other Borg follow because of their homing devices?
OPS_Mushgrave says:
CSO:  They just don't let drones go.
Host Doral says:
COM: CO: However there are still some communication links that are still hooked to the collective.
CSO_Biishe says:
OPS:  That depends... on whether they have somehow disconnected themselves... ::Frowns::
Host CO_Bafii says:
COM: Doral: What types of communication links?
OPS_Mushgrave says:
::Shudders::  CSO:  Just takes one drone who doesn't want to separate.
Host CO_Bafii says:
::remains standing, not wanting to get too at ease with this situation::
CSO_Biishe says:
OPS:  Not if they have figured out a way to block...
XO_Amendoeira says:
::moves to the tactical console, verifying the status of weapons on the Borg Cube::
Host Doral says:
COM: CO: Nothing that would allow them to reintegrate us back into the collective but enough to let them know where we are at times.
CSO_Biishe says:
XO: I am monitoring the various life actions.  Normally the result is very... robotic like.  That does not seem to be the case here.
Host CO_Bafii says:
COM: Doral: How did you enter this quadrant?  I was under the impression that all your routes of entry were destroyed.
CSO_Biishe says:
OPS:  I guess that is your answer.
OPS_Mushgrave says:
CSO:  I guess... ::Still doesn't trust them.::
XO_Amendoeira says:
::nods:: CSO : Can you check for nanite activity on their bodies?
Host CO_Bafii says:
::walks up to OPS, the CSO already busy. and speaks softly:: OPS: Long range sensors... check for other cubes.
XO_Amendoeira says:
CO : Sir.. Their weapons systems are not active... Usually normal Borg would power up their weapons and would already be attacking us.
CSO_Biishe says:
XO:  Yes, but that won't help.  Even if they have returned, unless some entity ::Sighs and pauses a moment.::  Some entity has completely rejuvenated them, they will always have traces.
OPS_Mushgrave says:
::Nods at the Capt and adjusts her sensors scanning.::

Host CO_Bafii says:
::nods to the XO::
Host Doral says:
COM: CO: Not all Captain there is an old trans-warp corridor in this section
CSO_Biishe says:
XO:  I am reading traces of Borg weapon signature scoring the cube.
OPS_Mushgrave says:
CO:  I'm detecting no other Borg presences in this section of space.
Host CO_Bafii says:
COM: Doral: What is it that you want us to do for you?
Host CO_Bafii says:
::nods to OPS::
Host Doral says:
COM: CO: The destruction of the one corridor was what made it possible for us and other Borg to break away from the collective.
XO_Amendoeira says:
OPS : Are you detecting any communication from the Borg's uplink nodes?
Host Doral says:
COM: CO: We request your help in severing these communication links and helping us to finish becoming individuals
CSO_Biishe says:
XO:  I am not picking up any indication of biological reasons for their separation.
OPS_Mushgrave says:
XO:  I'm keeping a close ear out Sir but as of the moment......
OPS_Mushgrave says:
::Continues to listen closely::
XO_Amendoeira says:
::nods at OPS:: CSO : What do you mean?
Host CO_Bafii says:
COM: Doral: Understood.  I need to speak with my senior staff, please hold your current position.
OPS_Mushgrave says:
XO:  Hmmm.... I'm picking up something on short range....but... ::Double checks to be sure.::  They appear to be jammed.
CSO_Biishe says:
XO:  I have no explanation why they have chosen to separate themselves from the Borg collective.
Host Doral says:
COM: CO: Also we will offer help that will help you defend your self against the collective.
Host CO_Bafii says:
::nods at OPS to cut the transmission::
OPS_Mushgrave says:
::Cuts the link.::
XO_Amendoeira says:
OPS : Can you pinpoint the origin of the jamming?
Host CO_Bafii says:
Bridge: Impressions?
OPS_Mushgrave says:
XO:  I can try...may take me a bit though.  ::Gets to work.::
XO_Amendoeira says:
CO : Well... IF they are telling the truth, I think we have the obligation to help them achieve their goal.
XO_Amendoeira says:
::nods:: OPS : Do your best.
Host CO_Bafii says:
::nods and looks to the CSO::

CSO_Biishe says:
CO:  Nothing so far is familiar with our... experiences... with the Borg.
Host CO_Bafii says:
::turns towards OPS::
XO_Amendoeira says:
CO : However... I don't think we should try to help them in there.. ::points to the cube:: We should have them power it down, transfer them all to one of our cargo bays, properly contained, and destroy that cube.
OPS_Mushgrave says:
::Carefully she traces the communication pathways......::  XO:  ha...... that is weird... the source of the jamming is from the cube.  Double-checking to make sure.  This is just too easy.  Beware of strangers with gifts.
CSO_Biishe says:
XO:  If they are not 'safe' as is, they will not be safe on our ship.  ::Frowns at the idea.::
CSO_Biishe says:
XO:  Not to mention, dealing with the numbers.
XO_Amendoeira says:
CO : And I agree with Aur.... Lt. Biishe. These aren't your regular Borg.
Host CO_Bafii says:
::turns as the XO speak::  XO: Get the Doctor up here and compare notes with her, see if we can destroy the cube without hurting them.
XO_Amendoeira says:
::nods and taps his badge:: *CMO* : Doctor.. If you're not busy, we need you on the bridge.
CMO_Qui says:
:: Rises from her sample to stretch and hears her commbadges ::   *XO*: I'm on my way, sir.
Host CO_Bafii says:
CSO: How many Borg are on that cube?
CMO_Qui says:
:: Looks at her assistant, nods her head in the direction of the sample, picks up her med kit and leaves sickbay for the bridge ::
CSO_Biishe says:
CO: 1012.
OPS_Mushgrave says:
XO:  Confirmed.. the jamming is coming from the Borg cube.
CMO_Qui says:
:: Enters a turbo lift ::  Turbo lift: Bridge
Host CO_Bafii says:
OPS: Are any signals getting out?  Can the collective track them?
CMO_Qui says:
:: Feels the lift move and she takes a deep breath as she waits ::
Host Rich says:
Action: The Cubes weapons and shields suddenly power up as a Borg Sphere suddenly appears and starts firing on the cube.
OPS_Mushgrave says:
CO:  I'd say no... they need to be in ..... but then again I've been known to be wrong..  ::Curses under her breath.::
XO_Amendoeira says:
::frowns as he watches the Borg sphere appear:: 
Host CO_Bafii says:
::sees the action playing out on the screen in front of him and swears under his breath::
CSO_Biishe says:
CO:  Captain... Borg ship coming through.
XO_Amendoeira says:
CO : I think that answers that question, sir..
CSO_Biishe says:
CO:  The one before us is powering up weapons.  Their shields are up.

CMO_Qui says:
:: Feels the life slow. The doors open, she steps onto the bridge and her eyes are drawn to the view screen a moment ::
Host CO_Bafii says:
::sits heavily, considering::  All: We have no choice... take us in to... defend the cube.
Host Rich says:
Action: The cube fires back destroying a section and the sphere suddenly disappears.
XO_Amendoeira says:
::can't help but find that order strange:: All : Alright.. You heard the captain... CTO : Chief, fire at will.. Concentrate your fire on this ::points to the tactical console:: location on that sphere.
Host CO_Bafii says:
::for the third time since the cube has arrived he is stunned beyond belief::  All: Where did the sphere go?
OPS_Mushgrave says:
CO:  Cloak?
CSO_Biishe says:
::Goes through the sensor logs.::
Host CO_Bafii says:
OPS: Contact the cube - see if they can tell us what happened.
CMO_Qui says:
:: Shakes herself a moment then looks around spying the XO. Moves toward him ::
Host CO_Bafii says:
CSO: Commander Biishe, analysis.
CMO_Qui says:
XO: Sir, what help are you needing here?
OPS_Mushgrave says:
COM: Doral:  This is the Paula Greene please come in.
Host CO_Bafii says:
::feels a headache coming on, and he doesn't like it::
CSO_Biishe says:
CO:  I am reading... looks like trans-warp activity.
Host CO_Bafii says:
CSO: Are you telling me there is a conduit entry right there?
XO_Amendoeira says:
CMO : Sorry doc, something new came up... Still.. We have a Borg cube claiming that all the people in it have detached form the collective and are regaining their individuality. I want you to try to verify that assumption.
Host Doral says:
COM:OPS: This is Doral go ahead
OPS_Mushgrave says:
COM Doral:  What happened?
CMO_Qui says:
:: Nods and moves to an empty console ::
CSO_Biishe says:
CO:  Quiet honestly, I am no sure what I am saying.   As far as I know, there should be none this far in our space.
Host Doral says:
COM: OPS: It seem that we are very close to a trans-warp conduit;
Host CO_Bafii says:
::considers for a moment::  CSO: Find us a good hiding place
OPS_Mushgrave says:
::Good time to find out if they are telling the truth.::  COM: Doral:  Is there a way we can detect it?
Host CO_Bafii says:
OPS: Prepare to drop a sensor buoy, I want to keep this area under observation.
Host CO_Bafii says:
OPS: Let Doral know that we are moving out and they should follow.
OPS_Mushgrave says:
CO:  Aye Sir... I'm just waiting to see if Doral is willing to part with a specific piece of information.
CSO_Biishe says:
CO:  I can tell you were sensors picked up the conducts opening, but nothing beyond that.  As for a location... ::Pulls up the systems map.::
Host CO_Bafii says:
::nods::
OPS_Mushgrave says:
::Prepares the buoy as she waits.::
XO_Amendoeira says:
CO : I don't think that will do you any good sir... They'll just destroy it the next time a ship comes through here.
CSO_Biishe says:
::Scans the data and brings it up on her screen.::  CO:  There is an asteroid belt here that should be able to cover us.
Host CO_Bafii says:
FCO: As soon as the CSO gets up a location, set course and engage at warp 9
XO_Amendoeira says:
CO : I Was thinking more along the lines of mines?
Host CO_Bafii says:
XO: Ah, but at least we will know that it came through.
CSO_Biishe says:
CO:  I am also worried about their presence and that planet.
Host Doral says:
COM: OPS: I am not sure where you can or not we were lucky enough to receive a message that they were coming through
Host CO_Bafii says:
CSO: Send the location to the helm and the cube.
OPS_Mushgrave says:
COM: Doral:  We are also preparing to move out...it is suggested that you join us.  ::ponders:: Can I tap into your communication systems so we can monitor together?
Host Doral says:
COM: OPS: We will follow thanks and you can try however I am not sure if it is possible.
CSO_Biishe says:
FCO:  Coordinates coming up now.
OPS_Mushgrave says:
::Grumbles under her breath.::  CO:  Permission to try and tap into the Borg cubes communication system/
Host CO_Bafii says:
FCO: Make us disappear mister.  Engage.
XO_Amendoeira says:
::nods:: CO : That won't do us that much good sir... ::shuts up, realizing his own feelings are getting in the way of his personal judgment::
CMO_Qui says:
:: Looks up some information, finds what she "thinks" she remembers and begins to read ::
Host CO_Bafii says:
OPS: Granted.  ::starts to turn to give the XO a glare, but he stopped so does Bafii::
OPS_Mushgrave says:
::Fingers fly across her console as she begins her intricate insertion into the Borg's communication system.::
Host CO_Bafii says:
::gets up and walks up the ramp to the hive of activity::
XO_Amendoeira says:
::closes his fist:: ~~~CSO : I hope we aren't doing the wrong thing here. Even a single cube or sphere can wreak havoc in this area of space...~~~

Host CO_Bafii says:
CSO/CMO: Doctors, I need the two of you to both determine if the Borg are being truthful with us, and if so determine a plan of action to help them.
CSO_Biishe says:
CO:  Ummm... what did you have in mind?
Host CO_Bafii says:
XO: On that note, I'm thinking that cube is in need of an inspection.  I've read your file and I know the history this ship has with the Borg.  If you don't think you can do it I will go myself.
OPS_Mushgrave says:
::Slams her fist onto the console.::  CO:  I can't get in because of the jamming.  ::Curses again.::
CSO_Biishe says:
::Looks at the doctor wondering if she had any idea.::  CMO:  Checking to see if they have started reverting back?
CMO_Qui says:
:: Still going through past contacts with the Borg... ::
XO_Amendoeira says:
::stays silent for a moment, but then speak up:: CO : I can do it, sir... Thanks for asking. ::takes a deep breath:: DO you want me to set up a backup in case they aren't on the level?
CMO_Qui says:
:: Looks over to the CSO ::  CSO: I think I remember reading somewhere where a subspace...something or other blocked the homing device of Borg...I just don't remember where, when or whom... ::
Host CO_Bafii says:
::nods, impressed with the man::  XO: Good, then take Ms. Mushgrave with you.  ::ponders::  Take a shuttle over when we arrive at the field.  ::hopes the XO can follow that train of thought::
CMO_Qui says:
CSO: I'm going through past records of Borg contact to search ::
Host CO_Bafii says:
::turns back to the CSO and CMO::  CSO: I would like to do as the XO suggested and bring them all aboard and then destroy the cube.
CSO_Biishe says:
::Nods to the doctor.::
CSO_Biishe says:
CO:  But captain...
CSO_Biishe says:
::Closes her eyes, her fists clenched.::
Host CO_Bafii says:
CSO: Yes?
XO_Amendoeira says:
::walks over to her wife:: CSO : It's ok Auri... ::eyes the Captain then returns to his wife::
CSO_Biishe says:
::Takes a deep breath and opens her eyes::  CO:  One very good problem with this, is we are not set up for Borg.  We would need 1000 regenerative chambers.
XO_Amendoeira says:
::nods slightly, giving his wife a smile, and turns to leave:: ~~~Auri : Don't worry... We won't let it happen again.~~~
CMO_Qui says:
:: Hears the CSO ::  CSO/CO: How about placing many of them in stasis?
CSO_Biishe says:
~~~~XO:  You cannot promise that.~~~~
XO_Amendoeira says:
::moves to the TL:: OPS : Mushgrave, you're with me.
CSO_Biishe says:
::Holding her anger in check::  CMO:  You can answer that better then I can.  Do we have such facilities?
Host CO_Bafii says:
CMO: That is a consideration.  CMO/CSO: Also contact engineering to see what the likely hood is of moving 1000 chambers aboard.
OPS_Mushgrave says:
::Stands up and turns her station over to her replacement.:: XO:  Aye Sir...  ::joins him at the TL.::
XO_Amendoeira says:
~~~CSO : Trust me.. I would rather die than go through that again.~~~
Host CO_Bafii says:
::leaves the Doctors to ponder out the question::
Host CO_Bafii says:
::head back down to his chair and opens a comm. channel::  COM: Doral:  Bafii to Doral.
Host Doral says:
COM: CO: Doral here
CSO_Biishe says:
~~~~XO:  And we had the choice last time?  I killed our FCO because he could not do anything more then hurt himself.~~~~
XO_Amendoeira says:
::as soon as Mushgrave enters the TL, he speaks up:: Main Shuttlebay...
Host CO_Bafii says:
COM: Doral: Firstly I am sending over a small team to take a look around your cube.  You understand that we have to verify your information.
XO_Amendoeira says:
OPS : Lt.. I want you to rig the shuttle we'll be going on with as much explosives as you can.
OPS_Mushgrave says:
::Stands at the back of the TL with her hands behind her back.  Uneasiness comes over with her.  She wasn't on board during their last encounter with the Borg but she understands their apprehension.::
CSO_Biishe says:
::Her hands slightly trembling, she calls down to engineering.::  *Engineering*:  What is your capability of moving and setting up 1000 rejuvenation chambers?
OPS_Mushgrave says:
XO:  Hmmmm showing the Borg some fireworks Sir?
Host Doral says:
COM: CO: Captain I have no problem with that however I should advise that they only be here no longer than they need to be.
CMO_Qui says:
CSO: I think it can be set up.  All we have to do is erect several, focused beams say...in the cargo bay.  Set the beams along a major esp. power grid...   :: Shrugs her shoulders ::
XO_Amendoeira says:
::grinds his teeth slightly, as the memories resurface:: ~~~We all killed a lot of people, love...~~~ ::manages to speak under his teeth:: OPS : Yes.
OPS_Mushgrave says:
::nods at him then looks at the floor not sure what to say.::
Host CO_Bafii says:
::leaves that remark in the back of his mind, why don't they want them there::  COM: Doral: Understood.  Secondly, we are working on a plan to bring you all aboard the Paula Greene where we can administer aid and hopefully hide your tracks from the collective.
CSO_Biishe says:
::Shakes her head.  It was one of the things he did not understand about her and probably never would.::
XO_Amendoeira says:
::he closes his eyes, focusing his thoughts and falling back on his Vulcan heritage. When he opens them again, he feels much calmer:: OPS : Set them up near the shuttle's warp core. If anything goes wrong, we'll breach it and that cube will be no more.

OPS_Mushgrave says:
XO:  Aye Sir...  Let me get Martins to get a lock on us so we don't go boom too.  ::Speaks softly into her commbadge making arrangements.::
Host Doral says:
COM:CO: I wouldn't recommend that Captain the collective is only after us at the moment bring us aboard would only put your ship in greater danger and I cannot be sure that there aren't some saboteurs aboard my ship;
XO_Amendoeira says:
::nods, but also knows that if anything goes wrong, they probably won't be able to beam out::::
CMO_Qui says:
CO: Sir, if we set up a subspace field around the Cargo Bay bouncing their homing devices back to us...we could be alright
Host CO_Bafii says:
COM: Doral: I'll take that under advisement.  When we have a plan, I'll let you know.  Bafii out.
Host CO_Bafii says:
*XO*: Commander Amendoeira
XO_Amendoeira says:
::exits the TL:: *CO* : Yes sir?
Host CO_Bafii says:
*XO*: Doral has advised me that there may be saboteurs aboard the cube.  Be careful.
OPS_Mushgrave says:
::Hears the Capt and can't help think that of course there would be saboteurs.::
XO_Amendoeira says:
*CO* : Thanks for the head's up, sir. OPS : You better get a security team to come with us..  Just in case.
CSO_Biishe says:
CO:  Captain, engineering says they do not recommend it.
OPS_Mushgrave says:
XO:  Is that wise Sir... That would be more people in danger and would alert any saboteur that is on board.
Host CO_Bafii says:
::turns::  CSO: Understood.  Well we need a plan.  Let me know when you have one.  You have the bridge.  ::makes for the ready room to let command know what is going on::
CSO_Biishe says:
::Opens her mouth at the captain and snaps it shut again.  A tinge of red just behind her eyes.::
XO_Amendoeira says:
::walks into the main shuttlebay:: OPS  : Alright.. Which one is it? ::looks at all the shuttles parked there::
OPS_Mushgrave says:
::Points to the furthest one away.::  XO:  The security team sir?
