Chapter 10:
Calling of the Guard
Jonathan Archer, Kirk, Montgomery Scott, Chekov, Uhura, Sulu (USS Excelsior); Picard (USS Enterprise-E), Riker (USS Titan), Sisko, Kasidy Yates-Sisko, Worf (USS Defiant) Captain Ezri Dax (USS Aventine), Captains Janeway Chakotay, with about 100 different ships, cruisers and freighters. Some medical ships have arrived in Earth's orbit also. These captains were joined by others: Klingsons: General Martok (IKS Rotarran); Romulans: Tomalok; Vulcans, Andorians, Ferengi: Captain Nog, Bajorans, Trill, and many others that are not named.
All the captains had a meeting with SI (Starfleet Intelligence) to see who will lead the task force against the Borg. Team Alpha is led by Kirk (USS Enterprise-A) Team Beta is led by Picard (USS Enterprise-D) Team Charlie is led by Riker (USS Titan), Team Delta is led by Sisko (USS Defiant) Team Echo is led by Janeway (USS Voyager) and Team Farragut is led by Worf of the Klingon Defense Force, with his son as second officer, under Martok's flag. Team Gamma consists of Neo, Morpheus, Niobe, Rolland, and the Zion ships and crew.
"Captain Picard, we are receiving a hail from the lead Borg cube." "On screen, Mr. Crusher." "WE ARE THE BORG! Lower your shields and surrender your ships. We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own. Your culture will adapt to service us. RESISTANCE is Futile!" Picard put a call on all ships. "All ships, Red Alert. All Hands, Battle Stations. At these coordinates, fire all weapons and retreat when depleted."
The ships and their crews obeyed and many Borg cubes were destroyed, all people resisting assimilation. The Borg Queen called on Picard alter ego, Locutus, but Picard didn't listen. Counselor Troi was there as a guide every step of the way. When the lead Borg cube was destroyed, all of the teams, with all hands on deck, returned to Earth. Many people were commended for their efforts, including the Zion captains and their crew.
