Mission 12: "When It Rains..."

[Morgan Freeman]

"I have the drive ready for a small intra system test which at the very least will scare the crap out of anything that might be monitoring us or the station.  Plus, we may be able to detect the cloaked vessels if we jump in such a small area."  Morgan said checking the status of the new drive system.  He would not want to blow everyone up after just returning to his ship.  

Turning to Larial, "Hello dear girl, how are you doing?"

[T'lana]

T'lana walked over to Taurik watching Chaya Sar follow Commander Freeman, fascinated by the young woman from another galaxy.

"Our guest certainly is a fascinating being, isn't she? Tell me Captain, have you sensed some form of energy emanating from her?"

[Orpheus]

"I apologize, Miss Sar, for failing to introduce myself."

Orpheus's image appeared on a small holo-pedestal next to the lab terminal. "I am Orpheus, Federation intelligence construct for the starship Rivendell."

[THE BORG COLLECTIVE]

@@"WE ARE THE BORG, YOU WILL BE ASSIMILATED. RESISTANCE IS FUTILE."@@

[THE BORG COLLECTIVE]

<Borg Sphere>

The Borg Defensive/Offensive Drones, began attacking the vessels that were firing on them. The Sphere used both it's Disruptor Banks and it's cutting laser, while monitoring the USS Rivendell.

<Royal Transport - Borg Queen - Delta Quadrant>

The Holographic Viewer in the Central Plexus aboard the Queen's Personal Transport, now detached from the Unicomplex, was constantly monitoring the situation with the Rivendell and Battle Group Thirteen via the Borg Sphere's visual sensors.

The Borg Queen walked up to Taurik while watching the display. She didn't really need to of course, the Borg Queen was constantly being up dated by the Hive Mind, the display was more for Taurik.

[T'lana]

"Well I am going to the bridge, if you need me."

T'lana walked out of Engineering and headed for the turbolift.

On the bridge, T'lana went to the Science Station to catch up on some reports and to analyze the sensor data from the last mission.

T'lana had the strangest feeling she was being watched. A feeling might be the wrong word for a Vulcan, but it was the closest explanation that T'lana could come up with. The air around her seemed cold, as though there was a definite shift in the natural electromagnetic field.

T'lana shrugged it off as one of those illogical feelings that humans revel in so much and went back to work. Unfortunately, ignoring the problem doesn't make it go away and the basic instinct of a once predatory species, just wouldn't abate.

"Computer, is there any anomalous sensor readings from, inside the ship?"

Computer: Negative, no anomalous readings detected. Please be more specific.

"Is there any variance in the natural electromagnetic field anywhere on the bridge?"

Computer: Negative, sensors do not detect any variation in the electromagnetic field, either natural, or induced.

"Run a level one diagnostic of the internal sensors."

Computer: Acknowledged, specified diagnostic will take 3 minutes 22 seconds.

[Larial]

Larial looked at her creator and around the bridge and in a rather cool voice stated.

"I am fine thank you father, just feeling like an outsider here."

[Taurik]

"Indeed. She seems to possess some form of telepathy. When she first awoke, I tried to probe her mind and show her our intentions, but her mind was blocked. It pleases me to see that she meant no harm."

[T'lana]

<SHUTTLE BAY ONE>

"What are we to do now Captain?" T'lana asked, remembering that they were on a mission to find evidence of the Heraani's allies.

"Perhaps Miss Sar would be willing to assist us in this quest?"

[T'lana]

"...Borg." T'lana finished after the Borg hail.

[Holographic Officer Beta]

As Beta materialised on the Borg Sphere, he made sure to not make any sudden movements. He was in one of the areas of the sphere where the Borg's recharging alcoves were - quite a number of them empty - and the Borg around him were paying him no attention.

Holding his rifle pointing towards the ground, but still ready to bring to a firing position at the slightest moment, he made sure that the Borg drones surrounding him wouldn't consider him a threat. It wouldn't do to draw too much attention to himself.

He located and accessed one of the control panels nearby, attempting to locate one of the Transwarp Nodes on the Sphere. Once doing so, he began to head along the route he had picked out.

[Morgan Freeman]

Walking onto the bridge Morgan was all smiles as he heard Mr. Sarpedon's report.  Turning to the officer Morgan said "Don't worry about that Mr. Sarpedon, I am well aware of the changes to the warp drive."  
He walked over to the engineering station directly behind the captain and logged into his terminal.  "Captain, we are standing by at your command."

[Chaya Sar]

Chaya Sar, still caustious, deactivated her Lightsaber and place it back into it's hilt.
The Force seemed strange here, she thought she had heard a telepathic communication, but it didn't make any sense.

"Then I am pleased to meet you Taurik and the rest of you of course. As I said before, my name is Chaya Sar, have you informed the Jedi Council of my situation?"

[Chaya Sar]

Chaya Sar looked down at the console, she didn't think that is where Orpheus was, she just couldn't of anywhere else to look.

"Oh...an Artificial Intelligence Construct, wizard."


(Note: Wizard = Cool.)
