Baltar and the scattered remains of his team ran to the Raptor, he looked back at the steadily approaching drones; he sucked in a lungful of air then turned back to his team.

"Can any of you fly this thing?" Baltar asked the three scientists while trying to catch his breath.

"Yes, just about," one of the scientists who was starting to shake as he lowered himself into the pilots seat and started the engines.


Boomer and Chief Tyrol looked around from where the Borg had surrounded them, but had then stopped,

"DNA analysis reads major anomalies in regular human, you will be held for further analysis to determine threat to the collective. Resistance is Futile; your technological distinctiveness will be added to our own."

They looked at each over and moved into each other's embrace as they thought they were about to die...


"All power to starboard thrusters try to break us free!" Adama shouted to the technicians on the bridge.

"No response, sir" Lieutenant Gaeta responded as the console next to him overloaded causing him to cry out as it burnt his right hand.

"Tell all fighters to fire on the Cube, we need to break free." Adama said turning to Colonel Tigh to give the order.


"Alright you heard the order, fire at will," Apollo order the rest of the squadron as they fired all of their weapons at the Borg cube, however all they did was bounce off of the cube's shield.

"We do not understand your need to resist, we are perfection we wish to improve all life-forms in the universe, your culture will adapt to service us. Resistance is and always has been FUTILE"

The Cube moved slightly on its axis until a white beam of energy fired from the side of the cube, it impacted the side of the Galactica and then began to carve straight through the hull like a hot knife through butter in a circular motion easily penetrating over five decks.

The DRADIS console exploded in Tigh's face with shrapnel cutting into his head causing him to lose consciousness. The bridge was being filled with smoke and flames as five decks were tractored out of the hull by the Borg cube.


The Raptor slowly exited the Borg shuttle bay and began to proceed back to the fleet.


Boomer and Chief Tyrol were led by drones deeper into the Cube's structure until the are enveloped in a strange blue energy field...


A Borg drone beamed onto the CIC of the Galactica, it briefly looked around before moving towards Gaeta's console. It roughly pushed him out of the way and then extends assimilation probes into the computers screen which are swiftly taken over by the Borg computer virus.

"Fire at will," Adama coughed to the marines who turned to the Drone and fired all of their bullets at the Drone, all of which just bounced off the personal shield,

"We have analysed your defensive capabilities as being unable to withstand us. Resistance is Futile"

The small Raptor suddenly lurched forward as the Borg tractor beam began to pull them back in to the internal bay.

"We're being pulled in, that's it." Baltar said looking at the fleet and the crippled Galactica and closed his eyes.


That's it for Episode one, episode two will show the arrival of the DS9 crew and a very annoying guest star.
