Fleet Blockbuster: Frontier Day (Artemis): Difference between revisions

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>

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.
