Cruailsama brought up a point I will cover: "ok a couple things you make the zpms seem like duracell batteries"

On the ZPM subject I didn't explain very well what happened. I think I am going to retype that part. What I meant to happen is when they got out of the wormhole all three zpm stations were depleted/near-depletion, because of crossing through all the multiverses. So they had to replace the depleted zpms.

Then on top of that the Borg's shield inversion weapon was causing a back fire with the shield emitters. I think of it as a one way road and then when the shield inversion blast hit the shield it tried to have traffic go the other way. So if some cars (energy) start going the wrong way on a one way road we would have collisions with the cars going the right way. The shield emitters though advanced were being damaged which end up causing bleeding out of energy to occur. With that being said to force the energy to go the right way, even though there was energy going the wrong way, more energy was pumped into the emitters to force the flow.

Alice started pumping more energy into the shield emitters but they were still being damaged by the energy going the wrong way. This caused the energy requirements for the shield to increase 4.8% times the whole of energy needed. In math it's like this:

100%*1.048=104.8%

(Then another shot of the shield inversion weapon)


(then another shot of the shield inversion weapon)


And so with each shot of the shield inversion weapon the power requirements would go up to keep the shield active. The borg cubes were constantly firing their weapons and so the shield power requirements were shooting up. Now they did replace ZPMs with fresh ones. And they would last, but the Colonel felt like the Borg would keep coming and coming and coming. Alice alerted him of the power issue of the shields. Also the Shield emitters are still being damaged by the back flow of energy so there was a chance of the shield emitters being destroyed if the power requirements got too high and too much energy were going through the shield emitters. So he wanted to retreat, regroup, and get ready to go against them again.

Chapter 9
A few thousand light years from the Borg Station

Seven was an Asuran. His skin was white, and his hair black. He was six foot two inches tall, and has an athletic build. He was not made of blood and flesh like the Tau'ri, but he still had a human form. His face was hawk like, and his gaze would take in every tiny detail possible.

'Space is vast if not infinite' thought Seven as he walked down the corridor. 'Where is Earth from here? One of the Dr. Mckays may know…' The corridor looked like the ones on his home planet Asuras. Seven was dressed in the standard uniform of black and red. The red, on the black uniform, was shaped like blades and ancient lettering along with Tau'ri characters. His uniform read Impetus Adactus Armatus in Ancient, and in English it read Assault Force Soldier. Both Ancient and English were written on the uniform.

An interesting thing about Asurans is that their uniform is a part of them. An Asuran could change his clothing into anything, because the clothes are made of nanites. It is possible to change words written on their clothes or even change the color of the clothes. This made infiltration into humanoid cultures easier for the black ops arm of Black Fleet. This arm of Black Fleet was called Atra Operatio, and Seven was part of it. Seven had planned ahead and downloaded information on the uniforms of the Federation. He knew he would need to blend in and infiltrate the Federation if possible.

Other crew and soldiers walked past him as he moved towards his destination. He knew he was getting when he recognized an egotistic voice of one of the Dr. Mckays. He moved his hand over the door panel that glowed. The action caused the door to slide open. The sight of all the hustle and bustle of the science teams, under Dr. Mckay directions, moving back and forth reminded Seven of an ant hill on Earth. At the center of the room, on a raised platform, was the queen of the hive, Dr. Mckay; was giving orders and looking over several different consoles and laptop computers at once.

Seven moved through quietly and without bumping into anyone, which was quite a feat. Hardly anyone noticed Seven as he moved towards the center. Seven had that affect. He could be in a room and basically everyone in it would forget he was there. He soon arrived at the platform with the consoles all around it.

"Dr. Mckay I need your assistance," in tone that made Mckay jump as he realized someone was behind him.

"Ah, you got me there Drake Do'k," said Mckay. "What do you need help with?"

"Do you have a star chart of this galaxy yet?" asked Seven.

"Yes I do, but why are you in need of it?"

"My commanding officer Zeus would like a copy of it."

"He couldn't have just sent me a message?" asked Mckay in duh tone of voice.

"He sent me, because he figured you were too busy to reply to anything."

"He is right about that. We are fighting one of the most powerful races we have ever encountered. And it is my job to make sure we are ready, which we will be since I am on the job."

"Right. Now can I have the copy now?" growled Drake 'Seven' Do'k.

"Just a minute." Dr. Mckay said with a hint of annoyance. Mckay plugged in a storage crystal and pressed a few keys on the console. "Here you go."
Drake took the storage crystal and moved out of the room effortlessly among all the scientists. He now headed towards the secret hangar. The reason the all of Atra Operatio's rooms were secret was, because they showed up unreachable in the map of the Arcturus Maximus Primus. Usually the rooms had no entrances and only someone with an Atra Operatio IFF transponder could transport to that the room.

Drake looked around and he was alone in the corridor. There was a flash of light as he disappeared from the corridor. He reappeared in the secret hangar. In the hangar there were several ships. There were Stealth Assault Jumpers, a few heavy transports, and a one large Stealth Assault Cruiser. All of them were obsidian colored, and reflective. Atra Operatio was written in Ancient near the command center windows. The command center was attached to the ceiling with the ships below it.

Drake 'Seven' Do'k moved to his personal SAJ. The Stealth Assault Jumpers were twice as long as a regular jumper, and also slightly wider. The extra room was needed for weapons and a hyper drive system. Drake pressed a button on his communicator, which was hidden underneath his sleeve, and he appeared inside the jumper. Running through system start up Drake went through a check list of systems on his SAJ.

"Two mini-drone launchers, and eight mini Asgard plasma beam weapons. Operational. Cloak generator and shield generator are operational also. Hyper drive active, and ZPM station running with no problems." He pressed more buttons as he with through startup.

Mini-drones were a third of the size as a normal drone, but more powerful than regular drones. However, the newest drones that Arcturus Maximus Primus held were more deadly than the mini drones. Like all technology the drones were made more powerful and smaller. A SAJ could carry a larger amount of mini drones than it could of regular drones. Another plus of the mini drones was that scientists were able to create a factory that could fit inside a SAJ.

Now you have to realize that the SAJ is filled with systems from the back compartment of a regular jumper through to the end of a second jumper. Because of this the only livable space is where the cockpit is. And that is smaller than a normal jumper. It is made for one person to be able to live and operate the SAJ alone.

The mini-APB weapons were created by one of the Black Fleet's Dr. Mckays working with an Asgard holo-tech. They compressed the original weapon so it could fit into the SAJ, and gave it eight exit points for the plasma beams. The weapon is smaller than a normal unit, but has the same power. The weapon fires from the eight exit points can only dish out about an eighth of the maximum power from each point. Therefore one could fire eight beams at once, and have the equivalent destruction capacity of a single Asgard plasma beam weapon.

The hyper drive is created from Asgard and Ancient technology. It is small and very fast for a drive of its size. It can travel twenty thousand light years a day. It would take one hundred and fifty days for a SAJ to travel from Earth to Lantea. A daedalus class ship can travel that distance in two weeks.

The Stealth Assault Jumper can cloak and have shields at the same time. This was achieved with the research on the Arcturus Maximus Primus. Early in construction of the ship this technology was figured out. You could have a cloaking field cover over an energy shield if they both have separate systems. Usually a cloak is run over the shields system causing the shields to be replaced by a cloaking field. Both Atlantis and puddle jumpers are made this way. But it was discovered if you could create a standalone system for cloaking then you can have both active at the same time. It took a year after the original creation of this technology before a version of this tech for the SAJ could be completed.

All these systems require power, and a lot of power at that. A ZPM station was placed inside to power everything. This station can only fit one ZPM, but one ZPM can power a SAJ for tens of thousands of years. But if the ship was constantly in battle the ZPM would last only for a few thousand years. Eight had almost ordered his team to take the ZPMs out and have them plugged into AMP's ZPM stations.

Drake had finished his preparations and activated the SAJ. It lifted from its dock into the air and floated. Preparing for the hyperspace jump Drake activated the hyperdrive engines pods. On the SAJ four sections of its hull expanded out and moved back. Similar in design as the engine pods on a regular jumper, but different in size and color. The color of the engine glow was red instead of the standard yellow. The pods were two thirds the length of the SAJ. The hyperdrive engines ran the length of the pods, but the middle part of each pod was wider. At these points were turrets that would direct the Asgard plasma beam at targets.

There were also four other turrets located in front and back. There were two turrets in front and two in back. One of the turrets would be near the bottom and the other near the top. The turrets were able to target everywhere, but places that would hit the SAJ. You could also see a few mini drone port launchers. The port launchers were raised a little bit above the hull and had a hole that a drone could come out of.

Drake activated the cloak, and sent a signal to the command center where it was received by Six.

"Are you ready for your mission Seven?" asked Six from behind the blast proof window.

"Yeah just make sure someone is on the communication stones. Hey have we heard anything through them?"

"No, nothing. Good luck on your journey."

"There is no such thing as luck. But I appreciate the intentions."

"Preparing to transport you and your SAJ out. 3… 2… 1…"

The SAJ transported out of the hangar for there was no hangar door. Drake looked out his SAJ's window and saw the Arcturus Maximus Primus. He could see that construction was being done on the shield emitters that were visible to his view. He pulled up the star chart and plotted a course to Earth. He took one last look at the Arcturus Maximus Primus, and activated the hyper drive.

In the Command Center

"I wonder if Seven will be all right…" inquired Six as he leaned back in his chair. A disembodied voice of the Atra Operatio AI assigned to the eight brothers.

"Six. You must remember that Seven is in a Stealth Assault Jumper. Those things are made for solo missions. It has everything needed for a Tau'ri or an Asuran to live in it."

"I know Wonderland. This is a new universe though, and already we have encountered one of the strongest races in it. Our luck is going sour it seems."

"Indeed. However, I have completely assimilated the Star Trek database that Alice had. I am uploading the necessary information to all of the Bothers' nanite centers now."

"Assimilated? You going Borg on us?" asked Six. Wonderland appeared in holographic form next to Six. He had the look of a ninja from Earth. He was covered in black and had a black mask on. His eyes were red and seemed to glow.

"Resistance is futile Tau'ri!" shouted Wonderland, and gave Six wink. "If you can't beat them you might as well join 'em."

"Right. The Borg don't know who they are dealing with. They will fail and be destroyed once and for all! So join our side for we are the winning side!"

"Where do I sign up recruiting officer?" asked Wonderland in a sarcastic tone.

"Just sign right here in this paper," said Six as he picked up a piece of paper. The AI moved its hand to make a signature with his invisible pen. "Welcome to Atra Operatio Wonderland! I look forward to working with you."

"Man, why do I have to be Atra Operatio?" complained Wonderland, "I rather much be a toaster oven."

"Oh really? I think that can be arranged."

"I will be the best toaster oven ever! I will be able to Rick Roll everyone that uses me! Never gonna give you up! Never gonna let you down! Never gonna run around and desert you!"

"Request denied!" Shouted Six as Wonderland continued singing the song and dancing to it. "I said request denied! Shut up! I get that enough of that back home on Earth." Wonderland continued till Six transported out of the command center.
