OOC: No clue. Have you tried PM'ing him?

Ooc: yes I have. Will just have to wait ad see

Cole soon wakes up shocked at how long he actually slept.

Cole: any new report from Tmar on there progress or that blip I detected earlier.

Bridge Officer: Sorry sir, no luck on that unidentified contact, but the Hudson says they're still running tests on the Thalaron Shields.

Cole: very well. Keep on it.

Cole walks onto deck 28. A deck on the valiant that is filled with trees a rivers and lakes. Taking a long walk through the area trying to relax after all that has happened.

*Soval is in the holodeck, running a program of the Forge on Vulcan.*

Voice *Soval's head*: Varanus. Varanus. Varanus.

Soval: A return signal. *He places a finger on his temple to silence the interlink node.*

What is happening?

*The Hudson.*

Chester: We're almost finished here Valiant. We're just disposing of the radiation and we'll be on our way back.

T'mar: I'm still feeling something, but it's a lot closer.

If it's a manned ship, they're jamming me.

Chester: Hold on. There's something coming through on the deflector. It's a sub-band communication. Hold on! I know that signal! It's a Borg transponder!

Hudson to Valiant! Red Alert! We've got a Borg Ship out there! I repeat, we have a Borg ship out there! We're heading back now!

T'mar: What about the radiation?

Chester: Flush it into the warp core. We'll jetisson and let the anti-matter deal with the radiation.

T'mar: Right! *She hits a few controls on her console.* Done.

*As the runabout docks, a Scimitar with obvious Borg features decloaks in front of the Valiant and unleashes a bombardment of missiles, some adapting and passing through the shields and almost derelicting the Valiant. On the bridge, a transmission of a Romulan with hair shaved off and some kind of tattoo of a raptor across his forehead appears on screen.*

Romulan: Hello there. I am Subcommander Darov of the True Romulan Star Empire.

My commander wishes an audience with your Captain. Refusal would be unwise. He shall board a shuttle and travel to our ship in that fashion.

Cole: stand by.

Cole turns around

Cole: do we have anything on that ship.

Agent: Negative. Agent Chester's on his way up sir.

What do we do?

Agent 2: They've given us an ultimatum. 'Surrender or be destroyed'.

Cole: sighs. I will take my fighter and go over. If any thing goes wrong me an sirena will detonate the omega bomb held on my fighter. Try to contact any other shield ships in range.

He looks around the bridge again before he walks to the hangar bay.

*As he walks to the hangar bay, Chester catches up and walks beside him.*

Chester: This is insane. You know that right?
