Chris: Well you have been wrong before.. but something was odd.. I think it assimilated him.. but the thing is..
*Shelana.. comes over the comm on the Khitomer..*
Shelana: Sir the ship is changing into a silver colored ship.. its got some kind of field over it..
Chris: Hold position but do not fire..
*He feels some kind of pressure in his head.. as the sliver streams over into his skin through contact.. he feels a tremor and starts convulsing.. trying to make sense of the clamoring noise within his brain.. but the thing is not taking him over. its like both are confused as to what is going on.. *

Eight: Hmm... Maybe we should blow that ship up?
*Ryan looks at Chris.*
Ryan: Doctor...
*Varenn takes her tricorder and checks Chris' condition as Ryan speaks with Eight.*
We can't. This is a first contact. We have to at least try to communicate with this lifeform.

*In Chris' head he is trying to understand the thousands of voices in his head.. but its just as loud as three stadiums filled with thousands upon thousands.. of people in them.. He sees something of a planet.. of life.. but it is just not making sense. *

Shelana: What energy is that?
Bat'rak: I don't know.. It doesn't match any known signatures..
Kimber: Mam I am keeping on the move but if we can't do enough damage we are in trouble.
*Kara is trying to scan the ship and find someway to do more damage or get a moment of levity *
Kara: I don't know what this energy is but it is fairly more charged than the phasers of the period. Given the energy markers its not Phasers.. Its some kind of mixture I don't recognize..
Shelana: Hurry up Kara.. We need something..
*The ship is rocked again.. with one of the beams striking the shielding of the saucer..*

Bat'rak: The Self Destruct by all chances isn't even functional.. besides Nine has been trying to figure that sort of thing out.. Its not the sort of thing that he can decipher..
Kara: It might be physical contact that is require or telepathy..
*Sick bay on the Khitomer both Kara and Chris are hooked together...Chris in his head is noticing a lapse in the noise of the voices.. but something is strange as he is not losing control of himself. The scanners on him are detecting something coming off at least on a smaller scale. He can feel himself and the entity.. A hive like mind experiences and memories from thousands of years.. The Enterprise B came across them and a similar incident occured..*
Chris: I still don't understand...
Assimilated Valak: *Speaking in a loud voice with many voices and lives.. *
*Outside Kara is straining.. *
Kara: This entity.. I don't think it means us harm.. But
*She hears the Nurses surprise including Pim*
Pim: Captain Allen is experiencing some kind of change... I don't know what it is.. but his brain waves are showing a capability of telepathy..
Kara: *Surprise is etched on her face.. * How is that possible..
*In his head*
Chris: *Feels further pressure as he is getting the feeling that the entity is angered at something but is also confused..He furrows his brow..*
If you can understand me.. We don't mean you any harm.. I don't know what happened but lets speak on it..
*The area around him is flurescent pink with blue and green about as there is calm and hesitation..*
A. Valak: *In broken english* Ship.. Not under... stand..
Chris: I couldn't understand you either.. but please stop attacking we can work this out..
*He feels Kara present and trying to fumble around.. *
Chris: Kara you can stop.. I have this.. I dunno how this happened.. but the chance is here..
*Kara lets go.. and she grimaces in pain her head pounding like a nail being hit repeatedly by a hammer. *
*The Assimilated Enterprise B ceases its attack and stops.. Causing some confusion on the ships.*
T'Val soon arrives at rator having finished his current mission as he beams down he heads toward the senate chamber. Upset and angry as he gets ready to enter he hears someone call his name. He heads towards a hall where he heard the voice to find irons waiting.
T'Val: human how did you get here!
Irons: please you know I have ways into every political center of any power.
T'val: what do you want.
Irons: you go in that room and do what you plan to you won't leave rator alive.
T'val: and why should I believe you.
Irons: because deep down you know it is true. Your a fine officer but more importantly your a decent person. This simply hands the tal shiar a reason to get rid of you.
T'val: so what I'm to go along with what they are doing!
Irons: for now yes. A time will come for you to take a stand but now is not that time.
T'val looks behind him as he hears someone approach and turns and sees irons is gone. He stands for a moment in thought before he heads outside.
" Now the gate has been unlatched headstones pushed aside; corpses shift and offer room ,a fate you must abide."

Dannover: I don't understand. That should have worked...

Nurse: Doctor.. what do we do?
Shelana: Get Ryan on the comm.. Nine.. We need our Captain back.
Eight: I wonder. *hails the other ships* Do you guys think we could activate the self destruct to destroy that ship?
Nine: This is a first contact situation but we cannot seem to communicate with them..
Eight: Yes but they have show themselves to be hostile and the Enterprise clearly had first contact before us and that failed.
Bat'rak: The Self Destruct by all chances isn't even functional.. besides Nine has been trying to figure that sort of thing out.. Its not the sort of thing that he can decipher..

*Kara arrives in a hurry *
Kara: Doctor they assimilate through physical contact or telepathy let me do it..
Pim: I don't really agree with letting you take the risk.. but.. *She takes out the proper medical equipment and hooks her up to him..*
Be aware that..
*Kara is already at work but grimaces at the thunderous voices in his head. *
Shelana: There is no way we are going to destroy this life form.. Ryan.. what happened to the Captain?

*In Chris' head*
Chris: We were sent here to figure out why the Enterprise B was sending out a distress signal..
A.Valak: *Still broken English* Sent.... to to to to ... investigate.... so much war....
Chris: Right now yes... Our protocols with first contact are quite different than what they were. But this is unorthodox. What is happening to me...
A.Valak: *Remains silent but changes its demeanor as it changes around the area as a cool blue..*
Chris: You don't know do you..
A.Valak: No..
Chris: What can we do to come to an arrangement.. what sent you out here?
A.Valak: The... Borg... Demons.. of .. air... and shadow..

Pim: It retreated into your tissue but it seems to be inert..
Chris: How did I avoid getting turned into Valak?
Pim: The entity did not know?
Chris: No it was just as confused as well.
Pim: Well right now I can't detect anything wrong.. but your headache problem will probably continue..
