@FCO:  I don't believe there was anyone to impress Lt.

@All: What a way to make an entrance.
TO_LtJG_Pierce says:
@::Checks her phaser and waits for orders.::
CTO-Lt-Mark-Anthony says:
::Monitors the AT actions.::
CSO_LtCdr_TShara says:
@::Looks over to the partially missing building.::
CMO_Lt_Endo says:
CO: Because I want to make the possibility of the Borg suddenly showing up because one of the drones wanted to get back to the Collective as small as possible.
FCO_LtJg_Skywise says:
@::Pulls his tricorder and begins a general scan of the area.::
OPS_Lt_Sorvik says:
XO: Of course Commander.  Shall I put the Away team sensor readings and visual on the main screen?
EO_Lt_Hayward says:
@CSO: Are we to kill on sight? Or attempt to gather information?
MO_Lt_Hunter says:
@::Scans for the life signs.::
XO_Cdr_Skywise says:
OPS: Put them along the bottom of the screen so we aren't surprised if anything warps into the area.
CSO_LtCdr_TShara says:
@All:  Our orders are stay together.  We are to investigate why the Borg is here and why are they so interested in the mining areas.  But, first let's try and find the two lifesigns I picked up earlier on sensors.
MO_Lt_Hunter says:
@CSO: I’m on it ma'am.
OPS_Lt_Sorvik says:
XO: Aye Commander.  ::Puts the Away team sensor readings at the bottom of the main view screen like a stock ticker.::
EO_Lt_Hayward says:
@::Unholsters his phaser and looks around.::
Host CO_Captain_William_Hall says:
CMO:  Doctor, I fear if we "take out" all of those Borg on the planet, a sphere or cube might notice them being gone and head this way.
CEO_LtCmdr_Tyfair says:
::Pats the Shield Generator on the top.::  Shield Generator:  Good boy... I'll give you a little extra energy for your good work.
CTO-Lt-Mark-Anthony says:
::Programs the sensors to alert him if any Borg vessels approach within 3 light years of the Claymore’s position.::
CEO_LtCmdr_Tyfair says:
::Puts the power flow back to the regulator and closes up the housing and exits the Generator Room.::
CSO_LtCdr_TShara says:
All:  Do not fire on the Borg we want to be as non-threatening as possible and try to avoid them at all costs.
CMO_Lt_Endo says:
CO: Sir, you don't understand, if a sphere or cube isn't here yet, then they haven't noticed these drones and won't notice their deaths. But if we let them live, the Borg will make these transponders, which will signal the Borg and have them come to the planet. They would be more than happy to do nasty things to us while they're here.
CSO_LtCdr_TShara says:
@::Begins scanning the area.::
FCO_LtJg_Skywise says:
@CSO:  I'm reading several native life signs around the area and in the factory over there.  2 Borg are in the Factory...  Odd... I'm also reading boronite.
EO_Lt_Hayward says:
@::thinks:: CSO: Ma'am? I've been thinking about a way to deactivate the drones without alerting Borg. We just need to be careful not to damage their cortical array. Of course that would mean leaving them somewhat active, but it might disable them.
Host CO_Captain_William_Hall says:
CMO:  Dr. what makes you think a cube or sphere did not deposit those Borg here on purpose?
TO_LtJG_Pierce says:
@::Walks slightly towards the front scanning the area with her eyes.::
EO_Lt_Hayward says:
@::Follows tenuously as they patrol.::
CTO-Lt-Mark-Anthony says:
XO_Cdr_Skywise: Commander there are 2 Borg in close proximity to the AT and the rest are spread out over the landscape.
CMO_Lt_Endo says:
CO: There are five of them. A sphere or a cube would not go to a planet and deposit only five Borg... there are probably many more dead down there.
CSO_LtCdr_TShara says:
@EO: Understood Lt.
XO_Cdr_Skywise says:
CTO: Alert the AT of the location in case they are unaware.
CSO_LtCdr_TShara says:
@FCO: How many Borg are in the factory can you tell Lt.?
CTO-Lt-Mark-Anthony says:
XO_Cdr_Skywise: Aye. Understood.
CMO_Lt_Endo says:
CO: I don't know what could have happened to their ride, but it's not here now, so it's most likely destroyed.
FCO_LtJg_Skywise says:
@CSO: I'm reading two, Lt.
Host TomG says:

CSO_LtCdr_TShara says:
@FCO:  Hold your fire Lt.
TO_LtJG_Pierce says:
@All: Hold fire!  He's not metal!
Host Ysai says:
@::Screams out in native language which the AT doesn't understand.:: <Let me go! Leave my planet! Don't kill me!>
Host CO_Captain_William_Hall says:

FCO_LtJg_Skywise says:
@CSO:  Understood.
CEO_LtCmdr_Tyfair says:
Hall:  Captain the shields have been modified, I can now contort them to look like a puppy if you want me to.

Host Ysai says:
@::Holds the knife tightly, wondering about these people with weird colors all over them.::
CMO_Lt_Endo says:
CO: Granted, it's important to do that, but that shouldn't stop us from killing the Borg. They only bring misery and death.
Host CO_Captain_William_Hall says:
*CEO*:  Good work Mr. Tyfair.  CTO:  Scan the area for any debris or signs of a battle.
EO_Lt_Hayward says:
@::Goes to work on the universal translator, which doesn't seem to be working.::
TO_LtJG_Pierce says:

MO_Lt_Hunter says:
@::Stands up...freeing the native.
CSO_LtCdr_TShara says:

Host CO_Captain_William_Hall says:
CMO:  I agree with you there Doctor but lets first look at the situation closer....

CEO: I prefer my life a little blander...most times....
MO_Lt_Hunter says:
@TO: ::walks over:: You ok?
OPS_Lt_Sorvik says:
COMM: Away team: Commander open a channel on your tricorder and I will begin to decipher the language.
CSO_LtCdr_TShara says:
@Ysai:  We come in peace we are here to help you.  ::Looks at the native and realizes they don't understand us.::
CMO_Lt_Endo says:
::Exasperated:: CO: Why, sir? There's no point! Every second they stay alive, we risk death or worse... assimilation.

@::Begins to back away, toward the factory.::
CTO-Lt-Mark-Anthony says:
CO_Captain_William_Hall: I have nothing on sensors that would indicate any debris in this sector sir.
XO_Cdr_Skywise says:
CEO: Exactly.
MO_Lt_Hunter says:
@TO: Ok good ::smiles::
CSO_LtCdr_TShara says:
@All:  It appears that they can't understand us.  I have contacted Lt. Sorvik and he is working on helping us translate.
OPS_Lt_Sorvik says:
::Begins to translate the language and feeds the information into the UT.::
Host CO_Captain_William_Hall says:

CTO-Lt-Mark-Anthony says:
::Continues to monitor the LRS and the AT progress.::
Host CO_Captain_William_Hall says:
CTO:  Thank you Lt.  CMO:  See Dr.  with no signs of debris or a battle, I don't feel like those Borg were just left with a Borg Ship not knowing about it.
CSO_LtCdr_TShara says:
@::Sees the native run away.::
Host TomG says:
ACTION: THE AT MEMBERS GET THE UNCANNY FEELING OF BEING WATCHED.
CMO_Lt_Endo says:
CO: No sir. Haven't you heard what I said? The Borg would already be here if they knew about them, and even if they were already on their way, we still need to take care of them, because maybe we could get the Borg to change course since there are no Borg here.
CSO_LtCdr_TShara says:
@::Pulls out her phaser and sets it on stun and fires at Ysai.::
Host Ysai says:
@::Is stunned and collapses.::
EO_Lt_Hayward says:
@::Chilled::

CEO_LtCmdr_Tyfair says:
::Quickly readjusts the visual sensors so they aren't zoomed up on the Away Team.::

FCO_LtJg_Skywise says:
@CSO:  Never mind about that follow the native thing.  ::rolls his eyes::
Host TomG says:
ACTION: A TWIG SNAPS TO THE LEFT OF THE AT.
OPS_Lt_Sorvik says:
COMM: T'Shara: I need more samples in order to complete the translation Commander.
Host CO_Captain_William_Hall says:
CMO: But doctor, from reports, Borg always retrieve their dead.  What’s to say they wouldn't come back for those Borg?
CTO-Lt-Mark-Anthony says:
::Makes a note that a weapon has been fired.:: CO: I've detected a weapons discharge on the surface sir.
FCO_LtJg_Skywise says:
@::Spins left.::
CSO_LtCdr_TShara says:
@FCO:  We had to stop him Lt. as to not draw any attention to us.
CMO_Lt_Endo says:
CO: The living take priority over the dead.
EO_Lt_Hayward says:
@::Looks around at the noise.::
Host CO_Captain_William_Hall says:
CTO:  From who?
CMO_Lt_Endo says:
CO: And more take priority over less.
FCO_LtJg_Skywise says:
@CSO: Right T’Shara...  but it sounds like someone else is out there.
MO_Lt_Hunter says:
@::Looks around towards the sound.::
FCO_LtJg_Skywise says:
@MO:  You reading anything on your tricorder?
CTO-Lt-Mark-Anthony says:
CO_Captain_William_Hall: From the AT sir.

ACTION: A ROCK SLAMS INTO THE BACK OF THE FCO'S HEAD, HAVING BEEN THROWN FROM THE RIGHT.
EO_Lt_Hayward says:
@CSO: Affirmative.
Host CO_Captain_William_Hall says:
XO:  What's happening down there Commander?
MO_Lt_Hunter says:
@CSO:<w> yes...::sees the FCO go down and rushes over to him in a crouch.::
CMO_Lt_Endo says:
CO: Chances are, there are more living drones on countless planets and the Borg would probably go for them first.
FCO_LtJg_Skywise says:
@::Yelps and turns around.::
CSO_LtCdr_TShara says:
@All: Take cover.
TO_LtJG_Pierce says:
@::Raises her phaser towards the right, peering in the direction.::
CSO_LtCdr_TShara says:
@FCO:  Are you all right Lt?
MO_Lt_Hunter says:
@FCO: Lt Skywise are you ok?
XO_Cdr_Skywise says:
::Heads over to the SCI console since the CMO seems more apt to argue with the CO and adjusts the sensors back on the AT.::
EO_Lt_Hayward says:
@::Scans the area from where the rocks were thrown.::
FCO_LtJg_Skywise says:
@MO:  Yeah.. Luckily it hit me in the head.
CTO-Lt-Mark-Anthony says:
::Opens a Comm link to the CSO.::
Host TomG says:
ACTION: ANOTHER ROCK, SLIGHTLY BIGGER THAN THE ONE THAT HIT THE FCO, HITS THE CSO IN THE SIDE OF THE HEAD, HAVING BEEN THROWN FROM THE LEFT.
CEO_LtCmdr_Tyfair says:
::Laughs out loud at the rock hitting Skywise in the head while watching the visual sensors of the Away Team.::
CTO-Lt-Mark-Anthony says:
CO_Captain_William_Hall: I have opened a Comm link to the CSO sir.
TO_LtJG_Pierce says:
@<w>CSO: Ma'am, it has to be the second native... the Borg haven't been known to throw rocks... have they?
XO_Cdr_Skywise says:
CO: Sir, it seems they are being pelted with small, slow projectiles.
CSO_LtCdr_TShara says:
@::Feels the blow to the side of her head.::
MO_Lt_Hunter says:
@FCO: stay down while I check the CSO. CSO: Ma'am are you ok?
XO_Cdr_Skywise says:
OPS: That translator up yet?
FCO_LtJg_Skywise says:
@CSO:  Do you want us to return fire?
XO_Cdr_Skywise says:
CO: They are getting surrounded by life signs. None of which are Borg.
FCO_LtJg_Skywise says:
@::Spinning around, looking for a target.::
Host CO_Captain_William_Hall says:
CMO:  No doctor.  No more teams.  That’s final.  XO:  Do they know from where?  CTO:  Put it through.
CSO_LtCdr_TShara says:
@FCO: No do not return fire.
EO_Lt_Hayward says:
@CSO: I'm with you Ma'am lets relocate and figure out what were doing.  I'm showing that the natives are surrounding us.
OPS_Lt_Sorvik says:
XO: No Commander, I do not have enough of their language.
Host TomG says:
ACTION: PEEBLES AND ROCKS RAIN DOWN ON THE AT FROM ALL DIRECTIONS AS THEY ATTEMPT TO TAKE COVER.
CTO-Lt-Mark-Anthony says:
::Makes a note that the natives are in close proximity to the AT.::
FCO_LtJg_Skywise says:
@::mutters::  This is gonna hurt.
XO_Cdr_Skywise says:
*CSO*: We need more of their language before we can get a translator for you.
EO_Lt_Hayward says:
@::Takes cover.::
Host CO_Captain_William_Hall says:
XO:  How many.
MO_Lt_Hunter says:
@::Aloud:: Bloody hell!!!
TO_LtJG_Pierce says:
@Self: Ouch!  Geez...
CSO_LtCdr_TShara says:
@*XO*:  Understood Commander but we are in the middle of being pelted by rocks at the moment.
OPS_Lt_Sorvik says:
XO: Commander should I beam them back up?
FCO_LtJg_Skywise says:
@::Moves backwards, attempting to shield the CSO.::
CMO_Lt_Endo says:

XO_Cdr_Skywise says:
OPS: Not yet.  Keep an eye on their Life Signs.
Host CO_Captain_William_Hall says:
XO:  Order them to take cover if they can.  OPS:  Do you still have the TR lock on them?
TO_LtJG_Pierce says:
@CSO: I think we need get the message to them that we're not ouch... hostile ma'am.  Ouch... this is starting to hurt.
OPS_Lt_Sorvik says:
XO: Aye Commander.  Heart rates have increased.
XO_Cdr_Skywise says:
*CSO*: Take cover if you can...
XO_Cdr_Skywise says:
OPS: Understood.
OPS_Lt_Sorvik says:
XO:  Yes we still have a TL.
CSO_LtCdr_TShara says:
@All: Agreed Lt.  But, they don't understand our language yet and we are having a hard time translating.
XO_Cdr_Skywise says:
CO: I'm having a hard time getting an accurate count.  There are approximately 40-80 life signs out there with them.
Host CO_Captain_William_Hall says:
ALL:  Suggestions?
FCO_LtJg_Skywise says:
@CSO:  T’Shara... I don't want to be pushy...  OWWW.... but this is getting really old, really fast.  Do one of those command decision thingies, huh?
CEO_LtCmdr_Tyfair says:
Hall: Submission.
OPS_Lt_Sorvik says:
CO: Sir if this was a recon Away mission we should pull our people back.
CMO_Lt_Endo says:
CO: I'd say send in some help, but as you said sir...
CTO-Lt-Mark-Anthony says:
CO_Captain_William_Hall: Suggest a white flag?
XO_Cdr_Skywise says:
CO: Well the Borg are in the Factory and we're not sure that we won't loose our transporter lock on them...so I don't think going in there is a good idea.
CSO_LtCdr_TShara says:
@All:  We need to regroup.  Let's take cover in the factory away from the rocks.  Just be on the lookout for the two Borg that are somewhere near by.
TO_LtJG_Pierce says:
@CSO: We could always send a messenger out to try to make peace face to face.  ::Glances at the FCO.::

CO: The CEO and CTO Have a good idea.  We'll keep a Transporter lock on them. It'll be a good way to get their language.
FCO_LtJg_Skywise says:
@::Begins to back toward the factory.::  CSO:  Ummm... LT?  Leaving the rocks to go play with the Borg wasn't really what I meant.
Host CO_Captain_William_Hall says:
XO:  Agreed.  Give the order.
CSO_LtCdr_TShara says:
@::Begins backing up towards the factory.::  FCO:  It is not the solution I want either but do you have a better solution at this point Lt?
TO_LtJG_Pierce says:
@All: Yeah, once they run out of little rocks, all that's left is the big rocks.
XO_Cdr_Skywise says:
*CSO*: Surrender to them...keep your com badges on at all costs.  If things go critical, let us know, we'll beam you out.
FCO_LtJg_Skywise says:
@CSO:  You'd probably frown on stunning them all... so I guess no.
CSO_LtCdr_TShara says:
@*XO*:  You want us to surrender Commander?  Do you think that is a wise choice?
Host TomG says:
ACTION: THE RAIN OF ROCKS AND PEEBLES SUDDENLY STOPS AS THE AT STANDS BY THE FACTORY AND STRANGE METALLIC SOUND CAN BE HEARD COMNG FROM THE RUBBLE TO THE RIGHT.
OPS_Lt_Sorvik says:
XO: Surprised at the XO’s comment.  ::Angry tone.:: That is a foolish idea Commander.  No disrespect intended.
CTO-Lt-Mark-Anthony says:
XO_Cdr_Skywise: Commander one of the Borg is moving towards the AT.
FCO_LtJg_Skywise says:
@::Turns to his right, quickly bringing up his phaser.::
XO_Cdr_Skywise says:
OPS: Your opposition is noted.
XO_Cdr_Skywise says:
*CSO*: Borg headed your way...
CSO_LtCdr_TShara says:
@::Turns to the right and hears the sound.::
FCO_LtJg_Skywise says:
@::mutters::  Gee... thanks Kaly.
EO_Lt_Hayward says:
@::Returns to the group, and follows.::
Host Drone1 says:
@::Comes clomping out into the clearing, head swinging left and right, arms moving out of synch with the legs.::
CSO_LtCdr_TShara says:
@All: Take cover.
FCO_LtJg_Skywise says:
@CSO:  Cool!  A spastic drone!
XO_Cdr_Skywise says:
*CSO*: What are the natives doing?  Are they clearing out and leaving you alone?
TO_LtJG_Pierce says:
@::Finds some cover, keeps her eye on the drone.::
CTO-Lt-Mark-Anthony says:
::Looks for the rest of the drones and what they are doing.::
FCO_LtJg_Skywise says:
@::Slips behind some rubble... watching the drone.::
Host Drone1 says:
@::Turns towards the TO’s position and starts moving.::
CSO_LtCdr_TShara says:
@*XO*:  The natives have left us alone at the moment Commander but we have other problems at the moment.
EO_Lt_Hayward says:
@::Fires at the Drone.::
TO_LtJG_Pierce says:
@::Peeks over the big boulder.:: Ack!
XO_Cdr_Skywise says:
*CSO*: I'm aware... Do anything you need to to keep out of their reach.
CSO_LtCdr_TShara says:
@EO: Hold your fire.
Host CO_Captain_William_Hall says:
*CSO*:  Commander, this is the Captain, move away from the drone.  Allow the natives to see you are not friendly with him.
Host Drone1 says:
ACTION: AS THE DRONE COLLAPSES, AN EAR SPLITTING SHRIEKING TONE RIPS THROUGH THE AIR.
TO_LtJG_Pierce says:
@::Raises her phaser.  "Gee... what's wrong with him?"::
CEO_LtCmdr_Tyfair says:
::Looks at the Borg on his console, and then runs intensive scans of that drone.::
Host CO_Captain_William_Hall says:
::Turns to the XO.::  Maybe the natives will see and become more friendly to the team.
FCO_LtJg_Skywise says:
@::winces at the noise.::  All:  What is THAT?
XO_Cdr_Skywise says:
CO: It's possible.....
CSO_LtCdr_TShara says:
@All:  I don't think that was a good thing.
Host CO_Captain_William_Hall says:
XO:  Then maybe we can learn some more of the language.
XO_Cdr_Skywise says:
CO: Possibly.
TO_LtJG_Pierce says:
@::Winces and shuffles backward covering her ears.::
Host Drone1 says:
ACTION: THE REMAINING FOUR DRONES SEEM TO BE CONVERGING ON THE AT POSITION, APPARENTLY IN RESPONSE TO THE SOUND.
CSO_LtCdr_TShara says:
@::Covers her ears at the sound.::
CTO-Lt-Mark-Anthony says:
XO_Cdr_Skywise: Commander the other 4 drones are moving towards the AT now.
CSO_LtCdr_TShara says:
@::Watches on her tricorder noticing the other 4 Borgs are heading in their direction.::
EO_Lt_Hayward says:
@::Moves toward the drone and attempts to disable the sound.::
TO_LtJG_Pierce says:
@::Fires at the screeching drone.::
XO_Cdr_Skywise says:
OPS: Be ready to beam them out...in a heartbeat.
XO_Cdr_Skywise says:
CTO: Understood.
FCO_LtJg_Skywise says:
@::Brings his phaser to bear on the drone at full.::
CSO_LtCdr_TShara says:
@All:  Fire on the drone let's see if we can get that noise to stop fast before the others get here.
CMO_Lt_Endo says:
::Walks over to Sci 2 and does... nothing.::
CTO-Lt-Mark-Anthony says:
::Turns to his LRS to check them for Borg ships.::
OPS_Lt_Sorvik says:
XO: Of course Commander.
Host CO_Captain_William_Hall says:
XO:  Have them take cover again.  Allow the other Borg to stop the downed Borg.  That would limit our interference.
TO_LtJG_Pierce says:
@All: Is this the Borg version of Marco Polo or something??  ::Fires on the drone some more waiting for it to shut up.::
XO_Cdr_Skywise says:
CO: Sir...I don't suggest they take cover.  That would trap them inside a building, Sir.
CEO_LtCmdr_Tyfair says:
All: That Drone isn't transmitting any subspace interlink frequencies...
Host Drone1 says:
ACTION: THE BORG DRONE SLOWLY DISAPPEARS THANKS TO PHASER FIRE AND THE SCREAMING STOPS, JUST IN TIME TO HEAR THE BORG COMING OUT OF THE FACTORY.
Host CO_Captain_William_Hall says:
XO:  I understand.  Well I don't want to think we caused this Borg to go down.
FCO_LtJg_Skywise says:
@::Turns his phaser on the building above Drone 2, causing the wall to collapse on the drone.::
XO_Cdr_Skywise says:
CEO: Thank you, Commander...
XO_Cdr_Skywise says:
CO: Sir we fired on it.  It was our fault.
XO_Cdr_Skywise says:
CO: I suggest they vacate the area until it's safe to return.
CSO_LtCdr_TShara says:
@All:  We want this one alive.  There seems to be something different about these Borg we want to be able to scan it and get some readings on it.
Host CO_Captain_William_Hall says:
XO:  ::shakes his head::  Get them out of there.  I want to know why they fired on that Borg.
Host Drone2 says:
@::Shakes off the rubble from the wall and stands up, staring directly at the FCO.::  Resistance is...  Resistance...
XO_Cdr_Skywise says:
CO: Aye.
FCO_LtJg_Skywise says:
@::Looks at the drone.::  Futile you idiot!  Sheesh!
CMO_Lt_Endo says:
::Rolls his eyes at the CO's words.::
XO_Cdr_Skywise says:
*CSO*: Vacate the area...The Captain wants to know why the drone was fired upon.
Host Drone2 says:
@::Starts moving towards the FCO in an uncoordinated manner.::
FCO_LtJg_Skywise says:
@CSO:  So LT...  just how do you capture a drone?  ::begins to back away from the drone, seeing if it will follow him.::
CSO_LtCdr_TShara says:
@*XO*:  I don't think running would be an option Commander.  There appears to be something wrong or different about these Borg if we could get one to analyze or run scans on.
OPS_Lt_Sorvik says:
::Looks over the scans from the Away team.::
CSO_LtCdr_TShara says:
@All:  Heavy stun on the Borg.
Host Drone2 says:
ACTION: THE OTHER 2 DRONES FINALLY APPEAR IN THE CLEARING, ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE AT.
XO_Cdr_Skywise says:
*CSO*: Is it possible to disable it and get it away from the others safely?  I stress safely.
TO_LtJG_Pierce says:
@CSO: Aye.... uhh... ohh...
FCO_LtJg_Skywise says:
@::Fires at the drone as ordered.::
XO_Cdr_Skywise says:
CEO: They said there is something "different" about the drones.  Can you tell me what it is from here?
CTO-Lt-Mark-Anthony says:
XO_Cdr_Skywise: The other 2 drones have arrived near the AT.
CSO_LtCdr_TShara says:
@*XO*:  Working on that now Commander.
Host Drone2 says:
ACTION: THE FCO MISSES BADLY, BUT DRAWS THE ATTENTION OF A 2ND DRONE.
Host CO_Captain_William_Hall says:
CTO:  Any Borg ships in the area Lt?
CEO_LtCmdr_Tyfair says:
XO: Yes.. as I said, they aren't emitting interlink frequencies.. they aren't connected to the Hive.
CTO-Lt-Mark-Anthony says:
CO_Captain_William_Hall: Scanning now.
TO_LtJG_Pierce says:
@::Pivots towards the new drones.::
CSO_LtCdr_TShara says:
@::Sees the new drones.::
XO_Cdr_Skywise says:
CEO: But would that explain their odd movements and such.
FCO_LtJg_Skywise says:
@::Sees the 2nd drone and begins moving away from both of them.::
CMO_Lt_Endo says:
::Drums his fingers on his console and listens to the conversation around him, waiting for an opportunity to contribute something.::
TO_LtJG_Pierce says:
@::Makes mental note to have FCO run phaser drills if they get back.::
Host CO_Captain_William_Hall says:
::Hears the CEO.::
XO_Cdr_Skywise says:
*CSO*: These drones aren't connected to the hive. It doesn't mean they aren't dangerous, but they can't communicate with others.
CSO_LtCdr_TShara says:
@All:  Take cover now.
CEO_LtCmdr_Tyfair says:
XO: Maybe they are drunk...
CTO-Lt-Mark-Anthony says:
CO_Captain_William_Hall: No ships sir on LRS.
Host Drone2 says:
ACTION: THE BORG STOP IN THE CLEARING, SEEMINGLY CONFUSED BY THE SUDDEN HIDING OF THE AT.
XO_Cdr_Skywise says:
CEO: Are they able to inject the regular nanoprobes?
CEO_LtCmdr_Tyfair says:
XO: I don't see why not... I don't detect any damage to their bodies.  But analyzing the state of their nanoprobes can't be done at this range.
Host Drone2 says:
ACTION: 2 DRONES TURN AND FACE THE FCO'S POSITION AND BEGIN MOVING TOWARD IT.
Host CO_Captain_William_Hall says:
CTO:  How many drones are left on the planet?
FCO_LtJg_Skywise says:
@::Sees the drones coming and looks to the CSO for orders.::
XO_Cdr_Skywise says:
::Nods:: CEO: Thanks....Thank you, Commander.
CSO_LtCdr_TShara says:
@All: Hold your fire and stay put.
TO_LtJG_Pierce says:
@::Follows them with her phaser.:: FCO: I think they like you Lt.
Host Drone2 says:
ACTION: THE TWO DRONES STOP JUST IN FRONT OF THE FCO'S POSITION.
FCO_LtJg_Skywise says:
@::mutters::  Oh yeah... sure T’Shara...  they aren't standing in front of YOU.
Host Drone2 says:
@All: Resistance is futile..  Resistance...  ::turns to drone 3 and tries to assimilate it.::
CSO_LtCdr_TShara says:
@FCO:  Hold your fire Lt.
CEO_LtCmdr_Tyfair says:
All:  I could beam one to a confined area, and put up a dampening field.
Host Drone2 says:
::repeating::  Resistance is futile..  Resistance is futile...
XO_Cdr_Skywise says:
CEO: I don't know that I'd feel safe with one of those things on the ship.
FCO_LtJg_Skywise says:
@::Watches the Borg...  amazed::
CSO_LtCdr_TShara says:
@::Watches as the drone tries to assimilate the other.::
Host Drone2 says:
@<Drone3> ::tries to assimilate drone 2 back.::  Resistance...
FCO_LtJg_Skywise says:
@::Can't help whispering:: ... is futile, stupid
Host Drone2 says:
ACTION: DRONE 3 STOPS AND LOOKS AT WHERE THE FCO IS HIDING
Host CO_Captain_William_Hall says:
XO:  It would give us a chance to find out what is going on.  CEO:  Could you "knock" it out and study it that way?
CSO_LtCdr_TShara says:
@All: These drones don't appear to be like the other Borg that Starfleet has encountered before.
XO_Cdr_Skywise says:
CO: Sir it's your call. I'm just stating my opinion.
Host Drone3 says:
@::Walks over muttering "Resistance is futile" and begins to try and assimilate the large piece of building the FCO is hiding behind.
CEO_LtCmdr_Tyfair says:
Hall: Yes sir. There are several methods of doing that from a variety of Starfleet ships.
TO_LtJG_Pierce says:
@CSO: They seem kind of... ditsy.
FCO_LtJg_Skywise says:
@::Falls backwards, startled as he sees the tubes come out.::
Host Drone3 says:
ACTION: THE OTHER 2 DRONES IN THE CLEARING WALK AWAY IN OPPOSITE DIRECTIONS, MUMBLING AND SWAYING
FCO_LtJg_Skywise says:
@::Picks himself up and glances over at the TO.::  TO:  Clearly these Borg are from the tactical section.
Host CO_Captain_William_Hall says:
XO:  Understood.  CEO:  Bring one aboard but I want it unconscious.  I will dispatch a Security Team to guard it while you study it.
Host Drone3 says:
ACTION: THE 2 DRONES WALKING AWAY STOP AND TURN TO WALK INTO THE FACTORY.
CEO_LtCmdr_Tyfair says:
Hall: The unconscious part would have to be done by the Away Team.
CSO_LtCdr_TShara says:
@::Watches as the other two drones walk away.::
TO_LtJG_Pierce says:
@FCO: Ha ha ha.  ::Lowers her phaser.:: I'll just let him get you now.
FCO_LtJg_Skywise says:
@::Grins at the TO.::  TO:  You know.. they seem kind of.... ditsy.
CSO_LtCdr_TShara says:
@All:  Regroup.
FCO_LtJg_Skywise says:
@::Moves toward the CSO.::  So LT.. how do we capture one of those TO Drones?
Host CO_Captain_William_Hall says:
CEO:  A phaser blast of high stun should do that.  *CSO*:  Commander T'Shara, this is Captain Hall.  Take down one Borg but do not kill it.  We are bringing it aboard to study.
Host Drone3 says:
ACTION: 2 DRONES MANAGE TO WALK INTO THE FACTORY, WITH GREAT DIFFICULTY.
CSO_LtCdr_TShara says:
@*XO*:  Commander the situation has improved.
XO_Cdr_Skywise says:
*CSO*: Quite a relief....
Host Drone3 says:
ACTION: THE REMAINING 2 DRONES CONTINUE TRYING TO ASSIMILATE..  1 WORKING ON A PIECE OF RUBBLE AND THE OTHER TRYING TO ASSIMILATE A NEARBY TREE.
CMO_Lt_Endo says:
::Wishes he had opened a channel between the planet and the ship so he could understand exactly what was happening.::
CEO_LtCmdr_Tyfair says:
::Sets up the Cybernetic Lab with Starfleet Borg Isolation protocols.::
CSO_LtCdr_TShara says:
@TO:  Ok Lt.  We need to take out one of the drones.  Stun only.
CSO_LtCdr_TShara says:
@*CO*:  Aye sir.
CSO_LtCdr_TShara says:
@TO:  Heavy stun Lt.
TO_LtJG_Pierce says:
@::Fires a big wallop of a shot at the drone::
Host CO_Captain_William_Hall says:
XO: <w>  I know you will not be comfortable with the Borg aboard but I will keep it isolated to the best of my ability.
Host Drone3 says:
ACTION: THE TO'S PHASER FIRE SLAMS INTO DRONE 2 AND KNOCKS IT BACK AND TO THE GROUND, WHERE IT COLLAPSES AND BEGINS EMITTING THE SHRIEK.
XO_Cdr_Skywise says:
::Nods to the CO:: CO: ....will the team be coming back up?
Host Drone3 says:
ACTION: THE OTHER DRONE TURNS AND STARES AT THE ONE ON THE GROUND, THEN BEGINS ALTERNATING BETWEEN A SHRIEK AND A STRANGE BEEPING SOUND.
Host CO_Captain_William_Hall says:
XO:  At this point I believe it would be a good idea so we can study it and send them back with more information.
Host TomG says:
ACTION: THE BEEPING DRONE WANDERS AROUND THE CLEARING, COMING TO A STOP NEAR THE DOWNED DROWN AS THE BEEPING INCREASES IN PITCH AND VOLUME.
XO_Cdr_Skywise says:
*CSO*: Prepare to beam up.
XO_Cdr_Skywise says:
CEO: Anything on that weird noise, I'm hearing over the combadge?
Host TomG says:
ACTION: AS THE BEEPING BECOMES FAST, THE DRONE DROPS TO THE GROUND AND EXPLODES, DESTROYING BOTH DRONES AND LEAVING A LARGE BLACK SPOT ON THE GROUND.
Host TomG says:
<< PAUSE CLAYMORE EPISODE >>
