{{Chin'toka}}

{{LCARS-bar-heading|Frontier Day: Phase 2|COLOR=#400000}}

On orders from Captains [[Mei'konda Delano]], [[Roshanara Rahman]], and [[Addison MacKenzie]], Commander [[Serala]] and her hand-picked crew used the duplicated command codes of Admiral [[Tristan Wolf]] to board and commandeer the recently repaired {{USS|Chin'toka}} in hopes of evening the odds against the Borg cube headed for Sector 001 (aka, Earth).

{{LCARS-bar-heading|Hour One: Committing crimes to save Earth since 2401|COLOR=#400000}}

[[Mei'konda Delano]] gave the order to [[Esa Kiax]] & [[101 and 000]] to hack Starfleet and gain access to Fleet Admiral [[Tristan Wolf]]'s command authorization codes and then told [[Serala]] and [[Sylvie Doucet]] to go steal the {{USS|Chin'toka}}, a freshly fixed Akira-class that Cpt. Delano once commanded. With no idea how ready the ship actually is, given that it's still floating in drydock and wasn't actually supposed to be launching anytime soon, Serala brings together a small group with a variety of talents to bring over and Doucet puts together a box of medical supplies in case the ship has none. On the flight over, Serala is challenged by none other than the reason she has mandated anger management sessions: Daniel Perkins, now a Commander but still sporting the broken nose and attitude. Since she can't punch him over the screen (sadly), Serala bluffs her way into command of the Chin'toka with the help of forged orders with equally forged authentication codes.

Once on board, a motley assortment of Starfleet officers under the firm belief that their transfer orders were legit take stock of the situation and then meet up in a Conference Room where Serala summarizes the situation for everyone and hands out assignments: Lt. Commander [[Aine Sherlock]] as her FO, Lt. Commander [[V'Len Kel]] as Chief Medical Officer and Second Officer with LtJG Doucet as Assistant CMO, Commander [[Tai Ilsam]] as Mission Specialist, Lieutenant JG [[T'Ama]] as acting Chief of Operations, LtJG [[Ghee’looth Xiron]] as acting Chief Engineer with Ensign [[Is’Kah]] helping her out, Ensign [[Daniel McGillian]] as the senior Sec/Tac on board, LtJG [[Kimberly Stapledon]] as Chief Science Officer (much to Stapledon's surprise, considering she was an engineer before), and Lt. Commander [[Alexander Brodie]] as Counselor.

Before everyone leaves to start working, Serala breaks the news: They were here under entirely false pretenses, using forged credentials. This is shocking news to everyone, of course, but they all pledge to stay here for the bigger goal of saving Earth and the Federation from whatever the Borg and Changelings are plotting.

''She turned to Perkins, irritation beginning to give way to anger.''

In the middle of launching the ship and Admiral Shelby's speech, the Borg's signal is broadcast and the newly assimilated portion of the crew announce themselves in unison before plunging everything into chaos. Among them is T'Ama, the surprisingly well-armed Chief of Operations. The half-Vulcan takes the dubious honor of attempting to assassinate her new commanding officer. Sherlock's Security training and experience kick in with the goal of protecting the ship's Captain. Serala shoots out T'Ama's eye, finishing off the job that a random piece of hail started. McGillian, meanwhile, is fighting off a headache and assimilation, succeeding in the latter but not the former. He forces a path to the captain and retreats with her to the Ready Room, freeing Sherlock from getting completely beaten down by the Borg in the process.

T'Ama, having taken the Bridge, attempts to install the Fleet Formation software but Serala is quick to react by locking out the consoles in the Bridge as well as T'Ama's own authorization codes.

''Three of Twelve allowed herself a self-satisfied smirk before stepping over the smoking debris and leading her unit out of the brig and towards the adjacent armory. They were about to become a whole lot deadlier.''|source = [https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-chintoka/c/asoxCQVbFjY Lieutenant JG T'Ama - So Anyway, I Started Blasting''] - SD 240107.20}}

Stapledon, before getting locked in there, had brutally put down at least one crewman and was on her way to sabotage the ship when she ran into Brodie. The two fight and it's Kel's quick thinking that ends that fight after Brodie pushes her into Sickbay. While Kel and Brodie discuss how to deal with this, Stapledon and Doucet plot a way back out by using a laser scalpel to cut through the bulkhead and force the ship's own fail safes to open the door and bring down the force field. They gain their freedom of movement to find that Brodie, Kel, and Nurse Rox escaped elsewhere and take the opportunity to use another laser scalpel to sabotage the deflector dish and a couple of unfortunate Security crewmen on their way to Engineering.
