"Colonel Trent, the first diamond is in close range of our station." "we have that pyramid too worry about first, it has too come in close range with the base so we can implant the virus, let our scouts take care of the diamonds." "Sir, there are heavy doses of nanoprobes present on the Borg diamonds; I'm guessing they use them for assimilating planets." "Are the scouts out yet?" " ETA: 1 minute sir."

The scout ships of the Species come out of base 10 which is the furthest from the home worlds. They go into triangle formation and 2 fire their upgraded prototypes photon torpedos. "Torpedo's underway sir, the diamonds are trying too evade them but the guidance of the torpedo's make pursuit, a full hit sir. The first diamond is destroyed."

The other 2 diamonds start firing at the ships but only get a couple of them after they are able too launch their single torpedos on the diamonds and destroy them.

"Sir, incoming readings from the Borg spheres…..they...they have photon torpedo's on board sir, a lot and appear too be way better." "What? How did they get those? We where sure that the Borg cube we encountered was destroyed, it couldn't have send the technology of the photon torpedo's too the other Borg ships that fast could they?" "Colonel, new scouts are ready to engage the Borg spheres sir." "Launch them." "Scouts are underway, ETA 3 minutes."

The 15 scouts get in the same formation and 5 of them fire their photon torpedos. The Borg spheres however fire theirs at the same time and destroy the torpedo's before they can hit targets. "Uhm, sir. The first 5 torpedo's have been destroyed sir, the Borg torpedo's seem too be able too predict the course and speed of ours." "Impossible."

The Borg spheres start to annihilate the scouts, and kill them all. "Sir, scouts squadron has been destroyed, should we deploy more?" "No, fall back, order the scouts and cruiser too get back too Star base 9." 'Roger that." "Colonel, the pyramid is close enough too the station we are launching the virus. 5000 micro pods have survived the launch and the remaining are dying rapidly."

Meanwhile the Borg spheres have begun too attack the shields of the station, they do not notice the micro pods approaching the pyramid. "Sir, our station is getting hit hard, shields are down on numerous sections and Borg drones are detected." "Keep sending those micro pods, shut down life support on all invaded sections and isolate them. We have to stay alive as long as possible."

"Sir, micro pods have reached the pyramid, a couple have survived long enough too enter the pyramid and attach too systems and drones. It seems too be working sir, the Borg drones seem too go offline rapidly on the pyramid."

"Contact star base 9; let them engage the Borg spheres." "Sir? Shouldn't we wait for the pyramid to be destroyed?" "NO! Attack them, now! I already encountered the Borg while you where still changing diapers at home, we can not underestimate the enemy."

The virus spreads through the pyramid, Borg drone after Borg drone is destroyed and systems malfunction. "Sir. The virus…it has been stopped. I don't detect anymore in the pyramid, I will dispatch more micro pods." 'Negative. It's pointless now. They have adapted." "Sir?" "They can adapt, that how they knew our torpedo's speed and course, they can calculate faster than a brain. They are not individually controlled by the nanoprobes, its one mind."

"Activate the self destruct, 5 minutes silent countdown, no interruptions. Tell all the stations too evacuate station 10." Yes, sir countdown active…What the..." "What is it lieutenant?" "Sir, the Borg have entered our computers, they have stopped the countdown and took down the shield around the ship." "God help us."

The Borg drones advance rapidly through the star Base, leaving no one alive or unassimilated. They open doors like it's their own ship. Some people get their hands on the standard weapons that are scattered around the base in lockers but the Borg drones had already adapted too those weapons when they assimilated the Nautilus earlier. They are unstoppable, going room by room assimilating people when they get close enough and killing the ones that are resisting with weapons fire.

Meanwhile the cruiser and scouts arrive at their new destination, star base 9. The Borg spheres start firing at star base 10 destroying large parts when the Borg drones are transported back. This continues until the last part of the star base is empty and the Borg destroy the bridge. Colonel Trent is among the assimilated Borg. Inside the spheres the assimilated personnel of star base 10 get processed to function in the Borg collective, their consciousness was already gone the moment they entered the Borg sphere. They get an eye piece which lets them see at night, heat, infrared, UV, X-ray and zoom in too very close range. The nanoprobes inside them start replicating new implants around their hearts, stomach, lungs, kidneys and throat. They enhance the heart so the nanoprobes can support it, they alter the biology of the people so they don't need food too function, just energy. In the brains of the people the nanoprobes install a cortical node, processors, databases, sensor arrays, scanners, emitters, receiver's etc. The whole process for 1 drone takes about 15 minutes. One arm is always removed by another drone (the eye piece is placed by a drone too) and replaced by a bionic arm which can repair, cut, assimilate and plug into various inputs. Then a drone will put on the suit for the Borg drone which connects with his cortical node. Then the Borg is designated and put on an assignment. Mostly the assignments involve doing routine checks of systems on the sphere, scanning an alien vessel, operating weapons, helping other drones or as Colonel Trent providing information and intelligence of the enemy. Meanwhile in Star base 9 Colonel Nexus watches the destruction of star base 10. "We are not going to let that happen to this base, you all hear me? We have to be strong and perceptive." "Colonel, the spheres are heading right for us, they seem to be transporting drones towards the pyramid, as reinforcement for the losses." "Deploy the first wave of scouts, then proceed with the plans, they will never know what hit them." "Roger that."
