U.S.S. Tiberon Mission 9: "Hawkeye"

[Julia Rellek]

I certainly hope someone thinks of something.

It's kind of ironic, we always wanted someone to defeat the borg and now that it has happened. We all probaly would settle for the borg.

[William Wallace]

Removing the cover to the science station I try as io might yo fix an anomoly then realising I didn't have the necessary knowledge to fix it called engineering.

Commander Wallace to Engineering. I have a malfunction in the science station on the bridge that needs fixing.

Hoping I didn't make it worse I report to the Captain.

Captain since we came through whatever that was I have been unable to get info from the sensors at all.

[Tom Karelia]

Just before they parted ways, Karelia said quietly to Lollock, "I didn't know. I took a risk."

[Tom Karelia]

"With pleasure, ma'am."

Tom, still in his Imperial uniform, slides into the helm and activates the deflector, and the invisible rift opens. The Tiberon slides through the rift, and returns to Federation space instantaneously.

[Julia Rellek]

**The Ticonderoga takes it's next pass. Firing wildly it makes multiple hits across the hull. Then the cube fires at the Ticonderoga**

Ops officer- sir that was a direct hit.

Tactical officer- Mam, our shields ar down.

=/\=Engineering to the bridge, we have a core breach in progress.=/\=
=/\=Get everyone out of there and put up a containment field=/\=

=/\=Rellek to the Tiberon I'm going to order an abandon ship can you get us out of here?=/\=

[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.

[Talen]

How are we supposed to fight a monster that can not be harmed? Our phasers and torpedoes only feed it and it'll chase us to the ends of the galaxy. What can we possibly do to stop it? First StarPhoenix now DS12? Can anything stop it?!

Off: I've just heard on very short notice that I'll have to leave the County for the next three weeks. I'm not sure if I'll have access to a computer while I'm gone. Sorry, I had no advanced warning. July 10th to the 29th.

[Tara Lollock]

Commander, set a course for 184 mark 71, warp 6.5.

Talen, maintain tactical readiness.

Science, please run constant sensor sweeps.

[Tara Lollock]

OFF:Sorry for my absence i was having trouble getting the website to load.

[Malcolm]

"Mr. Keach, you may board now."

*suddenly, a group of 18 armed "starfleet" officers appear on the bridge and begin to round up everyone except malcolm, a man steps out from the group, he is dressed in a strange cloak, the man walked up to malcolm and spoke to him*

"Un Unay A barros k'a'dune."

*Malcolm suddenly became stiff and falls over, the man turns around and spoke to to subordinate officers*

"you two, take him to the sickbay,have Healer T'la take out the Z'ygon worm...then, make sure he is sane, we need him to gain as much knowledge of this...Starfleet...then take him to the brig"

*the two men and the others do as they are told...*

[Tara Lollock]

I don't want to see him hurt, however he wears the uniform; he would understand.

How do you expect me to turn over a starship with the capabilities that the Tiberon posesses without having the slightest inkling as to what you wanted to do with it. If  i give you the ship how do i know that i'm not sacrificing thousands of lives just by giving it to you.

[Malcolm]

*shakes his head and grins*

"And i apologize for tackling you earlier, it was intended to keep you from getting shot as i suspected you were bluffing us all...but, it served a second purpose just in case i was wrong, now lets bind him up and get everyone out from behind the force field...we will have to take the maintenence passages to the armory, you must go to the bridge and maintain that we are still locked up, we will get weapons and disable ship communique...then begin to make our way through the ship...sound like a plan?"

[Malcolm]

*The tiberon, quickest to action begins to fire relentlessly upon the cube, explosions rock the cube....*

*on the tiberon*

"Prepare weapons for a strafing run..."

*The run is readied*

"On my mark increase impulse to 2 knots and engage.....mark!"

*With that the tiberon streaks towards the cube and releases a barrage of photon torpedos,etc...*

*the tiberon banks and turns a 180, preparing another run  from the opposite direction, it releases another volley of fire, damaging the cube*

[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:
http://www.expansionfleet.com/cgi-bin/fleet/ikonboard.cgi?act=Page;p=najigat" target="_blank">http://www.expansionfleet.com/cgi-bin....najigat
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.

[Will Karelia]

The Na'jigat cloud reached DS12. It began feeding power from the five large fusion reactors on the station, and drained power from every system, be it major or auxilliary. The station's lights began to dim, and the station began to list slightly. The force of the power drain destabilized the station's orbit of the planet Envidia II, and the station began to move, affected by Envidia's gravity.

Will simply stared at the viewscreen in awe. "No..." he muttered.

The station plummeted through Envidia II's thin atmosphere, and impacted on the planet's surface. A flash could be seen as the fusion reactors went critical.

Will pounded his fist so hard on the wall it left a dent. "DAMN IT!" he yelled, the entire bridge crew staring at him. He took a moment to compose himself, then pressed a button on the Ops console himself.

"Karelia to the fleet," Will said, barely able to speak the words. "Evacuate the area. Set course to your home bases."
