    Yeah, it's kinda hard to adapt to an asteroid impact.

    i intend to...after risa

    *begins dialing up risa's gate address*

    oh, by the way, i got another potential location for you all to explore, through a dimensional rift one of my scouts discovered; not just a single world this time either - an entire sector, populated by humans who apparently fled there from sol after nearly being wiped out by some group called the eastern coalition

    the locals call it the sirius sector...which is odd, considering it's on the other side of their galaxy from where our sirius sector is located

    initial surveys didn't look too promising in terms of advanced technology, but maybe a team will be able to find something of use

    here are the details i've collected so far on sirius - enjoy *tosses a datapad at grand vizier worffan, then finishes dialing risa and steps through the gate*

    what did you expect it was going to be when the guy who originated the thread has a picture of ba'al standing in front of a stargate and a link to ba'al's stargate wiki page in his sig?

    I'll send some minions to check it.

    Hey, you want to do me a favor and check out this portal to a 'verse with this government called the Union of Allied Planets? They don't seem to be particularly advanced based on the unarmed freighter that we held temporarily, but this "River Tam" girl broke the freighter and its crew out while kicking my minions' behinds like a bunch of third-rate rent-a-cops.

    So there's got to be SOMEthing good about that 'verse.

    Sorry... Every ship in the sector was called in to deal with a Borg incursion. Starfleet's policy is to hit them with everything we got and stop them. We lost a couple ships, but killed the Cube.

    Uhhh yeah. We kinda just hit it with a big ole' rock and that worked.

    Starfleet might want to invest in asteroid propolsion from now on...

    C-fractional strikes with fullerened antimatter asteroids. Insanely energy-expensive, out of the reach of anyone who doesn't have all of Sovereign Ba'al's ZPMs and naquadriah generators, but they are SO worth it.

    Well... we have a little bit of inside info from individuals liberated from the Collective. It is possible, but not on a wide scale basis. And I'd suggest locating Borg Transwarp Hubs as well. When Voyager returned to the Alpha Quadrant, she did manage to destroy part of the Borg Transwarp Network. That managed to deal some damage and limit their ability to travel for a while.

    And if anyone's planning on assassinating the Queen... the Borg seem to have a ready supply of replacements. One was killed by Captain Picard when the Enterprise-E stopped the Borg from altering history in 2063. That Queen came from 2371. Voyager reported encounterning another Queen in the Delta Quadrant several years later.

    Glorious Regime hackers have discovered something called the Royal Protocol. Apparently the Borg Queen is basically a CPU for the Borg--everything goes through her sooner or later. If she's killed, the Collective designates a new CPU.

    Theoretically, it should be possible to disable the Collective by killing the Queen and preventing the Royal Protocol from activating. That SHOULD fragment the Collective, with each submatrix of the unimatrix putting its designated goals first.

    (OOC: And let's just ignore most if not all of Voyager's Borg episodes, because not only were they poorly written as sh*t, but they nerfed the borg something awful as well)

    (OOC: I attribute some of that to Undine attacks. They weren't as focused as they were in First Contact. But I do agree... there are episodes that weren't written as well as others. And I've already made my argument at defending Janeway in multiple threads.)

    The Borg are spread out all over the Galaxy, but mostly concentrated in the Delta Quadrant. Might be difficult, but... its possible... Hm... Borg Civil War... might be fun to watch.

    (okay, next set; who's the man in charge of the gate; i.e. the one who gives the order to lower the gate's defenses when a valid code is received ala hammond and landry, and is walter still there as the guy who always announces an incoming wormhole?)

    (OOC: Yeah. Of course. And FYI, Harriman's got a mansion and six Jacuzzi. Hammond's job basically involves rubber-stamping passports and perma-banning people he doesn't like from Earth.

    What? I like Harriman and Hammond! They were good characters, and if I WERE Grand Vizier of Earth, I'd give them a bunch of shinies no matter how much my boss complained.)

    IC: Darth Kuntel, want to just do it from S2E1, or watch the Borg eps only?
