Vreenak tapped his commbadge.
=/\= Kivan, Savot...have you received the specification for the new shield upgrades yet? =/\=
=/\= Aye Commander, we're updating our systems now. We should have them up way before any Borg turns up here. We're not gonna let the fry us! =/\=
=/\= That's the spirit Lieutenant. Vreenak out. =/\=
He thought about the enthusiastic Xenexian down in engineering with the Vulcan COO, and wondered what fun they must be having together. The Chief Engineer had proved competent at his job, and Vreenak had heard he was a pretty good laugh down in the mess too. He wondered for a while whether the Xenexian would be a decent match in a drinking competition, before rembering that he was the captain, and wasn't supposed to do that kind of thing.
Smiling, he checked with Cmdr Agalacticae quickly.
=/\= Commander, how are things going planetside? =/\=

Agalacticae was just discussing their further course of action, when he received an incoming message from Captain Vreenak over his communicator.
=/\= Commander, how are things going planetside? =/\=
Giving Lt. Parker and Lt. Salvali signs to further asses the situation Agalacticae walked a few steps from the rest of the crew to answer Vreenakโs inquiry.
=/\= We are slowly making progress, Captain. With the help of Tal Lyra and Lt. Salvali we have narrowed the location of the data core down to three buildings and inspected two which did not contain the core. We are now in vicinity of the third building and quite confident that it is the location of the computer core. While approaching the building Lt. Parker detected a number of life forms inside it, presumably Borg, strengthening our hypothesis that we are looking the right place. I have decided to retreat Tal Lyra back to the shuttle, where she will be under the protection of Lt. Duchek (NPC), who is guarding the shuttle โ she is a civilian after all. Together with Lt. Salvali and Lt. Parker I am currently discussing how to access the data without starting a full-blown attack on the Borg inside the building. Still that might be our last option if we donโt find another way. =/\=
Agalacticae paused briefly to await a response from Captain Vreenak, who did not seem to have any objections.
=/\= How is the situation in orbit? Any changes in our strategy I should be aware of before we proceed, Captain? =/\=

After an insanely long physical, Steven left Sickbay, and headed towards the bridge.
'It never normally takes that long.' He thought to himself. 'Maybe they just wanted to keep me there?'
He shrugged and carried on walking. After a few minutes, Steven arrived at the bridge.
He entered and approached the Captain.
"So, whats been happening since I left, sir?" He asked.

=/\= Well...we haven't got much going on up here, just some prep work. Good luck Commander. =/\=
Vreenak turned to his first officer.
"Sorry...just checking on Mr Agalacticae. His mission planetside is going well enough...he's encountered a few problems, but he should be able to struggle through. How was your physical?"
"Long. You sure you didn't pay the CMO to keep me out the way?"
"Not that I remember...I'll have to check my balance. Got an up to date status report if you want one." Vreenak threw a padd to his first officer.

NPC T'Mara i guess.. for the Jefferson CMO o.o
Dr T'Mara was careful that she didn't initeate a mind meld as she placeda hand on Strife's feverish forhead the machine hooked up to Megellan and Strife to transfer blood was ready to roll and she was about to start it when they brought Loskene in she had the assistant Medical officer take him and she foucused on removing hte poision from Strife
She checked Megellans Vitals then strifes who 's vitals where a step to close to death
She started with a compoud that drew the poision to one end of her body and draw it out from there while megellans blood flowed into her
T'mara grabbed the container and started to drain the poision ..it came out willingly enough a bright orange along with a considerable amount of blood of stife's
She nodded to her aid signalling to stop the tranfusion..she didn't want ot have any complications with megellan
she finnished draining the last of the poision and then checked Stifes vitals .. they where stableizing
Letting out a sigh she walked over to megellan and emptied a hypo into megellans neck and he started to stir..
"It's over" Tmara said
"How long have i been out" Megellan said he felt a little dizzy
"Two hours wait here for about an hour and you should be free to go" T Mara said
"And Strife?" Megellan asked
"She will be alright, But she won't be up for a while there was some internal damage to her insides ..nothing permanet" Tamara said
Megellan only nodded and looked at the sleeping Strife beside him she looked peacful and the color seemed to be returning to her cheeks
----------------------------------------------------------------------- A young yoemen wandered the halls and looked for Lt gibson she found him in the corridor heading aaway from sick bay "sir I have orders from lt Strife to give you this"
Gibson turned to look at the yoemen holding a sword it took a few seconds to reconize it is was Strifes Katana Tetsusaiga

Kivan had decided to modify the shields first, as they were extremely important. Kivan remembered something he had once been told: "Remember, if you don't have any shields, your ship, in a battle, is completely done for. But you also have to remember that almost ALL [/i] other systems are important aswell." [/color] And Kivan had replied "Yes Sir. I'll remember that Sir." Kivan, with this in mind, tried to modify the shields as quickly as possible so that he could get everything ready ASAP. OFF: I did a small post because I'm in a bit of a hurry but the next one should make up for it ;D

Tomora(NPC) and Mike began their preliminary work on the probe. After just 5 minutes Mike decided that things are going a bit to slow. โTomora, call Telak down here and get him to help you with the probe and with the spare oscillator. We need them both done as fast as possible. Iโll prepare the data and present it to the captain and to Lt. Cmdr. Gibson. We need the green light for this and we need to let tactical know what can they rely on.โ โAlright, sir.โ, replied Tomora. Mike begun preparing the data and Tomora did as she was told. After a few minutes Telak into the lab and Mike explained to him what they needed to do. Without much fuss Telak got to work and things started moving a bit faster. After 15 minutes Mike had everything ready. He downloaded the data on two pads and headed out of the lab. โI believe you can manage this on your own. You both are quite capable of handling the things here, so Iโll be going to talk to the captain. If thereโs any problems, contact me immediately.โ โDonโt worry sir. Weโll be fine.โ, said Telak trying to erasure Mike because he realized that Mike was very tense about something. And he was. The thought that this plan might fail scared him to death. He immediately felt the metal cold of the assimilation tubes in his neck and a stone hard grip of a Borg drone holding his head and turning it so that he couldnโt move away and pull the tubes out. Those short hairs on his neck rose and just remained standing for a minute or two. As he started down the corridor he checked were the captain is. =/\= Pasek to the captain. =/\= But there was no response. =/\= Pasek to the captain. =/\= Mike repeated but still no answer came. โComputer, locate Commodore Loskene.โ โCommodore Loskene is in Sickbay.โ Mike made his way to sickbay, going over his plan in his head. He knew that it wasnโt appropriate to deliver details to the captain in sickbay but this was maybe the edge they needed and the way to turn the tables on the Borg. Besides no one can tell how far away the Borg are so time was precious. Mike entered sickbay and the site he saw wasnโt a bit soothing. He saw his captain laying on a biobed in his original form probably unconscious. Lt. cmdr. Gibson was at his side and when he saw Mike at the door he didnโt know what to do. You could see in his eyes that he didnโt want anyone to see the captain in this condition and yet he was glad that he didnโt have to keep the secret by himself and that now there is someone to share his tension and concern about the captain being, so to say, out of commission and the Borg at the door. โWell this will be interesting.โ, said Mike looking at the captain. He then addressed Lt. cmdr. Gibson. โSorry, sir, for being a bit insensitive but I need to show you this. It could give us the edge against the Borg that we need.โ โOf course. We need to keep working.โ Mike explained hip plan and the tactical officer agreed that it would be useful and that heโll be relying on it. Mike stayed for a minute longer and then headed to find the FO since he couldnโt get to the captain. โComputer, locate Commander TโAle.โ โCommander TโAle is on the bridge.โ Mike got on the bridge and immediately addressed the FO. โSir, I need your clearance to proceed with a plan to engage the Borg.โ The FO was happy that the preparations for the attack of the Borg were going so well and that the results were coming in on time. He was very eager to see had his new science officer come up with. Mike was on the Jefferson for just a couple of days and he was already coming forward with new ideas and with new approaches. โWell, Mr. Pasek lets see what did you prepare for us.โ Mike started explaining his plan and it was clear that the FO liked the idea. Mike could see it in his eyes. โGood work, Mr. Pasek. I really think this will work. You have my blessing to put this plan into motion.โ Meanwhile Tomora and Telak were working in the physics lab. The class 3 probe now didnโt have any of its systems except propulsion. The docking clamps were added, the oscillator was installed and the probe was ready for its mission. A program was prepared for the remote control of the probe and activating the oscillator. Mike wanted as much control over the probe so he ordered that nothing would be trusted to the computer autopilot, just in case something out of the expected had to be done. As Mike finished hi report to the FO and alarm sounded on the bridge. Mike ran to his station and made a scan. โWell, what is it?โ, asked the FO. Mike just stood there for a moment like his legs were cut off. He couldnโt make a sound. Suddenly he spoke: โIt is the crack of doom.โ โSpare me the poetry, and tell me what is going on, Mr. Pasekโ, said the FO clearly worried and upset. โItโs a Borg cube, sir.โ, Mike replied.

"Attention crew. The cube has entered our sensor range and will be here very soon. Perpare battlestations. FO T'Ale out" T'Ale says. "Lt. Sans (NPC), Get ahold of the Victory and inform them of the vessel. We are taking up our position." "Yes sir." Lt. Sans (NPC) nervously as she hails the Victory.

- USS El Salvador, Bridge -
Steve quickly read through the padd that Captain Vreenak gave him.
What he saw, he didnt like very much. He began pacing up and down while he was reading.
"This doesnt look good does it?" Steve stated as he headed towards the CO.
"So, what are we going to do, sir?" He asked.

"Now Commander Smith?...Now we fight!"
After snapping off a few orders to the bridge crew, he opened a link to the other two vessels. He was quite expecting the face of Commander Walker, but was moderately shocked to see Commander T'Ale on the other half of the screen.
"Commander, is Commodore Loskene in a bad way?"
"He is Captain. I have been needed to take command in his place."
"Okay. With both him and Magellan looking out of the picture, it seems I will have to take command of the situation, although really, we're three ships, there isn't much I can say other than to attack, attack, attack! We will transmit any battle orders directly to you, rather than risk communications which the Borg will be able to break, and read. Good luck, and remember, the Iron Duke is on her way giving us some more firepower...maybe when we're in big need of it."
"Of course captain. We are all ready for battle here."
"And here. We're just finishing some last minute enhancments."
"Good. Vreenak out." The two images left the screen simultaneously, and Vreenak stared out to the open starscape. The cube was still too far out for it to be seen with the eye, even at maximum magnification, but the sensors showed it closing in.
"Red Alert. All hands to battle stations." Commander Savot entered the room in a hurry to his station. "Commander, open a channel to the whole ship."
"Aye sir, channel open"
"Crew of the USS El Salvador. As you know, we are about to engage a Borg Cube. I'm not going to lie, there is a good chance we won't get through this. However, I would like to ask that we perform smoothly, and lets kick some borg [word deleted]!" With a nod at the ops officer, the link was closed.
"Engineering reports all enhancements online."
"Thank you Commander Smith."
On the main viewscreen, a small square could be seen.

With the imminent battle with the Borg, Steve started to get a slight worry, as he was sure that everyone was. He wasnt going to let it get to him though.
He took his chair on the bridge and sat on it. He tapped a few commands.
"Estimate time of engagement in 15 minutes, sir." He called to the captain."
"Thanks Commander"
Now Steve just sat and waited for the dawn to strike.

Apolagies to my crew for not posting. I've been busy (Homework, Sports, Trivia, TV, Friends, Family, homework, reading newspaper, did i mention homework?) Yeah, so sorry people.
Loskene laid limply on the biobed. Aral's forehead was creased with concern, he feared for his captain. The borg were a very unpredictable species, and no matter what you had ready for them, you couldn't be sure what they would do to counter-act it. The fact that finding out how to save the commodore rested with their ability to outsmart the borg worried Aral intensly.
When Aral looked away from the captain he noticed Cavit, resting peacefully in her biobed, the difference between what sh looked like when he carried her in here to what she looked like now was night and day.
Magellen was on the next biobed over and he was stirring. The nurses were tending to him, Magellen sat up, as they rushed to take final tests before releasing him.
The red alert sounded, and Aral snapped to attention. Over the comm, T'ales voice echoed with a tone of extreme serious in it, "Attention crew. The borg cube has entered our sensor range and will be here very soon. Prepare battlestations. FO T'Ale out."
Aral glanced back at the commodore. He laid his hand on his shoulder, and whispered, even though he knew the commodore couldn't hear him. "We'll get it Captain, whatever it bloody is you need, we'll get it."
___________________________________________
The transporter room was very near, just ahead. Aral had his team assembled in it, and as soon as they breached the cubes sheilds they would be deep in side the borg cube searching for the information they needed to save the commodore. As he was beginning to step into the transporter room, a young yeoman, stopped him.
"Sir I have orders from Lt Strife to give you this."
Aral turned to look at her and found her holding a Katana Tetsusaiga sword. It was Strife's, the one she had used to battle the borg with. He removed it from the long cloth covering it and held it in his hands. The yeoman left. Aral examined the grand sword before attatching the sheath to his weapons belt and stepping into the transporter room, silently thanking Strife.

In Strife's mind she felt Tetsusaiga's power she concetrated her mind power to the sword.. Only when it was needed to be drawn tetsusaiga will pulse and only the power on ones heart thats pure could cause it to transform into the fang.
Her eyes slowly open and th nurses where at her side she found megellan sitting up next to her he was looking at the door into space
"Megellan? " she wispered
He didn't look a her , thier families weere nevero n the best of terms , she let a tear fall and jumped over to Meglellan and gave him a hug
"Thank you" she rested her head on his chest when she was a little girl she watches her parents burtally murdered at the age of six. Megellan was all she had left in her blood family , then man who raised her no longer existed he dided two years ago the day Strife graded from the academy leaving her and a boy that lived down the street a sword the rest of it was to be destroyed
Megellan didn't look and fist then he slowly looked down at her and then she felt his arms around her.
"You welcome" she stood up and she had the sensation of falling but was suprised that she didn't feel the impact for megelllan had caughter and helped her into the bio bed
"Stay here and rest" Megellan said She looked into her cousin face it was sheer determation,
"I must get to my ship" he said
"Wait" she unclasped her cross necklace from her last lover linnis and but it around megellans neck
"Keep it"
Megellan nooded and hugged her again and left she layed down and andgain reaced out tensaiga's power and wished every one the best

As Magellan left he wondered if Stife and his family would now be able to put the past behind them. Life was too short, an ironic thing for a joined trill like him to think but both his parents were unjoined. He tried to bring his mind back to the job, they all may have a short life. The ship shook violently and Magellan made his way up to the bridge. He stood on the Soverirgn class bridge. "Admiral on the Bridge" a crewman managed to announce despite the frenzied activity. "Sir. would you like Command?" T'Ale relied rising curtly from the chair. "No no commander, it is too soon after surgery, You retain command, just give me a tactical over view console and I ll observe from their." "The Victory?" "No no time to transport set one up Here" "Aye Sir" T'Ale resonded " Crewman set one up at station 3 and Helm close the distance to the cube."

Savot sat at his Ops console, receiving readiness reports from all ships departments.
"Captain Vreenak, all sections report full readiness. Also, all ship sections report full stand-alone capability should we split the ship for combat."
Vreenak nodded, "Very well Mr. Savot. We may very well need them."
"Aye, sir. The three most senior officers onboard are yourself, First Officer Smith, and Chief Tactical officer Sheldon." Savot read from the crew roster in his memory.
Vreenak stroked his chin. "Hmm, I'll think about it in case it comes to that. I may want to keep Commander Sheldon at his usual post. For now, tell all ship's personnel to standby for multi-vector separation."
Savot acknowledged the order and typed in the notice to all sections.
Then all was silent on the bridge as the Borg cube loomed ever closer.

Just a little shory here Strife waited till Dr T'Mara was tending to Loskene before sneaking out .She staggered her way to the turbolift clutching the bulkheads for support. She managed to get herself to the Bridge amongst the comotion no one noticed her untill she made her way to the helm "GAH Strife what are you doing here" Megellan said "My job" She growled ready for anyone who dared to remove her "Are you up to it?" T'Ale asked "Yes" It was a breif response *she looks so weak* Megellan thought and to the looks of it she could hardly stand , watching her take the helm she said on it and ran her hand smoothly acroos the board ready for action "I'm ready on you command" Strife said "Fine Mrs Cavit, Take us in"

In the Transporter Room: The team stood in silence listening to the open commlink to the bridge. They awaited the signal from T'ale to beam in, for they had to be there at exactly the right moment. Signaling the Jefferson from the borg ship, to get back into the borg sheilds would be hard as well as beaming them out. Mike had to be ready to fire the pod with the destabilising technolagy in it at a moments notice, as they need to be out of there as fast as they got in.
Matthews shuddered beside him. Aral reminded himself that he had to keep and eye on him, as the officer was a tad 'allergic' to the borg. He had never encountered a real one before a couple days ago, but that wasn't a bad thing of course. Matthew stopped shaking as soon as he felt Aral's hand on his shoulder. The newly graduated ensign took a deep breath and nodded to Aral, who removed his hand, hoping the young man would keep his composure.
On the bridge: The ship shook so horribly, many would later claim the the plating was squeaking.
Smoke hissed from the conduits, and officers rushed to repair them.
"REPORT!" T'ale shouted, pulling herself off the floor. Mike was first to his seat.
"They hit us hard but the sheilds are holding, it was more of a shaking then real damage." Mike's hands flashed over the screen.
"Affirmative," the TS officer cut in, "Sheilds at 86%! They're firing again!"
"Evasive manuvers helm!" T'ale ordered.
Strifes head poked up from the floor, wiping a lock of hair from her eyes. "Huh? Oh!" she jumped back into her seat.
The ship tilted, the inertial's pulled the ship into correct position again.
The TS officer looked at T'ale, "Message coming in from the Victory!"
"Put it through!"
Cmdr. Riker appeared on the screen. "T'ale, its now or never! Vreenak agrees."
"Acknoledged!" T'ale tapped her combadge, "T'ale to Gibson, wait for my signal!"
Met by static the combadge hissed, but it cleared, "Ready whenever sir!"
Magellen spoke up, "You should enter at this point, there's a weak spoke off their aft sheilds. They havn't repaired it yet, so you better be quick."
"Transfer to Helm would you Admiral."
Strife nodded her head and then the veiw screen pulled to the side and they came to a spot a bit away from where they had been before. The ship shook and tilted but strife kept them on course right into the sheilds, the TS officer fired and they were in.
"Now Lt. Cmdr. Gibson!"
On the borg ship: They bunched to gether in a tight pack, the borg moved around purposely as the team moved past them.
"We need to find a access panel, come one guys, we need to speed up, they can't last forever out there."
"Whats that, lt. cmdr.?" Jordan asked pointing to a dark panel.
"Henderson, have a look at that." The lt. moved toward it and tapped quickly on it.
"It'll be deep inside the core, lt. cmdr., i need a moment to get in."
"Be quick then." Aral said as they watched a borg walk by, with metal half covering the once rich federation uniform.

As the teams from the three ships had now beamed across to the cube, the main aim of the ships on the outside was now to cause as much damage as possible to the cube to distract them from the teams within. After listening to Commander Savot's information he nodded again.
"Okay, if we are three ships, we'll cause more problems than as one. Prepare for saucer seperation. Commander Smith, you have the secondary bridge, Mr Savot the third as Mathew Sheldon has not yet joined the crew. Once at your stations, report your readiness." The two officers rushed off the bridge to their assigned positions.
The battle continued during this time, the deputy tactical officer working the ship's weapons. Having taken only minor hits up to this point, a borg cutting beam lashed at the front of the ship, causing the ship to lean heavily to port, and the bridge crew got thrown from their positions.
"Helm, I don't want them to hit us again..."
As he spoke, his commbadge chirped and Commander Savot reported readiness, followed closely by Commander Smith.
=/\= Thank you Commander, initialise seperation procedure. =/\=

OFF: Posted both on the Planet and In Orbit thread With their mission completed successfully thanks to the help of Samantha and Felix Commander Agalacticae engaged the engines of the shuttle preparing to take off from the Planet surface. He was pleased to see that Tal Lyra was unhurt as well as the last member of his crew, who he had ordered to guard the shuttle and protect her. Having succeeded in retrieving the data required to cure Commodore Loskene all hope now resided on Lt. Commander Gibson and his away team. Only if they would be able to retrieve the necessary Borg-Hardware, the information would be useful. Accelerating away from the planet and back towards space Robert took a look at the sensors. The readings showed more than the three Starfleet vessels they had left a while ago. Realizing that the presence of the Borg Cube could give them a somewhat bumpy ride he addressed the rest of his crew.
Agalacticae: โListen up, a Borg Cube has entered the system and our ships are engaging it. As soon as we arrive in orbit I might have to take evasive maneuvers, so you better hold on to somethingโ
Approaching the fireworks surrounding the Borg Cube Robert suddenly felt his stomach turn. The Borg must by now have realized that the information on the Planet was lost and that the small shuttle approaching the scene would be their last hope of getting their hands on itโฆ
Eager to get to one of the ships as fast as possible Robert hailed the El Salvador:
=/\= Agalacticae to Captain Vreenak. We have accomplished our mission and are in possession of the data necessary to cure Commodore Loskene. Awaiting instructions which vessel to approach =/\=

OFF: Sorry about the confusion regarding Mr. Sheldon, I'm typically pretty good about paying attention to detail, it's just that the welcome email that was sent out to Commander Sheldon on the e-groups made me forget that he hadn't actually posted his joining us yet. My apologies. Thank you for the command opportunity.
=/\= Initiate separation procedure. =/\=, came Captain Vreenak's order upon receiving readiness confirmation from Lt. Commander Savot and Commander Smith. Savot signalled his acknowledgement and turned to the helm and ops stations on his bridge.
"Initiate separation, disengage docking clamps and plot course to avoid collision upon separation. Correlate efforts with the primary and secondary hulls.", Savot ordered calmly. He noted that the crewmembers on his bridge showed a high level of energy, a large amount of it was no doubt anxiety over facing a Borg Cube, but his people acted with professionalism and kept their fears in check.
Savot tapped the controls on his chair arms, then signalled full readiness to Captain Vreenak and Commander Smith. Both returned his signal and replied with equal status.
=/\= All right gentlemen, separate in 3, 2, 1, mark! =/\=, Vreenak ordered and Savot's hull shuddered slightly as it split from the other 2, coming apart like something akin to a sliced orange. Savot noted that Captain Vreenak had timed the separation most intelligently, as all 3 sections missed a laser strike that passed through what had moments ago been the dead center of the El-Salvador B.
Giving a slight nod in appreciation of the Captain's skills, he addressed his officers once again. "Helm, give us 50 kilometers distance from the other sections, then assume position for a simultaneous triangular strike in concert with sections 1 and 2. Tactical, stand by."
Savot manually entered an alphanumeric communication so as to avoid active voice-comm signals being intercepted, as per the Captain's recommendation, and transmitted it to the other sections of the El-Sal.
{Captain, I recommend attacking from separate sides of the ship, forming a triangular pattern. I believe if all 3 sections target and destroy the same system, but in 3 different locations, it will take either take the Borg longer to repair the affected system or they will have to use more of their resources to repair it at their usual rate. Thereby giving the away team more unhindered time. Awaiting instructions. Savot out.}, he sent the message and helm brought the ship around, dodging fire as best she could.

Steven was aboard the secondary section of the El Sal, with his handful of crew.
The ship had just seperated and was moving away.
"Status report." Steven ordered.
"All systems nominal, sir." came the reply from the helm.
"Excellent. I want the ship on evasive maneouvers. Keep us away from the enemy fire." Steven ordered next.
He walked up to the helm. "I want the ship on defensive pattern Kirk Epsilon for now. But be prepared to chance that at very short notice."
