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).

''She barely had time to brace herself when her face was slapped into the next week. Is’Kah spun halfway around as stars flashed in her eyes, fighting to stay conscious. Her hand came up and wiggled her jaw. The moment she touched it, pain shot through her jawbone. Pushing through it, she felt it go into place, but pain shot up the side of her face from a pinch of flesh between joints. A couple of her teeth on the impact site screamed from being fractured. Trying to turn back to T’Ama, she stumbled a little, almost falling over.''
'''''oO''' That hurt! I expected something, but not that fragging hard. Wait, did she dislocate my jaw? She did! How dare she?! Then again, I asked for it. '''Oo''''|source = [https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-chintoka/c/ddb_YYag4EI Ensign Is'Kah - That hurt!''] - SD 240107.29}}


[[Ghee’looth Xiron]], [[Is'Kah]], and [[Tai Ilsam]]  are hard at work keeping the ship's critical systems out of the reach of the Borg. Commander Perkins, having made his way down there to help out, is utterly aghast at how many safety and health regulations are being broken and rankles under the lower-ranked Engineering officers' brusque demeanors and orders. The potential conflict between them is resolved by Ilsam asserting his authority and talking the reluctant senior officer into helping out. Xiron and Is'Kah use their unique telepathic bond to coordinate their actions and carefully toe the line between disaster and success to get the warp core up and roaring to action from a cold start by gaslighting the ship's systems into thinking it was totally already going full-bore. To finish the process, Is'Kah jumps down a few decks to the lower part of the warp core and finds herself face to face with the invading Borg, led by T'Ama. Xiron gets busy helping [[Alexander Brodie]] restore the deflector screen and tinker with the shields, leaving Ilsam to be the one reinforcing the Vulcan/Trill hybrid.

====Sickbay====
After a turbulent two hours, the Borg threat on the Chin'toka is temporarily pacified for the moment due to the efforts of the unassimilated crew. Now free of the Collective, Sylvie Doucet, T'Ama, and Kim Stapledon all make their way to Sickbay. Doucet introduces themself to Leenaya Edrei as the Asst. CMO after assuring Alexander Brodie that they weren't here to kill anyone. Brodie plays the role of managing triage and nursing assistant to the two doctors as Edrei takes care of T'Ama and Doucet heals Stapledon's injuries and resets her hip. As Stapledon is needed on the Bridge, the engineer-turned-scientist leaves once takes up her post there. In the meantime, Doucet turns their attention to Brodie calling for help with T'Ama as Edrei focuses on the Vulcan hybrid's burns and missing eye. The scene takes a turn for the absurd as their patient breaks out in song. The doctors briefly join in until they get T'Ama calmed down with a mild sedative.

====The Bridge====
On the Bridge, Serala commands the ship in battle against the Minor with the help of the Aegis as the Narendra takes on the Enterprise-F. They use a series of very short, precise warp jumps to run interference for the Astraeus while combating the Borgified fleet. McGillian disables the Minor and Serala orders him to steal as many of the other ship's torpedoes as he can. Stapledon and Tai Ilsam focus on balancing keeping the shields up and redistributing power from as many other systems as possible to keep the Chin'toka in the fight. At the same time that Is'Kah down in Engineering thinks of it, Serala realizes they can use command codes to temporarily disable the other ships and issues orders to that effect.

Down in Engineering, Ghee'looth Xiron and Is'kah are running the warp core ragged and putting out the fires, both metaphorical and real, as they pop up.

====Sickbay====
In Sickbay, Sylvie Doucet, Leenaya Edrei, and Alexander Brodie barely have a chance to relax after sedating T'Ama before the next crisis unfolds. One of the hits that the ship takes has the knock-on effect of setting Sickbay's primarily entrance on fire via a plasma leak. The automated fire suppression systems aren't responding, so the doctors scramble to find an extinguisher. T'Ama ends up finding it as Doucet orders medical staff to move patients from the patient ward that the door leads into the other wards further down the hall. Respirators and supplemental oxygen ensure that minimal damage is done to the lungs of everyone present, but Edrei still manages to get several burns in the process of finally putting out the blaze. With Ward 1 and the main entrance temporarily condemned until repairs finish, everyone regroups in Ward 2 to tend to new injuries, radiation poisoning, and burns on top of the chaos already present.

As the fifth and final hour of Frontier Day celebrations arrives, the President of the Federation arrives on the Bridge and must make a difficult decision. The USS Chin'toka will stay and defend Earth to the last. Will he be among the last defenders of Earth or will he take Commander Serala's offer of a runabout and flee to safety, there to lead the Federation's response to the fall of Earth? He decides he has had enough of running and will stay there to the last.

The crew decides to place its faith in Admiral Picard's ability to pull through with a miracle at the last moment and President Chekov himself flies the ship to where it would make its final stand: solidly between the Borgified Home Fleet and Earth. Stapledon's plan to disrupt the Borg's command network is put in place immediately, drawing on every bit of energy that the damaged Akira-class can put into it. From Engineering, Is'Kah issues the warning that all nonessential power is being directed to the cause of keeping the ship in the fight, even to the point of warning Sickbay that primary power will be shut off there should the shields get low enough.

With Sickbay getting too crowded, Doucet makes the decision to convert the main holodeck to accommodate the additional casualties, relying on its independent power storage. Each of the doctors affirm their commitment to work as normal up until the very last moment as the whole crew hopes for the best and prepares for the worst. McGillian sends the plans for signal disruption to other friendly ships.
The efforts bear fruit as Borgified ships around the Chin'toka show signs of slowing or shutting down rather than maintain the formation necessary to bombard Earth's major cities. There are a tense few moments of standoff before scanners detect the hoped for miracle in the form of the massive Borg Cube exploding in Jupiter's upper atmosphere. Almost immediately, neighboring ships turn friendly once more and begin standing down as Starfleet officers reassert their own personalities and independence.
