The lift began to move in a downwards direction. She looked towards Telva and Murphy, who by now where comparing scematics. "So, how far are we away?" Jenn asked.
"We are on the outer edges of the cube, and the centeral plexus is towards the center, and between us and it, are several force fields" Murphy informed her. "Best get a move on then" Jenn replied.
They continued to follow the two officers who seemed to know what they where doing, down corridors which to Jenn appeared to be ones they had previously been down, they all looked so similar, the only thing that seemed diffeesnt was the slightest thing like the number of Alcoves, even so, they pressed on.
Murphy raised her hand, alerting Jenn and the other officers, who stoped dead in their tracks. "There is a force field just down this corridor" she said, "Understood" Jenn fired back sharply. They headed round the corner.
Jen singled for two offers to stay there, guarding from that corridor, another two officers guarded an a corridor which lead down to several borg assimilation chambers. Jenn and Murphy, guarded Telva, as he attempted to gain control of the force fields controls.

Kasumi wished her sleeves would roll up better yet she wished she was in a tank top. Uniforms were nice to look at but she was sweating like crazy between running from her office to individual biobeds and alike. Things had settled down a bit but there were still a few people being brought into sickbay needing attention.
The worst cases laid on the beds in a mini-coma. Thanks to their technology there were very few things that took awhile to heal but internal bleeding and bone damage still needed a good few hours before the patient could return to their own quarters.
"Keep an eye on number two's breathing." she told NPC nurse Mary. The patient had ruptured both lungs and although both had been replaced with brand new ones Kasumi didn't want to get too thingyy.
=/\= Yang to the Captain, =/\= she paused waiting for him to acknowledge before babbling on, =/\= I've sent you the report you needed and the list of crew injuries. Three quarters of them can return to active duty within the week however the rest may need a bit longer and some counseling. =/\=
She paused and waitied to see if the Captain had anything to add.

=^= Understood Lieutenant, bridge out =^=
John sunk back into his chair, wondering how things where going over on the cube, he noticed Cyklus was still talking to Scofield about the contact he had managed to gain on the surface. He got up again.
=^= Roberts to Solaris, how are you progressing over there? =^=

Jenn watched, waiting for any weapons fire, so far they had bein unoticed, despite atteping to gain access to their systems. "Telva hurry it up!" Jenn barked. He didnt respond, she kept her eyes fixed on the corridor leading up to the junction the team where at, then her comm badge chirped, causing her to jump.
=^= Roberts to Solaris, how are you progressing over there? =^=

Captain Fletcher turned to scofield and said,
" hello sir, a contact on the surface has given me some valuable information. there happens to be a small system of tunnels under a village located on this PADD....."
he hands a PADD to scofield showing a detailed scale of the tunnels.
"....its a complex system containing vital supplies, also a population profile is on there. the people here have a small alliance of rebels, some primative weaponry and very few weapons they have captured from pirates, look like old klingon weapons."
scofield flicked tourgh the weapons.

"Its mostly old Klingon disruptors, which are obselite, a few federation type 1 phasers, again no longer in service within the federation"
Michael stoped, watching Cyklus as he looked through the weapons the Astarians had. He then pulled up a more detailed scematic of the tunnel systems underneath the village.
"The tunnels are large enough to hold 100, maybe 150 Astarians at one time from what I can make out. They start at the local Brewry, and have exit points all over the village, I suspect that when you travel mdown, they will not allow you in there for the time being, at least not until we have earnt their full trust, I have also noticed that since arriving there have been several high burts of energy coming from this location" he said, pointing to an area on the map.

=^= Understood, inform me of any progress made=^=
=^= Aye Admiral=^=
=^= Serenity out=^=
The comm link was then severed between the Serenity and the away team, he knew now their fate was on a knife edge, by hacking the force fields termial, they would alert the borg the fact they where freely wandering through their badly damaged cube, and they would put up heavy resistance. John knew that not all of them would make it back alive. In fact, all of them may not step aboard the Serenity again, at least not as pure biological humans.

Jenn could feel her heart race, as Telva got closer and closer to lowering the force field, the Borg still hadn't reacted, much to Jenifers' suprise. "Hurry it up" she barked. Suddenly, A Borg drone left one of the assimilation chambers, and began to walk towards the team, "Hold fire" she shouted.
"Resistance is futile!" she heard it say, it a low dull voice.
"Open Fire" she screamed.
Then, all phaser rifles opened fire, almost at the same time, the drone fell to the floor in heap. Without warning, more Borg began to appear, it was useless, they had quickly adapted, the pahser rifles no longer had an affect, they where finished, she expected it to be a few minutes until they would adapt, no, it was a matter of seconds.
"Telva, how are you doing?" she asked, trying to stay calm, but showed urgency in her voice.
"Im done, we have everything we need, its a...." he repllied, but Jenn stoped him mid sentence.
=^= Awy team to the Serenity, get us out QUICK!" she shouted. Moments later, the away team found them selves back on the serenity, but, where down to people, in the action, she hadn't noticed that two of her officers had either been killed, or assimilated. Jenn felt, for the first time in her career, like she had faild. She left the transporter room in silence, Telva just followed her lead, remaining silent the whole journey up to the bridge, only speaking to order the turbolift to take them both to their desired destination.
They steped off, Jenn headed over towards the admiral, now stood, just in front of his chair. She looked at Telva, he began to explain what he had found, none of which sank in, Jenn was devestated, in all her time as a SMO she had never had to deal with loosing a team mate.
"Colonol, how many?" Admiral Roberts asked, he could obviously tell not everyone made it back.
"2 sir, Hoskins and Reid" she said, still feeling defeated.

The defeated figure of Solaris steped off the turbolift onto the bridge, with Telva in toe. As they headed towards him, he stood, awaiting the news of what had been found. He saw Jenn look at Jason, then he began to explain what he had found.
"I managed to get what we needed to know with out reaching the centeral plexus" he began, "The systems of the Borg cube, are slowly being corrupted, by a rarther nasty virus. Thats whats causing the sporadic behaviour, as the systems are so badly damaged, it isn't doing what the drones ask of it, they may press one thing, and it do another, like randomly beam a few drones some where else" Jason informed him, John nodded, Thank you Lieutenant, your dismissed" Telva then left.
"Colonol, how many?" John asked, he could tell from her facial expression and her body posture, that not everyone made it back.
"2 sir, Hoskins and Reid" she said, still feeling defeated.
"It happeneds Colonol, it wasn't your fault, we all knew the risks of going over to the cube, take some time for your self" John said, he knew she had been shook up by what had happened.
"No, I would rarther not sir, if thats ok" she replied
"It isn't a suggestion Colonol, its an order, I want you to go down to sick bay, have Lieutenant Yang to check over you, and your team mates" John paused for a moment, "After that, your off duty for the next 24 Hours, dismissed" he finished, settling back into his chair once more.

"Right, I think Leutenant Commander we should head down to the planet surface, get in touch with the contact and find out what this source of energy is"
Captain Fletcher grabbed a phaser and a tri-quarter, and headed towards the turbolift.

Michael left the bridge in the hands of a ensign, and followed Fetcher into the turbolift.
"Main shuttle bay" he said, as the doors shut behind the two officers, then they began to decend towards there destination. As they went, they chatted about what they may find once they reachesd the surface, and if there was a possiblility that the Astarians will allow us to take a sample of there DNA.

Jack was holding the serenity in orbit above astar, everything had gone pare shaped on the away mission and now Captain Fletcher and lt Cmdr Scofield were about to go on another away mission. It was all happening. The captain had just grabbed a tri-quarter and phaser and headed for the turbo lift about to exit the bridge. They were going to meet a contact, on the surface. It was a rather dangerous situation , the Borg could attack anytime so Jack was prepared to make evasive manoeuvres as soon as trouble looked like it was going to spring out of nowhere. Jack felt like he should be joining them but obviously his presence was not necessary. They would need somebody to pilot the ship should an emergency situation arrive.
Jack was fairly new to the crew of the serenity B and had been rushed through the Academy being as his skills in piloting were, although unorthodox ad dangerous , were the best in his class. Since then he had been thrown into the crew on the verge of a potentially dangerous mission, being, as his instructor put it ‘just the man for the job’.
He just sat in his seat at the navigation Console prepared for any situation that may arise.

Jenn left the bridge, and following orders headed for sick bay. A thousend what ifs ran through here head, none of which she could make sense of at the moment. Suddenly, the guilt subsided, and was replaced by anger, without thinking she threw her hand towards the wall of the turbolift. He hand bounced off, leaving nothing but a throbing sensation in her hand, but she barely felt it, as now the guilt returned.
The turbolift stopped and she got off, and walked towards sick bay, holding her hand, even though she hardly felt a thing, it was as if somthing wasn't quite comfortable with it. The doors to sick bay opened, she walked through, to be greeted by an oriental women.

"Requesting permission to depart" came the Voice of captain Fletcher.
(Baltimore)
Michael was busy, monitoring the shuttles sytems and reading up more about the Astarian tunnels and chambers. It was strange, non followed a particular patter, and they never converged onto one place of command.
Michael moved to the front of the Argo, and watched as it glided through the space, and then cut through the planets atmosphere lik a knife through butter. Cyklus landed the shuttle, and in unison they steped off, to be greeted by a large crowd of peole, fronted by an oldish looking man.

Jack had the Serenity in a steady orbit. Then the XO's voice came from the shuttle bay.
"Requesting permission to depart"
"Permission Granted sir, Goodluck" Jack replied opening the shuttle bay doors. After he went back to concentrating on the stearing of the ship. On the view screen he saw the planet below him just glowing, it looked like a big blue night light , that you put in a babies room at night. Jack could just get lost staring at it.
But he had to concentrate on the task at hand. He continued to make slight alterations of the ship to keep her in orbit and not drift into the atmosphere.
