Nassau is a massive rogue asteroid within Ma No Umi. Once a base of operations for the Orion Syndicate, it now houses the survivors of the Borg conquest. Its erratic path through the plasma storms and gravitational anomalies of the region makes it very difficult to find, and the Borg do not seem inclined to bother. To provide protection from even the worst plasma storms, the base itself is located in the tunnels and caverns deep below the asteroid's crust. | |||

"After our time on Depot 39, our intrepid heroes have put right some of Johnson’s sabotage and discovered some of his plans. Alas, but too late—the Gorkon arrives just a fraction too late to stop him using his temporal device. Caught in its wake, they watch the universe change in front of their eyes into one conquered entirely by the Borg." The Federation is gone, and the Gorkon is the last bastion of a time which never happened. In this interlude, the crew must process and reconcile their new reality, in different locations across the ship. | "After our time on Depot 39, our intrepid heroes have put right some of Johnson’s sabotage and discovered some of his plans.

''"But I am going to tell you that you’re not alone. We’re a crew, and we’re a crew who can, and have, achieved the impossible. We will find a way to undo the damage Johnson has done, and we will get home to our families and friends. That’s a promise we make right now, to ourselves, to everyone on this ship, and all those absent who we hold in our hearts."'' - [[Quinn Reynolds]] | |||
The Gorkon is under attack from a Borg Cube, holding her own as best as she can, though she has taken at least one severe blow. In Act 2, the engineers must work together to repair the warp core that has gone offline, as the bridge directs the ships defense with limited options. One team will safeguard civilians, and another prepares for Borg intruders. | |||
====Bridge==== | |||
* Direct the battle. | |||
** '''Team:''' '''[[Quinn Reynolds]]''', [[Jo Marshall]], [[Ayiana Sevo]], [[Cory Stoyer]] | |||
Grappling with an offline warp core, and quickly adapting Borg, [[Quinn Reynolds]] directs the bridge accordingly. Using tactics such as evasive maneuvers, tactfully deployed probes, and considering decoys such as meticulously timed shuttle explosions, the team were up against it. With drones being launched from the Cube, landing onto the hull of the Gorkon in an unprecedented move, Helmsman [[Cory Stoyer]] continued to weave and heave the ship, forcing the intertial dampeners to play catch up. With a suggestion by Rahkmar to reverse the polarisation of the hull, later used though with not enough of a result, Reynolds suggested sending an electric current through it instead; [[Ayiana Sevo]] zapping into quick work, the majority of drones were shaken off. Eventually, the arrival of four ships, Romulan, Klingon and Cardassian in origin, led by [[Kael Tam]] appeared, greeting the ship with a data packet containing crucial EMP information to disable those drones that had intruded the lower decks, the final nail in the coffin for the Borgs initial invasion. - by [[Doz Finch]] | |||
====Corridors==== | |||
* Prepare for Borg Intruders. | |||
** '''Team:''' '''[[Samira Neathler]]''', [[Taelon]], [[Melik Finley]], [[Linna Farvor]] | |||
While handing out melee weapons to security teams on deck eleven, the team of Neathler, Taelon, Finley and Farvor detected signs of nanoprobes that led them to a Borg node on deck ten. Making sure the node was no longer connected to any of the Gorkon’s computer systems, the node was transported to a closed cybernetic lab where the team went in lockdown. | |||
A machine, setup by lieutenant [[Taelon]], dissected the node piece by piece and the team discovered it was constructed from materials mainly coming from species from the Alpha Quadrant. During the ship’s bumpy ride, Borg drones managed to get onboard and lifting the lockdown, the team went to stop them. | |||
Their journey took them to the daycare where they encountered and killed two Borg drones, only to discover they were former crew members. More Borg signs were detected at Sto’vo’kor and just after the team engaged with the Borg, a pulse disabled the drones, leaving the team behind to do the clean up. - by [[Samira Neathler]]. | |||
====Science Labs==== | |||
* Get the civilians to safety. | |||
** '''Team:''' '''[[Tahna Meru]]''', [[Vesela Pace]], [[Nera Ay]], [[Solkon]] | |||
Information loading... | |||
====Main Engineering==== | |||
* Damage Control. | |||
** '''Team:''' '''[[Vylaa zh'Tisav]]''', [[Doz Finch]], [[Gnaxac]] | |||
With the warp core offline, due to a crack in the intermix chamber established during the fight, as well as damaged dilithium crystals, Lieutenant [[Gnaxac]] climbed inside to launch immediate repairs. Lieutenants [[Vylaa zh'Tisav]] and [[Doz Finch]] arranged his equipment as fires and other mechanical issues raged in their vicinity, leading to at least one fatality. Although tumultuous, the core was fixed, but the reinitialisation delayed as they discovered a second microfracture. To prevent fatigue, Finch and zh'Tisav swapped places with Gnaxac and with use of sealant and a welder, worked quickly to repair it a second time, doing so in difficult heaving conditions as the ships inertial dampeners struggled to keep up with its violent thrust manoeuvres. | |||
Once the core was brought back online, they tracked its progress meticulously, disturbed soon after by the arrival of drones that had infiltrated their deck using unknown micro-transportation technology. A deadly skirmish ensued. With blades, Finch defended Gnaxac from a wandering drone, as zh'Tisav and a security team took on the rest. Once the core was secured and safe again, an EMP reverberated throughout the decks, setting conduits and consoles ablaze in Main Engineering, adding the next stage to their Damage Control: Firefighting. - by [[Doz Finch]] | |||
