Borg Cube / tubes

Narrator BOT 29-Sep-21 11:28 PM

*A short, narrow, tube leads from #weapons-storage to the central part of the Cube.*

Crewman Kk’kkv 04-Oct-21 07:25 PM

*Kk'kkv enters the tubes, and she blinks multiple times to adjust to the darkness - making full use of her ability to see infrared. Crawling as she is too big to crouch, unlike Harry, she scampers forward with ease. She has been in these spaces many times, and it felt natural to her, it would feel completely safe, if it were not for this being in a Borg cube. There were probably activity in these tubes, likely used for maintenance, so Kk'kkv kept herself fully aware of what is to come.*

Crewman Harry Lynton 04-Oct-21 07:32 PM

*Harry himself entered the tubes as well, and the darkness required him to stop for a moment. After his eyes started to slowly readjust, he started to walk behind Kk'kkv. The weight of himself and the pack started to his his ankles, but he wouldn't worry about it. Seeing Kk'kkv almost thrive in this set of tubes was an interesting revelation, especially since he had not spoken to Kk'kkv before. Step after step was the hope not to disrupt the borg too much, it is a 230 pound man stomping in maintenance tubes, not including the weight of his pack.*

*Inside the tubes the air was hot and muggy with not a lot of light to see except a dim green glow every 20 feet or so. There was a bend in the tunnel ahead where a Borg had part of the metal wall removed to repair the wires.*

Crewman Kk’kkv 04-Oct-21 08:05 PM

*Kk'kkv peers from the bend, and seeing that Borg she reers back, putting her hand up as a signal to Lynton. She speaks as quitely as she can, just audible to Lynton.* "Borg." *There is a momentary pause.* "That Borg is doing maintance work, it didi not notice me . . . we could conduct an ambush."

Crewman Harry Lynton 04-Oct-21 08:08 PM

"Best action to take would be to ignore the borg is possible, but if there is no way to do that. Then we ambush attack almost simulatenously and eliminate the borg. Your call." *Harry almost ran into Kk'kkv when she had stopped and started to reer back, almost falling as a result. In all due reality attacking the borg was something he wanted to do, but tactically speaking it would drag the attention towards them. Probably a good idea, but also it was two compared to the rest of the group that had at least eight guns.*

Crewman Kk’kkv 04-Oct-21 08:11 PM

"It is in our direct and currently only path, eliminating it is necessary." *Kk'kkv looks around for a moment, before spotting a loose panel just before the bend.* "I can make that panel fall to get it's attention, it comes here, when close enough I snatch it, and rip it apart. You keep phaser readied in case more come."

Crewman Harry Lynton 04-Oct-21 08:15 PM

"Understood, if more than two borg start to come, I do advise retreat. Unless you have a preference for getting your hands dirty" *Harry himself took his phaser and pointed it towards the end of the tubes that he can see. If more borg were to come over, then he would be able to hit them with a barrage of precise yet probably inefficient attacks. Borg technology was something he feared more than anything, something easily able to adapt and made federation tactics almost unviable in all due reality.*

Crewman Kk’kkv 04-Oct-21 08:18 PM

"I have no issue eviscerating Borg." *Kk'kkv shuffles a little, and that already loose panel falls down.* *Hopefully attracting the Borg's attention.* (edited)

Borg drone BOT 04-Oct-21 08:25 PM

*The Borg has been ordered to repair this area and was doing a good job at it too, but a sound in the hall caused it to stop and turn. Time to investigate the suspicious sound. The tunnels are tight but this drone has worked here dozens of times so it has no problems heading their way.*

Crewman Kk’kkv 04-Oct-21 08:34 PM

*Kk'kkv waits, waiting for her pray to inch closer, and closer, and closer . . . The Borg would stumble upon a fallen panel, no doubt loosened due to the violent battle occurring in space. But before that Borg could make that logical analysis, grey appendages grappled it's arms with obsessive force, and yanked it violently from the bend the panel was just before. With her quarry ideally where she wanted, Kk'kkv would try and rip the Borg's neck apart using her lower claws, not allowing it time to react. There was no hesitation, and Kk'kkv used her strength. This was Borg, not the time for half measures.* (edited)

Crewman Harry Lynton 04-Oct-21 08:37 PM

*Harry continued to watch down the small lining of the tube, understanding that he needed to watch for the borg. Seeing Kk’kkv using her full force almost made him relieved that she was on their side, and not on the side of the borg. Harry kept his arm firm, to make sure that if there were more borg, then at least they would get a fight out of him.*

Borg drone BOT 04-Oct-21 08:53 PM

*The Borg didn’t stand a chance. It was take off guard, neck violently ripped apart and dead in seconds.*

Crewman Kk’kkv 04-Oct-21 08:53 PM

*Kk'kkv places the body to the side.* "Ready to move on, Lynton?"

Crewman Harry Lynton 04-Oct-21 08:55 PM

“Yes. On your mark we move forward. Thank God you are on your side” *Harry then slid the phaser back into his holster. He knew he could pull it out in a moments notice and he needed to keep his balance. And oh boy was his calves starting to feel some of the burn. But no matter, the mission took precedent. Nothing else could stop them from causing havoc.*

Crewman Kk’kkv 04-Oct-21 08:58 PM

*And thus Kk'kkv resumes scampering forward, further into the tube system. Keeping her eyes focused, and claws readied.* *Kk'kkv makes sure to go a diffrent route then the main party, giving it distance, but still towards the center.* (edited)

Narrator BOT 04-Oct-21 11:05 PM

*Up ahead was the sounds of movement, metal on metal along with whirling of tools. Looks like two more Borgs have entered the space sent to replace the borg from before.*

Crewman Kk’kkv 04-Oct-21 11:13 PM

*Borg again. She raised her hand - moving more to the right for Harry to have space to aim. She still spoke quietly.* "We can't hide, open fire when I do-" *So Kk'kkv raised her phaser, on a diffrent modulation to Harry* (edited)

Crewman Harry Lynton 04-Oct-21 11:15 PM

*As the clanking of metal could be heard and Kk'kkv started to move over, Harry knew what he needed to do. Keeping the current modulation on his phaser, he raised and as soon as he did this, he maintained his composure for now, just waiting for the ringing of the phaser to start firing.* (edited)

Crewman Kk’kkv 04-Oct-21 11:17 PM

*And thus Kk'kkv opened fire, at the one at the right.*

Crewman Harry Lynton 04-Oct-21 11:20 PM

*And with that, Harry held down the trigger, firing a shot at the borg on the left. Hopefully it would hit the mark squarely upon the chest of the borg.*

Human Borg BOT 04-Oct-21 11:31 PM

*The Borg on the right was surprised, though it didn’t show on his face, but it’s shoulder was scorched by the furring before a shield came up.*

Borg soldier BOT 04-Oct-21 11:32 PM

*The left Borg was shot twice and was injured more severe than the first but it too kept coming. Even as it staggered it’s shield was now up protecting it from the shots as well.*

Crewman Kk’kkv 04-Oct-21 11:34 PM

"Switch targets." *Kk'kkv remodulated her phaser, and fired upon the opposite target.*

Crewman Harry Lynton 04-Oct-21 11:49 PM

*Harry then quickly started to change the modulation on his phaser. He bumbled for a moment before raising the phaser and firing at the right borg. The borg most likely know they were there now.*

Human Borg BOT 05-Oct-21 12:02 AM

*There’s something different about these two Borgs, yea they’re injured but the firing isn’t having much effect on them. The first one gets close enough to Kk’kkv that It swings It’s bladed arm into an uppercut motion and goes to jab her in the armpit.*

Borg soldier BOT 05-Oct-21 12:02 AM

*The second Borg also goes for Kk’kkv, since she’s the most dangerous, and aims It’s assimilated tubes close to her neck.*

Crewman Kk’kkv 05-Oct-21 12:08 AM

*Having 2 sets of arms has proven very useful at this moment in time. Kk'kkv would grapple the undercut with her lower arm, using her superior strength to pull it aside and rip it's neck open using her upper arm. With her other 2 free arms, she'd yank those tubes away from her neck, repositioning herself for Lynton to continue to have clear shot at that Borg, phaser or otherwise.* (edited)

Crewman Harry Lynton 05-Oct-21 12:10 AM

*Harry himself almost sees the full night of Kk’kkv being unleashed upon the borg. As soon as she repositioned herself so that he could get a shot, he would fire another shot, just hoping and praying that it actually killed the borg. He hadn’t done enough, and he couldn’t force Kk’kkv to do it all alone.*

Narrator BOT 05-Oct-21 12:15 AM

*Kkkkv is strong but not strong enough to kill them both before the second Borg swiftly jabs at her lower left shoulder between her armored plating while she killed the first. Before it could do detrimental damage Harry’s shot made its mark and the Borg flops down dead next to the first. Kk’kkv would notice that her hot bodily fluid (whatever they may be) are squirting out her new wound from the fight.*

Loorp BOT 05-Oct-21 12:22 AM

*Loorp had ducked into a tight spot as he noticed Borg. When he emerged, he saw a familiar black and red and the tall bug big he had seen around. It was his frens! His little legs padded in spot excitedly just before he left through the air, landing right on Harry's sweaty face,* "First Big!!!! I found you! They said you would come and you here!!!"

Crewman Kk’kkv 05-Oct-21 12:24 AM

*She looked down and blinked. Unfortunate, Kk'kkv's blood seeping into her suit. Then Loorp completely threw her off.* "o-" *Kk'kkv almost raised it's phaser, but then she realized, and tilted her head.* "Loorp?" (edited)

Loorp BOT 05-Oct-21 12:29 AM

*Loorp was so happy he kept dancing on Harry's face, catching him in the eye a time or two,* "I found. We go home now? Is just you?"

Crewman Kk’kkv 05-Oct-21 12:30 AM

"Yes. Soon. We need to place some explosives down in a room for distraction uhh. Then computer core, then home." *Kk'kkv taps her combage* (edited)

Crewman Harry Lynton 05-Oct-21 12:43 AM

*As soon as the borg were dead, Harry saw the injured part and immediately started to take off his pack and rummage for the emergency medical pack. If his time at basic had taught him anything, it is how to dress a wound for enough time before a medical officer could come and heal the injury. He starts to wrap the wound, not really knowing the anatomy of Kk'kkv, although he was still pretty tired and started to make sure that proper Starfleet procedure.* *And as soon as he finished up, Loorp moved to his face and for a moment he wasn't even aware that anything had happened. The blur that had landed right on his face started to reorient. And he froze, not knowing if some Borg creature had started to get towards his face, so much so that at first he did not hear anything that Kk'kkv had said.* "What the fuck?!" *As he says this, Loorp had confused the ever living shit out of him. Not only had he not seen Loorp in months, but also the fact that he is able to actually to speak was something he was not prepared. That statement above was in conjunction with a somewhat of a voice crack, but the words were just said. The hitting of the eyes a few times made him flinch, but he started to finally calm down. Now he needed to speak to Loorp.* "Goodness Loorp, you scared me. We are here to get you out, but it will take a little bit longer."

Crewman Kk’kkv 05-Oct-21 12:46 AM

*Kk'kkv frowns a little as the bandage Lynton wrapped began to burn up. Kk'kkv took it off safely before much more could occur, and moved her lower arm to cover the wound.* *She currently did not feel it's pain, but the injury was present. The Borg had hurt her.* (edited)

Loorp BOT 05-Oct-21 12:47 AM

"I hear! I get! I stick to you." *Loorp moved to Harry's shoulder, his usual perch with T'Pel, and sat happily.*

Crewman Harry Lynton 05-Oct-21 12:57 AM

*As the Loorp just moves over to his shoulder, he looks over to the creature for a moment. Most likely just blissfully happy to see people who are not borg. Looking over to K, seeing the burning medical patch, but too concerned about getting to the rest, as well as potentially moving the away team from potential danger.* (edited)

Crewman Kk’kkv 05-Oct-21 01:05 AM

*Kk'kkv looks at Loorp* "Lt. Commander Sa'val says hey." *Kk'kkv looks back. She really needed to keep that arm on her new wound. Dammit!* "We need to move to the end and be ready to breach the final room, come" *So Kk'kkv continues forward as pointman, despite her injury. To the end of the tube, towards the ultimate destination.*

Crewman Harry Lynton 05-Oct-21 01:08 AM

*Harry himself starts to crawl down with Kk'kkv in order to get towards the ultimate destination. He was perfectly aware that this was the final destination, and it was going to get sticky. Especially with Loorp being around and him being a liability to Harry. A task he would happily to take, but also a potential issue in terms of hand to hand combat.*

Crewman Kk’kkv 05-Oct-21 01:15 AM

"Keep Loorp away from any close fighting."

Crewman Harry Lynton 05-Oct-21 01:17 AM

“I will to the best of my abilities, but I expect the worst is yet to come.”

Lt. Cmdr. Sa'val Stryker 05-Oct-21 01:20 AM

*The team in the Tubes would hear a #comms.*

Crewman Kk’kkv 05-Oct-21 01:21 AM

"Now!"
