Mission 12: "When It Rains..."

[Givrillian Sarpedon]

"Aye." Sarpedon said, as he typed in the commands on his console, opening a channel with Avalon Station.

=/\="Avalon Station, this is the USS Rivendell, requesting permission to dock."=/\=

[Taurik]

(OFF: Or, if you're really good at novel form, that's allowed too. For instance...)

Code Sample

Captain Taurik tapped his communicator. "Commander T'lana," he stated, "please meet me in my ready room." The first officer's response was swift. "I'll be there momentarily," she replied.

[Morgan Freeman]

OOC:  I miss all the fun.   However I am getting better now so life is GOOD.  

IC:  Engineering was once again a mess for Morgan to clean up.  The damage caused by the Borg had been repaired and the makeshift transwarp drive had burned out and been removed from the Rivendell's systems.  There was still conduit damage and all sorts of other damage that would keep his crews busy for the next several weeks.   When it came to space dock time it was always the engineers that stayed on the ship to make sure it was ready to go out again when the captain ordered it.  

Having completed his scans it was now time for Morgan to inform the captain of the damage.  
=A= Freeman to Taurik =A=
Captain, the Transwarp drive system has burned out and has been removed.  We have already repaired most of the damage from the Borg but it will take us about 4 days to fix the rest of the damage to the Rivendell.  Good news however, it seems the Jump drive system was undamaged by the Borg attack and is still fully operational.  Also, the engineering crew was able to fight off the borg with only 1 casualty.

[Morgan Freeman]

Morgan sat at the master station in engineering.  The repairs where complete and he was just running some tests on the Jump drive.  He was fascinated by the drive and how it could be integrated into the Rivendell's drive systems so easy.  
The terminal in front of him beeped telling him the latest simulation was completed with the results waiting for him.  After reviewing his latest test, which was a power surge though the drive system during its operation, the computer reported from what it could tell that there was a 22 percent chance that the drive could cause a longer jump on the same course.

[Chaya Sar]

"I apologize, I meant no offense by that Morgan." Chaya Sar looked around for the other person, but Morgan and Chaya were the only ones in the room.

"Err who...who was that?"

[Taurik]

"To know that, you will need a little bit of explanation."

Taurik linked his mind to Chaya's, a form of communication that they both knew well and could utilize much more efficiently. Within moments, he exposed her to everything that had happened with the Na'jigat and the Heraan so far, from the Na'jigat's first encounter with Starfleet over the planet of Sordinan, to the attack on Avalon, all the way to their current objective.

Taurik spoke through their telepathic link. "I hope you now understand the gravity of our situation," he projected to her.

[T'lana]

T'lana finished writing her report and gave it to Captain Taurik.

Heading for the turbolift she stated to Chaya, "Come with me."

Both T'lana and Chaya Sar, headed for T'lana's quarters, to freshen up and change their clothes.
T'lana went into the sonic shower first and changed into a new uniform, lastly putting on her make up and doing her hair.

When T'lana had finished, she took Chaya to her terminal and show her, some of the finest civilian clothes for females that the Rivendell had on file, showing Chaya how to use the terminal and how to make a selection.

T'lana then took Chaya Sar to the sonic shower and showed her what to do, before leaving Chaya to her own devices. Going to the replicator, she ordered a bowl of Plomeek Broth and a glass of water and sat down to eat. T'lana had thought of ordering Chaya something, but had no idea what to order. What does an extra-galactic alien find appetizing anyway?

[T'lana]

T'lana took the medal case that was given to her by Taurik and placed it where she was sitting at the Banquet Table.

She nodded to Morgan and partook in the Banquet with the rest of the staff that was present for the awards ceremony.

[T'lana]

T'lana was about to set up level 10 security fields in every section of every deck, but knew it was useless. The Borg always showed an unerring ability to walk through, beam through, or fire weapons through; any shield or field set up to try and block them.

So T'lana decided to try another approach. Chaya Sar was obviously a powerful being and at the moment was their best defense against the Borg.

T'lana walked up to Chaya. "To answer your question, these beings are the Borg, a collective of various assimilated species connected to a Hive Mind. They think as one, act as one and will forcibly assimilate any being not apart of the collective. The Borg are Cybernetic-Organic beings with highly advanced Type III technology and will not stop until they achieve their version of perfection."

T'lana continued...

"You are our best hope for survival, will you help us? Do not let them touch you though, because they use nanobots injected via multi-phased tubules for the first stage of assimilation."

[T'lana]

After Givrillian activated the USS Rivendell's Multi-Vector Assault Mode, the vessel split into it's three seperate, Warp Capable sections. Unique to the Prometheus Class vessels, the three separate sections of the Rivendell have equal power, with the two sections other than the bridge section, being controlled by the computer.

"Attack pattern delta Mr. Sarpedon."

[Tigerlead]

Tigerlead looked at the commander and said
"Well mam i'm glad to be here. I hope i can live long and prosper aboard this ship as you Vulcans say... kind of a stupid goal in my line of work isn't it?" smiling at the commander.

[T'lana]

"Indeed, that is what concerns me."

T'lana felt another electric shock go through her body. She couldn't wait anymore, so she took out her tricorder and began scanning herself, well the nanites inside her anyway.

The tricorder showed several thousand nanites offline, but millions of the nanites were still online and functioning correctly.
Closing the tricorder and putting it away, T'lana couldn't help but to feel a sense of relief, but made a mental note to find the cause of the malfunctioning nanites.

"It seems I must do the same." Stated T'lana.

[T'lana]

OOC: Because we still do not have an XO I shall take over crew assignment if you wish Taurik. Is Dean coming back at all?

IC:

In the absence of a XO T'lana was next in Bridge Staff rank, so she stated.

"Captain if I may? Mr. Beta has proven himself to be an adequate Tactical Officer, despite the corruption of his subroutines at the time. Might I suggest this is where his talents would be better suited."

[T'lana]

"You're welcome ensign, dismissed."

[Taurik]

(OFF: Since the Rivendell has been encapsulated by the sphere, let's assume only the cube headed for Unimatrix 01. You'll have to bust out of the sphere, Voyager-style.)

"Her name is Chaya Sar. I would recommend you avoid trying to assimilate her, it would be an inefficient waste of drones."
