Story:Star Trek: Churchill/Borg Attack/Chapter Two

The Federation defense fleet is heading to the cooridnates of the transwarp conduit that is swirling in subspace, as the fleet approaches the conduit.

On the Bridge of the Churchill the red lights are flashing as the crew are all at their battle stations.

Weapons are ready and shields are at full power Commander Grant says as she looks at her console then turns to Colonel Rivers who is sitting in the Captain's chair.

She presses the ship to ship com on the arm rest of her chair.

Churchill to Flagship our weapons are on hot standby and shields are on a rotating modulation and we're awaiting further orders Colonel Rivers says as she spoke into the com.

Acknowledge Churchill Captain Riker says over the com.

Major Nelson looks at the Colonel.

Now we sit, wait, and hope for the best Major Nelson says as she looks at Colonel Rivers and then at Commander Johnson.

She nods at them.

That's right Colonel Rivers says as she looks at the main viewer still.

The Fleet is still at the door of the conduit.

''Colonel's Log supplemental. We've been at the conduit for nearly an hour so far no sign of Borg activity but we're remaining at yellow alert and the fleet is on standby hopefully this goes by fast''

In the Mess hall the crew are eating while the ship is in front of the conduit, Colonel Rivers is reviewing crew reports and ship status reports when the ship shook and the alert status changes to Red alert as the Klaxon's sound.

Colonel Rivers report to the Bridge Commander Johnson says over the com.

Colonel Rivers heads to the Bridge.

The Conduit starts to open.

Colonel Rivers walks out of the turbolift and goes to the chair after Commander Johnson gets up and heads to his console.

The Conduit is opening the Flagship has ordered the fleet to prepare for battle Commander Johnson says as he looks at the Colonel.

Colonel Rivers turns to Commander Grant.

Lock weapons onto the center of the conduit Colonel Rivers says as she looks at the Commander.

She goes to work on her console and looks at the Colonel.

Weapons are locked onto the center of the Conduit.

Something's coming through Ensign Richards says as she looks at her console and then points at the viewer.

The conduit opens and a single Borg Cube emerges from it and approaches the fleet.

I'm receiving a hail from the Cube Ensign Richards says as she looks at her console then turns to Colonel Rivers.

Rivers nods at her.

Richards brings the signal up as the sounds of the cube are heard through out the com as the viewer shows the center of the Cube.

"We are the Borg. Lower your shields and surrender your ships. We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own. Your culture will adapt to service us. Resistance is futile."

Break off your attack or we'll open fire Colonel Rivers says as she looks at the center of the Cube on the viewer.

Irrevlant The Collective says on the viewer.

Rivers looks at the viewer.

Is it you've scanned our forces you know we can match your fire power, so if I were you I'd turn back now before you get your asses handed to you for the third time Colonel Rivers says as she looks at the viewer.

You will be assimilated The Collective says and cuts the transmission.

Then the commands from Captain Riker come over the com.

All ships break and attack Captain Riker says over the com.

Colonel Rivers looks at Major Nelson.

You heard the man attack pattern Alpha 2 Colonel Rivers says as she looks at the viewer as she sits in her chair.

The Federation Fleet attacks the Borg ship firing Phasers and torpedoes as fighters attack the cube as well as the Cube defenses itself with several torpedoes and plasma beams that deal damage to most of the fleet, as the Churchill moves in and fires a spread of torpedoes and Phaser barrage at the cube as it moves between the firing of the Borg weapons and the tractor beam just bounces off the shields of the Churchill.

On the Bridge of the Intrepid Captain Kira is impressed with whoever is piloting the Churchill as B'Elanna looks at the viewer.

That reminds me of Tom's flying a bit Commander Torres says as she looks at the viewer.

Typhuss looks at the Ensign at the conn.
