Kara *annoyed*: That's the 3rd time this week...
Triss: Well we are pretty much on the brink of civil war and have the arcadians to worry about. ITs annoying but I can understand them really wanting us to be ready.
*OOC: I will get back to the Arcadians soon enough.. Had to figure somethings out. But I think I ought to move some things along. If Coulson and anyone else is there should be fun..*
*UNSC space Borg Vessels arrive and soon begin to invade the Planet on the border of the UNSC, Republic, and Federation.. The alive drones stay back as their dead breathren begin to beam down on the population center already infected with the disease.. *
*In a morgue*
Jim: TRIBBLE.. Borg.. get to the shelter..
*A thump and crash is heard from the doors behind him.. then more as the mist begins to form...*
Jim: *squinting through the mist trying to find the way out, hears cries and stabbing wounds.. * Greg? Nancy..
*A drone hand grabs him from the mist and injects nanotubes into his neck leaving sickly grey invading his bloodstream..*
*Casval sits infront of a terminal digging through archives trying to place that face he saw on the viewscreen. He does come across the files of a long gone family member.. who was assimilated in his career.. Becoming the spear point of the Borg invasion of Deferi and the elimination of the Breen.. *
Casval: That can't be right.. He has been dead for a long time.. Would the Borg even retain him in their collective mind after all those changes by the Elibisi...Decanus of Borg...
Computer did he have any samples of blood taken from him?
Computer: Cannot comply... Access restricted..
Casval: Damn it.. Alright... Computer access the personal file of Chris Allen..
*He looks at the screen*
There has to be a reason behind this..
*In James Jr's quarters*
James jr: Yes Cassie she kicked me right in the groin.. Rather hard kick too..
Cassie: Can't blame her, she was scared out of her mind.. not to mention she had no idea who you are..
James Jr: I know.. and I know you do despite the TRIBBLE you get from some of the family..
Cassi: Like I care at this point.. There was a point in life where I would have cared about their approval..
James Jr: I know but still.. fighting with them is not advisable.
Cassi: Anyway.. that Romulan girl..
*She rolls over to face him..*
Didn't catch your eye did she?
James Jr: After that mule kick kind of hard not to.. Not everyday that happens.
*M.Dani's spying devices give her updates on her counterpart's children but she does notice that one of them is digging into something he shouldn't... but perhaps it is an opening..*
*Her assistant and detail assigned to her comes to her.*
Wedge: Mam.. I have something you should probably see.
Harper: all ships prep to engage once we are all in formation we move on the borg.
The alarm klaxons sounds as crew rush to different positions and pilots head to their fighters and drop ships
*Decanus comes on their viewscreens *
Decanus: We are the Borg. Lower your shields and surrender your ships. We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own. You culture will adapt to service us. Resistance is futile.
*The mist in space seems nebulus looking forming around the Borg fleet reveals their horde of Assimilated vessels. Charging the UNSC 2nd fleet.*
Harper: I'll be damned if I'm going to sit down and surrender thsee people to them. All ships fire at will. Launch all fighters and engage current countermeasures.
Officer: aye sir all fighters launch
Harper: get a message to any other nearby ships I have a feeling we will need all the help we can get.
Officer: sending out a general call of assistance.
Harper: what is it the klingons say today is a good day to die.
" Now the gate has been unlatched headstones pushed aside; corpses shift and offer room ,a fate you must abide."

*OOC: Keep in mind these dead ships are patchwork so it won't be too difficult per se, I try not to be that mean..*
*The borg vessels engage the vessels and soon find the UNSC a tougher prospect, but the numbers are more difficult when the Assimilated USS Titanic arrives...*
Mephiles: I really wish they would stay down they are a great annoyance.
*Skull is in the corner of the office *
Skull: The nightmare of two hundred years is famously known for being durable. But do not worry too much.. The Elibisi were their god and they became one with them. Their nightmare continues here..
but alas I do wonder if your group would like to expand.. If it does there are too many shoal zones that are choking the shipping lanes..
*OOC: Shoal zones is basically a zone of debris from space battles that creates a dead zone in space, much like a nebula. But it is often a sight for ambushes and hiding.*
*Terry is in his ready room when he is filing his report detailed as possible from his department heads. Outside the ready room Alvin is at his station, when Gillian comes up with Sasha.. *
Gillian: That was a close call.. I don't think we could have taken on all those Borg.
Sasha: Yeah even with this ship it is a bad idea to engage them.
Gillian: Worry for your son? He is in the combat zones I hear..
Sasha: No. He knows how to handle himself..
Alvin: What about you Gillian... Where is Lexi?
Gillian: Oh she is off at the Orphanage and part time as a diplomat. Her last message did say that she was dealing with the raucous Republic delegates dealing with adoptions of the children.
Mephiles: I really wish they would stay down they are a great annoyance.

Mephiles: *hasn't aged at all* I am not overly worried about them. They are no threat to my force. Atleast not yet anyway. *turns off the video feed* Well we have expanded a great deal so far. I suppose shoal zones could make for good hiding spots though.
Harper: take them out one by one don't let then overwhelm you. Bring us in to engage their command ship. Prepare to fire all forward weapons.
Officer: aye sir.
*The swarm does come as the tactics change as the left flank is coming under heavy fire.. The Assimilated Command ship dwarfs many of the UNSC vessels and its shields do show their Elibisi origin and it releases assimilated probes that begin to engage the fighters.. The main force is ignoring the UNSC, the actual drones are continuing their invasion..*

Skull: Admirable your expansion.. but not enough.. The shoal zones are more or less there to be scavenged and cleaned up. No one has bothered to do so. I suggest this as a possible action for you to be taken more seriously..

Mephiles: I work in the shadows Skull I don't care for everyone taking me more seriously. After all if everyone thinks you're a threat its a lot harder to sneak stuff by them.
OoC: Skull would probably be one of the few people who actually knows that Mephiles and his organization are the ones in control and the true government behind the Flame Coalition which encompasses many systems now. THe flame coalition uses strange ships and technology different from the rest of the galaxies and their borders are nigh impenatrable. THey pretty much control all information getting out of their systems as noone in the organization is capable of being bribed.(THey are brainwashed to remove such weakness)*

Mephiles: Hmm I was going to ask how are things going with your think tank but oh well. And I suppose I shall take a few shoal zones.
OoC: Not conditioned in the usual sense though. Oh and Mephiles isn't trying to be rude its true that for what he does its best if his organization isn't well known. After all when you pull off stunts like blowing up the republic capital its best if they don't know who exactly to go after.
*The Dead drones converge on the left flank and begin to outflank the center, the patchwork ships may go down but the problem is that there are so many of them.. Seems like to Harper they assimilated more than just the fleet several years ago, but every other missing vessel in the galaxy as well.. The planet below goes silent as Borg signals begin to function on the surface... They have their foothold now.. The actual drones turn their vessels back to them. Harper now faces the combined might of the invasion force.. and much like the Enterprise on the other side of the fence.. Decanus comes on screen again..*
Decanus: We wish to raise the quality of life of all species.
*He raises his hands as the Borg vessels fire off somekind of warhead at the defeated vessels or the inoperable ones as the dead begin to rise again.. Assimilated... Their forces growing again. A memory of the old war against the Old Machines comes to memory...*
Harper: to hell you want to make life better. Commander order all ships to destruct if they cant get out.
Commander Ramn: Yes sir
Harper: Also prepare nova warheads if we cant stop them here we destroy the planet.
Ramn: yes sir.
Harper watchs the view screen as orders are relayed as the 5th attack wing arrives on the left flank and a small number of allied undine ships appear to aide the unsc forces
" Now the gate has been unlatched headstones pushed aside; corpses shift and offer room ,a fate you must abide."
The command ship shakes as it is hit from enemy fire.
Harper: the 5th attack wing wad to overlap with the battle group episolom they came in to far on the flank! Try to patch me through to the undine commander.
Officer: comm systems are down sir the borg seem to be trying to jam all comm traffic.
Harper: work around it. We can't coordinate with comm systems down.
Officer : yes sir.
Republic capital
Osman: burns have a look at this.
Burns and Asher walk over.
Burns: they engaged the borg?
Osman: yes. It would seem Harper is trying to drive them from the system
