::Enters the holodeck and looks around for a familiar face::
 
XO Lt Cmdr Aan:
:: Walks into the Holodeck, his head still throbbing a little.:: Richmond: Commander.
 
Cmdr Richmond:
ACTION: Many of the ship's less senior staff are gathered in the holodeck::
 
Cmdr Richmond:
::nods to Aan as he arrives::
 
Cmdr Richmond:
All: Welcome to a new holodeck program, which has recently been designed by Starfleet Corps of Engineers.
 
CMO LTJG Atreides:
::Nods at A'an and Suder and finds himself a place slightly behind the crowd::
 
CNS LtCmdr Suder:
:: stops a little way in and eyes Richmond up before her attention is drawn to A'an for a moment::
 
XO Lt Cmdr Aan:
:: Raises an eyebrow.:: Self: Oh boy...
 
Cmdr Richmond:
All: It has been programmed to test you mentally, physically and emotionally. I will warn you now, it is not an easy test.
 
CNS LtCmdr Suder:
:: gives CMO and friendly nod as she listens::
 
CNS LtCmdr Suder:
Self: they never are...
 
CMO LtJg Atreides:
Self: This'll be interesting.
 
Cmdr Richmond:
All: I wish you all the best of luck. You'll need it.

CNS LtCmdr Suder:
:: eyes widen as she sees her 'new' surroundings:: Self: Oh, this is realistic…
 
CMO LtJg Atreides:
::Looks around as the holodeck presents its new scene::
 
TO Lt Novar:
::looks around::
 
CNS LtCmdr Suder:
:: steps over to A'an:: XO: So... orders?
 
XO Lt Cmdr Aan:
:: Shrugs. :: CNS: Don’t die.
 
CNS LtCmdr Suder:
:: sighs, turning on the spot:: XO: Aye, sir.
 
CMO LtJg Atreides:
::Walks over to the nearest drone and has a good look::
 
TO Lt Novar:
ACTION: The drone does not move
 
XO Lt Cmdr Aan:
:: Thinks for a few minutes, then turns to the rest of the crew. :: ALL: Ok, since this is basically a survival test, I'd say we need to find a more defensive area. Lets see if we can find someplace with a little more manoeuvring room.
 
EO Ens Ydren:
::Busies herself self with poking a random drone with her finder, making sure to watch his facial expression for any reaction::

XO Lt Cmdr Aan:
:: Motions everyone to form up and looks down the corridor. :: CNS: I didn’t know I was relieved?

ACTION: A Borg appears around the corner
 
CNS LtCmdr Suder:
:: sighs slightly, as she eyes up a dark corridor:: XO: Cute.
 
CMO LtJg Atreides:
::Puts his tricorder back in its holster and moves back to the others, kicking the drone in the shin before he does::
 
EO Ens Ydren:
::Glances curiously towards the next corridor as she hears the strange sound emitting from that general location, with a quick glance back at the group she turns her attention back to the source of the sound and notices the approaching drone as he comes towards them::

All: Oh, how cute! ::Squeaks at the Borg drone:: He reminds me of someone! ::Takes a step back behind the group::
 
XO Lt Cmdr Aan:
:: Can’t believe someone kicked the damn drone. ::
 
TO Lt Novar:
<Borg> We are Borg. We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own. Resistance is futile
 
TO Lt Novar:
<Terot> ::takes his phaser from the holster and starts backing away::
 
CNS LtCmdr Suder:
EO: Hold your tongue, Ensign... :: doesn't add: "Our XO is busy getting us into trouble, here"::
 
XO Lt Cmdr Aan:
:: Motions down the corridor. :: ALL: Lets move people! :: Heads down the corridor. ::
 
TO Lt Novar:
<El-Aziz> ::notices something from the corner of her eye:: CMO: Doctor!

ACTION: The Borg dies
 
TO Lt Novar:
<Gren> ::running with Aan:: XO: Not the type of test I had in mind, sir.
 
XO Lt Cmdr Aan:
:: Moves down the corridor into a larger chamber, points at the adjoining corridors. :: ALL: Take defensive positions here until we get our bearings. Teams of two, alternate frequencies to compensate. :: Turns and looks back down the corridor to see what’s keeping the others. ::
 
CMO LtJg Atreides:
Self: That does it. If we ever meet the Borg on duty I'm calling in sick. ::Runs after everyone else::
 
CNS LtCmdr Suder:
:: imagines they only have about one or two more good shots before their phasers are useless. Sets a modulating frequency, in at attempt to get a few more chances::
 
XO Lt Cmdr Aan:
Gren: Never is with the Borg.
 
CMO LtJg Atreides:
::Adjusts his phaser and walks over to Suder:: Suder: I hate these things...

<Gren> XO: Aye, sir.

:: Moves to the corridor they just came down, to see what’s keeping the rest of the team. ::
 
CNS LtCmdr Suder:
:: utters a very unladylike curse:: XO: Phasers useless, sir.
 
TO Lt Novar:
ACTION: Sot and Selvsted turn a corner and are assimilated::
 
CNS LtCmdr Suder:
:: looks around, trying to find a bit of piping, a bit of metal, something to use as a weapon. Spots a likely instrument and gets to phasering a curved pipe off the wall.::
 
XO Lt Cmdr Aan:
:: See's Sot and Selvsted assimilated and swears. :: CNS: Here. :: Tosses his phaser to her, walks over to the wall and wrenches a pipe from the wall, hefting it like a club. ::
 
CMO LtJg Atreides:
:: gets his tricorder out and tries to get a reading from one of the drones::
 
CNS LtCmdr Suder:
:: sees XO's done the same thing:: XO: Great minds, Selzah.
 
TO Lt Novar:
ACTION: More of the crew start to fall foul of the Borg
 
CMO LtJg Atreides:
All: Um... ::raises an eyebrow:: You know the ones who have just been assimilated? According to this reading...they have been.
 
XO Lt Cmdr Aan:
:: Looks back down at his tricorder and sees a chamber a few levels down that looks promising. :: ALL: This way!
 
CNS LtCmdr Suder:
:: thinking these 'assimilations' look a bit too real for comfort. Has witnessed actual assimilations in the past and this is just causing it all to come flooding back::
 
TO Lt Novar:
::runs towards Aan, Suder and Gren::
 
TO Lt Novar:
ACTION: The remaining crew run with the senior staff::
 
CMO LtJg Atreides:
::Follows Suder and Aan::
 
CMO LtJg Atreides:
Self: Anyone just hear what I said?
 
CNS LtCmdr Suder:
:: running fast, now, voice slightly shaking:: CMO: Arm yourself properly as soon as you can.
 
EO Ens Ydren:
CMO: Yes, Lt. The Borg are real. What else is new? ::Rolls her eyes in annoyance::
 
CNS LtCmdr Suder:
:: spins around:: CMO: What?
 
XO Lt Cmdr Aan:
:: uses the sharp end of the pipe to sever the neck circuits of few drones they pass. :: CMO: YES I heard you, but unless you discover something that will help us, I don’t think it really matters right now!
 
TO Lt Novar:
<Richmond> Stood watching the holodeck program, red lights flashing, whooping noises around him:: Engineering team: Stop the test! Stop it now!
 
CMO LtJg Atreides:
CNS: They're real as you and me... XO: I'll try and think of something!
 
TO Lt Novar:
ACTION: The remaining crew enter a cargo bay

CMO LtJg Atreides:
CNS: We'll see... ::Looks around the cargo bay for something to use as a weapon::
 
TO Lt Novar:
ACTION: Ydren falls
 
XO Lt Cmdr Aan:
EO: Alright, I'm gonna say something is not right, and considering the track record of Starfleet engineering when it comes to stuff like this, I'd say we’re going to have to find a way out of this holodeck. YOU :: Points at Ydren.:: EO: Find access to a panel and see if you can do anything to help us.
 
CNS LtCmdr Suder:
XO: Selzah! :: sees Ydren fall:: There is no way out of here. :: spins and lashes out at a drone coming near to her, sending half its head skitting off across the floor::

TO Lt Novar:
::screams in horror as he is assimilated::
 
TO Lt Novar:
ACTION: The Borg close in on the team

TO Lt Novar:
ACTION: No response
 
XO Lt Cmdr Aan:
:: Looks around at the cargo bay, spots a ventilation panel in the back of the bay. Points at it. :: ALL: GO!
 
CMO LtJg Atreides:
::Stabs the nearest drone in the chest then takes a couple of steps back in case it decides it doesn't want to be his friend::
 
CNS LtCmdr Suder:
:: whimpers slightly as another crew member is taken from them, can't believe this is happening::
 
EO Ens Ydren:
::Slowly raises her head as she spots the CNS, with a quick pause while she gathers her new orders from the collective she begins making her way towards her::
 
TO Lt Novar:
ACTION: The team try to make it to the panel
 
CNS LtCmdr Suder:
:: backing away from Ydren towards the panel::
 
TO Lt Novar:
ACTION: There is now only Atreides, Suder and Aan left. The rest of the room is filled with Borg

<Borg> You will be assimilated.
 
XO Lt Cmdr Aan:
:: Sprints to the panel and pries it off the wall. ::
 
TO Lt Novar:
ACTION: Borg are inside the panel waiting for Aan. He strikes A’an’s neck
 
CNS LtCmdr Suder:
:: decides it's better to go fighting and lunges for the EO with the pipe, aiming for her head::
 
XO Lt Cmdr Aan:
:: Lurches back, kicking the Borg as hard as he can. ::
 
TO Lt Novar:
ACTION: It is too late. A’an can feel two pin pricks in his neck
 
CMO LtJg Atreides:
::Gets his phaser out sets it to overload, as it probably isn't any good any more anyway, then throws it among some of the Borg to test a theory::
 
TO Lt Novar:
ACTION: A’an can feel nanoprobes running through his veins
 
CMO LtJg Atreides:
CNS: May want to take cover...

EO Ens Ydren:
::Grunts as the CNS jumps on her, with a snarl she catches the CNS in midair and takes her down with her to the floor. Looking down at her she attempts to get the assimilation tubes closer to her::
 
XO Lt Cmdr Aan:
:: Looks at Kesh and Atreides in horror, then turn and roars at the drones approaching and launches himself at them, taking as many as he can before collapsing. ::
 
CNS LtCmdr Suder:
:: Smashes EO's head in in one swift and nasty move::
 
CNS LtCmdr Suder:
:: scrambles to her feet, racing over to the XO, skids over to his side:: XO; Selzah.. Oh, Rixx, no...
 
CMO LtJg Atreides:
Self: Damn thing should have blown up by now... ::sighs and tries to stab some more borg drones in the neck, face and chest::
 
XO Lt Cmdr Aan:
:: Convulses as he tries to resist the inevitable, looks over at Kesh and Atreides. :: All: Run....
 
CNS LtCmdr Suder:

Kesh: Please....
 
EO Ens Ydren:

CMO LtJg Atreides:
XO: Wonderful! That's great news...Want a drink? I could use one right about now I think. ::Walks over to the kitchen area and gets some glasses::
