Once the separation is complete, the First Officer starts to direct the evacuation measures and liaise with the staff of Probert Station. The Captain and the crew of the star drive turn to intercept the Borg controlled Enterprise-F before it can intercept the primary hull, hoping to keep the flagship busy long enough for survivors to be beamed to safety. After a brief flurry of weapons fire, they are promptly assisted by the Chin’toka and Narendra before the Enterprise breaks off and goes against the Ambassador class starship. The moment of peace is short lived however; as they are soon faced with the USS Cabot and USS Venture and are pelted with weapons fire…<br><br> | Once the separation is complete, the First Officer starts to direct the evacuation measures and liaise with the staff of Probert Station.

[[Serala]] leads the few surviving Bridge crew back onto the Bridge proper, ordering [[Aine Sherlock]] and [[Daniel McGillian|McGillian]] to battle stations after locking down access to the ship's systems to core personnel deemed free of Borg influence. The intent is explicitly made clear: Whatever else happens, the Chin'toka and its crew were going to fight to the very last minute. As they arrive on the scene to the USS Astraeus attempting to beam people off the beleaguered Spacedock, Captain Mei'konda Delano reaches out to Serala and offers both encouraging words, a plan of attack, and hope in the form of shield settings that seem to interfere with the Borg's signal. Finally, there seemed to be a way to bring their affected crew out without more deaths. | |||
Before the results of those changes could be verified, they see that the Enterprise-F is making a direct line for them and the Astraeus and Sherlock suggests they take her head on, much to McGillian's consternation. They're outgunned, undermanned, and didn't even have a full complement of torpedoes on board. Serala is faced with the difficult choice of how to best direct the ship in its first fight since its refit. The ship is saved from having to engage the Odyssey-class by the arrival of the {{USS|Narendra}} and three other ships that have come to investigate just what the heck is going on. Orders are given to face off against the USS Minor and USS Iniaeu with the assistance of the USS Aegis. | |||
In the ship's Security Complex, [[T'Ama|Three of Twelve (T'Ama)]] was leading the Borg gathered there in an assault on the Armory and the defenders there find themselves flanked by [[Sylvie Doucet]] and [[Kimberly Stapledon|Kim Stapledon]]. One Security Petty Officer takes charge of the ragtag group of officers and, acting upon orders given by Aine Sherlock, coordinates a fighting retreat into the ship's Armory. In the middle of the battle, they find that all the ship's sidearms have been remotely deactivated by Serala's command, leaving T'Ama the sole person on the deck with a working phaser. With the ship's weaponry rendered useless, T'Ama partially fries the control panel to the Armory, locking the human survivors within and leaves for Engineering. Kim Stapledon follows. Sylvie Doucet, having suffered a head injury via a pistol being slammed into her face, is temporarily out of action. When she gets back on her feet, Sylvie speaks with her dead father in the process of finally being able to combat the Borg's utter control over her mind and body. Convinced that something was going on with her brain, she ends up injecting herself with a stimulant from a surprisingly well-stocked medkit in the hopes of disrupting her own central nervous system to shed the Borg's control once and for all. | |||
[[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. | |||
T'Ama gets bitten in the attack. Due to Xiron and Brodie's tinkering informed by the data from the Astraeus, Stapledon's dream world is shattered and she comes back to a very pain-filled reality. In spite of all that was wrong with her in the moment, she calls out to T'Ama an in attempt to distract the Borg, giving Is'Kah an idea. Is'Kah taunts the assimilated T'Ama to try to get her to snap out of it and resist and earns a resounding slap across the face that dislocates her jaw. Ilsam resorts to a Vulcan nerve pinch, more or less, to knock T'Ama out and tells Is'Kah to stop biting people before taking T'Ama to Sickbay on his way to reporting to the Bridge. | |||
A fighter pilot, Lieutenant Jelanna Zarax, has fought her way to Sickbay on Deck 10 and comes upon a seriously injured crewman. [[Leenaya Edrei]], one of the ship's newest medics, runs into the scene and begins treatment. They attempt to move the patient to Sickbay, a risky move without the use of transporters, only to find Sickbay locked and sealed. Edrei contacts Alexander Brodie to get his help to get inside. Ilsam's arrival gets them inside and Brodie comes back to Sickbay to help out following the successful implementation of shielding against the Borg signal. Doucet comes back to work following a hit of Tricordrazine, followed shortly by a very injured Stapledon. The work begins on getting the crew patched up enough to continue their work. All assimilated crew are now unassimilated thanks to the blocking of the Borg signal. | |||

With the situation looking increasingly bleak, and Lieutenant Caldwell @●● Christopher Caldwell monitoring their quickly depleting weapons, Esa and 101 quickly declared control over the Cabot’s and Venture’s transporters, forward sensor arrays and warp core ejection sequences. However, the excitement is short-lived. Lieutenant Ral @Wyatt Ral soon reports that the shields cannot survive much more of a beating, that the warp core containment field is dropping and the deflector dish, previously modified to block the Borg assimilation signal, is now offline.

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. | |||
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. | |||

On the Bridge, Serala and Sherlock coordinate the ship's attacks against the Inaieu, Passchendaele, and Ypres after taking the Minor out of the fight. With a mixture of prefix codes, high mobility tactics such as the Picard Maneuver suggested by Ensign [[Kel Amir]], copious usage of explosives in the form of discarded warp cores and torpedoes shamelessly stolen from pretty much anywhere Ensign McGillian can find them, and support from fighters and the Aegis. The Inaieu is the first of this wave of opponents to be knocked out, allowing the Chin'toka to focus on the Passchendaele. Kim Stapledon makes a finding about the Borg signal: it's interacting with subspace piggybacking off tetrion frequencies. She suggests launching a shuttle to fire bursts of tetrion particles to disrupt the signal, causing a temporary loss in local Borg command and control. The suggestion is approved and shuttle launch, just in time for Stapledon to announce a new arrival to the brawl - the Vimy Ridge. The ship also receives, belatedly enough, the SOS and warning broadcast sent out by President Anton Chekov and Serala issues new orders to find his pod somewhere in the battlefield. The shuttlepod that was modified for tetrion bursts intercepts the Belleau Wood and fires, proving that Stapledon's idea works as the other ship stops in its tracks. After that, McGillian announces good news: The President's escape pod has been found and retrieved. | |||
Down in Engineering, Is'Kah and Ghee'looth continue their battle to keep the ship's power systems from failing as the ship keeps taking hits and the grid hits its limit in several spots. Desperate times call for desperate measures, and they're forced to redirect coolant from some of the ship's computers as well as vent plasma into space to keep the ship in the fight. | |||
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. | |||
The battle for Starfleet's future has been won. | |||
