*After...whatever that was...the show opens again. The Combat Intervention Team bursts through the door, rifles ready for anything. Each member files in and covers their specific zone of fire. At the exact same time on the opposite side of the room, Kk'kkv and Harry (with Loorp tucked safely in his backpack) burst out of the tunnel, ready to annihilate any Borg on their side of the room. The ferocious force is ready to annihilate the entire Cube's worth of Borg... ...but the room is completely empty.*

*Maxwell, looks around.* "Empty? K I'm not liking this, where are the bulk of their forces?" (edited)

Ensign Joshua Chambers 05-Oct-21 03:16 PM

*Joshuas heart races even more than it already was* "This cannot be good... We should probably do what we need to do and move out."

Lt. Cmdr. Girak Mayott 05-Oct-21 03:18 PM

*Yeah he wasn’t expecting this at all. Why would they leave this place so defenseless? He continued to have his rifle raised for an attack but wasn’t seeing any signs of movement.* “Somethings wrong here.” *He finally said while rolling his shoulders quickly.*

Ensign Hunter Maxwell 05-Oct-21 03:18 PM

*Maxwell, scans the room with his rifle, keeping his comrads out of his scope. This didn't feel right.*

Narrator឵ BOT 05-Oct-21 03:19 PM

*Maxwell’s scans show only the mission team are in the room. Yup, they are alone.*

Ensign Hunter Maxwell 05-Oct-21 03:21 PM

*Maxwell's heart rate increases. They had only seen a handful of Borg, and he knew for a fact the Borg knew they were on board.*

Ensign Joshua Chambers 05-Oct-21 03:22 PM

*Joshua waits for the rest of the team to enter before kneeling by the door and holding security, ensuring no one was going to follow them in or sneak up on them* "Commander, whats the play here? This is definitely not what we were expecting. Where are the Borg?"

Ensign Kano Extretus 05-Oct-21 03:23 PM

*::This is beginning to be more worrying than relieving that we’re so alone in here.:: Kano’s rifle slowly went down to hang at his side and he reached for his satchel of explosives. After rifling through it he glanced over to the rest. ::I’m out of the big boys after this one, then it’ll be lower yield toys.::* (edited)

Crewman Kk’kkv 05-Oct-21 03:24 PM

*Kk'kkv clambers down, having one of her lower arms held against the side of her lower abdomen, the area around it stained in a strange greyish color.*

Ensign Joshua Chambers 05-Oct-21 03:27 PM

*Joshua would rest his weapon against the wall, using it to steady it as he stretches his wrist and arm. His gun felt much heavier than normal and it wasn't helping his already injured wrist*

*Maxwell looks back to the group.* "We need a medic over here!" @Dr. Amatea Janaii

Lt. Cmdr. Girak Mayott 05-Oct-21 03:29 PM

*Mayott gets closer to the group and lowers his weapons.* “Let’s stay together.” *He looked at Kk’kkv and the wound, ouch that looks like it hurts. Hopefully Mattie can fix that.* “Good work Crewman, we’ll get you fixed up.”

Crewman Harry Lynton 05-Oct-21 03:29 PM

*Harry quickly clambered down with Kk’kkv, and the sight of no borg was quite a surprise. There had to be some sort of trap, a way for the borg to ensnare their enemies. The borg were not stupid enough to not allow them to ruin all of their work. No way possible,*

Ensign Joshua Chambers 05-Oct-21 03:31 PM

*Joshua stands up and walks back to the group, keeping his head on a swivel. He stands next to Harry, awaiting their next order*

Narrator BOT 05-Oct-21 03:39 PM

*A view screen activated for all to see: The Athena succumbing to it's attackers onslaught, and exploding from within, obliterating most of it as fragments floated silently in space.*

Ensign Hunter Maxwell 05-Oct-21 03:39 PM

*Maxwell looks to the screen. His mouth dropped open. Staring in awe.* "The..Athena...shes......."

Lt. Cmdr. Sa'val Stryker 05-Oct-21 04:49 PM

*Sa'val had begun to give his orders...* "Get up to the Console...make sure to check it carefully for traps, use a Tricorder, then get Altan interfaced with it. This is obviously a trap, but if she is going to dangle our Objective in our face, we can at least show her the error of her hubris. Maxwell start..." *That was when the View Screen activated. The first thought was T'Pel's presence aboard the ship...then the rest of the crew...Vale, Caleb, Vax, Cerred... It took him a second to compose himself. Whether this was a trick...or reality...they had to push. Now, even more then ever, they had to extermine this Borg Queen and her infestation. She would pay dearly for what she had done...and he would pray that the Crew had all had time to transport off...* "Focus, Maxwell. Mission First. For all we know...they..." *A pause as he had trouble speaking.* "Charlie Mike." *Was all he was able to choke out. It was said with emotion, strange for all to hear from him.*

@Crewman Harry Lynton )

Ensign Joshua Chambers 05-Oct-21 04:52 PM

*Joshua gasps, unsure of what he just saw. That couldnt have been real... There was no way... Its just the Borg playing mind games and trying to stall for time*

*As Commander Stryker spoke, it sounded different from his usual tone. It worried the Ensign to his core.*

Lt. Cmdr. Girak Mayott 05-Oct-21 04:59 PM

*Seeing the Athena get blown to bits put a huge ache in his chest. He lowered his rifle and shook his head frowning while holding back his own tears. All he could think about was all the crew members he knew and cared about who are now dead. Of course, in Mayott case, when saddened or scared his emotions are quickly masked and morphed into anger. He turns away from the protection hearing Sa’val’s choke and stands up straight hiding his own sorrow. Sa’val just lost the love of his life, he knew that pain and how crippling it can make you feel. He decided to take some weight off Sa’val’s plate and get everyone focused.* “Alright, you heard him, let’s move!”

Ensign Hunter Maxwell 05-Oct-21 05:01 PM

*Maxwell quickly shook off the feeling, to the best of his Ensign abilities, and secured the room with Chambers while everyone else did what they needed to.*

Crewman Harry Lynton 05-Oct-21 05:03 PM

*As the sight of the Athena started to be shown almost like a taunt to the crew, Harry for a moment was completely shocked. He could not move and almost did not hear all the orders being given out. Had they failed in getting to this fast enough? Had Harry done something to ruin the entire operation by being slow or letting the borg attack in the tubes be a way to not allow the rest of the team to get there in time? But he snapped out of it. At this exact moment, it was time to get this mission done. He could contemplate any sort of inherent failures after the mission. But for Harry, he immediately took his rifle into his hand and quickly moved to the rear to take up that guarding position. It was the only thing he could do.*

Lt. Cmdr. Sa'val Stryker 05-Oct-21 05:10 PM

*Sa'val had to get a grip on himself. The Team needed him. T'Pel appeared in the back of his mind, urging him to prepare them, to be ready to fight. He hoped that was not a bad sign...he shook his head to clear the stinging sensation and mustered all he could to utter in his best command voice:* "Form a protective ring around Lieutenant Altan. Push forward to the Center. We are going to end this once and for all. Good man, Harry, keep our six covered. Everyone rally on the Processing Core!" *Sa'val held his rifle in the air and waved his left arm forward to encourage them on.*

Crewman Kk’kkv 05-Oct-21 05:10 PM

*Kk'kkv squinted, but the rest of her face remained blank - she'd scamper over, and rally on the processing.*

Borg Queen BOT 05-Oct-21 05:11 PM

"Due the the escalated heart rates...I shall assume you did not like my gift for you."

Ensign Joshua Chambers 05-Oct-21 05:11 PM

*Joshua wipes a tear from his eye and raises his rifle, securing the entrance. At hearing both of the Commanders orders, he starts to form a ring around the Lieutenant*

Borg Queen BOT 05-Oct-21 05:12 PM

"I thought everyone liked Fireworks."

Ensign Joshua Chambers 05-Oct-21 05:12 PM

*Joshua startles at hearing the Queen speak. He scans the room, unsure of where the voice is coming from*

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

*He starts to form the protective circle. Maxwell grits his teeth when he heard the voice of the Borg Queen. A scowl shows on his face. He didn't dare speak out. He just wanted to put a few rounds in the dear Queens Head. He gripped his rifle tighter, and glanced around looking for the source of her voice* (edited)

Lt. Cmdr. Sa'val Stryker 05-Oct-21 05:25 PM

*Sa'val turned to cover his zone of fire, but his head kept swiveling around, looking for the target of his ire. The one that he was determined to pay back.* "You know, it is only fair for us to repay the favor...why not come on out and we will prepare an even bigger fireworks show for you." (edited)

Borg Queen BOT 05-Oct-21 05:26 PM

*The soft voice chuckled,* "I have my own fireworks lined up. There is still another ship to destroy."

Narrator BOT 05-Oct-21 05:27 PM

*Harry’s scan wouldn’t give him any clue as to where she physically is but while the Queen’s voice echoed in the room a large group of Borg appear out of the shadows in the room.*

Klingon Borg BOT 05-Oct-21 05:27 PM

*This group blocked the main entrance, the way out.*

Human Borg BOT 05-Oct-21 05:27 PM

*Out of the tunnels and other areas came this group facing the crew, their green eyes shinning in the dim lights.*

Borg soldier BOT 05-Oct-21 05:27 PM

*And another group blocked all other areas, in fact the entire crew was surrounded and hopelessly outnumbered.*

Ensign Hunter Maxwell 05-Oct-21 05:27 PM

"Like hell you will." *Maxwell mutters* "Contacts!" *He shouted as the Borg finally showed their ugly fgaces* (edited)

Lt. Cmdr. Girak Mayott 05-Oct-21 05:28 PM

*Mayott bares his teeth and goes over by Altan. They have to succeed, if not for the Athena crew, for the Odyssey.*

Crewman Harry Lynton 05-Oct-21 05:30 PM

*Harry, once the order had been given to withdrawal back to the rest of the team, holding his position that allowed him to point back to the main entrance where the rest of the team had come through. And then the borg horde started to make their way towards the grouping. This meant that it was going to be a bloody fight. His finger on his trigger just waiting for the order to start to provide a barrage of rifle fire towards the borg.*

Ensign Joshua Chambers 05-Oct-21 05:30 PM

*Joshua drops to one knee as he takes aim at the group of Borg blocking the door* "Of course this bitch wouldn't show her face" *He says quietly*

Borg Queen BOT 05-Oct-21 05:33 PM

"I wanted you to feel accomplished. Like you have done your best before you die. But you are foolish to think I will let you succeed in your plans. I will offer you this one chance...Two choices. Choose assimilation and we will not destroy your ship, or Choose death and we kill every. Single. One. Of. You." *A pause lingered for a short moment,* "What say you?"

Ensign Hunter Maxwell 05-Oct-21 05:37 PM

*Maxwell rolled his shoulder back, fear had completely left him at this point, he was fueled now with anticipation. Anticipation for the first shot, for the gauntlet to drop.* "Everyone gets out of here alive. But that didn't mean you." *He muttered to himself, as he carefully lined up a target on one of the Borg Drones. Holding fire, finger off the trigger until the order was given.*

Crewman Kk’kkv 05-Oct-21 05:38 PM

*Kk'kkv readied herself, her wound dressed by Janaii.*

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

*Joshua grips his rifle tighter* "She can't be serious right now..." *He whispers*

Ensign Hunter Maxwell 05-Oct-21 05:46 PM

*Maxwell looks to Chambers, for a brief moment. He breathed a small laugh* "It's a good day to die, eh? Brother?" (edited)

Ensign Joshua Chambers 05-Oct-21 05:49 PM

*Joshua looks to Maxwell with a smirk before turning back* "Couldn't be better. How about we take a few of these bastards with us, yeah?"

Ensign Hunter Maxwell 05-Oct-21 06:01 PM

*Maxwell grins and nods* "Sounds good to me."

Lt. Arian Rhosyn 05-Oct-21 06:03 PM

*She had been very silent and very robotically focused for the entire endeavor. Even after seeing the Athena's destruction, she held her composure and maintained her status. But now that the Queen was mocking them, and the drones were pouring in, from both of her gray eyes came a line of tears. They ran down her cheeks until they reached the anti-Borg armor fabric.* *More lost loved ones. More of her friend's names to etch into the Memorial Wall. She slowly slung her rifle behind her back and stood there empty-handed.* (edited)

Lt. Cmdr. Girak Mayott 05-Oct-21 06:15 PM

*Mayott presses his back against Maxwell and whispers.* “No one is going to die….not without a fight.” *His grip tightened in his rifle as he looked out into the large group of borgs. The Queen must be getting a kick at them, probably watched them the whole time.* “I’m not going to be assimilated, not today, not ever.” *He positioned his gun and looked at Sa’val, if the other wasn’t going to answer the Queen he will.* “…wait for it officers…”

Ensign Hunter Maxwell 05-Oct-21 06:16 PM

“Hoorah!” *Maxwell responded loudly to Mayotts comment at the queen. He shifted, scope lined perfectly on one of the drones eye piece.* (edited)

[I] Lt Roderic Altan BOT 05-Oct-21 06:17 PM

“I need room to fire.” *Altan’s statement was a simple frost that could have left his mouth in a hail of mist if physics adhered to his tone.* *What came next was uttered in a low tone.* “I am aware of my status, but corralling me makes my personage apparent.” “We need all available hands as well. I am capable of keeping myself alive.” *The scene from the Athena served only to etch his intent into the stony face of his resolve. He would repress that; and think on the fallout later.*

“When my phaser is no longer operable, I will retreat to the centre of the circle as ordered.”

Lt. Cmdr. Sa'val Stryker 05-Oct-21 06:23 PM

*Sa'val spoke softly, but ensured that everyone in the circle could hear him.* "We fight to the Processing Console in the center of the room to ensure Altan can do his duty. We got him this far and we are going to deploy that Virus. Everyone spread out. Pick your targets in your sectors. Give Altan some room to fight. We all make it out of here." *Sa'val picked his target.* "You are the one that is going down, Queenie. For Athena!" *Sa'val opened fire, on the Borg Queen if he can see her (if not a Borg Drone with a bright green ocular implant aimed right at him), a signal for everyone to bring the hurt in the enemy.*

Ensign Kano Extretus 05-Oct-21 06:27 PM

*At the sight of the Athena exploding, Kano’s mind went into shock. The Borg Queen speaking to the from somewhere, her soldier drones, the whole scene was just something happening in the background. His body moved without his input, the rifle snapping up to take aim at one of the Klingon Borgs. It was Altan’s words about running out of ammo that brought Kano’s mind back to the here and now. ::Don’t worry, everyone,:: he said so that all who were able to hear him could do so. ::When we run out of ammo, I’m going to show her my fireworks:: Sa’val’s cry for Athena and his firing that brought Kano the permission he’d been waiting for. Without hesitation he fired off two shots into the face of the Klingon Borg he’d been aiming at. If it fell, he’d pick up firing at the next, if not, he’d keep shooting until it tell for good. ::For Athena!::* (edited)

Narrator BOT 05-Oct-21 06:29 PM

*Turn order will begin now, for reference it is pinned in #rp-requests.*

Narrator឵ BOT 05-Oct-21 06:35 PM

*As the crew fired a few Borgs in the front row fell to the ground. The Borg behind them didn’t seam phased at all as they marched forward.*

Klingon Borg BOT 05-Oct-21 06:35 PM

*There was enough Borg for them to not be concerned with blocking the officers from escaping.*

Human Borg BOT 05-Oct-21 06:35 PM

*This group of Borg also headed in the middle towards the shooting group, it was slightly bigger and faster then the ones by the door.*

Borg soldier BOT 05-Oct-21 06:35 PM

*A group of larger, heavier set Borgs moved forward. These Borgs have sharp metal weapon where their right arm should be. This group has been made for destroying.*

Borg Queen BOT 05-Oct-21 06:37 PM

*The Queen usually conducted herself with grace and poise, which was odd for a Borg. There was a sensual air to her. She had a fluidity of motion, and she dropped from the ceiling, landing with a bent knee before Sa'val. His rifle aimed behind her got off it's shots just before she stood and knocked the gun away, punching him in the chest and knocking him back. A soft smile set on her lips as her silvery reflective eyes locked firmly onto him.* "Excellent choice."

Crewman Kk’kkv 05-Oct-21 06:47 PM

*And so it goes . . . so it goes. These Borg will soon see what happens if you back a Kxhhrit'k to a corner. Kk'kkv prepared and Kk'kkv prepared, waiting . . . almost acheing to the order to be given. A primordial rage bubbling inside her mind, her face remained blank, but her eyes concentrated. She had complete and total searing hatred for this disgusting excuse of 'life'. She shall enjoy doing what damage she can, as she had before. When the order was given, Kk'kkv fired her rifle, and went further into an already a prepared stance, also equipping her bayonetted musket if they come to close. She aimed her shots at the larger Borg, the Borg with metal weapons for there arms. With accuracy expected of a lifetime of soldiering. They would no doubt target her, so she will do the same, with the advantage of range.* (edited)

Borg soldier BOT 05-Oct-21 06:57 PM

*Yes this group went for the big Kkkv. Her shots took down a few before the shields adapted to her bayonet. They’d advance on her and try to jab at her body.*

Lt. Cmdr. Girak Mayott 05-Oct-21 06:57 PM

( @Ensign Hunter Maxwell )

Ensign Hunter Maxwell 05-Oct-21 07:00 PM

*He smiled. This is what he was waiting for. Maxwell released his safety and fired. Aimed at the Borgs eye piece. Once the shot was off he quickly modulated the phaser for the next shot.* (edited)

Klingon Borg BOT 05-Oct-21 07:08 PM

*Since Hunter was modulating, as soon as the Borg adapted they’d fall victim to his shots. Many are very accurate, he must have been practicing. However this group start to move faster, ignoring their fallen comrades.*

Ensign Joshua Chambers 05-Oct-21 07:12 PM

*Joshua heard the battle cry and opened fire with his rifle, unloading into whatever Borg decided they wanted to be in his direct line of fire* "If Im going down, you are too, asshole!"

Dr. Amatea Janaii 05-Oct-21 07:41 PM

*Mattie, having had no time to heal Kk before the Borg drones were upon them, stood nearby the enormous Kxhhrit'k giving complimentary fire- but also nearby intentionally so that once the fire fight had stopped, she could quickly heal Kk and they could bounce the absolute hell out of here. The phaser rifle she carried had very little kick-back, allowing her to rapid-fire shoot at the Borg drones that descended upon their party.*

Human Borg BOT 05-Oct-21 08:05 PM

*Five Borg went down as more we’re practically on top of them. Two Borg went up to Chambers and tried to grab his rifle away.*

Lt. Arian Rhosyn 05-Oct-21 08:13 PM

*As she stood there empty-handed, her eyes stared ahead unfocused, while the tears ran down freely. She was preparing. Non-essential systems and operations were being suspended to facilitate more power to combat functions. Diagnostic checks for optimal performance were conducted and verified. Adjustments for the gravitational changes and other factors such as ambient temperature and ventilation flow were factored into her combat program. The combat program would be adjusted and altered for close quarters engagement with multiple foes. The typical statistical run-down of Drones was calculated in.* *All her processors and circuitry were opened fully, the data crunching already ratchetting up the computers maximum capabilities. If she were a different sort of machine, at this point her engine would rev and roar. Instead, she just began to scan the entire scene, taking in every detail from running her rapid intake of sensor and ocular/audio information.* *Arian had people she cared for still, alive. Some of them were there in this room, about to die. That was her final thought before she fully released her emotional dampeners. Frothing wrath flooded into every part of her compartmentalized living-mind. Agonizing anger peaked her senses and she was instantly enraged. Her jaw dropped and she screamed, her vocal chords assisted by digital enhancements, sounding her war-cry as if from a speaker-amplifier.* *With explosive speed, she sprinted out to meet a group of Drones. The antiBorg armor was being heavily relied upon as she launched herself into them, tearing into them with her bare hands. Every kick, every punch, every grappling act was done with absolute ferocity and using maximum power levels. The energy she exerted from every movement was producing several hundreds of pounds of force. She would strike, kick, grab, rip, crush, and inflict harm as fast as her body could manage, betting on high offense to overcome the need for defense with these slow, clumsy Drones.*

[I] Lt Roderic Altan BOT 05-Oct-21 09:25 PM

*Altan raised his EVA-Type 3 phaser rifle to eye level as he moved to stand shoulder to shoulder with Lieutenant Girak. That is where he stopped. The echoes of their last outing against the Borg were not lost on the young augment; he turned to Lieutenant Commander Mayott, and gave him a familiar nod.* “I will cover you, and you will do the same for me.” *The Commander would likely recognise his own words. This time, it was more a promise than a plan. A promise that there would not be a repeat of what happened in hallway-22.* *The EVA Type-3 phaser was sent to cast phaser bolts rather than the normal phaser beam. It was set to kill, and each bolt would alternate beyond the upper and lower thresholds of the kill setting to offset the Borgs adaptive shielding for as long as possible.* *He was no longer wielding the Federation weapon of mercy. He was wielding an instrument of death; one he applied with deadly accuracy.* *His left eye gazed down the sights like a giant peering beyond the confines of a castle gate for the silhouettes unfortunate humans within.* *The right was a barrelman atop a mast; picking targets from the crows nest, and painting them with killer intent.* *He did not bother to watch the Borg fall as his shot robbed them of life, for his attention and phaser snapped immediately to the next target. Killing them brought him little joy, they were fodder in comparison to the havoc he would wreak on the collective when his virus ravaged their subroutines and introduced them to the fear and terror of being assaulted by an unknown enemy.* *This was the thought that kept the ferocity of his emotion in check. He would remain quiet, and dispatch the Borg with dispassion and disdain.* *His true goal lay beyond this wave of assimilated bodies.* *Come hell or high water; he would reach it.*

Klingon Borg BOT 05-Oct-21 09:33 PM

*The Borg didn’t pause when Arian came barreling into the crowd. If they were more conscious of what was going on around them they’d flee for their lives. But alas, they continued onward, a ton of them now going for Arian, even when she was tearing them apart. Metal and flesh was being torn as they fought harder. It was as if they were stronger and faster than before. Looks like the Queen has been busy while the Odyssey hid in the nebula.* *The Borg fell to Altan’s shots but they were getting dangerously close. Hand to hand combat would soon follow.*

Lt. Cmdr. Girak Mayott 05-Oct-21 09:49 PM

*Mayott nodded and shouted at Altan against the chaos.* “Right! I’ve got you!” *Every shot wasn’t precise but he didn’t care. He kept the rifle up and tried to change the pattern so they couldn’t adapt fast enough. By this point he was beyond sympathy for the Borg. It didn’t even matter if they could have been his crew members, he wanted them all dead. This was a dangerous state of anger that was hard for him to control. All he could think about, besides the pain that was rising in his shoulders, was the people he’d just lost, and he was tired of losing those he cared about. TPel was his first real friend on the ship, Vale, he called his sister and was honored that she trusted him after her dark history. Even Vax, the Trill whom he was sure would cause all kinds of headaches but ended up growing on him was dead. He’d fight for them and get revenge. The odds were against them, he knows they’ll die but at least he’ll take a lot of them with him.*

Crewman Harry Lynton 05-Oct-21 09:53 PM

*As the horde of Borg started to make their way towards the group of potentially doomed Star Fleet officers, Harry started to fire as well. He knew that despite the fact that he could get a few shots out, every should would have to count before the Borg would be on him. The loud thump heard from the alterication between Sa'val and the borg queen was very much present as he was close to Sa'val, yet the horde of borg was a little bit more important. Harry ensures to change the modulation in order to provide those few shots that he could, hoping to go specifically kill those going after Kk'kkv. Those were the most dangerous borg, those who can decapitate even Kk'kkv herself. All concern was brushed aside in order to get focused for battle, and of course the protection of poor Loorp.*

Human Borg BOT 05-Oct-21 10:00 PM

*The Borg are now close enough for hand or hand combat. Two of the Borgs go for Harry without hesitation.*

Ensign Kano Extretus 05-Oct-21 10:59 PM

*The proximity of the Borg coming ever closer to the point that they were, as they were always going to be, within melee range was no something that Kano was actively worried about. Sure, in the dark recesses of his mind the thought of fighting a living hive mind in powerful exoskeletons was potential for a nightmare; but actively he was calm and collected. He had to be. Panicking was just the fastest way for everyone to die. And he had to stay calm just in case he needed to take this section of the Cube out. Even if it meant they had to go with it. He fired shots at those that were still far enough away, but the moment two went for Harry, Kano turned and leveled a full powered kick into the side of the closest Borg. Strong enough to dent a titanium plate, he had no idea how the Borg would react to such a kick. But hopefully it would more or less even the odds for Lynton.* (edited)

Human Borg BOT 05-Oct-21 11:03 PM

*Since the narrator has lost track of what Borgs are against whom this shall be the new Borg icon for all. The swift kick from Kano did knock the Borg back against another Borg tripping them both up. The second Borg by Harry turned to Kano and swings its metal arm across the alien’s jaw….if Kano wasn’t quick enough to duck or move.*

Lt. Cmdr. Sa'val Stryker 05-Oct-21 11:06 PM

*The TR-116 rifle clattered from his grasp, the force of the strike formed a crack in the stock as it tumbled out of his reach. The fight continued around them as Sa'val was pushed backwards. He staggered back into a crouch, but refused to fall. His eyes never wavered from the target of his rage, the reason they had all had to suffer, the reason T'Pel had been subjected to even more anguish. This Borg Queen would perish...and it would be slow and painful. Nonetheless, Sa'val continued shouting orders.* "Remember the Objective! Fall back in bounding cover. Keep your distance whole you can..." *It may have been too late. The Borg were almost upon them. Sa'val's right hand shot to the handle of his Ka-bar sheathed on his left shoulder. With an audible swish, the blade was loosed, the black duranium/titanium mix glinted as Sa'val flipped the handle around in a flash of motion and held the blade in a reverse grip, blade down from his fist, the sharpened edge facing out. Sa'val swung the knife experimentally a few times, making invisible figure eights in front of himself. His left hand extended out towards the Borg Queen, palm up. He bent his fingers in a 'come on' gesture, beckoning her to join him in the combative dance in which he was determined to emerge victorious.* "Well...come on, Queenie, you are not getting any younger." *Sa'val lunged forward. He swiped the blade diagonally upwards, aiming for mid torso to the to the Borg Queen's face.* (edited)

Borg Queen BOT 05-Oct-21 11:44 PM

*The Queen was confident they would wear them down, but she wanted to fight. It was not often...rather had not been available for a long time, and this one was very eager.* *He swiped at her and she jumped back, narrowly avoiding the blade, or so she though. She looked down to the slight hash in her suit and her smile grew,* "I see why she liked you..." *Quickly she spun, throwing a leg up to sweep at his head.*

Crewman Kk’kkv 06-Oct-21 12:01 AM

*Kano's quick thinking allowed Kk'kkv to devote fully to the Borg approaching her. Less then before, but there strength was also great, there stabs accurate, coordination impeccable. So Kk'kkv blocked and blocked amd ducked back. For being so large, Kk'kkv was still nimble, but they began to overwhelm her. She began to take steps back, still blocking . . . No. Kk'kkv minor retreat turned into an offensive, where Kk'kkv forced her way back forward. She herd Rhosyns war cry, and she also saw her offensive to the Borg. She saw them focusing on her, attempting to surround her. Kk'kkv does not allow this, Kk'kkv will not allow her friend to be alone while surrounded. Kk'kkv WILL not allow these Borg to cause her further retreat. Kk'kkv used her sudden momentum, and continued. She did not relent. She did not hesitate. From one to the next to the next she would rip, stab, or otherwise eviscerate and harm the Borg. She put in her total energy, using all the techniques and lessions and suggestion she's learned from a lifetime of soldering. Going as fast, and as efficiently as she possibly could. Her mind in total fury, righteous anger, while her body remained composed. Totally focused, vigilant. It was not elegant, but it was efficient, and that's what mattered.*

Human Borg BOT 06-Oct-21 12:16 AM

*Now that the Borgs are pushing past their dead three of the closest Borg lunge towards Kk’kkv all at once to overwhelm her. One swings at her right leg, trying to avoid her slashing, while the other two aim for her head; not just to assimilate but to perhaps kill her. Not only are these Borgs stronger but more aggressive.*

Ensign Hunter Maxwell 06-Oct-21 12:29 AM

*Maxwell pulls slightly back due to the order of Sa’val. Giving him a bit of time to reload his rifle. His heart rate high, however he kept his hands steady as he scoped out the approaching threats. Taking a shot and modulating his rifle. A bead of sweat runs down the side of his face. With their backs figuratively against the wall, he moved with remarkable speed, however even his speed couldn’t keep back the impending hordes.*

Human Borg BOT 06-Oct-21 12:31 AM

*Hunter was a good shooter but the Borg have something no one in this crew had, nearly endless amounts of drones. The cube was full of them. Soon enough the mission crew will tire, run out of room and the Borg will be the victors. For now, all they can do is press on. One Borg was now at an arms reach away from Hunter and, taking its bladder arm, chops quick at the front of Hunter’s rifle. Sparks fly as it then slashes at Hunter’s shoulder leaving behind a long wound.*

Ensign Joshua Chambers 06-Oct-21 12:35 AM

*Joshua jabs the front of the rifle into the nearest Borg and pulls the trigger before dropping it and grabbing for his knife. The long, thin blade slashes through the air as he tries to slice and stab the Borg before they are able to grab him*

Human Borg BOT 06-Oct-21 12:38 AM

*The shot dropped the Borg to the ground while another was too close and got slashed by Josh. It staggered back, pushing the others behind it off balance and three Borg fell backwards like dominos.*

Dr. Amatea Janaii 06-Oct-21 12:47 AM

*It was here that Mattie had to decide between giving extra firepower, or dropping position and healing the wounded. She saw blood fly near Maxwell, her instincts driving her towards the fresh scent of iron in the air..but they're already surrounded. Any take-away on their part would only give the oncoming drones an advantage, another step forward. She would have to wait for a good opening to heal Maxwell correctly. Taking a few steps closer to the injured party member, she doubled down on her efforts, stepping beside, and then in front of him to allow the security officer a few moments of reprieve from his slash wound to gain use of his senses and get back to shooting.* "How bad, Hunter!?" *She called out among the piercing shrieks of phaser-fire.*

Human Borg BOT 06-Oct-21 12:50 AM

*Fighting so close to Kk’kkv can be dangerous, especially when the tougher Borg are sent to stop the giant bug. Mattie killed and seriously wounded few more drones before she managed to duck away. They left her alone for now since all they want to do is assimilate or squash the bug.*

Lt. Cmdr. Girak Mayott 06-Oct-21 01:02 AM

[Borg]: As the Borgs got closer he opened another round and finished his cell. Man these things are relentless! When a Borg got too close he raised the end of his rifle and thwacked to hard, cracking that bald skull.\* “How’re you holding up Lieutenant?!” *He shouted as he replaced the dead cell with a new….take that back, his last cell.* “I’m down to my final one.” (edited)

Crewman Harry Lynton 06-Oct-21 01:23 AM

*As he continued to fire at the hordes of drones continued to pour in, Harry almost at the last moment realized two of those drones were moving towards them. Close enough to touch him, close enough to assimilate him. A goal that he will not allow to happen, although his reactions will probably seem extremely clumsy.* *As the first drone made it into his close view, Harry took the rifle in his left hand and tried to with all of his might to bash the borg in the head with said rifle butt. While doing this, he grabs his kukri from its holster and in a moment of absolute desperation slashed at the two borg, just silently praying that this move will give him enough time to reorient and just shoot them.*

Ensign Kano Extretus 06-Oct-21 01:24 AM

*Between the intensity of the situation and the increased gravity, Kano was not the best fighter he’d ever been. Despite all that, Kano slipped under the swinging weapon of the Borg and easily slammed the butt of his rifle up into the lower jaw of what used to be a Klingon. His Fong’Lai snaked up to slam full force into the Borg’s face a heartbeat later and attempted to hook the head and drag it to the floor. His mind raced as he aimed his rifle and fired at the joints of another Borg, looking for the VIPs to see how well protected they were in the moment. He saw Altan and Mattie are not only doing fine, but taking the fight to the Borg just as hard. Impressive on all fronts. ::Mayott!:: he called, taking a cell of his own and tossing it to the Cardassian. Of all the officers here, Kano had used up the least ammo so far. He could afford to share for now.* (edited)

Lt. Arian Rhosyn 06-Oct-21 01:30 AM

*Her berserker antics were not fueled purely by emotion. It was a tactical endeavor.* *She intended to become a problem. She wanted the enemy to think they needed to focus on her and dump more resources on stopping her, so that the intelligence Chief could accomplish his task. She wanted to draw fire off of them into her. The best way to do that was to cause massive carnage.* *So she caused massive carnage. She leapt into the air, danced around them, and slid underneath them between their legs. She was nimble and agile in a way that was unnatural. She constantly maneuvered and gave them no chance to put a static Target on her, yet all the while she struck and engaged. Every attack landed, and every attack was either fatal or incapacitating. Her servos were overloaded and she was expelling heat at a rate slower than she was building it up. She would continue this, hoping to draw the enemy away from the rest of the team.* *When Kk'kkv joined in, Arian would adjust to fight in tandem with her. It was akin to having a dance partner, freestyle. She attempted to coordinate with her to accomplish the highest degree of enemy elimination possible.* (edited)

Human Borg BOT 06-Oct-21 01:46 AM

*After the Borg dominos regain their footing and Harry’s successful rifle bash happened, a freakishly large Borg, (probably a Klingon that was defending its honor to the death) lifted its metal arm and swooshes it down on Harry’s head.* *Kano, with his graceful agility smacks the Klingon Borg and successfully wraps around its neck. While the Borg is being pulled down its cones up and slashes at Kano’s Fong’Lai.* *The Borg are having a difficult time landing many successful blows to Arian. She’s so fast, strong, and down right determined to mow through them. The mission crew’s armor and fabric in general was preventing them from piercing through the skin to inject the nanites. While the fight continues, and the crew begins to show signs of fatigue#, the virus is finally and successfully in the system.*

Narrator BOT 06-Oct-21 02:16 AM

*Expertly, Altan's final piece to his mother of "fuck you'd" to the Borg was laid in place. It was shortly followed by specks of purple light being emitted from the mass of Borg in the halls. Borg turning against Borg.*

Lt. Cmdr. Sa'val Stryker 06-Oct-21 02:37 AM

*Sa'val raised his left hand to block the kick, but the power behind the strike slammed into him and spun him around. He followed the momentum through and turned the fall into a combat roll, lowering his left shoulder to the ground and somersaulting over it. He landing in a kneeling position, knife still in his right hand. That was when he noticed the din and the confusion in the Borg ranks. Something was happening. She had seen it too and had turned to look at it. While she was surveying the turning tide of the battle, Sa'val sprung to his feet and closed the distance with her back turned to him. Sa'val placed his left hand on her shoulder, steadying his target as he leaned forward so she could hear him whisper in her ear:* "She was more of a Queen than you ever were..." *In a fluid motion his right hand buried the Ka-bar into the back of the Borg Queen's neck. Once the blade had been driven home to the hilt, he twisted violently in a counter-clockwise direction, severing the spine from the brain, and attempting to eliminate the Borg threat once and for all. A universe of Borg for the life of his beloved T'Pel. Even then, the price was no comparison, but at least the wretched being that had terrorized her would be no more and could hurt no one else.*

*She had indeed turned to see the loss of her control being ripped away from her. Horror spreading across her face for the first time in likely a very long time.* *Before the knife was buried into the back of her neck. A sparking coming from inside her skull, illuminating her eyes, nostrils, and mouth.* *Finally, she fell to her knees, then over onto the floor. Twitching, lifelessly.*

Narrator BOT 06-Oct-21 02:59 AM

*In the mass of Borg still glowing green and still fighting, Kk'kkv would score more hits. Her prior injury slowed her, but she was still deadly and effective. Arian was over expended and beginning to show signs of overload-stress. Her movements were slightly less fluid. Thermal controls were failing, and her body was overheated. The Borg were not the only threat, as a support beam was crumbling due to the shear amount of stray phaser shots that had hit the far wall.* *Above, a structure the size of a Buick was coming lose, and the vibrations were sensitive to Kk'kkv's underground evolutionary biology. It was the vibration of impending tunnel collapse, and she felt it. If she heeded it, she could notice the structure about to fall, directly above were Arian was holding a big Pakled Borg in place with her hands while she kicked it apart with her legs hunk by hunk. The cyborg was unaware of the structure's collapse above, which happened right then, with a loud **snap** of the support strut breaking.*

Crewman Kk’kkv 06-Oct-21 10:32 AM

*For a minute, Kk'kkv and Rhosyn fought together in perfect tandem. A symphony of violence and destruction continually cascading. Achieving elimination after elimination after elimination after elimination. Kk'kkv would settle for no less. The violence was extreme, without hesitation Kk'kkv ripped apart Borg necks and arms and backs, there blood coating the floor in greyish matter. Kk'kkv herself was getting increasingly dirty, the viseria staining more and more of her anti Borg armour. But she did not relent, she allowed her primordial violence and hate flow through herself, utilizing her evolved skills. Never letting up, never giving the Borg opportunity to recover, it was a sight to behold. Rhosyn had Kk'kkv's back, and Kk'kkv had Rhosyns. It was nothing but total efficiency. Battle sisters - like the Earth warriors or old. But then she felt it. A primordial feeling that Kxhhrit'k have felt since time immemorial. The vibration of an impending collapse, a feeling Kk'kkv has felt close only once before. A collapse that would occur directly over her friend.* **No.** *So, Kk'kkv shouted, at the same time the strut snapped.* "Rhosyn!" *Without taking a moment, she stepped forward, and then leaped. Dive tackling her friend to safety with absolute force and absolute determination to save her friend, or die trying.* (edited)

Narrator BOT 06-Oct-21 10:46 AM

*Arian escaped the falling structure by mere inches due to the valiant and selfless act of Kk'kkv. What was left of the Pakled Borg fell to the wayside.* *Kk'kkv was not as fortunate. She did not clear the structure. There was an awful and gut-wrenching crunch as the structure cracked and crushed the exoskeleton shell of her back legs.* (edited)

Lt. Arian Rhosyn 06-Oct-21 10:53 AM

*It took her maybe a second to register and process what had happened. She was on the floor and didn't know why. Scrambling to her feet she saw all too suddenly what had happened, with the crewman lying partially pinned under the structure.* *Tactical theatrics were over. She clamped her emotional dampeners back down and the sharp look of anger faded instantly into a stoic neutral expression. Arian stepped over and knelt down to lift the structure off Kk'kkv's legs. She violently twisted her back in order to throw the structure into a small crowd of Borg that were closing in. She was still overheated and it was affecting her mechanically, especially in the joints. She was bleeding and damaged underneath the armor, as the Borg did land blows.* *Arian wordlessly scooped up the giant bug in a modified fireman's carry, holding Kk'kkv across her shoulders holding her in place with one hand, drawing a handheld phaser with the other hand and immediately beginning to fire as she hauled the wounded warrior back and away, towards the rest of the group.* (edited)

Ensign Hunter Maxwell 06-Oct-21 10:55 AM

“Gaahhh!” *Maxwell reeled back from the Borg blade* as it cut cleanly through his shoulder muscle and collar bone, and left a sizable wound down the left side of his chest, soaking his armor and uniform in his blood. *He couldn’t move his left arm at all. He kicked up, at the Borg who sliced him, grabbed his type 2 phaser and shot that Borg in the eye piece. Now on the ground he scooted backward, continuing to fire at the coming onslaught. He called out in answer to the doctor.* “I can’t move my arm!” *He yelled over the phaser fire. As he continued to modulate and fire his pistol phaser to the best of his now limited abilities. When the structure cracked, he looked in horror as it fell on top of Kk. He couldn’t do anything. Once Arian had removed Kk from the debris, he continued to fire and scoot backwards toward Janaii, holding in the immense anger he now felt.* (edited)

Ensign Joshua Chambers 06-Oct-21 11:03 AM

*Joshua felt relief watching the Borg fall like dominoes. He reaches down for his rifle as he hears the scream from Maxwell, just off to his side. He takes his eyes off of the Borg in front of his and rushes toward Maxwell, dropkicking the closest Borg, knocking it backwards. He jumps to his feet, unloading the magazine of the TR-112 rifle he has become so accustomed to using. After unleashing a torrent of firepower, he drops his rifle and pulls out his phaser, unloading that as well into whatever remained in front of him*

Dr. Amatea Janaii 06-Oct-21 11:09 AM

*Mattie gave a guttural curse as the enormous metal structure overhead dangled and collapsed before she or any of the others could react. This was a lot of damage in a short time, the drones were gaining in numbers and momentum and if they didn't move out soon- they might actually suffer a fatal casualty on the combat team. Passing on fire and lowering her weapon once Arian had attended to Kk, Mattie fell back and rushed to Maxwell, dropping to her knees beside him and unzipping her dermal re-generator and a hypo-spray from her tactical belt. She wasted no time with the formal niceties that she normally gave, instead taking Hunter by the jaw and leaning his face away from her to ensure his carotid hadn't been sliced. Once sure the wound wasn't immediately fatal and that he wasn't going to bleed out- she injected the hypo-spray and began to run the deep dermal re-generator over the bloody slice wound of his collarbone and chest. Her hand, coated with the red of his blood still gripping his jaw to keep him still while the ball of her hand pushed the two pieces of meat together to be mended.* "Just enough to get you functioning, we ain't got the time to make it pretty!"

Crewman Harry Lynton 06-Oct-21 11:38 AM

*The quick strike of the rifle seemed not to do enough for anything except to disturb the borg. As soon as he realized that it was too late, his Kukri was swiping at the other borg, and the collision of skull and arm hit with a unremarkable thump. In Harry's mind, he can hear the cracking of skull and all the wonderful reactions that come after the fact, but to the others all that happened was just the unremarkable thump. With that, his hands immediately dropped his weapons onto the ground with a loud clutter before consciousness faded and he just slumped onto the ground. Face first mind you, as to protect Loorp in his backpack.*

Loorp BOT 06-Oct-21 11:53 AM

*Loorp was jostled around a bit but it knew not to go out during this fight. Those bigs out there are really scary. After hearing a loud thump it felt it’s first big fall forward and be still. Uh oh…what’s wrong with its first big? It poked its little head out of the pack and patted Harry’s back with a tiny hand.* “First big okay?” *When another Borg came close it ducked back into the backpack, went I visible, and curled into a little squishy pink ball.*

[I] Lt Roderic Altan BOT 06-Oct-21 11:57 AM

*He had made it to the processor. It had not been a simple feat either. He had fought tooth and nail beside his colleague to reach this point.* *His katana had been in one hand, his phaser in the other, and in conjunction they worked, hand in hand as every battōjutsu strike was paired with a close range shot from his type two phaser.* *When he had made it to his destination, he had left his Katana embedded between eyes of a slumped Borg for safe keeping.* *He had worked quickly and added the supplementary virus to their system.* *He waited, and watched as the symphony of Borg excellence came to a halt after the jarring crash of the insidious Intelligence program.* *He stood and observed the handiwork of his department.* *All was well.* *He withdrew the katana from his adversaries skull, and returned to his colleagues.*

Lt. Cmdr. Girak Mayott 06-Oct-21 12:16 PM

*Mayott had caught the cell Kano threw, put it in the rifle, and started firing again at whatever Borg came close. The large crash from the ceiling caused him to turn his head to see what was happening and It only took a second for him to register that Kk’kkv had been crushed under the weight and was probably dead. He gasped and turned his head back to the fighting only to be met with a Borg that smacked its metal arm across the side of his head. He shouted and was thrown onto his back by the sheer force. Luckily for him the helmet took most of the blow but there will for certain be a huge bruise on his face and neck. Eventhougb his head was pounding, and there was the taste of his own blood in his mouth, he slashed at a Borg before noticing the changed.* (edited)

Human Borg BOT 06-Oct-21 12:20 PM

*Near the back by the entrance a purple ocular colored Borg walked over to one of its companion and injected it before going for another. The injected Borg, also turned purple, went on doing the same. Within seconds there was a ripple of purple through the Borg crowd that completely replaced the ominous green. After all the Borgs had changed they turned and left the room to go find more Borgs. The mission crew are finally free to leave.*

Ensign Hunter Maxwell 06-Oct-21 12:43 PM

*Maxwell grimaced and groaned as Mattie tried her best to patch him up in a combat situation. Through the pain however he managed to say.* “Good, I wanted to keep the scar anyway.” *When the phaser fire suddenly stopped Maxwell was surprised, however he couldn’t really see nor comprehend what was happening since Mattie had her hand forcing his head into the ground, and the pain was overtaking his body.*

Lt. Cmdr. Girak Mayott 06-Oct-21 12:49 PM

Narrator: *Arian, still carrying Kk’kkv of course, went over to check on Harry since he was out cold. Seeing that the Ensign was still alive she easily scooped him up with her other arm and over her shoulder like a sack of potatoes.*

*Sa'val placed his boot on the back of the deceased Borg Queen as he bent down and grabbed the hilt of the Ka-bar and unceremoniously pulled it from the corpse. He wiped the blade on the back of the almost neoprene fabric of the deceased Queen, removing the contaminants before sliding it back in its sheath. He stood and located his rifle, picking it up and examining the damage. That was when he heard the rumbling. He looked over to watch the ensuing carnage. Kk'kkv, Maxwell, and then Harry. Arian had collected Kk'kkv...but then Harry went down. In a blur, Sa'val made a beeline for his downed Crewman, recklessly charging to his position. Sa'val watched at the Borg approached Harry and raised his rifle to protect his fallen comrade. Three successive shots plunged towards the enemy's chest and head. Sa'val was entirely fixated on his aim.*

Borg BOT 06-Oct-21 02:16 PM

*One of the Borg fleeing the assimilation of purple had headed straight for Stryker, raising it's arm up and bringing it's bladed limb down, slicing into his shoulder. Green blood spurted a little, but the Borg fell to the floor as a Purple Borg had caught up with it, tackling it to the floor to bury it's nanites into it's neck. The Borg of green flailed as the nanites started to take hold. The look on it's face reminiscent of having been in that position before.* *Then the light turned purple and it calmed. Then together, the Two Borg went off to assimilate more together.*

Lt. Cmdr. Girak Mayott 06-Oct-21 02:43 PM

*When the borgs left Mayott removed his helmet, and seeing that his officer Max was being cared for, rushed over to check on Saval. The wound was bleeding but not profusely, he could get treated in the shuttle.* “Everyone, head for the shuttle!” *He called out to the others before spitting a glob of his own blood to the side.* “Commander let’s go.”

Narrator BOT 06-Oct-21 02:45 PM

*For the sake of not posting in all the rooms the crew will go through #hallways before seeing the shuttle.*

Ensign Kano Extretus 06-Oct-21 02:46 PM

*Kano’s fight with the Borg, prior to their purplification, had gone fairly well; save for the fact that the Borg, in its last throes of battle, had lashed out and sliced a gash across about a foot and a half of Kano’s Fong’Lai. Blood oozed out of the wound, and his appendage reflexively curled on itself, attempting to hold the cut closed. ::You metal Bastard!:: he shouted only to the falling Borg before putting three shots into its face. He turned, searching for Mattie in time to see debris crash down on Kk’kv. Shocked for a moment that the creature had fallen so, he noted Rosyn on the other side of the debris. ::What in the world?:: He was dumbstruck as he literally watched Altan’s virus spread through the Borg, consuming all that were too slow to escape. It was a couple moments before the warm, wet sensation running down the back of his neck reminded him of his problem. Good thing his uniform was red. ::Yep, let’s get out of here so I can get the party poppers popping.:: he hefted his gun again, took a step and wobbled. He needed to hurry and finish before he was truly too dizzy to move.* (edited)

Ensign Joshua Chambers 06-Oct-21 02:59 PM

*Joshua was still in shock at seeing the collapse and hoped Kk'kkv was ok. And as if that wasn't enough, he watched Commander Stryker get sliced open. He can already see the nightmares... He prepared to run to the Commanders aid when Mayott got to it first. After hearing Commander Mayott yell for everyone to return to the shuttle he offered Maxwell a hand to help him up* "Looks like there is no reason to die today, brother. Lets get off this hellhole and get home. I don't know about you but I need a drink."

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

Dr. Amatea Janaii 06-Oct-21 04:24 PM

*Perfect. If he felt good enough to talk, he felt good enough to move. Releasing his jaw, she gave him a soft pat-pat on the cheek and shuffled away from him to allow Joshua to help him onto his feet. Tucking her dermal re-generator and hypo-spray back into her tactical belt clips, she hopped back onto her own booted feet with a heavy 'thump' and readjusted. Not long after, the order to head out was given and she unclicked her rifle from it's holster against her back, aimed low-ready, and moved out.*
