Heading for the Communication Array, what meets them is an utter mess. [[Hallia Yellir|LT Yellir]] orders standard repair efforts - if expedient - but the sabotage is thorough. | Heading for the Communication Array, what meets them is an utter mess. [[Hallia Yellir|LT Yellir]] orders standard repair efforts - if expedient - but the sabotage is thorough. [[Hallia Yellir|LT Yellir]] - struck by a moment of brilliance - realizes that communications could be piggybacked onto the external sensors, allowing them to get a message out to Starfleet Command after all, when an explosion rocks the Artemis. After gathering her senses, [[Hallia Yellir|LT Yellir]] realizes that internal comms have died as well. | ||

In charge of locating the saboteur, [[Genkos Adea|Cdr. Adea]] and his team head into the bowls of the ship, the Betazoid fatigued with concern about the danger they're in. While they still have no evidence beyond the saboteur's handiwork, [[Kel Solas|Ens. Kel]] carefully voices the theory that either the saboteur has access to very advanced technology or has intimate knowledge of the ship's systems. Either option is distressing, but not so much as the third voiced theory. This close to DS9 and the main staging area of the Dominion War of years past, the questions poses itself: What if the saboteur is a shapeshifter? Elsewhere on the ''Artemis'', an Internal Security Sensor register PO3 Domingo Martinez, Ens. Marcus Li and Crewman Toro Nubar in the Secondary Sensor Control Room, performing their designated tasks. Ens. Li relieves PO3 Martinez, before producing an unknown object from his bag and going with Crewman Nubar into the restricted area with the sensitive sensor equipment. Moments later, an explosion sounds, and only Crewman Nubar exit the room again, disappearing out-of-view of the Security Sensors. | In charge of locating the saboteur, [[Genkos Adea|Cdr.

The explosion knocks the turbolift temporarily out of service, and triggers emergency lights on the surrounding decks. Heading to Deck 13, the trio of officers arm themselves and head towards the site of the sabotage. | ||

Settling into their positions on the Bridge alongside the Delta Shift crew, [[T'Ama|LtJG T'Ama]] ensures that the viewscreen provides the Bridge with a video feed inside of the Cube, piggybacking off of the signals from the away team's tricorders. With their primary focus on assisting the away team with their own scans and maintaining a transporter lock, tension is high, but it is nothing compared to the alarm that occurs when suddenly, an explosion occurs in the Secondary Sensor Control Room, rocking the ''Artemis'' and killing the sensors. | Settling into their positions on the Bridge alongside the Delta Shift crew, [[T'Ama|LtJG T'Ama]] ensures that the viewscreen provides the Bridge with a video feed inside of the Cube, piggybacking off of the signals from the away team's tricorders. With their primary focus on assisting the away team with their own scans and maintaining a transporter lock, tension is high, but it is nothing compared to the alarm that occurs when suddenly, an explosion occurs in the Secondary Sensor Control Room, rocking the ''Artemis'' and killing not only the sensors, but also restarting every bridge console and knocking out all phaser arrays. Accessing the computer bank, [[T'Ama|LtJG T'Ama]] locates a video feed from the site of the explosion, and what appears on the video causes her to suggest a hypothesis: Have the Borg assimmilated Changelings? | ||

Heading into the Cube itself, [[Addison MacKenzie|Cpt. MacKenzie]] leads her team to Transporter Room One to outfit themselves with the necessary equipment. En-route, [[Gila Sadar|LtJG Sadar]] recounts the exploits of Lieutenant [[Sheila Bailey]], the then-Assistant Chief Medical Officer of [[Starbase 118 Ops]], who spearheaded the development of a new anti-Borg medication when attempting to cure the assimilated crew of the [[USS Nimitz|USS ''Nimitz'']]. While the medication is years old at this point, and thus there is a very real possibility that the Borg nanites has adapted to it, the medicine is added to the first aid kits of the two Medical Officers. Upon arming themselves with weaponry and other essential equipment, the group is then transported to the Cube itself.<br> | Heading into the Cube itself, [[Addison MacKenzie|Cpt.

Arriving on the Cube, the away team is concerned upon discovering that there are no lifesigns in the immediate vicinity, and indeed, for quite a distance. It looks - as the scans claimed - inert and abandoned, but [[Savel|LtJG Savel]] urges caution. Nothing seems visibly wrong with the Cube, so surely there'd be no reason for the Collective to just abandon it in this way. | Arriving on the Cube, the away team is concerned upon discovering that there are no lifesigns in the immediate vicinity, and indeed, for quite a distance. It looks - as the scans claimed - inert and abandoned, but [[Savel|LtJG Savel]] urges caution. Nothing seems visibly wrong with the Cube, so surely there'd be no reason for the Collective to just abandon it in this way. Concerned by the fact that none of their tricorders register lifesigns despite the Cube having only appeared in the Badlands a few days ago, [[Addison MacKenzie|Cpt. MacKenzie]] orders the group to descend onto a lower deck to locate an access node, so they might get some answers. En-route, the team has a brief stop prompted by an unclear registration of an intermittent lifesign, but with no conclusive evidence, there is little to be done. On the lower deck, however, the team happens upon a lone Borg Drone wandering erratically along the corridors, but most alarmingly: the Drone's lifesign is not registered. | ||
<br>As the team stealthily moves towards an access node, Doctors [[Gila Sadar|Sadar]] and [[Quentin Beck|Beck]] attempt to configure their tricorders in a manner to be able to register the Borg lifesign, but their efforts are unfruitful before the [[Addison MacKenzie|Captain]] manages to locate an access node. Upon accessing it, the [[Addison MacKenzie|Captain]] reveals that the drones seem to be in a sort of 'hibernation', awaiting a trigger that will eventually activate them again. What that trigger is remains a mystery, so the [[Addison MacKenzie|Captain]] deems it pertinent that the team head further down into the Cube to locate a peculiar power signature. Barely has the team started moving before [[Gila Sadar|LtJG Sadar]] manages to find the necessary settings to register the masked Borg lifesigns, prompting a cascade of newly registered lifesigns. Not only is the Borg Cube not abandoned, but rather teeming with hibernating drones. She attempts to contact the ''Artemis'' to alert them to the required alterations to sensor settings, when her attempts at communications are met with silence. The away team has officially lost contact with the ''Artemis''-A. | |||
