**The USS Antares, the USS Prometheus, the USS Mary and the USS Freedom head out to explore the Outter Delta Quadrant**

   **Admiral Williams sat at his chair on the USS Antares.**

   Williams: "Capt. Nyugen, take us out. Set a course for the Delta Quadrant, full slip-stream."

   Nyugen: "Course set."

   Williams: "Engage."

   **The Antares set off to Borg space.**

    ** Commander Redden walks into ready room of the USS Freedom, and looks at senior staff **

   <Redden> " The captain will be away for a short while, until he is back I'm in charge, understood?".

   <Crew> " Yes sir".

   <Redden> " We shall be leaving for borg space within the hour ".

   ** Everyone shuffles out of ready room and resumes their posts **

   <Redden> " Astaway, plot a course for DS9 , warp 8 "

   <Astaway> " Yes sir "

   <Redden> " Engage "

   ** Helmsman Astaway engages as the ship lurches forward **

   <Redden> " We will bring supplies on board at DS9, then slip stream all the way to borg space "

   ** Commander Redden sits in his chair **
 
 

   Vice Admiral Picard walked onto the bridge of the USS Prometheus coming from his ready room, he headed to the Helm console and said:  "Lieutenant Cmdr. Data IQ set a course for the Delta Quadrant, engage slipstream on my command"

   Data:" Aye sir, course set."

   The Admiral walked back to his chair and sat down, he pointed forward as he said : "Engage"

**The USS Prometheus engages slipstream and heads to Borg Space in the Delta Quadrant.**

**The Uss Mary came out of spacefold in the borg confration zone. The shields shimmerd as the went
on line.**

   Dalsip says "Green, get weapons at full prepare for cloking, Engaage.

   Green says "Yes sir, 3 of our ships on the scanner.

   Dalsip "Alright hail them"

   Dalsip says to the ships "This is Admiral Michael T. Dalsip, Welcome to hell and fire and brimestone , be prepared for anything."

 **Dalsip sat with a look as haunting as the borgs,  His face sweated he said to himself** "Damn, Damn, Damn I am not sure if I can handle  them like used to"

   Green steps foreword "Sir, its alright no one has been thought what you have been with the execptin
of 7 of 9 and picard."

   Dalsip smiles "Yes, i know but still i don't want to snap in combat."

   Green trys again "Sir, there is no one able to match you physical powers or you fighting technechs."

   Dalsip at last comes around "Ya, you are right i swear by my fathers name that i will kill every borg I must!"

   Green at ease now "Great sir."

   Dalsip gets ready for combat" alright lets go!"

**Admiral Williams sat at the command chair of the USS Antares. Too bad Captain Nguyen could not
be here on the ship.**

   Williams: "Williams to Dalsip."

   Dalsip: "Dalsip here."

   Williams: "The Borg are no threat unless, we provoke it, I suggest leaving them alone for now."

   Dalsip: "But..."

   Williams: "You have your orders, Dalsip."

   Dalsip: "Yes, sir."

   **The angry Dalsip looked at the bad side. No Borg kills for him for a while.**

**Dalsip stares at the screen with contempt, "Damn Williams, i have never liked the Borg ever since that day they tried to assimilate me!"

   Williams looks back with a sad looking face "Dalsip, i under stand how you feel i can't  know what
you went through, but i hate them as much as you do."

   Dalsip looks back "Alright no killing, For now!!!"

   **Dalsip out**

   Williams "Dalsip...."

   End transmission.

   Dalsip to Seven of Nine " Yes sir?"

   Daslip smiles " Thank you, I am fine for now but if any borg appear i will kill them."

   Seven says "Alright, sir its alright i feel as you do about them."

   Dalsip smiles again "Thank you, seven"

**The Borg were futile at best.**

Tavic: All 4 ships have entered Borg Space.

Williams: Good, helm continue at current speed.

Helm: Yes, sir.

Tavic: Long Range Scanners pick up a Borg Cube and Sphere.

Williams: On Screen. Are they heading this way?

Helm: Yes, sir.

Tavic: The Cube is heading deeper into uncharted Borg Space, however the Sphere is heading for us.

Williams: How far till we are in firing range of the sphere? Hail the other ships, inform them of the
Borg Sphere.

Tavic: Yes, sir. At present speed, 15 seconds.

Williams: Did you hail the other ships...

Borg: "WE ARE THE BORG, YOU...."

"Williams: Ignore that, ready all weapons. Raise shields. All sections report in."

**The Prometheus sailed smoothly.**

Data: Sir, we just entered Borg space.

Picard: Slow to warp one and scan the area for borg. If we find one borg ship we'll find the rest.

Data: Yes sir, scaning area. No Borg within long range scanners, YET.

Picard: The moment you detect borg move out here with slipstream, but for now scan the sector for
anything that will give us info on the borg.

Data: Yes sir, let me talk to the engineer on scanning configuration. *Beeps badge*

Psmav, I'm send you the allignment for the scanners, so we scan for borg technology.

Pmsav: Starting on it right now Commander.

Picard: Now all we have to do is wait.

*They waited patently.**

**The USS Antares slowed her impulse speed to began scanning.**

Williams: "Mr. Kern, began scanning."

Kern: "Yes, sir."

Williams: Good, I'll be in my ready room."

**The Admiral walks out. He is unknown of what awaits him.**

   (Two Hours later)

Williams: "Mr. Dalsip, the ships are in place. Began your run through Borg space, Good luck.

Dalsip: "Thanks, sir."

   **The USS Mary set out to complete her mission. Her mission was was to watch out for Borg, while the other three ships stayed in place.**

**The scans came in**

Picard: Report Mr. Data

Data: I think I've found something interesting, but I'm not sure it's pretty faint readings.

Picard: Well what is it?

Data: It appears to be a massie cloaked object.

Picard: Cloaked? You mean a ship, do the borg have cloaking technology on there ships now?

Data: No, they have the knowledge, but the borg find cloaking useless for their ships.

Picard: So what is it?

Data: I don't know if it is anything. Like I said it's faint. It could be just some
unknown anomoly. We haven't studied Delta quadrant anomolies.

Picard: If turns out to be cloaked. What might be?

Data: The size indicates it to most likely be a planet.

Picard: A planet?!? I had no idea the borg inhabited planets. Why would they?

Data: The Enterprise E, when they went back in time to fight the borg, saw an inhabited Borg planet.

Picard: So that would mean that the Borg have a lot of secret stuff going on that we don't know about. I wonder if the planet the borg originated from, asumming they came from a planet, is cloaked and how would we find the rest of the cloaked planets?

Data: We should focus are efforts on seeing if it is a cloaked planet or not.

Picard: Of course, *Taps Badge*, Psmav, Begin a subspace tacheon scan at Data's coordinates.

Psmav: Yes sir.

*The waiting started again.**

**On the USS Antares.**
   *BEEP* "Enter"

**Seven of nine walks into the captains ready room** "Sir I was having a problem with the
matter/antimatter reaction assembly it was seaming to be fluctuating abnormally but I managed to
stabilise it for now but i think that it would be best to stay on impuse till i discover what happened"

(She Hands him a Padd)

"All the information and my report is on there"

"Thank you, Seven, Keep me Posted your dismissed"

**Dalsip sits looking board**

"I hate scouting missions unless they have some action!"

 Green " Nothing out of the same old same old.

 Dalsip to Williams " There is N...........................Static

 Williams "Dalsip?" "Dalsip?"

 Kern "Located the Mary, sir?"

 Williams "yes."

 Kern " Sir, there gone off our scanners."

 Seven "So much for that cloaking device, Dalsip has on his ship."

 Williams "He just went to cloak look for him later!"

   **Williams thinks to himself** " Dalsip you Fool, never go to cloak while talking."

**The Prometheus held it position**

Data: That's all the scanning we can do, sir. We'll have to take it back to be analyzed at he starb-

Picard: What is it?

Data: Borg. ETA intil arrival 30 sec.

Picard: Red Alert! * Red lights start flashing * Can we outrun them?

Data: No, they took us by suprise.

Picard: How long do you think it will be until more Borg come?

Data: 15 min, sir.

Picard: Any ideas?

Data: They're here.

Picard: Raise sheilds, charge weapons. Let's see what this ship is made of.

**Meanwhile on theMary, Dalsip was having a field day.... Not to his advantage either.**

Dalsip walked over to the tact station "Green, fire at will. I hate Borg."

Green looks at him "sir, are u alright? We are not being chased anymore."

Dalsip laughs "No, where the hell are we anyways?"

Green looks at the console "The Gamma Quadrant, far from were we belong."

Dalsip looks at the screen "Continue course for Delta Quadrant, warp eight. Since our slip-stream is gone."

**Dalsip looked at how long it would take to get home. It would take awhile..**

**On the USS Antares,   Seven waited outside the captains ready room .**
 
*BEEP*
 
"Enter"
 
Seven walked in her head lowered "Well?"
 
Seven raised her head to reveal a large bruise on her temple.
 
"What happened to you?"
 
"I had an argument with an uncoporative plasma injection relay but i finally managed to
   discover the cause of the the malfunction in the matter/antimatter reaction assembly"
 
"And......?"
 
"It was caused by a slight temperature fluctuation. which at first glance could have been a
   simple malfunction as the thermastat was not activated. but further inspection reavealed that the
   thermostats settings had been altered so as to hide the real core temperature so that when the
   warp drive was engaged it would have initiated a warp core breach"
   Seven hands him a PADD
 
"thank you seven. i'll look into this. you're dismissed."

**The Antares remained in the Beta Quadrant.**
 
 

Picard: Brace for impact!

   *The ship shakes violently*
 

Picard: Have you got any ideas yet, Data?

Data: No sir, you'll have to hold up until I think of something.

Picard: No need, I have a idea. Data, Head towards where the suggested cloaked planet is. Tell me when we're within firing range.

Data: Yes sir.

   *Ship shakes Again*
 

Data: Sheilds down to 56%. I hope your idea works becuase we can't last much longer.
   (Pause) We're within range.

Picard: Fire!

   * A volley of photons and phaser shoot into the blue. Suddenly they hit nothing and the
   nothing turns into faint blue & green object.*
 

Data: The borg are changing their course to head towards the planet. The lowering their
   sheilds and they're beaming something.

Picard: Fire at the Borg!

   * Another volley strikes at the Borg ship. The Borg ship explodes into a victory for the
   USS Prometheus.*
 

Picard: How long until the other borg come?

Data: 7 min.

Picard: Beam whatever wreakage you can from the remains of the borg ship and get as
   much information as you can from the planet. Then slipstream deeper into borg space.

Data: Deeper?!

Picard: Yes, deeper. There must be more of these planets and cloaked other things. We need to find as much as we can until we have to head back.

Data: Yes sir...
