Mission 9: Revenge of the Na'jigat

[Event Horizon]

"Energy! More energy!"
*But the Na'jigat is halted in their quest, when a beam of unusual power holds them back... This is not the energy they can consume, this is the mental energy that can push them back... The energy they had always known to come from their opponents... the Gallifreyans.*
"Gallifreyans! Gallifreyans! But I sense no Gallifreyan... there are none... There must be Gallifreyans... Where does mental energy come from... Sense powers almost as strong as Gallifreyans... But they are not Gallifreyans... Must retreat! Must retreat! Must retreat!"
*The Na'jigat cloud retreats instantly from the battlefield, before any more of the opposing energy can weaken it further. The Na'jigat is still strong enough, but chooses to withdraw and consider a new strategy... They return to the Quantum Singularity Network, and disappear in it... for now...*

[Sirius Black]

"Aye sir"

Black moves to the aft Engineering station.

"I think i can divert power from recreational systems for the time being Captain. It might get us 15 maybe 20 percent increase."

[FredLurado]

"We need more power...but we cannot spare mass power from sheilding..What we would need is the entire fleet to concentrate fire on one vital area at one time, just as the USS Enterprise during the Borg assault on Earth. Patch me in to the fleet transmission"

[lucasbailey]

=/\=Malcolm to fleet, I suggest we evac....grab everyone that is not on a ship and scram...=/\=

[FredLurado]

Lurado stands and nods. "All crew may depart to the station. I will be in Admiral Montrells office if I am needed, I shall meet anyone in the Pub afterwords".
He took a final glance around the bridge before entering the turbolift, and leaving the ship for the Admirals Office.

[Jorel Kaz]

"Channel open, sir."

[FredLurado]

Lurado looked at the viewscreen intently as the Na'Jigat dominated over the Borg cube and Righteous. "Tactical, halt fire!".
=A="Captain Malcolm, You are proposing that we abandon Deep Space 12? Where is the Admiral?"=A=
"Lieutenant Malia, Counselor, what do you make of this energy lifeform?"

[Comm One]

*Comm One stands up and addresses the crew on the bridge.*
"It was a privilege working with you all. May our next cooperation be as fruitful."
*Then he leaves the bridge and heads back to the station.*

OFF: everyone leaving the ship for shoreleave on the station, should check out the ongoing store party here:

[FredLurado]

"What is our ETA to the station?...I think most of us need a short rest period while we're in dock, for however long that is".

[Jorel Kaz]

"Captain, I've got weapons locked. Ready to fire on your mark."

[Montrell]

New mission briefing has been posted. Please report in the other topic.

[Event Horizon]

*The Borg Cube continued to fire upon the station and starships. The voice of the Collective resounds over the intercom again.*
"Resistance is futile. Lower your shields and surrender your ships. We will add your biological and technological distinctives to our own. You will adapt to service us."
*The Borg cube closes in to attack even more relentlessly. With the U.S.S. Ticonderoga destroyed, the cube now concentrated its attacks on the other ships, causing severe damage where possible.*
"You will be assimilated. If you attempt to intervene, we will destroy you."
*But while a lightshow of phasers, photon and quantum torpedoes lights up the dark space surrounding Deep Space 12, there is another power, slowly awakening... and hungry for... energy. Hiding in the Quantum Singularity Network, the Na'jigat has been growing ever stronger. The Na'jigat had been gaining strength and energy from other installations it had attacked and destroyed, and drained its energy... But now the Na'jigat was hungry again, and eager for more energy to absorb... The Na'jigat, being a species existing of pure mental energy, thus therefore impossible to destroy or hide from, has the ability to sense all that goes on, all that people think, feel and know... The abilities of the Na'jigat go beyond anything any humanoid species aside from a Q has ever displayed... The Na'jigat can take any form and project any mental image, deceiving both men's eyes and ship's sensors... And now, the Na'jigat was about to do it again... And while the starships and station are too busy defending themselves from the massive Borg cube, they don't notice that their sensors display an emergence of an energy cloud from the not too far off Quantum Singularity Network, rapidly moving toward the battlefield. But while Starfleet ships were preoccupied, the Borg was aware of a new presence, they ignored none of their sensor readings.*
"Detecting energy wave. Wave moving toward our coordinates. Prepare to intercept and assimilate."
*While the Borg cube continues to fire on the Starfleet vessels, part of its attention is now drawn to the Na'jigat cloud...*
"Unable to detect humanoid life forms. Pure energy of mental kind. Higher life form than the Borg. Must assimilate life form to gain perfection. Prepare to attack and assimilate. Classifying life form as Species 19554. Species 19554 closing in rapidply, expected arrival in 7 seconds... Preparation for assimilation is complete. Activate-"
*Suddenly, the Na'jigat energy cloud embraces the Borg cube. It all happens so fast that the Borg cube has no time or chance to react, and everyone on the surrounding starships only realises what is going on, when it has already begun... The Na'jigat is consuming the Borg cube. It seems as if a battle takes place inside, but is rapidly decided... In no time, the Borg cube begins to display smaller explosions, then larger ones... And only seconds later, the entire Borg cube completely explodes violently, less than 30 seconds after the Na'jigat attacked it... The Na'jigat greedily swallows all energy that comes free from the Borg cube's explosion, and only some other debris is thrown into space on all directions, some of them slamming into the shields of the ships and into the station. Seconds later, it almost seems as if the Borg cube had never been there... But looks can deceive, and while the Na'jigat had rid Starfleet of the Borg cube, the Federation starships and station now had to face a far more dangerous foe... The Na'jigat, having swallowed an enormous amount of energy from the Borg cube, had now grown stronger than it had been for many millenia, and yet it was hungry for more... And the energy it wanted, was just there for the taking... All it took, was to attack the little starships and station in front of it... Soon, the Na'jigat would be stronger again than the Gallifreyans, and conquer the galaxy! And thus, the energy cloud now focussed on the Starfleet vessels, and lashed out in an attack.*

OFF: Please read this article at our online database:

It will tell you what the Na'jigat is all about. You can't kill it, nobody can. So as to know what you can and can't do, read the article thoroughly please.

[FredLurado]

"Thank you". He replied to the droid, and kept his eyes on the viewscreen. "Kaz, open a channel to Deep Space 12, we should arrive within the hour. Cmdr. Black, do what you can with the time you have to get more shield strength. Lt. Malia, you can take the science post on the bridge. Any odd readings should be reported right away, any ships that enter the sector we are in"

[Taurik]

A phaser beam shot from the dorsal starboard phaser array of the Rivendell, but it was not the standard, bright orange beam. This beam was a blinding white, and was coursing with the psionic energy of Taurik, Sentinel of the Gallifreyan Order.

[Malia]
