*As they pass through the cave various creatures watch them from the shadows. They come into a very large almost atrium like area with a small pool of lava in the middle. As they enter a towering minotaur like creature drops down from the ceiling. Its skin is covered in a volcanic rock with glowing lines like lava flowing over the skin. It looks at the group with its 6 glowing eyes and roars its horns spreading outward and spines on its arms growing longer*
Voice: My people were adept in the art of alchemy. We ccreated many great beasts in our times. Now face Gharj one of our early masterpieces.*
*In a hideaway in Republic space, The Think Tank meets once again. *
Jamal: *Older now in the intervening years.* It seems one of our failures continues to hound the galaxy..
Fouler: We under estimated how strong of spirit Decanus of Borg was. But it is not of much concern.. we can defeat the Borg..
Jamal: So why should Skull clean up after you?
Skull: It doesn't matter sir. It is what I do best. But pay no matter to a problem that we can't deal with just yet. How about our support of the rebels?
B'tel: The rebels are easily stoked into doing what we want.. especially in providing what they need. The problem will be the chaotic UNSC...
Skull: A complication but given the current prominent member of Starfleet, they won't expand.
Jamal: What of our support to the current government of the Republic.. hmm?
*He looks to M.Dani.. sitting in the place reserved for her and the family she is technically part of.. Skull sits there intrigued by their counter part. *
*Jheng watches her reaction. A recent addition to the think tank he is one of the few remaining intelligent people among his species. His he's is long and wrinkled with his eyes on sturdy stalks off the sides. His hands are three fingered but his feet are four toed*
Jheng: I still feel the Borg are a danger that must be stopped as soon as possible if only to make sure that there are no stragglers left once they are dealt with.
*Gharj roars and leaps at them smashing the ground. Some of the rock shatters shooting lava into the air a little. He grabs Donovan and throws him against the cave wall*
Malick stood looking out the viewport into space. The facility was hidden in a large asteroid field. His plans had come apart but that wasn't going to stop him. He still had cards to play in the galaxy. With things going the way they where he was turning his attention to the Republic and federation. The current unrest in the republic was full of opportunities if one was smart and bold.

Jamal: Do you have anything to report from your end? How are your counter parts children?
*The Arcadians move provocatively on the Republic Holo Grid towards a certain planet Jampos IX under the eye of Republic command, their scout is on the comm*
Scout: Republic Command.. This is Zulu 8.. We have movement from the Arcadians. They are advancing on Jampos IX, with two legions.

*Dalos Alpha Prime, Admiralty Building. Sam is called down and arrives 10 minutes later from the MoD, meeting the Naval Admiral in Chief, Admiral William Townsend.*
Sam: This isn't a good time, Admiral. The Senate's starting talks about impeachment.
Townsend: I think you'll agree this was worth coming down for.
*He shows her to the strategic map, showing the telemetry from Zulu-8.*
*Gharj Fires out a burst of lava at Donovan. While not having enough range to hit him its sufficient to stop any non energy based projectiles. Harkon throws a grenade at the creature*
Comments
Coulson: sir if we do enough damage here the carrier van fire it's weapons from orbit and do the rest of the job for us
U.fury: good let's do what we can and learn what we can while here.
A few moments later Coulson and the tact team arrive.
Coulson : so we get to go down into that. Always wanted to go into a hell whole.
He gives a small smile as fury keeps from smacking him. They begin making there way down.
Voice: My people were adept in the art of alchemy. We ccreated many great beasts in our times. Now face Gharj one of our early masterpieces.*
*The Borg vessel doesn't make a move as the Enterprise J begins to make its retreat.. *
Wade: They aren't going to attack.. ?
Terry: We aren't a threat to them.. They wanted us to see what they could do..
*Casval sits down trying to process something in his head, Valeris is in her seat trying to do the same. *
Rissa: Why would they do that?
Casval: How is it that Decanus of Borg is still around? That is more of the appropriate question..
Terry: One of many.. Helm.. Give us a quick getaway..
Jamal: *Older now in the intervening years.* It seems one of our failures continues to hound the galaxy..
Fouler: We under estimated how strong of spirit Decanus of Borg was. But it is not of much concern.. we can defeat the Borg..

Raina: you should rest.
Harper: not yet still need to figure out how to deal with this mess.
Donavan: you have got to be kidding me!
U.Fury: take it down quick I don't want to have to call in my ace card yet.
Jheng: I still feel the Borg are a danger that must be stopped as soon as possible if only to make sure that there are no stragglers left once they are dealt with.
Donavan: OK ugly you want to play let's play.
While firing his suits repulsors and micro launchers he also fire a number of high frequency devices

Harper: so this is what we are dealing with.
List: yes. I'm putting all of ONI resources into researching this.
Harper: good the sooner we deal with this the better.
A portal opens as Damien arrives.
Damien: by the mystics what have you gotten into!
Coulson: um creature from hell
Damien: no but close. The power used to create something like this is amazing.
U.Fury: less talk deal with the damn thing.
