Chapter 1 Borg Sphere Level 1

On Voyager, the Chief, Munro, Telsia, Chang and Chell stood on the transporter pad.

"The Borg will not attack you until you prove to be a threat. That should give you time to reach sub-junction 37 where you will find the three dampening field generators." Said Tuvok

"Got it, let's go." Replied Munro

The transporter console beeped, the operator pressed more buttons.

"Today." Said Telsia

"There's too much antilepton interference." Replied the operator

"Just boost the signal." Said Chell

"That's dangerous." The operator objected

"Lieutenant Tuvok, Hazard team request permission to get going." Said Munro

"Beam them out." Ordered Tuvok

The five man team disappeared in columns of blue light….

Five columns of blue light appeared then flickered on the Borg sphere. Three of them faded, but two solidified into two humans armed with energy weapons. Munro and Chang looked around and saw a female drone attending a console. It didn't attack.

Munro tapped his combage. "Telsia, Chell? Chief?" he said. Then he contacted Tuvok. "Munro to Tuvok, where's the rest of my team?"

The comm. channel was awash with static but Chell's voice came through. "Chell here. What a rough ride…I think I have transporter shock."

"Status."

"The interference must have separated us. We're lucky it didn't-"

"Status Chell."

"Unharmed…but queasy… the Chief is here with me…My tricorder located you, we'll meet you in-" the channel fizzed out again

"Chell report!"

"Just our luck forcefields we're trapped."

"We'll find you, Munro out. Stay close Chang."

Munro and Chell crept down the corridor. There were plenty of Borg around, but they ignored the Starfleet crewmen. Chang saw a plasma conduit to the left as they came to a junction. Munro looked at the wall behind and to his left and found a distribution node. With I-mods at the ready, Munro fired powerful burst at the node, destroying it and deactivating the drones in the area. Munro and Chang continued until they found a lift. Seeing no other way to proceed they got on the lift and it descended one level.

Chang and Munro stepped off the lift and went down a ramp. There was another plasma conduit over a grating. "Chang, stay alert. When I blow the conduit it could activate the drones."

"I got'cha covered sir." He replied

Munro aimed at the conduit and fired. The explosion shook the deck slightly and blew the grating in. The drones' targeting lasers activated and Chang opened up with his I-mod. Munro ducked and crawled inside the Jefferies tube-like conduit. He crouch-walked to the end of the tube and found another distribution node. He fired again deactivating the drones. "Munro, the drones in here just shut down. You must have destroyed a Borg distribution node." Said Chell.

Munro crawled back out and saw Chell and the Chief behind a yellow forcefield. He approached it. "Munro over here!" said Chell. "I can't modulate this yellow forcefield from here, use your tricorder on that control panel."

Munro nodded and brought out the tricorder. The device interfaced with the control panel and a bar appeared on his HUD. The bar filled as the tricorder modulated the forcefield. When the bar filled the field flickered then died. "The forcefield is down, thanks." Said Chell

Munro destroyed another plasma conduit which blew in another grating. It also reactivated the drones. Chang, Chell and the Chief opened up on the drones using the I-mod. Munro crawled inside the grating again and a green power coupling. He destroyed it which deactivated the green forcefield blocking the team's progress. Munro heard his team stop firing and crawled back out of the conduit. He saw several dead drones on the ground. "Good job, let's find Telsia."

Munro, Chang, Chell and the Chief continued down another corridor, deeper into the Borg Sphere….
