FCO Cmdr Foster says:
@::peeks out from the corner to see what damage has been done::
CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
::turns around, whirring::
CO Capt Quchant says:
::sitting in the chair on the bridge::
CO Capt Quchant says:
XO: Any news from sickbay?
FCO Cmdr Foster says:
@Team: You all still in one piece?
CEO Ens Silek says:
::continues scanning the Borg vessel::
CSO Ens Amuz says:
::on the Bridge, science station::
XO Cmdr Telgar says:
CO: Not yet Captain.
CTO Ens Koval says:
:: attempts to input something to his console, and hits it after a while::
CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
::looks around Sickbay:: Self: Should I take a number, or will I be served soon?
CTO Ens Koval says:
Aloud: Work, damn you!
CO Capt Quchant says:
::looks around at the thumping coming from tactical::
CO Capt Quchant says:
CTO: Would you like to open a window and throw some rocks?
XO Cmdr Telgar says:
:: chuckles ::  Self:  I would.
CSO Ens Amuz says:
::glances at the CTO and narrows her eyes::
CTO Ens Koval says:
CO: I’d rather go push out the torpedoes from the tubes.
Ens Mackie says:
@FCO: A few minor burns but otherwise fine.
Doctor Wong says:
::His betazoid senses tingling replies to Idrani::  CIV:  We have fourteen patients you are number 15 and we are severing number 2.  ::Grins at him.::
CO Capt Quchant says:
*FCO*: Status?
CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
Wong: I believe you are Wong. I, being nearly BORG AND ALL, should be number one on the list.
Doctor Wong says:
CIV:  But that would make you wait longer.  ::Continues to grin::
CO Capt Quchant says:
XO: Maybe the explosions knocked out the communications?
CTO Ens Koval says:
:: takes out a data device and links it to his console, creating a temporary fix ::
CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
Wong: When are you going to help me?
FCO Cmdr Foster says:
@Sec: Get those burns treated before we go any further. ::taps his badge:: *CO*: We had a close call but we're picking up the pieces... apparently we beamed over here while I was in the middle of placing the charges on the other cube... what's the damage over there?
XO Cmdr Telgar says:
CO:  Running a diagnostic now Captain.
Doctor Wong says:
CIV:  I can take you in about five minutes.  Do you think you cannot assimilate anyone during that time?
CO Capt Quchant says:
*FCO*: We're checking now  ::points at the CSO::
CSO Ens Amuz says:
CO: Checking now, sir ::taps her console and checks the results::
CO Capt Quchant says:
*FCO*: We'd detected the explosion....we were afraid you'd missed the beaming for a moment
CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
Wong: I'll try... blasting you with my disruptor gun... not so sure...
CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
::turns and starts walking around::
Security Guard says:
CIV: Sir...please stand still.

ACTION:  The Borg ship that was full continues to have explosions as the cascade effect.  Damage to the ship is 40%  The third cube is beginning its evacuation.

XO Cmdr Telgar says:
CO: I'll check status now sir.
FCO Cmdr Foster says:
@*CO*: We made it all right, the problem was some of the spatial charges I placed made it too.
CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
SEC: I'm just having a stroll.. helps with the pain...

ACTION:  Suddenly a loud piercing sound erupts on the cube the AT is on.

ACTION:  The first empty cube explodes.

XO Cmdr Telgar says:
*Wong*  Sickbay, what is the status of our returned crew.
FCO Cmdr Foster says:
@::Covers his ears and falls to his knees:: Aloud: YAAAAAAAARRRGH
CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
::grabs his head and leans over:: Aloud: Aaaaah!
CO Capt Quchant says:
::winces as the sound comes through the open comm. channel::
CSO Ens Amuz says:
CO: Captain, the cube with explosives seem to be err, exploded... the third cube is beginning its evacuation
CO Capt Quchant says:
CSO: One down, I guess.  Find the source and nature of that squeal
Doctor Wong says:
::Motions for Idrani to follow him.::  *XO*:  We are getting there.  The Capt's wife is coming along swimmingly.  We are in the process of extracting the implants now.  Far as we can tell no permanent damage.  She has been asking for the Captain.
FCO Cmdr Foster says:
@::looks around to see if he can find the source of the noise, clutching his ears::
CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
Wong: She's the lucky one. Because of her baby, the assimilation process went slower.
XO Cmdr Telgar says:
*Wong*  Thank you Dr, keep us informed.
CSO Ens Amuz says:
CO: Aye sir, beginning an audio tracer sequence now, sir
CTO Ens Koval says:
:: looks around :: Aloud: That can’t be good.
XO Cmdr Telgar says:
CO:  Lorehani is doing well.
CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
::carries on walking around, walks out of Sickbay::
XO Cmdr Telgar says:
:: sitting at the OPS console, makes sure she still has a lock on the away team ::
Doctor Wong says:
CIV: Let's be grateful they didn't take the baby out. ::Sees the CIV walk out of sickbay::  CIV:  Where do you think you are going?!?!?!
Security Guard says:
::stands in the way of the CIV::
Security Guard says:
CIV: Back inside sir. Now.
CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
SEC: I need to speak to the Captain. Move or be moved.
CSO Ens Amuz says:
CO: Preliminary scans suggest that the noise is coming from the comm. channel... beyond that I am not sure - we might need to run a more detailed scan
Doctor Wong says:
*CTO*: Ensign!!  Idrani has left sickbay... Get him!!
CTO Ens Koval says:
:: looks around, jumps up and starts running towards the turbo lift::
Doctor Wong says:
::Reaches the door and grabs Idrani::
Security Guard says:
CIV: We have a working communications system.  Get back inside before we have to do it ourselves.
FCO Cmdr Foster says:
@::taps at a panel:: *XO*: Sharra, did you manage to beam out any of the technology we marked?
CO Capt Quchant says:
*FCO*: Can you hear me commander?  What's going on?
CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
::slams his hands into the security guards knocking them back, then steps over them::

ACTION:   The countdown starts on the cube....  10.....9.....8......

XO Cmdr Telgar says:
*FCO*  Yes, we got it Will.  What is that noise?
FCO Cmdr Foster says:
*CO*: Barely... if I'm reading this right, this cube's either about to self destruct or throw a disco party.
Security Guard says:
::as he slides to the floor he shoots the CIV in the back::
XO Cmdr Telgar says:
:: hears the countdown. :: Self:  Crap!
CO Capt Quchant says:
*FCO*: Get out now
CO Capt Quchant says:
XO: Get them out
FCO Cmdr Foster says:
*XO*: Glad to hear it... can we come home now???
CTO Ens Koval says:
*Security*: Security Team Omega, report to Sickbay. Apprehend Commander Idrani on sight!
CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
::carries on walking at a normal pace to a turbo lift, enters and orders it to the bridge::
XO Cmdr Telgar says:
:: has a lock on the away team ::  All:  Energizing!
Doctor Wong says:
*Bridge*:  Borg on the Loose....Borg has escaped!!
CO Capt Quchant says:
*Sickbay*: How many? who?
Doctor Wong says:
*CO*:  Just Idrani...He wants to talk to you.  I suspect he is heading to the bridge!
CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
::walks onto the bridge::
CEO Ens Silek says:
Security: Bridge to Security ... Commander Idrani is here.
CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
CEO: Sssh. Don't tell them.
CO Capt Quchant says:
::stands::
CO Capt Quchant says:
CIV: Commander...stand down.  That's an order
CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
CO: I am Borg.
CSO Ens Amuz says:
::notices the CIV and rises from her seat, grabbing her phaser in case::
CO Capt Quchant says:
CIV: Commander....stand down...or we'll put you down
XO Cmdr Telgar says:
CO:  Captain, I have the away team.  That cube is going to go up!

ACTION:  The cubes explode knocking the Tal War backwards...people go flying about the bridge.

CTO Ens Koval says:
*Bridge*: Alright. :: forwards the message to his security teams and calls for another ::
CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
CO: Try it.
CTO Ens Koval says:
:: runs back to the turbo lift::
CO Capt Quchant says:
AFCO: Get us away from that cube
CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
::walks over to a console and injects his tubules::
CO Capt Quchant says:
All: shoot him
FCO Cmdr Foster says:
::falls off the transporter pad::
CO Capt Quchant says:
::shoots the CIV on several different frequencies of phaser fire::
CSO Ens Amuz says:
::stumbles as the ship moves, but aims and fires::
CO Capt Quchant says:
XO: Lock that console out
XO Cmdr Telgar says:
:: looks up ::  CIV:  Thalev!  :: charges at the CIV to knock him away from the console ::
CTO Ens Koval says:
:: reaches the bridge, with a security team ::
CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
::carries on accessing the console, bypasses security lockouts and re-writes them::
AFCO Biggles says:
::attempts to regain control of the ship and move it away from the cube::
CO Capt Quchant says:
AOPS: Lock the Console out from the rest of the ship.  isolate it
CTO Ens Koval says:
:: pulls his phaser rifle, sets on full stun and shoots Idrani ::
CTO Ens Koval says:
:: shoots the console he is accessing::
CSO Ens Amuz says:
CTO: ARE YOU CRAZY, male!

ACTION:  the Console explodes and Idrani is not happy and turns on the CTO.

CTO Ens Koval says:
:: sets his rifle on kill, maximum setting and fires ::
CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
::removes his tubules from the destroyed console and points his disruptor at the CTO, firing it, then turns to the CEO:: CTO: You for breaking it. CEO: You so you cant fix it again.
CEO Ens Silek says:
::attempts to dodge the Borg's shot::
CO Capt Quchant says:
::continues to reconfigure his phaser and shoot the CIV::
CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
CO: I just want to talk...
CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
::stands to attention::
CO Capt Quchant says:
CIV: Then talk.
FCO Cmdr Foster says:
::makes his way toward the bridge:: CO: That was close.
CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
::catches the XO in a big bear hug, holding her in front so they stop firing at him::

ACTION: Finally the found the right frequency and the CIV falls to the ground.

CO Capt Quchant says:
CIV:...when you wake up
CEO Ens Silek says:
::attempts get behind the CTO and attempts to neck pinch him::
CTO Ens Koval says:
:: is standing in a turbo lift ::
XO Cmdr Telgar says:
:: falls with the CIV and then gets back up ::  CO:  I'll try to see what damage he did.
CO Capt Quchant says:
XO: Good
CSO Ens Amuz says:
::moves towards the CIV, phaser still raised::
CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
::behaves::
FCO Cmdr Foster says:
::steps out of the turbo lift on the other side of the bridge then wishes he hadn't:: All: What the... ::runs over to the drone Idrani and tries to free Sharra from his grip::
CO Capt Quchant says:
CTO: get a security team up here and secure the commander.  Get him down to sickbay into a force field level 10 and get the medical team to start removing components quickly
CTO Ens Koval says:
:: is passed out, on the floor ::
CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
CO: Captain... Commander Idrani... 2 of 9... 2 of... First Contact Specialist...
CO Capt Quchant says:
CIV: Darn...you're still conscious?  ::raises phaser until he says “First Contact Specialist”::
CO Capt Quchant says:
CIV: Idrani...are you still in there?
CSO Ens Amuz says:
*Sickbay*: Send a medical team to the Bridge, the CEO has been hurt
FCO Cmdr Foster says:
::stands very still and looks confused::
XO Cmdr Telgar says:
:: begins tapping at an empty console to find what damage Idrani has done ::
CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
CO: Captain. ::his Borg eye whirs as he tries to focus:: I am in here... fighting, but the Borg personality is taking over slowly.  These Borg from the future keep some of their individuality... it's torture.
CO Capt Quchant says:
FCO: take the Conn... get us to a safe place above the planet's pole or something
CEO Ens Silek says:
CSO: I am undamaged...  a medical team is unnecessary. ::stands::
FCO Cmdr Foster says:
::shakes his head and heads for the flight console to start adjusting course::
CSO Ens Amuz says:
::looks at him:: CEO: If you say so... *Sickbay*: Belay that request, the CEO  is fine
CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
::looks to the CO waiting::
XO Cmdr Telgar says:
:: isolates the damage and sends the report to the CEO ::  CO:  No major damage, I've isolated it and sent the report to Ensign Silek.
CTO Ens Koval says:
:: pulls himself up on the wall ::
CEO Ens Silek says:
::looks down:: CSO: However... Ensign Koval may require medical attention.
CO Capt Quchant says:
*Sickbay*: Send up equipment and personnel to start removing Borg devices from Commander Idrani
CSO Ens Amuz says:
::looks at the CTO and shrugs:: CEO: he looks fine...unconscious, but fine
FCO Cmdr Foster says:
CO: You want them to take them out up here? COOL!
CTO Ens Koval says:
Aloud: Why was everyone so hesitant to attack him? According to Starfleet regulations, once a crewmember has been assimilated it is to be assumed that he is an enemy.
CO Capt Quchant says:
FCO: I don't think moving him is a good idea
CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
CO: Thank you. Sir, they are going to invade the quadrant. You have to stop them.
FCO Cmdr Foster says:
CO: You want me to arrange for some popcorn?
CO Capt Quchant says:
CIV: We're trying to.  Can you tell how many Borg there are...where the main terminal hub is
CSO Ens Amuz says:
CTO: Would you like to elaborate what more we could have done, Ensign? Phaser firing not enough?
CTO Ens Koval says:
CSO: He was close to gaining control of the ship and clearly phaser fire on stun wasn’t enough.
CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
::points to the screen:: CO: That... the planet. That is the gateway.
CO Capt Quchant says:
CIV: Do you have co-ordinates on the planet for whatever mechanism they are using?
CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
::starting to look in pain again:: CO: It is torture. If it's too late, please don't let me live like this.
CEO Ens Silek says:
::frowns and begins to scan the planet::
CO Capt Quchant says:
CIV: We're going to remove what we can.  Help is on it's way up.  You have to see if you can find out what the Borg are doing from the inside.  Fight them

ACTION:  The science console goes crazy.

CSO Ens Amuz says:
CTO: And if we have missed him? What about the damage to the systems? Did you learn about acceptable collateral damage in the Academy? ::stops, noticing the console and goes to investigate::
CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
CO: It's obvious that I am.
FCO Cmdr Foster says:
::moves the ship into position over the northern pole of the planet::
CTO Ens Koval says:
CSO: Knocking out a few consoles is acceptable collateral damage, he could have destroyed this entire ship!
CO Capt Quchant says:
CIV: What are the co-ordinates on the planet of the main information exchange.  The main nexus
CEO Ens Silek says:
::notes the report and communicates to Engineering a request for a technical crew to the bridge::
CSO Ens Amuz says:
CO/XO: There is a very strange reading on the northern continent, there is... ::taps her console again:: Yes, there are a high concentration of Borg and human like people
CO Capt Quchant says:
CTO: contact the different torpedo stations.  Get each of them set to a different frequency with random changes
CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
CO: The northern continent.
FCO Cmdr Foster says:
CO: We're in position.
CO Capt Quchant says:
CSO: Borg and human?  Have they not completely assimilated the planet yet?
CO Capt Quchant says:
CIV: Can you be more specific?
CEO Ens Silek says:
::frowns and concentrates his scans on that area::
CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
::stands and points to the exact spot on the science console::
CEO Ens Silek says:
CO: There is an.... impressive amount of energy being generated from that area Captain.
CSO Ens Amuz says:
CO: It is possible that there is something of importance on the northern continent... or the rest of the planet is unsuitable for sentient life
XO Cmdr Telgar says:
CSO:  Are they assimilating any of the humans.
CTO Ens Koval says:
CO: Aye captain. :: grabs his makeshift console and contacts the torpedo stations ::
CSO Ens Amuz says:
XO: Yes, Commander, they are
XO Cmdr Telgar says:
Out loud:  Damn!
CO Capt Quchant says:
CTO: Lock weapons on the co-ordinates provided by Commander Idrani. When I order to fire, short burst from the phasers with rotating frequencies and same goes for the torpedoes.
CO Capt Quchant says:
CTO: confirm when ready
CTO Ens Koval says:
:: makes some modifications, which are made difficult by him using a PADD as a console ::
FCO Cmdr Foster says:
CO: Are you thinking what I think you're thinking?
CO Capt Quchant says:
FCO: You want a plate of bangers and mash too?
CTO Ens Koval says:
CO: All done, Captain.
CO Capt Quchant says:
CTO: Fire.
XO Cmdr Telgar says:
CSO:  Can we isolate those not assimilated?
FCO Cmdr Foster says:
CO: I had one earlier.
CO Capt Quchant says:
FCO: You could have shared
CTO Ens Koval says:
CO: Firing. ::presses a few buttons, releasing phasers and torpedoes::
CSO Ens Amuz says:
CO: With all due respect sir is that wise? ::watches:: Never mind
CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
:;still waiting to have the Borg software uninstalled by the medical staff::
FCO Cmdr Foster says:
::waits with bated breath to see what happens::
CSO Ens Amuz says:
::wonders if the planet  is deemed 'culturally contaminated' enough::

ACTION:  The Phasers and Torpedo's head for the surface, their aim true...once the reach the target, they disappear.   Several weapons platforms on the surface turn and aim for the Tal War.

CSO Ens Amuz says:
XO: It won't matter now, sir
CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
CO: I forgot to mention the weapons platforms.
CO Capt Quchant says:
CIV: Oh well...that's ok then.
CO Capt Quchant says:
FCO: Evasive maneuvers
CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
CO: Oops.
FCO Cmdr Foster says:
::sees the warning light on his console that indicates an incoming weapons lock:: All: Ohhhhh sh.........
CSO Ens Amuz says:
CIV: That was kind of important...
FCO Cmdr Foster says:
::moves the ship as fast as he can in any direction::
XO Cmdr Telgar says:
CO:  Shouldn't we attempt to rescue any of the innocent bystanders?
CTO Ens Koval says:
:: holds on to a nearby console ::
CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
CSO: Hey, don't be so judgmental. You ever been semi-assimilated?
CO Capt Quchant says:
XO: If they are that close they are likely already assimilated
XO Cmdr Telgar says:
CO: With your permission,  I'm going to try anyway Sir.
CO Capt Quchant says:
CTO: Target the weapon platforms and fire
CSO Ens Amuz says:
CIV: I have not, fortunately, but there have been many trials of my tribe which are tough on their own
CO Capt Quchant says:
XO: by all means.  Have security standing by just in case
CO Capt Quchant says:
XO: Assuming you can do that while the shields are up
CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
CSO: Do they involve having your eye poked out by an ugly Borg?
XO Cmdr Telgar says:
CSO:  Try and isolate any unassimilated humanoids.
CTO Ens Koval says:
CO: Aye Captain. :: targets the weapon platforms and fires all phaser banks, including a supply of torpedoes ::
XO Cmdr Telgar says:
CO:  I'll do my best Sir.
CSO Ens Amuz says:
CIV: No- ::turns to the XO:: XO: Yes, Commander ::begins trying to isolate non-Borg humanoids::

ACTION:  Several Weapons platforms incur damage.

CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
CO: Sir, I still am connected to the Borg Collective, being as your medical staff are yet to help me... I can get the weapons frequencies... but throwing myself so deep into the voices will be like giving up the fight. I suggest you quarantine me first.
FCO Cmdr Foster says:
::Tries to keep the ship at the right angle to give the optimum weapons coverage while attempting to dodge any incoming fire::
CO Capt Quchant says:
::points at a couple of security guards to move the CIV to a corner::
CO Capt Quchant says:
CTO: Isolate the CIV in a level 10 force field
FCO Cmdr Foster says:
CO: Tell me backup is on the way... I'm not sure how long I can dodge these weapons.
CTO Ens Koval says:
CO: Will do. :: takes a bit of while to raise the force field but completes the task ::
CO Capt Quchant says:
CIV: Do it...and good luck
CSO Ens Amuz says:
XO: Got them, Commander, they are all yours
CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
::nods and closes his remaining eye::
XO Cmdr Telgar says:
CSO:  Good.  I need a 2 second window to get them here in....3 2 1....
