Chapter 18
Captain Riker fired his rifle at the drone that came down the Jeffries Tube. The blast connected with the drone's skull and killed it instantly. Lieutenant Paris smiled briefly at the Captain and then fired his weapon as well.
"I'm glad we found some weapons with a different frequency." informed Paris as he shot a drone in the chest.
"Me too but I'm afraid these weapons won't last much longer." warned Riker as he fired off another shot.

Admiral Janeway sighed loudly as she listened to the remaining starships commanders talk on the intercom. The second Cube had been destroyed but the first one made it through the blockade. To make matters worse, a small Borg vessel in the shape of a squid, was heading straight for Earth at a very fast speed. Kathryn shook her head in frustration.
"How much longer until the vessel reaches Earth?"
"One minute and counting." replied the officer at tactical.
"How about the Cube?" asked Tuvok.
"The Cube has stopped moving, sir. It's been still for about ten minutes."
"Curious. I wonder what has occurred?" asked the Vulcan.

"Andrew, wake up!" shouted Deanna.
Lieutenant Commander Jellico moaned loudly and slowly lifted his head. Deanna sighed as the Chief of Security finally started to move. Deanna thought he was dead at first but she could sense his emotions from his dreams.
"Commander Jellico, the Enterprise is a wreck and the Borg have kidnapped the Captain. I need you to wake up!"
"My head is spinning." moaned Jellico.
"I know but we have to get this ship running, so wake up." ordered the Counselor.
"What do we need to do?" asked Jellico as he slowly came to his senses.
"I can't move. My ankle is broken. I know you have a broken arm but at least you can get to Commander Data. See if he's alright."
Andrew nodded his head and slugged over to the first officer. Data was flat on his back and his eyes were wide open. A piece of metal stuck out of the androids skull. The sight made Jellico feel creepy. It was as if he were looking at a dead corpse.
"The Commander doesn't look so hot. His eyes are opened and he isn't moving. I think he's dead. Is that possible?"
"I would assume so, Andrew. Comm systems are down, so I need you to get a doctor. Go!" she ordered.
Andrew nodded to the Counselor. He slowly turned to the turbolift but as he approached it, the Chief of Security passed back out. Deanna looked at the fallen officer. He must have a head injury, she thought, now what do I do?
