Mission 12: "When It Rains..."

[Taurik]

"Can we transport it to the main shuttlebay?"

[Chaya Sar]

Chaya Sar's head was spinning at the efficiency and speed T'lana had shown her how to operate the sonic shower and the computer terminal.
Chaya decided to browse through the clothes files first and then take a sonic shower, sitting at the terminal for an hour trying to decide what to where.
Of course the choices were quite extensive, the problem was, Chaya had been wearing traditional Jedi Robes for so long that choosing anything else was nearly impossible. Making a selection that would go with her utility belt, even more so.

Chaya decided to place her original clothes into the replicator to be scanned and duplicated, taking the new Jedi outfit with her into the en suite.
After having a shower, she did her hair, put on make up and then put on her new clothes. Chaya then put her Holocom into the hidden pocket and put on her utility belt, that held her Blaster Pistol, tradition Comlink and Lightsaber.

Coming out of the en suite, Chaya walked up to T'lana.

"Thank you for the use of your shower and that T'lana. I thought about changing into civilian clothes, but this is all I really know now." Chaya stated, gesturing to the newly replicated, but same designed clothes she was wearing.

"Um is there anywhere I can have something to eat around here."

[THE BORG COLLECTIVE]

In the seconds that past, the Borg Cube had fully regenerated and it's transphasic shields had adapted.

The Borg Cube paused for a moment, as the abilities Taurik displayed and his weapon, the Borg had seen before. The cubes Vinculum had relayed back to the Central Plexus of Unimatrix 01 in the Delta Quandrant, this new finding as it happened.

The Borg Queen, in her Interface Alcove, watched the events as they unfolded. She then directed the Cube to learn more, before assimilation.

Back with the Borg Cube, Sphere and the USS Rivendell, the Borg Cube fired multiple Disruptor burst. The first volley hit the Warp Nacelles, the second took out the engines.

Captain Taurik was then transported to the Borg Cube and placed in a Psionic Dampening Field, a trick they assimilated just recently...very recently as a Heraani Drone walked by Taurik on his way to regenerate.

"BORG DESIGNATION THREE OF TWELVE, SPECIES 3259. YOU WERE ASSIMILATED BY THE COLLECTIVE AT SPATIAL GRID: 5572 BY 2397 BY 1126. THE WEAPON YOU CARRY IS OF SPECIES 0002. EXPLAIN. YOU WILL COMPLY."

While Taurik was on the Borg Cube for interrogation, 20 Borg Drones were beamed over to the Rivendell to begin assimilating the crew. Once completed, the USS Rivendell would then be reduced to it's constituent atoms and placed in the Cube's matter storage buffer.

[Larial]

Larial looked at the Captain,

"Oh I meant no offense Captain."

[T'lana]

"It is agreeable to be back Command and Control. At your discretion Mr. Sarpedon."

=A="All hands, this is the executive officer, shore leave rotation granted, but do not leave Avalon please, bridge out."=A=

[Taurik]

"Yes, you are quite correct, it is irrelevant. Let us waste no more time. What is it you want from me?"

[T'lana]

T'lana turned to Chaya, "In the event this fails, we need an alternative solution to our faster than light limitations. Your vessel uses a Hyperspace Generator correct? Please explain how it accomplishes this?"

T'lana gestured to the Executive Officer's Chair, "Please, sit." T'lana stated.

[Orpheus]

"Captain, the Vladivostok is losing power to their shield grid. With all due respect, ma'am, we are the most powerful warship in this group, why are we holding fire?"

[Odona Covell]

Inside Chaya's mind a voice she hadn't heard in a while comes into focus, sounding distressed the voice came into greater focus
~Master can you hear me?~

[T'lana]

OOC: I take it you mean me...

IC:

T'lana had just finished her report after analyzing the sensor telemetry from their last mission, just as Ensign T'Kar asked his question.

"The Captain is with Admiral Karelia and the Jedi Knight we rescued. He is introducing her to the Admiral. Any specific reason for your inquiry Mr. T'Kar?"

[Luke Voison]

OOC: I had to read 10 pages to catch up on how the captain got onto a borg cube http://www.expansionfleet.com/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'>

Things seemed to have calmed down a bit since earlier. Luke entered the bridge, still feeling a little bit unstable after having a up-close meeting with a Borg drone earlier right outside the holodeck.

He took 'round the bridge and took his shift position next to the tactical console, taking a deep breath in and exhaling as he tried to keep himself together. His eyes turned towards the Captain in his seat as he began to calm and take a look around the bridge, he raised an eyebrow. He had the slightest urge to ask the Captain what happened when he was transported out of the ship.

[Morgan Freeman]

Morgan noticed that the Universal translator was not functioning for their new visitors language.   Making sure that he did not startle the woman who was holding an energy sword he politely backed towards the control panel in the shuttle bay and began accessing the universal translator matrix.  He would have to make changes as the young woman spoke. Looking up at her Morgan tried to signal her to keep speaking.

[T'lana]

T'lana looked up at Chaya from a PADD she was reading entitled "Into the Forge", a collection of Vulcan poetry.

"Indeed, you can either have sustenance from the replicator, or there is the Celtic Corner, a bar and cafe on the Promenade of Avalon. I would suggest going to see Admiral Karelia first though.

T'lana showed Chaya on the terminal where to go to get to the Admiral's Office and then how to get to the Celtic Corner.

[Chaya Sar]

"That would be much appreciated, yes." Chaya Sar stated with a smile.

[THE BORG COLLECTIVE]

The Borg Cube intensified it's Neuralitic Field and while Taurik was regaining his strength, a drone placed a Neural Inhibitor near Taurik's Temporal Lobe.

<UNIMATRIX 01>

The Borg Queen was watching and analyzing the playback and telemetry from the events on the USS Rivendell. The Borg Queen was fascinated by it all. She wasn't afraid, worried or anything like that, she was simply fascinated. With this fascination, came a plan.

<BORG CUBE 3933723>

An image was projected into Taurik's mind, via his Neural Implant, the image was of Chaya Sar and what she had done to the drones.

"THIS SPECIES IS UNKNOWN TO US, WHAT IS THIS BEING'S DESIGNATION? YOU WILL COMPLY."

While the Hive-Mind was speaking to Taurik, the Borg Cube activated it's Transwarp Drive, headed for Unimatrix 01. The Borg Sphere still had the Rivendell in a tractor beam.

Taurik has been granted an audience with the Borg Queen.
