USS Odyssey

Borg Cube / weapons-storage

Narrator BOT 29-Sep-21 11:04 PM

*This room is full of weapons that the Cube uses to attack ships or planets that are deemed unworthy of assimilation. It is too large for the away team to pick up or move.*

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Ensign Hunter Maxwell 03-Oct-21 10:36 PM

*Maxwell scans the room for any Borg before moving in.*

Crewman Kk’kkv 03-Oct-21 10:36 PM

*As does the pointman.*

Narrator឵ BOT 03-Oct-21 10:45 PM

*The Borg-less approach thus far has been finally explained. Any Borg that may have normally been in the previous spaces were obviously here now, fighting the attack on multiple fronts from the Odyssey and Athena outside. There are two Borg Drones operating Weapons Consoles on the one side, on the right side of the room furthest away from the Entry Team, while two more Drones are monitoring Weapon Coolant distribution and ensuring the beams are still functioning in the center of the room. A single Borg Lieutenant, for lack of a better word, is supervising the activities to ensure the Control Center received the weapons control they required from behind the first two Drones. When the door wooshed open, the Borg Lieutenant turned their head to see what had happened. The targeting reticle over their left eye narrowed and a green laser pointed right at the large insectoid Pointman.*

Crewman Kk’kkv 03-Oct-21 10:52 PM

*Kk'kkv's face remained blank as she shot that Borg Lieutenant with extreme prejudice and no hesitation. She went into cover.* "Borg!" (edited)

Ensign Hunter Maxwell 03-Oct-21 10:58 PM

*Maxwell wide eyed, grips his rifle, setting a random modulation, scoping out the right side Borg and taking a shot at his head. He tucks and rolls into the room, taking cover behind a crate.* (edited)

Narrator឵ BOT 03-Oct-21 11:03 PM

*Kk'kkv's fire hits the Borg Lieutenant square in the chest. The Borg Shield dropped as soon as the modulated Phaser fire hit it. It is still standing, but the shield is down.* *Maxwell hit the closest Borg at the Weapons console. It's Shield also dropped at the overwhelming power of the Phaser. It turned from the Console and started to advance on Maxwell.* *The two Borg in the center, unrestrained by any immediate task, turn from the cylinders in the middle and face the entrance. They begin walking that way. The other Borg remained at the Console, focused on the task at hand.*

Ensign Joshua Chambers 03-Oct-21 11:04 PM

*Joshua takes aim at the Borg walking from the weapons console and fires on it, aiming at its exposed flesh on its head and neck* (edited)

Narrator឵ BOT 03-Oct-21 11:10 PM

*The Borg on the right advancing on Maxwell takes a projectile round straight to the neck area and dropped. The physical nature of the round eliminated that threat since the Shield had been lowered. There are now two fully shielded Borg Drones in the center of the room, near the cylinders, advancing towards the door and a Borg Lieutenant behind them and to the right, with no shield. The Borg Lieutenant, who had been advancing on the group, appeared to be preparing to communicate the arrival of intruders to the rest of the Cube.*

Lt. Cmdr. Girak Mayott 03-Oct-21 11:24 PM

*Crap! That explains the empty halls and rooms. With a swift jump he crouched down to the side and takes aim at the Lieutenant with his phaser rifle set to kill. If that Lieutenant Borg gets word out that they’re here they might not complete the mission. The phaser is raised, he knows full well his his aim isn’t perfect, but fires at the neck.* (edited)

Narrator឵ BOT 03-Oct-21 11:31 PM

*The shot is a little low and to the right and Lieutenant Borg took a Phaser hit to chest. It burned a hole into the Borg and the Lieutenant dropped lifelessly to the ground before being able to set off the alarms. There are now two fully shielded Borg Drones in the center of the room, marching towards the door they will be in melee range, conveniently, once everyone on the Team has taken their turn.*

Crewman Harry Lynton 03-Oct-21 11:32 PM

*Harry himself was almost halfway through the storage room when he realized that there was a firefight starting up now, and he really couldn't do much. So he stood back and continued to watch everyone's back. But as everyone started to spread out, Harry got a hopefully clear angle to shoot at one of the two remaining borg. He moved the rifle up to his shoulder and changed the modulation, before pulling the trigger aiming for the upper torso.* (edited)

Narrator឵ BOT 03-Oct-21 11:43 PM

*The closest of the center Borg Drones was advancing towards Harry just as he cleared the door. The shot hit him right in the chest and caused him to falter, but not for long. Good thing Kano was right behind Harry and followed up with a searing Phaser shot to the head. The lifeless remainder of the Borg dropped to the ground. There is a single Borg Drone still advancing on the Team from the center of the room. The slow, shuffling pace of the Borg Drone ominous in intent.*

Dr. Amatea Janaii 03-Oct-21 11:47 PM

*12 o'clock, rifle up. The butt fit snug against her uniformed shoulder as she steady-armed the length of her rifle, going for a head shot. No need for scopes when it was practically point blank range, but a quick wink to check the tip sights and she fired away. She added a second double-tap at center mass for good measure.*

Narrator឵ BOT 03-Oct-21 11:49 PM

*The remaining advancing Borg took two shots to the Shield, aimed perfectly for the normal location of a human heart. The Borg's shield drops as it staggers, the well aimed shot stopping the forward momentum.* (edited)

Lt. Cmdr. Sa'val Stryker 03-Oct-21 11:51 PM

*Sa'val entered last, recovering from the distraction that Kano had provided inside the other room. His projectile rifle raised to his shoulder as he entered, his traversed the sights of his rifle as if an extension of his own arm and fires at the chest of the last standing Borg.*

Narrator឵ BOT 03-Oct-21 11:53 PM

*As the projectile impacts with the standing Borg, it spun around and landed face first on the floor, never to rise again. The last Borg, as if finally aware of its surroundings, finally turned from the weapons console and began to advance upon the Team, ready to defend the weapons room.*

Crewman Kk’kkv 03-Oct-21 11:55 PM

*Of course, Kk'kkv would fire upon that Borg with the accuracy expected of an experienced soldier. Taking multiple shots, ideally all pin point.*

Narrator឵ BOT 04-Oct-21 12:01 AM

*The time it took for the previous round of firing allowed Kk'kkv's Phaser to remodulate to prevent adaptation. Her shots are dead on, two to the head and the shield is overwhelmed by Phaser fire. It almost seemed as though the Borg stopped for a second to reconsider the attack in the face of the large inswctoid with excellent marksmanship, but that must have been a trick of the lighting as the Borg continued to advance.*

Ensign Hunter Maxwell 04-Oct-21 12:05 AM

*Maxwell still covered by the crate. Noticing the Borg Drone now focused on Kk’kkv. Would go around the far side, staying out of sight, unsheathed his combat blade. Advanced behind the drone, and attempt to drive his blade into the side of the drones neck, and pull it across the back of the neck.*

Narrator឵ BOT 04-Oct-21 12:11 AM

*The maneuver took time, but as Kk'kkv was setting up and firing her shots, Maxwell made it into position. The combat knife severed the rear portion of the Borg's neck and, once released, the nearly decapitated Borg Drone fell limply to the floor. The team has successfully made it through their first combat engagement with no casualties yet on this side. They stand alone in the Weapons Storage room, alone with their momentary victory. Aside from the door they came in through, there is a small vent in the far corner that appeared to lead into a system of tubes with an unknown destination.*

Crewman Kk’kkv 04-Oct-21 12:12 AM

*Kk'kkv turns to her superior officers for orders.*

Lt. Cmdr. Sa'val Stryker 04-Oct-21 12:15 AM

*Sa'val scanned the room once, rifle at low-ready once again.* "Lead Element, locate our exit options. Chambers, check the map. Kano, see if you think anything can be further accomplished with adding a...surprise or two to this room. Doctor Janaii, if you could collect our Protectee, we will consolidate and prepare to move forward." *Sa'val performed his routine headcount again, sans Arian and Altan, he nodded, stopping to meet Harry's eyes.* "Well done everyone, but keep alert."

Crewman Kk’kkv 04-Oct-21 12:20 AM

*Kk'kkv began to investigate the room, soon attracted to the vent at the corner. She looked at it for a few moments, before turning to get the attention of her superior officer.* "Sir?"

Ensign Kano Extretus 04-Oct-21 12:27 AM

*Kano stepped to one of the consoles, checking to see what can be learned before he makes moves to rig this room to blow as well. He turned back to look at Stryker and gave the man a thumbs up.* *::I can probably do a number on this system to take down a significant percentage of their weaponry, but I think the explosions in this room and next door will take out everything else in here so…maybe we take a few souvenirs for ourselves?:: he shrugged. Sure, Borg tech was possibly a dangerous thing to take back to the ship, but that didn’t mean they couldn’t use the stuff while still in the Cube, right? Use up the enemies’ supplies instead of their own, he figured.* *::With two charges set up within a dozen yards of each other,:: he began while setting up a second polaron charge wired next to what appeared to be some heavy big ordinance, ::and all the weaponry inside this chamber, I would say it’s best if we alter that estimate of a safe distance to closer to three hundred meters before I flip the switch. The chain reaction could definitely expound on the initial explosion. There’s even potential our escape route could be endangered if things go wrong.:: Kano slapped the side of the charge, checking to see that it was secure in its perch, and turned back to the group.* *::Have I mentioned how much fun I’m having? Thanks for bringing me on this field trip.::* (edited)

Crewman Harry Lynton 04-Oct-21 12:28 AM

*As everyone started to investigate the room, Harry himself decided to continue to watch the rear of the column. He knew that something must have gotten through to the collective, and that there was almost no way that they had not be detected. So he continued to watch, making sure their route was clear for the time being.*

Lt. Cmdr. Sa'val Stryker 04-Oct-21 12:41 AM

*Sa'val made his way over to where Kk'kkv gestured to him and turned his head to respond to Kano, out of habit since the Ensign could like hear him whichever direction he faced.* "Unfortunately, Kano, I do not believe there is anything here that is not tied down...and too heavy to move at that. Do what you can, but do not take too long. As you said, the previous charges may be sufficent. Just a little present should be enough here...oh, and make sure you get the souviner videographs at the end of the ride." *Sa'val turned back to Kk'kkv and knelt down next to where she had been looking.* "What have you got, Kay-vee?"

[I] Lt Roderic Altan BOT 04-Oct-21 12:45 AM

*A few moments later, Altan entered the room. His posture was completely relaxed and seemed almost…ambivalent in his stride.* *He looked over the charges with the ever so slight inclination of his eyebrow.* “Is the intent to blow our way to the core.”

Lt. Cmdr. Sa'val Stryker 04-Oct-21 12:48 AM

*Sa'val smirked as he turned his head to appraise the Intelligence Officer across the room.* "You know me, Lieutenant Altan. Everywhere I go, I tend to cause wanton mayhem and destruction. It seemed as though it would benefit us to deny the enemy the use of this room...just as the last one. Though if you see anything along the way that you would like to detonate, please let me know and we can arrange a distribution of charges." *Sa'val turned back to Kk'kkv.* "Go ahead, Kay-vee. What have you got?"

Crewman Kk’kkv 04-Oct-21 12:58 AM

"I found this vent" *Kk'kkv gestures to the vent on the side.* "It is big enough for one to climb through, I suspect part of kind of tube system." (edited)

Lt. Cmdr. Sa'val Stryker 04-Oct-21 01:00 AM

"Without having an effective navigational knowledge of the tunnel system, how effective do you think this option is to get us to our destination in the center? Will you have to take this course alone?"

Crewman Kk’kkv 04-Oct-21 01:12 AM

"Due to the seemingly erratic layout of the cube, I suspect that there will be difficulty to get directly to the target. But it may prove an exellent flank if it does lead to the computer core, or as a way to get towards the center of the cube allowing us to skip corridors of Borg." *There is a slight pause.* "My species . . . natural inclination towards these spaces gives me an advantage to potential scouting. I can have a partner if wished, though it may slow me down." *Kk'kkv is completly transparent and honest with her thoughts.* (edited)

Lt. Cmdr. Sa'val Stryker 04-Oct-21 01:18 AM

"Good thinking. Check the entrance for traps or sensors and prepare to move out. As much as it might slow you down, having you exploring the interior of a Borg Cube alone does not sit well with me. I am sure you can handle yourself, Kay-vee, but I am going to send someone to watch your back." *Sa'val stood up and patted the insectoid on the shoulder.* "Check the entrance and standby to move." *Sa'val walked back towards the group still milling about, watching their corners and waiting for orders to move.*

Crewman Kk’kkv 04-Oct-21 01:19 AM

*Kk'kkv nodded. Her commanders orders entirely logical . . . as it should be. She checks the vent for such sensors or possible traps.*

Narrator BOT 04-Oct-21 03:56 PM

*This Area will now **RESUME**.*

*No traps are present, but it appears that there is a Sensor Module on the entrance grate to detect when it is removed.*

Lt. Cmdr. Girak Mayott 04-Oct-21 04:02 PM

*Once the Borg was dead he lowered his gun slightly so as not to point it at his comrades.* “I’ll watch her back.” *He was volunteering but ultimately it was Sa’val’s call.*

Ensign Hunter Maxwell 04-Oct-21 04:04 PM

*Maxwell cleans his blade with his pants and then returns it to the sheath. He rearms his rifle and heads over to Kk’s position.*

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

*Joshua would stand, the adrenaline rush still going. Finally he was where he felt the most useful. Behind a gun, ensuring the safety of his team.*

*He stands and begins looking around the room, ensuring not only that all the Borg were down and out but to see if there was anything of significance that may be useful to the team*

Lt. Cmdr. Sa'val Stryker 04-Oct-21 04:14 PM

*Sa'val tilted his head to acknowledge Mayott's suggestion.* "I appreciate the offer, Commander Mayott, but I am concerned that your...considerable musculature may prove a hindrance to you in such a confined space. In any case, your supreme skill at protecting our asset...both of our assets, would be better served with the main force." *Sa'val looked at all of the assembled group present and stopped when his gaze turned to Harry.* "Crewman Lynton, I do not suppose you would like to volunteer to crawl around in some dirty tunnels, likely quite drafty, in cramped conditions behind Kk'kkv, would you?"

Narrator BOT 04-Oct-21 04:19 PM

*The Borg are all apparently down for good, the marksmanship of the Team was quite accurate. Nothing can be removed for use, but Chambers can estimate that sabotaging this area will likely hamper Weapons Systems for the Borg Cube along a specific firing arc (likely the one they came in along). A glance at his own map would indicate that the exit on the other end would take the Team to the #probability-generator.*

Ensign Joshua Chambers 04-Oct-21 04:24 PM

"Commander, I would recommend attempting to sabotage this systems in this room. We might buy a little time for the ships by cutting off a portion of their firing power."

*He would then look over his map to gain a bearing for their next move* "Once doing that, we will want to head due North and take that exit. It appears that may be some sort of generator room."

Crewman Kk’kkv 04-Oct-21 04:25 PM

"Sir, there is an entrance module to the vent. It will detect if its removed. Also sir, the Borg I initially shot was heading to that screen." *Kk'kkv points to the location the Borg Lt. Was heading too before it was down.* "May I suggest it be disabled? It looks like some sort of internal communications array."

Lt. Cmdr. Girak Mayott 04-Oct-21 04:25 PM

*He nodded agreeing with the commander and not at all offended by the rejection.* “That would give the ships a better chance. But will that bring about attention to this team?”

Lt. Cmdr. Sa'val Stryker 04-Oct-21 04:35 PM

"Thank you, Mister Chambers. We are going to set some remotely detonated charges in this room...we will set them off upon our exfiltrarion to ensure an exit corridor for our Pilot. While it may assist the Odyssey and the Athena in their fight, it will only be a marginal weak point for them to exploit. I presume this Weapons Center can only cover weapons along a single firing arc. Our attempt to maintain stealth is our priority. The Odyssey and Athena have exemplary Crews who are, no doubt, taking the fight to this Cube." *Sa'val turned from addressing Chambers and Mayott, his decision made, but the weight of the decision was still upon his shoulders. No time for doubt, unfortunately.* "Good eye, Kay-vee. For the Sensor see if you can find a way to spoof it to believe it is still closed when we open it. It may require a delicate touch. Do you want Ensign Extretus to examine it or do you think you and Ensign Maxwell will be able to find a way around it?" *Sa'val turned to the Intelligence Chief, still standing around appearing as though the whole scene was a tiresome exercise for him. Sa'val could not tell if he was more impressed or infuriated by the display, but when he thought about it, he recognized the pillar of leadership the Lieutenant was demonstrating.* "Lieutenant Altan can you check the Console to see if we might be able to further hamper their communications, even temporarily?"

Crewman Kk’kkv 04-Oct-21 04:49 PM

*Extretus looked busy* "I would like Ensign Maxwell's help, please." *Kk'kkv also wondered how Extretus communicated, without a mouth. But this was not the time for such questions.* (edited)

Ensign Hunter Maxwell 04-Oct-21 04:50 PM

*Maxwell looked to the hatch and back to Kk.* “Tell me what you need, Kk.” *He said nodding, and slinging his rifle around his back.*

Crewman Kk’kkv 04-Oct-21 04:54 PM

"We need a way to trick this sensor into thinking the vent is still closed, when we open it."

Ensign Hunter Maxwell 04-Oct-21 04:55 PM

“Can you see any type of sensor box? Wires, laser, trip?”

Crewman Kk’kkv 04-Oct-21 04:55 PM

*Indeed, Kk'kkv examines, what type of sensor is it?*

Narrator BOT 04-Oct-21 04:57 PM

*The sensor appeared to be a typical contact based device which, when one contact moved away from the other an alarm went off somewhere else. One sensor was attached to the wall with a self-sealing stem bolt on top and bottom, and one contact was attached to the grate in the same fashion. No wires can be seen hanging from behind the grate. The rear of the wall contact could not be ascertained. No external wires or lasers were apparent to the visual spectrum (even Kk'kkv's enhanced visual spectrum for low light conditions). That is all that can be discerned at a careful glance.*

Crewman Kk’kkv 04-Oct-21 05:01 PM

"It is contact based, if vent is moved it would send an alarm to someone somewhere else. One sensor is attached to the wall with a sealing stem bolt, and the other attached to the grate in the same fashion. I cannot see a rear wall one, if there is one."

Ensign Joshua Chambers 04-Oct-21 05:10 PM

"Commander, Loorp is aware we are here and is trying to locate us."

Ensign Hunter Maxwell 04-Oct-21 05:11 PM

“K. We’ve got to find a way to keep those sensors in tact. Is it on the side of the hinges or not?” *Maxwell asks Kk, who has a better view then him.*

Crewman Kk’kkv 04-Oct-21 05:12 PM

*Kk'kkv checks for such.*

Narrator BOT 04-Oct-21 05:12 PM

*It is not.*

Crewman Kk’kkv 04-Oct-21 05:12 PM

"It is not, sir." (edited)

Ensign Hunter Maxwell 04-Oct-21 05:13 PM

“Damn.” *Maxwell thinks for a moment.*

Lt. Arian Rhosyn 04-Oct-21 05:14 PM

*Arian would adjust the settings of her scanners and sensors to fixate on Loorp.*

Lt. Cmdr. Sa'val Stryker 04-Oct-21 05:16 PM

"Outstanding news, Mister Chambers. Was Loorp able to provide a...rudimentary description of his location?" *Sa'val tried to maintain his excitement over the news that Loorp was still among them and waiting to be found. He realized the answer to his own question after he asked it, and knew that attempting further communication could risk giving away their position even with the short burst transmissions they were utilizing.* "...belay that. I am confident if he was able to, the Commander would have forwarded that information. Not to worry though, he is a resourceful type. Our Little Trooper will find us. Just keep your eyes open and wits about you...and no one is to fire upon a small squishy creature that possesses the ability to go invisible."

Narrator BOT 04-Oct-21 05:17 PM

*Arian is able to ascertain that Loorp is not presently in the room with them, but the complex walls of the Borg Cube are making longer ranged sensor readings inconclusive.* (edited)

Ensign Hunter Maxwell 04-Oct-21 05:23 PM

*Maxwell suddenly looks up. He looks back to the group.* “Does anyone have any bonding agent, like tape? Something sticky.” He asked in a lowered voice.\*

Crewman Kk’kkv 04-Oct-21 05:25 PM

"Sir?"

Lt. Cmdr. Sa'val Stryker 04-Oct-21 05:29 PM

*Sa'val snapped his fingers.* "Yo, Kano. Do you have any bonding agent in your bag of tricks?"

Ensign Hunter Maxwell 04-Oct-21 05:29 PM

“It’s a long shot I know, but there’s not much we can do about not opening it. What if we set a phaser to low, cut that hatch right here….” *He motions a line up and down right next to the sensor.* “And use a bonding agent to keep it up against the wall. Communicating with the other box.”

Crewman Harry Lynton 04-Oct-21 05:31 PM

*At the comment of crawling into the small tubes, Harry couldn't respond as he continued to stare at the rear of everyone. For a few moments, he continued to scan for the borg. In all due reality, Harry would actually do whatever he needed to do in order to get everyone off of this Cube. He then looked back over to the rest.* "If you need me to crawl into the tubes sir, I will do it. Just give me the word"

Lt. Cmdr. Girak Mayott 04-Oct-21 05:32 PM

*He too keeps close to their location and watches for Borg. The Loorp is close by? That makes it easier for them to find it.*

Lt. Cmdr. Sa'val Stryker 04-Oct-21 05:34 PM

*Sa'val turned to Harry watching the door they had come in through.* "You would be the best suited to cover Kk'kkv in there, but if you do not wish to volunteer someone else will likely do so."

Narrator BOT 04-Oct-21 05:34 PM

*Kano silently came over and provided Maxwell with the Star Trek equivalent of duct tape.*

7

Crewman Harry Lynton 04-Oct-21 05:36 PM

"I will volunteer sir. Just tell me when to hop in and I will go." *Harry in all due reality will starting to accept whatever order was given. Anything to get out of here and make sure that everyone gets out of here quickly and safely.*

Lt. Cmdr. Sa'val Stryker 04-Oct-21 05:38 PM

*Sa'val nodded, impressed with Harry's willingness to volunteer and possibly unaware juat how much Harry may felt 'volun-told' to do it.* "Good man. That means Kay-vee and Harry will be exploring the tunnel. Maxwell once you find the way into the tunnel, you will be taking point for the main force and you will lead us out this other door. Chambers you will be his cover and continue to navigate us. Kano, take rear guard." "Everyone finish your tasks and prepare to move out."

Crewman Kk’kkv 04-Oct-21 05:39 PM

"Sir, what exactly do you wish for me and Ensign Harry in exploration of the tunnels?"

Ensign Joshua Chambers 04-Oct-21 05:40 PM

"Understood, sir" *Joshua would recheck his weapon and move towards the door, waiting for everyone else to finish their tasks and move into position*

Ensign Hunter Maxwell 04-Oct-21 05:40 PM

“Sir, yes sir!” *Maxwell says. He looks to the group.* “I need someone with precision accuracy to help me with this.” *He says after taking the “duct tape”*

Lt. Arian Rhosyn 04-Oct-21 05:43 PM

*With no clear location, she had to be content to know Loorp was near and she returned her attention to the enemy threat. She faced the entrance with her rifle shouldered at-the-ready.*

Lt. Cmdr. Sa'val Stryker 04-Oct-21 05:46 PM

"Good question, Kay-vee. Honestly your previous expertise as a...Tunnel Rat...or Tunnel Bug, if you will, aboard the Odyssey made me think you could find a way to flank the Borg through these Tunnels. You may even find a quicker way to the centralized Processing system than we will find going through this maze of rooms. You may even find some area to sabotage or inhibit in your journey. To be honest, you will have to know it when you find it. I am sending Harry with you because he is one of my most capable Enlisted Personnel and has, according to my Chief Petty Officer, a capacity to think on his feet." *Sa'val glanced at Kk'kkv and Harry in turn.* "If you require an Officer to go with you, I can spare one, certainly, but I have the utmost faith in the both of you."

Narrator BOT 04-Oct-21 05:48 PM

*Someone with precision accuracy may include a Doctor who is both a trained Combat Medic and has worked closely with the Ship's Surgeon. Perhaps @Dr. Amatea Janaii knows someone that fits this criteria.*

Crewman Kk’kkv 04-Oct-21 05:50 PM

"How should we meet back up with the main group, after exploration?"

Crewman Harry Lynton 04-Oct-21 05:51 PM

"I believe Crewmen Kay-vee and I should be able to make it by ourselves, unless the crewmen has an objection sir." *Harry himself moved away to allow Kano to take his position, in order to get closer to the rest of the group. Taking his rifle and slinging it over his entire torso so that it was held snug on his back, Harry was almost just feeling ready to go into the tubes. The idea of him being volun-told did not really affect him, especially since it was a necessary task that needed to be done. If Kay-vee was to get killed by going alone, it would damage the ship and the crew, something he was not willing to take any risks on.*

Lt. Cmdr. Sa'val Stryker 04-Oct-21 05:52 PM

"We should all meet in the center at the Primary Objective. Failing that, rendezvous will be at the #entry-point at Shuttle Apollo. Keep communications to a minimum, but if you need anything, short transmissions should be safe enough."

Crewman Kk’kkv 04-Oct-21 05:55 PM

"Understood, sir." *Kk'kkv looked at the vent, then back to Sa'val* "I would also like more bonding agent incase we come across more sensors in the vents."

Lt. Cmdr. Sa'val Stryker 04-Oct-21 05:57 PM

*Sa'val nodded and gestured for them to take the rest of it when Maxwell was done with it.* "Ensure that you do what you can to avoid any if possible."

Narrator឵ BOT 04-Oct-21 06:09 PM

*Due to Mr. Chambers wanting this to be harder for you all, you begin to notice how you are starting to feel heavier.*

Narrator

*Someone with precision accuracy may include a Doctor who is both a trained Combat Medic and has worked closely with the Ship's Surgeon. Perhaps @Dr. Amatea Janaii knows someone that fits this criteria.*

Dr. Amatea Janaii 04-Oct-21 06:09 PM

"I can help with the vent if you need, I have some experience fitting my fingers in tight spaces." *Oh no, she wholesale said that out loud. This was a combat situation, there was no time for immaturity! Thankfully, everyone assembled was either too focused or too polite to make idle commentary for the moment and she looked to Commander Stryker for permission granted to stray off from the main group.*

Ensign Hunter Maxwell 04-Oct-21 06:17 PM

*Maxwell nodded.* “I’m gonna hold this part of the grate. So it doesn’t disconnect from the adjacent sensor. I need you to cut the vent, here.” *He draws an imaginary line for where to cut.* “Then just need to use this to make sure the part I’m holding remains secure to the wall.” \* He holds up the “duct tape”\*

[I] Lt Roderic Altan BOT 04-Oct-21 06:17 PM

“I could attempt to introduce ambient feedback into their systems to cause some confusion, however the length of time that would require will vary depending on their readiness.” “As well as the length of time the feedback would last.” “It will take roughly five minutes.”

Lt. Arian Rhosyn 04-Oct-21 06:25 PM

*Arian checked and rechecked her status indicators, then spoke aloud to no one,* "The artificial gravity is increasing."

Ensign Kano Extretus 04-Oct-21 06:25 PM

*::Why do you have to be so hot right now? It’s very distracting.:: Kano sent to Mattie privately. He was in the process of setting up another bomb to the detonator. ::Please continue being this hot, by the way.:: he finished, still with enough wherewithal to not broadcast publicly. He walked over to Harry and offered the man the prepared explosive. ::Find somewhere interesting to put this when you guys go in.::* (edited)

"Explosive devices." *She looks at Kano's explosives..* (edited)

Ensign Kano Extretus 04-Oct-21 06:29 PM

*::I have plenty if you’d like to browse, Kk’kkv:: Kano said, unaware that he was unable to speak to her. He patted his satchel and showed her his prizes.* (edited)

Crewman Kk’kkv 04-Oct-21 06:30 PM

*She tilted her head. Not knowing Kano had said anything.*

Ensign Joshua Chambers 04-Oct-21 06:33 PM

*Joshua started to feel heavier, almost as if someone had turned up the gravity for some reason...* "Does... Anyone else feel like they weigh much more than normal?"

Dr. Amatea Janaii 04-Oct-21 06:34 PM

*::I'll distract you harder later, for now, focus on blowin' this hellcube up, sugar booger.::* *She quipped back, making sure to not even give Kano eye contact as she walked over to Ensign Maxwell. Brandishing a laser scalpel from one of the many pockets on her tactical pants, she unclipped the safety and clicked the rotator on the bottom, rather like a tube of lipstick, to not only turn on the bright blue haze of the laser, but up it's intensity as high as it would go. There was a soft hum coming from the instrument as she stepped closer to the point that Hunter had indicated.* "Alright baby, hold for me on that side n' I'll hold this side." *She murmured, leaning in with swift, intentional motions, cutting along the imaginary line that Hunter had indicated with marked proficiency of someone who very obviously did this for a living.*

Lt. Cmdr. Sa'val Stryker 04-Oct-21 06:35 PM

"What is the probability of detection if you are able to accomplish that task as outlined, Lieutenant Altan?" *Sa'val turned to Mattie briefly.* "Please just gain them access to the Tunnel, Doctor. I would prefer for you to remain in the main group." *Sa'val just then noticed what Chambers had observed.* "Something might be wrong with the Borg inertial dampening...or they wanted an extra workout." (edited)

Ensign Hunter Maxwell 04-Oct-21 06:36 PM

*Maxwell holds the piece of vent with the sensor. Grateful to have a doctor doing the cuts. He didn’t want to lose any digits today.*

[I] Lt Roderic Altan BOT 04-Oct-21 06:43 PM

“It will be dispersed and eventually tracked to this console. That does not include the five minute time frame given.” “Given the nature of the Borg in this universe, I cannot estimate how long it will take them, but we should have enough time to retreat prior to their arrival, once I am finished.”

Lt. Cmdr. Sa'val Stryker 04-Oct-21 06:44 PM

"Your assessment is sufficent. Make it so. Once you have completed the task we will make our way forward."

[I] Lt Roderic Altan BOT 04-Oct-21 06:48 PM

*He produced a pad, as well as a thin sheet of what appeared to be a foldable, glass like material that he stuck on a nearby wall.* *Next, he produced a cable connected to a thumb sized box that appeared to be Borg-stimulant tech. From the box came another wire, which he attached to the console’s Borg-port.*

*The thin screen on the wall began to show binary code, however it swirled like a clock rather than descent as one would expect.* *He began to rotate the code with his left hand while scrolling through his PADD’s screen.*

Crewman Kk’kkv 04-Oct-21 06:51 PM

*Kk'kkv looks to crewman Harry, then Sa'val.* "Sir, what if we made our sabotage in order to divert attention to us and off you?"

Narrator BOT 04-Oct-21 06:56 PM

*As soon as the connection is made, the Borg Console turned an eerie red, and appeared to be ready to lock up as it analyzed the attempted connection as Altan carefully rotated the code. Within seconds, however, the selected coding appeared successful as the Console realized that it was an older code but it still checked out. The Borg central system is not altered to his machinations.* (edited)

[I] Lt Roderic Altan BOT 04-Oct-21 06:57 PM

*He began to speak, or sing rather, under his breath.* “The cactus plants Are tough on pants Deep in the heart of Texas That's why perhaps They all wear chaps Deep in the heart of Texas” *After a few more moments, he disconnected his devices, and re hid them amongst his harness.*

Lt. Cmdr. Sa'val Stryker 04-Oct-21 06:57 PM

"That is an excellent idea, but you must ensure that you are not caught during the process. Do what you can...find things to destroy outside of our normal path of travel. Be aware that you may set off alarms, but if you do so outside of our path, it may be beneficial to us...as long as you can safely get out of the area before they respond. Good thinking, Kay-vee."

Crewman Kk’kkv 04-Oct-21 06:59 PM

*Kk'kkv nods.* "If I find anything of importance, I will attempt to destroy it." *A slight pause* "I will also like to know your expect path of travel."

[I] Lt Roderic Altan BOT 04-Oct-21 07:00 PM

*He nodded at Stryker to signify that he was finished.*

Lt. Cmdr. Sa'val Stryker 04-Oct-21 07:01 PM

*Sa'val gestured to Chambers.* "Josh, over here. I want to make sure they are all set on the path we are taking." *Sa'val glanced at Altan in time to see the nod. Sa'val nodded back, his countenance a flick of gratitude for the hasty work.*

Crewman Harry Lynton 04-Oct-21 07:02 PM

*Harry had taken the bomb from Kano and put it into his own pack, a fun surprise for the Borg later. He then made sure to wait for the order to go through to start climbing, although he was confused why the one combat medic was being brought with them. He wouldn't dare question the orders, but also it was confusing for a moment, knowing that if there was an issue, that the medic may be better in terms of being in the entire group. But those same reservations were just internal, nothing to question the legitimacy of the officer class.*

Lt. Cmdr. Girak Mayott 04-Oct-21 07:03 PM

*Mayott was about to answer Chambers but froze when the light turned red…..then back to green, okay, we’re good. His head turns away from Altan as the other sange some country song. It wasn’t that he’s a bad singer, Mayott didn’t want any distractions to keep him from hearing something coming their way.* (edited)

Narrator BOT 04-Oct-21 07:04 PM

*Just then the entrance is surgically opened by the Doctor and no apparent alarms are set off. There is plenty of room for Kk'kkv and Harry both to enter when needed.*

Crewman Harry Lynton 04-Oct-21 07:06 PM

*As soon as the entrance was surgically opened, Harry almost immediately made his way to the entrance and stood nearby. He would most likely take the rear in this operation, to protect any VIPs, as well as making sure that he could hold off the borg if it came out to it. Looking back to the rest of the group for a moment, almost like he was taking a picture of them and the room. Just to make sure they went to the right room at the end of the day if shit hit the fan.*

Lt. Arian Rhosyn 04-Oct-21 07:06 PM

*Arian was, as she had been, a statute. Perfectly still and silent as she continued to guard the entryway. She had no input, letting the two commanders lead.*

Dr. Amatea Janaii 04-Oct-21 07:06 PM

*Mattie pulled back with a quick, shaky sigh. She'd put on a good face, but the mere idea of her setting an alarm off and alerting the entire hive of what they were doing terrified her. But for the moment? It looked like all was A-Go. She looked to Hunter and gave a quick smile and a wink.*

Crewman Kk’kkv 04-Oct-21 07:07 PM

*Kk'kkv awaits the order to enter the tubes as point man once again.*

Ensign Joshua Chambers 04-Oct-21 07:09 PM

"Sir, it appears we will be heading straight on from here through this door." *He gestures to said door due North.* "From there I am not sure but it looks like it might be a right turn, bearing 090 but I will know more once we advance."

Lt. Cmdr. Sa'val Stryker 04-Oct-21 07:10 PM

*Sa'val nodded.* "That is as good of a direction as any. Do you have all that? Any further questions or concerns, Kay-vee, Harry?"

Crewman Kk’kkv 04-Oct-21 07:14 PM

"If we stumble upon the computer core before you I will comm you . . . I suggest the same be done if you arrive to it before us." *She looks to Lynton, taking some of the tape, and giving whats left back.* (edited)

Crewman Harry Lynton 04-Oct-21 07:14 PM

"I don't have any questions sir" *Harry himself then grabbed his phaser pistol, knowing that the rifle would be too clunky to actually carry through the tubes. The pistol would act as an immediate reaction and once they actually got into a room, he then would use the rifle. Hopefully the Kukri would not be needed, Borg blood would probably scar him for a good long while.*

Lt. Cmdr. Sa'val Stryker 04-Oct-21 07:16 PM

*Sa'val nodded.* "Agreed. Neither Team will breach the core prior to ensuring everyone is in place." *Sa'val looked at both of them and patted them on the shoulder one at a time while looking them each in eye...for Kk'kkv he chose a pair of eyes.* "Then good luck to you both. Keep yourself safe and do not take any unnecessary chances. Carry on."

Crewman Kk’kkv 04-Oct-21 07:16 PM

*Kk'kkv nods, then goes into the t u b e s, expecting the fellow crewman to follow.* (edited)

Crewman Harry Lynton 04-Oct-21 07:17 PM

*Harry nods, and as soon as Kk'kkv starts to go into the tubes, he then follows the crewmember into the t u b e s.*

Ensign Hunter Maxwell 04-Oct-21 07:18 PM

*Maxwell nodded. He taped up the sensor. And carefully withdrew his hands making sure the sensor didn’t fall. Once he knew it was secure. He gave Sa’val a thumbs up.*

Lt. Cmdr. Sa'val Stryker 04-Oct-21 07:18 PM

*Sa'val watched the two of them go until they disappeared into the #tubes and then turned to Maxwell.* "Ensign Maxwell, stack up and prepare to move. Chambers fall in on him." *Sa'val waved with his arm towards the door that would lead into the #probability-generator.*

Ensign Hunter Maxwell 04-Oct-21 07:39 PM

“Copy that.” *Maxwell lines up against the door, waiting for everyone to fall in before he opens it.*

Dr. Amatea Janaii 04-Oct-21 07:45 PM

*Locking the safety mechanism back onto the laser scalpel with a soft few clicks, Mattie looked down and pocketed the tool wordlessly, straightening herself once more to ensure all of her equipment and field kit were securely attached. Regrouping and un-holstering her phaser once more, she aimed her phaser low-ready and pointer on the side, following suit with the rest of the team.*

Ensign Hunter Maxwell 04-Oct-21 07:56 PM

*Maxwell opens the door and swings his rifle into the room.*

Narrator BOT 04-Oct-21 08:04 PM

*The rest of the Team had stacked up behind the lead element when Maxwell began the breach.*

Ensign Hunter Maxwell 04-Oct-21 08:09 PM

*Maxwell holds a fist up, to the team. He turn and mouthed “Borg”, he remains in the doorway, indicating the Borg don’t know of their presence.*

Lt. Cmdr. Sa'val Stryker 04-Oct-21 08:13 PM

*Sa'val pointed to Hunter and Chambers, in turn, pointed to the door, and ran his thumb across his throat in a silent indication that the lead element was to enter the next room and eliminate the opposition in a stealthy manner if at all possible.*
