Mission 12: "When It Rains..."

[kloek8]

Yes sir

Chief operations officer

[T'lana]

=A=USS Rivendell to USS Vladivostok=A=

"Fall back Captain."

=A=USS Rivendell Out=A=

"For that very reason Orpheus." T'lana stated matter-of-factly.
T'lana thought for a second, "But you are correct, this is taking too long."

=A="All hands this is the Captain, prepare for Multi-Vector Assault Mode."=A=

"Mr. Givrilian, transfer tactical to helm and initiate separation sequence. Charge Phaser banks and load Quantum Torpedoes, engage the Borg Sphere."

[THE BORG COLLECTIVE]

"WANT IS IRRELEVANT. YOU ARE OF SPECIES 3259, BUT POSSESS ABILITIES AND WEAPONRY OF SPECIES 0002. EXPLAIN."

<USS Rivendell>

The Borg Drones had already assimilated three of the crew and beamed them back to the Cube for stage 2 and 3 of assimilation.


OOC: These crew are Red Shirts, non-player characters, unless some players want to be assimilated. http://www.expansionfleet.com/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/assimilate.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':assimilate:'> http://www.expansionfleet.com/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'>

[Taurik]

"Of course. The next time I have the chance, I'd like to introduce you to the other masters of my order."

[T'lana]

T'lana went to her station and sent a text message to the Medbay.

===INTERNAL MESSAGE SYSTEM===

To: Chief Medical Officer
From: Chief Science Officer
We are testing a Wormhole Induction Propulsion Drive, or Jump Drive for short.
The effects of spacial Displacement due to the folding of the spacetime continuum to generate a Hyperdimensional Corridor (or Wormhole) may have an effect on those with an imbalance in their Cerebral Cortex. This disorientation is short lived - approximately ten minutes - and only effects one in one hundred humans.

Please inform the Captain if such a disorientation, mainly dizziness and the like, effects any of the crew.

Regards
Lt. Commander T'lana.

===End Message===

Moving back to the Captain's side, T'lana states,
"I have informed the Chief Medical Officer Captain."

[T'lana]

"Aye Captain."

[Givrillian Sarpedon]

Sarpedon looked at the data scrolling across his screen.
"Captain, it seems someone's modified the warp core somewhat. I can't tell what or how yet, though." he reported.

[Morgan Freeman]

Morgan sat at the master engineering station awaiting the arrival of the operations officer and reviewing the latest batch of diagnostic tests from the new systems.  The Rivendell's trimode warp core had ended up being replaced on orders of Starfleet engineering, which put his repair schedule off about one day.  The engineering crew had done a remarkable job at actually getting the new core installed with Morgan taking his usual position at the bottom of the core chamber.  It was a tradition of his to get acquainted with a new core by attaching all the leads himself, which should have been the job of an ensign but he insisted of doing it.  

The new core had a few problems with it that seriously bothered Morgan.  The thing that bothered him the most was the fact that in all of the his diagnostics there was a 8.5% drop in power output from the core at the moment the drive system was engaged.   He was engaged in trying to figure out when when he barely noticed the arrival of the XO in the room.  Seeing her he motioned for her to come over to the master terminal where he could show her the test results.  It was always good to have a vulcan's perspective on matters even when they had no sense of humor.

[Chaya Sar]

Chaya Sar walked over to Morgan and Larial, she was fascinated by the chemical make-up of Tylium Fuel, but felt foolish when she stated.

"The Blue Harvest might know, it would be strange if a ship didn't know what was fueling it. By the way Morgan, I thank you for seeing if you could refuel my vessel, I really appreciate it. But my Viper isn't in desperate need of fuel just yet, the tank is three quarters full at the moment. The Viper Class Starfighter has enough fuel for two weeks of constant sublight travel."

With that said, Chaya Sar walked back to Shuttle Bay One, climbed into the cockpit of the Viper and queried the Computer as to the composition of it's fuel.

The Computer monitor displayed the composition of the Tylium Fuel. The Science Lab analysis was absolutely correct, but the Viper new what the other two elements of the fuel was. As known by the Science Lab Computer, it did have Tritium and Ununpentium. The other two molecules were unique to Chaya Sar's home galaxy, being Carbonite and Tibanna.

Luckily the Starfighter had the molecular make-up of Carbonite and Tibanna, so Chaya downloaded the information to her HoloNet Comlink, climbed back out of the Viper and took the information back to Morgan in the Science Lab.
Once there, Chaya took out her HoloNet Comlink from a hidden pocket in her robes, walked up to Morgan and activated it.

"According to the Blue Harvest Morgan, this is the molecular structure of Tylium Fuel. Sorry, I should have thought the Viper would know what fuel it used."

The information showed Carbonite to be a complex chain of carbon molecules with a crystalline substrate. Tibanna was a complex chain of helium molecules in vapor form.

"Could you synthesize it now Morgan?"

[Holographic Officer Beta]

"Aye, Captain."

Beta picked up his mobile emitter from the top of the tactical console where it was lying, and fixed it to his arm, transferring his program across to it. He then stepped into the turbolift.

[Morgan Freeman]

"Sure, go ahead."  Morgan said.

[THE BORG COLLECTIVE]

The Borg Queen realized that in her arrogance she just gave away a little too much information and decided best to take a diplomatic approach.

"Assimilation was not a priority for the Borg at that time."

[T'lana]

T'lana took out her Tricorder and scanned began scanning for the cause of the jolt.

"Captain, the USS Rivendell is encapsulated in tractor beam, it's the..." T'lana was interrupted by an open frequency communication.

[Taurik]

Taurik was continuing to struggle against the constant pressure of the Collective in his mind.

"I tire of this," he said, beginning to lose his emotional control. "Release me, and we shall see how the Borg stand against a Sentinel! If you are a close to perfection as you claim, it should be no challenge!"

[Taurik]

"It is most definitely agreeable to be back," Taurik said, almost trying to shake the ambiance of the Borg vessel away. "I'll expect a full report in the morning. For now," he said, taking his seat eagerly, "set a course for Federation territory and engage at... however you got here."

It was evident that Taurik was still a little confused as to how the Rivendell crossed the galaxy in such a short amount of time.
