Answer to Reviewers:
Please, review!
Summary: a month after the events of Star Trek: First Contact, remnants of Borg technology aboard the Enterprise launch the ship to the moment when Buffy destroyed Adam.
Valentine Manor Lawn
- Tony, before you leave, can I ask you something? -
- What do you want to know? -
- When did your powers awaken? Mine started almost immediately, but I kept them secret. -
- Since I arrived to the 23rd Century I've had this damned immortality, and a bit of telepathy and telekinesis. But if you are referring to god-like powers, they awakened when I fought with you. -
- A exhilarating experience, wasn't it?. -
- Frightening was a more accurate descript...- her words were interrupted by the large boulder that Antonia had been moving with her mind.
When Tony fell to the ground Antonia was already on her feet. She made a gesture with her hand and all over the lawn, underground pipes started to rise from the ground and coil around Tony's limp form.
- I'm sorry, Tony, but I have to deal with Adam myself. Nobody crosses me and lives, well, excepting you. After that, we'll see what we do. -
And she disappeared in a flash of pure darkness, but if somebody could have seen what was happening, he or she would have seen a spark of light in the mass of shadows.
An abandoned warehouse in the outskirts of Sunnydale
The Borg Queen started the systems of the small ship that her nanoprobes had built from the junk stored here. It was primitive, but it would suffice.
Not too far from the ruins of the Sunnydale High School
- Judging by our previous experiences with the Borg, they would have used our tricorders and our commbadges to be transported into the ship and start to hack the main computer. -
Picard pressed his commbadge and spoke.
- Picard to Enterprise.-
Nobody answered.
- Picard to Enterprise. - He repeated, with the same result. - Seems that your theory about how the Borg were going to get that phaser beam was correct, Data. -
- This was one situation in that I would have liked to be wrong, sir. -
- Yes, I know. What we could do? And that goes for you also, miss Summers. -
- Me? -
- Yes, you. From what Admiral Castro told us you face situations like this every week. -
- Well, not exactly like this. I have never faced cyber-zombies which can make you one of them if you aren't careful. Only vampires, evil warlocks, psycho robots and cybernetic frankenstein monsters. - said Buffy. - Oh, I forgot demons. By the way, Xander, where is Anya? -
- Speaking with some old friend to get some fake papers. She had to go all the way to Frisco to speak with him. -
- A demon is going to help her with that? -
- He is a lawyer, Cole Turner or something like that. Apparently he has worked with demons in the past.-
- A lawyer befriending demons, isn't that too cliche-ish? -
- Ahem. - said Picard - Sorry to interrupt you, but can you help us? -
- Well, what is what I can do for you? -
- You studied there, didn't you? -
- Yes, three long years. -
- How is the distribution of the building? The classrooms, the offices, the mess hall, the library, everything you can remember. -
- I'll try. Willow, Xander, Cordelia, correct me if I don't remember correctly. -
Enterprise-E. Environmental controls.
The borg drones were controlling more and more functions of the ship every moment. But what was really important to them was still eluding them. But the codification seemed to follow the same principle as the others in the ship, so it was only a matter of time.

Antonia had appeared several hundred meters from the position of the Starfleet officers. There was no need to alert them about who she was in reality. And she needed to think about what she had talked with Tony. The things that she had talked with Tony were not a trick to make her lower her guard. Well, they were, but were also things that Antonia was really feeling. Once upon a time a young woman arrived in a world ruled by ambition and ruthlessness, and in order to survive had to become the meanest bitch in the Galaxy, so mean that she had almost forgotten that she had been a girl who had been filled with romantic notions of life in the big city, fled home and found the gross reality. A girl who had almost killed herself if she hadn't been saved by a man. Something that she repaid killing him after arriving to the future. Her first victim. And his last words had been "I forgive you.". For the first time in decades she didn't repress her tears when she thought about Duncan McLeod, her first love, and the first blood that stained her hands.
She took a decision, and walked toward the Starfleet officers.
