Decent, Part I
Data is on the holodeck
playing cards with the great minds of the 20th centuary. Meanwhile
the Enterprise
receives a sitress call from the Federation outpost Aniyaka
III. When they arrive they find the Federation staff crew
have been brutally killed.
Data managed to get into a sealed room and finds some kind
of Borg
in there. It takes a shot at Riker
which misses then Data takes it out. However more Borg come
flooding into the room and a firefight beings between them
and the away team.
Data finds himself in hand to hand compact with a Borg who
trys to strangle him. Data pulls his hand away and grabs the
Borg, snapping his neck - Data appeared to have experianced
anger.
Once they are back on the Enterprise, Data asks himself to
be revealed of duty so he can work out what happened. Meanwhile
the senior staff being investigating the new Borg activity
of not phasing their dead out and showing emotion for their
fallen comerades.
An admiral arrives to take command of the fleet with 15 ships
due to arrive in the area soon in preparation for a possible
Borg invasion. Meanwhile Data talks to Geordi
about his emotional exeriance. He attempts to recreate the
situation on the holodeck.
Later, Data is chatting with counciller
Troi about him attempting to recreate his emotional experiance
on the holodeck and his attempts to create other emotions
such as listening to uplifting opera's. He also says that
he experianced pleasure after killing the Borg.
Enterprise receives a distress call from the New Berlin colony.
The Enterprise plots a course however they then discoverers
that someone paniced when a Ferengi
trade ship arrived in the sector. Picard
gives the order to transmit a copy of Starfleets ship recognising
protocal and "tell them to read it this time." Tentions
are very high.
The Enterprise later receives another distress call and heads
off to a Federation outpost which is under attack. They find
a Borg ship which escapes through a temoral distorten. It
also pulls the Enterprise in.
After around 10 seconds the Enterprise returns to normal
space and the Borg ship launches an attack on it. Borg beam
onto the bridge. They are taken out but not before they can
kill Franklin.
One Borg is not dead and is taken to sick bay. He is later
revived and tells them his name is Crosis. When Picard enquires
why he has a name and not a desegnation, he tells him it was
given to him by 'the one.' When the others are gone the Borg
tells Data that 'the one' can give him emotions and tries
to tempt him.
On the bridge an unauthorised shuttle launch takes place
and they discover that the Borg captive and Data are aboard
it. They try to stop it but Data over rides the commands.
The shuttle triggers a trans warp donduet and disappears through
it. The Enterprise works out how to trigger one and follows
them, ending up 65 light years from where they started.
They find a planet which the shuttle has landed on and Riker
beams down with a well armed security team. They find the
shuttle abandoned as it had been for 3 hours. Picard beams
down to the planet as does most of the crew to form search
parties leaving Beverly
Crusher in command with a skeleton crew on the Enterprise.
Meanwhile one of the search parties which Picard and Geordi
in are scouting for Data and the Borg. Troi climbs to the
top of a hill and sees a large structure which deos not appear
to have been built by the Borg. They go inside and find that
it looks like a meeting hall.
Suddenly Borg swarm in surrounding them and trapping them
in the middle of the hall. Then 'the one' appears on a platform
at the end - it is Lore
and Data is accomanying him. To be continued...
