Processing-node

USS Odyssey

Borg Cube / processing-node

Narrator BOT 29-Sep-21 10:59 PM

*This is a processing node. The Borg interact with the computer here, but it doesn't have enough power to transmit the virus to the entire Cube. Try another room.*

Crewman Kk’kkv 03-Oct-21 06:38 PM

*Kk'kkv enters, rifle readied.*

Ensign Hunter Maxwell 03-Oct-21 06:40 PM

*Maxwell follows. Rifle at the ready.*

Ensign Joshua Chambers 03-Oct-21 06:44 PM

*Joshua is right behind Maxwell*

Lt. Cmdr. Girak Mayott 03-Oct-21 06:46 PM

*Mayott walks in and looks at the computers. It shown little information about the state of the cube and fighting outside. He dare not touch the computer’s surfaces for fear of alerting the Borg.* (edited)

Lt. Cmdr. Sa'val Stryker 03-Oct-21 06:47 PM

*Sa'val is right behind Joshua, rifle up, scanning his sector.*

Borg Queen BOT 03-Oct-21 06:51 PM

*The Borg collective whispers become louder, so much so that any of the members who have been assimilated before would feel the vibration of the sounds.*

Lt. Cmdr. Sa'val Stryker 03-Oct-21 06:52 PM

*Sa'val, blissfully unaware of any such nonsense, gestured to Kk'kkv to form up and move toward the computers.*

Ensign Hunter Maxwell 03-Oct-21 06:53 PM

*Maxwell scans the room. He shuffle steps toward the terminals, rifle aimed, however making sure the crosshairs never saw a fellow officer*

Crewman Kk’kkv 03-Oct-21 06:55 PM

*Kk'kkv speaks, as quietly as possible, but enough so that Sa'val's superiors hearing can pick it up clearly.* "Sir, it is clear Borg have used this room recently, what shall we do?" (edited)

Crewman Harry Lynton 03-Oct-21 06:56 PM

*As the others made their way into the room, he could not hear any sort of those whispers. Not even knowing that they were happening, he moved next to the door and continued to watch what was happening from the past room. No borg would get past him, he affirmed. At least over his dead body that was.*

Lt. Cmdr. Sa'val Stryker 03-Oct-21 07:10 PM

"Best not to touch anything. Commander Mayott probably has the right idea..." *Sa'val whispered as he gestured to the Cardassian who was glancing at the Console but obviously not touching it.* "...find our exit, and be ready to move." *Sa'val turned to Kano, down the line behind the protection detail.* "Ensign Extretus, did you being any explosives with you?"

Lt. Cmdr. Girak Mayott 03-Oct-21 07:13 PM

*He gets close to Kk’kkv.* “How many do you suspect?” *He too didn’t hear the whispers.* (edited)

Crewman Kk’kkv 03-Oct-21 07:15 PM

"By the number of monitors, a half dozen at least, probably more. I do not know where they would be now - also, if I spot a Borg, what would you wish for me to do?"

Ensign Kano Extretus 03-Oct-21 07:18 PM

*Kano scanned the area, fortunately not of a disposition to hear the whispering either.* (edited)

Ensign Joshua Chambers 03-Oct-21 07:18 PM

*Joshua scans the room, not hearing anything but staying on high alert, surprised there have not been any Borg spotted as of yet*

Lt. Cmdr. Sa'val Stryker 03-Oct-21 07:25 PM

*Sa'val looked at Kano, fully expecting a reply from the Officer who should have recognized that Sa'val had at least been thinking of speaking to him.*

Ensign Hunter Maxwell 03-Oct-21 07:26 PM

*Maxwell waits for Kano to answer, looking carefully for an exit to the room.*

Ensign Kano Extretus 03-Oct-21 07:28 PM

*::Sir, I might have a few party favors, just for you.::* *Kano said, lowering his weapon and pulling a satchel off his back.* (edited)

(What, oh great gm, might the ordinance be, as I can’t find the names for anything?)

Lt. Cmdr. Sa'val Stryker 03-Oct-21 07:34 PM

*Sa'val offered a smirk, glad the Officer had come prepared.* "Outstanding. Prepare a small surprise. We may want to knock down some of their processing power. Remote detonate, of course, what is your range?"

Crewman Kk’kkv

"By the number of monitors, a half dozen at least, probably more. I do not know where they would be now - also, if I spot a Borg, what would you wish for me to do?"

Lt. Cmdr. Girak Mayott 03-Oct-21 07:38 PM

“What for Ensign Kano, but be ready to fire.”

Ensign Kano Extretus 03-Oct-21 07:49 PM

*::I’ve got a half dozen plasma and photon charges for combat, a couple tetryon charges. They’d make an extensive dent in a ships shielding. I have a polaron charge, which is… probably something that we’ll need to be on the other end from, Just in case.::* *he started rifling through the devices until he pulled out a polaron and the tetryon in his hands.* *::I’ll be honest, we can’t remote from any closer than a couple inches. Physically impossible. But I’d recommend at least two hundred meters between us and anything we use.::* *he completely abandoned the joke almost as soon as he’d thought it.* (edited)

Ensign Hunter Maxwell 03-Oct-21 08:03 PM

*Maxwell smiles. Party favors were his favorite. He’d love to give the Borg a parting favor.*

Ensign Joshua Chambers 03-Oct-21 08:08 PM

*Joshua smirks, hoping the Borg enjoy their parting gift*

"Commander, should I advise the Odyssey of our plan to leave the Borg a gift?"

Lt. Cmdr. Sa'val Stryker 03-Oct-21 08:25 PM

"Set up a Polaron Charge against this console. Presumably it will be able to create maximum damage to this subsystem. How long will you need?" *Sa'val turned to Joshua.* "No, Ensign Chambers. It is presumed that as a Team Leader I would be sufficently qualified to tactically determine the best course of action to take. However, attempt to make contact with the Athena. Commander Kestra will need to attempt contact with our Reconnaissance Operative, Loorp, and advise him we are here and establish a rally point to meet him. Make that happen." (edited)

Ensign Joshua Chambers 03-Oct-21 08:37 PM

"Copy sir. Understood. I will attempt to make contact now" *He activates his Comm badge*

Ensign Hunter Maxwell 03-Oct-21 08:57 PM

*Maxwell drops his weapon to the ready position and adjusts the scope on it. Waiting for what needed to happen next. His heart rate was up, only because no Borg, especially in a processing node room seemed not right. He looked to other members of the group, and became concerned for what he (as one of the point men) was leading them into.*

Ensign Kano Extretus 03-Oct-21 09:12 PM

*::Shouldn’t take long, Sir. Just give us a moment.:: Kano put away the tetryon and moved to affix the polaron against the processor. ::Shouldn’t be but… fifty seconds.::* *Quickly he worked, setting the detonator to be affected remotely, and programming the remote and the charge to the same frequency. With it in this fashion, he could blow the charge at any point after now. When he was finished, Kano looked up to Stryker and nodded.* *::The fireworks are set.::* (edited)

Ensign Joshua Chambers 03-Oct-21 09:15 PM

*Joshua looks to Commander Stryker* "Sir, Commander Kestra is not available. Commander Azoci will be attempting to make contact."

Crewman Harry Lynton 03-Oct-21 09:41 PM

*Harry continues to watch the rear of the line, hoping that they could get the fuck out of dodge. His finger ever close to the trigger in order to quickly fire at any drone that even walked into the other room.*

Lt. Cmdr. Sa'val Stryker 03-Oct-21 09:47 PM

*Sa'val held his rifle to the ceiling once again, while his other hand rested on his hip.* "Very good. The Commander should be able to do so. With charges set, we are ready to move this procession out. Lead Element...stack up and try that door. Chambers, set up to follow. Once you are packed up, Kano, join the tail end. Ready to move out, Team." *Sa'val pointed to the door which he did not know would lead to the #weapons-storage. He returned to low-ready with his rifle and prepared to join his place in the column.*

Ensign Hunter Maxwell 03-Oct-21 09:51 PM

*Maxwell moved toward the door. Gathering up on the right side. Waiting for the team to get her together before he opened the door.*

Crewman Kk’kkv 03-Oct-21 09:53 PM

*Kk'kkv, as point, also gets herself into position.*

Ensign Joshua Chambers 03-Oct-21 10:04 PM

"Copy, sir. On you Maxwell" *Joshua stacks up behind him and prepares to enter*

Ensign Hunter Maxwell 03-Oct-21 10:07 PM

*Maxwell nods, reshifts. Looking to Sa’val to give the order to breach.*

Lt. Cmdr. Sa'val Stryker 03-Oct-21 10:32 PM

*Sa'val checked one last time, his neurotic headcount as it were. He turned back to Maxwell and pointed at him with a nod. The order to breach given to him and Kk'kkv.*

Lt. Cmdr. Girak Mayott 03-Oct-21 10:34 PM

*Back into position, Arian and Mayott both made sure all the members were covered in case something borgish suddenly came at them.*

Ensign Hunter Maxwell 03-Oct-21 10:35 PM

*Maxwell hit the door panel. Opening the door into the next room. Swinging his rifle into the room on the right, scanning the room making sure there is no Borg before he gave the move forward signal.* (edited)

Crewman Kk’kkv 03-Oct-21 10:37 PM

*Kk'kkv does a similar swinging action.*

Ensign Kano Extretus 03-Oct-21 10:42 PM

*Kano packed away the explosives and slung the satchel back over his shoulder. His rifle was in the low-ready position a heartbeat after. Now wasn’t the time to be caught unaware just because he was packing the luggage.* *When the door slid open, Kano could see what appeared to be an armory.* *::Well, would you look at that, Lt. Do my eyes deceive me, or is… oh dammit.::* *Kano finished, as the sight of two bodies came into his field of vision.* (edited)

Lt. Cmdr. Sa'val Stryker 03-Oct-21 10:52 PM

*Sa'val had turned to look at Kano out of habit. He took his focus off just a second, but had to turn back to see what had interrupted Kano's sentence. Sa'val will now have to take his action at the end of everyone else's turn.*

Ensign Hunter Maxwell 03-Oct-21 10:56 PM

*Maxwell quickly placed his back to the wall again.* “Get down! We’ve got Borg!”

Narrator BOT 03-Oct-21 10:57 PM

*The Team had been behind him, along the wall, and no one was exposed to incoming fire.*

Lt. Cmdr. Sa'val Stryker 03-Oct-21 10:58 PM

*Sa'val 'Tsked' and slapped Chambers on the back to advance.* "Move in, press the attack. Phaser fire first followed by the Projectile fire."

Ensign Hunter Maxwell 03-Oct-21 11:00 PM

*Maxwell turns and fires, and then tucks and rolls into the next room.*

Ensign Joshua Chambers 03-Oct-21 11:01 PM

*Joshua moves into the weapons storage and takes up the closest cover and begins to fire on the Borg closest* (edited)

Narrator BOT 03-Oct-21 11:17 PM

*Concerned with the protection of her charges, the stalwart Lieutenant Rhosyn shielded Altan from danger and hugged the wall to avoid creating a target of themselves. Itching to get into the fight but aware of his importance, Altan continued to maintain his readiness and take cover inside the processing node.*

Dr. Amatea Janaii 03-Oct-21 11:37 PM

*Amatea always has, and always would be if she could, be right where the action is. Flipping her safety off and clicking the switch to kill, she scooted against the wall closer towards the others, double checking no Borg were coming straight on for Altan and Rhosyn, she tucked and sprinted into action towards #weapons-storage, rifle and head low as she tactically scuttled towards the key players of the firefight. It was her job to heal them, yes. But within that same role was to protect them from incoming fire where she could.*
