Chapter 8:
The Borg cube was moving through the dimensional portal. It's destination, Puckworld. It's goal, to assimilate it's entire population into the collective. Inside the cube the ducks were busy searching for Nosedive.
"We've been searching for hours now and haven't found any trace of Nosedive", said Mallory.
"We don't have a choice, we're here and we probably won't be able to get out", said Wildwing.
"I wonder where this cube is going?", asked Duke.
"Maybe it's going to try to assimilate earth again", said Tanya.
"It might, but it might be going somewhere else", said Wildwing.
"It would seem logical, since the Borg seem to not be able to adapt to the gas, it will go somewhere else", said Grin.
"Yeah, and taking us with it", said Duke. The ducks rounded the corner of a Borg corridor and saw a drone standing by a Borg computer. It looked like it was accessing data.
"I think that drone looks very familiar don't you?", said Mallory.
"It may be Nosedive re-assimilated", said Wildwing, "let's approach it, but slowly". The ducks slowly approached the drone. It finished accessing the Borg computer and it turned and the ducks got a better look at it.
"It is Nosedive", said Tanya.
"Nosedive can you hear us, Nosedive?", said Wildwing as he tried to communicate with his brother.
"It's no use Wildwing, he's doing what the collective is ordering him to do", said Grin. The Borg drone formerly known as Nosedive moved out of the ducks' path and down the corridor until the ducks could no longer see him.
"We have to follow him and get him back to earth", said Wildwing.
"Wait a minute Wildwing, maybe this is where Nosedive belongs", said Duke.
"No, I could never accept that", said Wildwing.
"He could be right, the collective offers him order and discipline that he never really had in his life, that could be his attraction to it", said Grin.
"No, we can't abandon him, besides when we end up where ever this cube is taking us he and all the other drones on this cube will assimilate others, I don't think I could live with that and I don't think you could either", said Wildwing to the other team members.
"He's right", said Mallory.
"Yeah, if we can do anything to stop the Borg from assimilating others than we need to do it", said Tanya.
"I guess we're all with you Wildwing", said Duke.
"Good", said Wildwing. Grin walked over to a Borg computer on the wall. She began to try to retrieve information from it.
"What are you doing Grin", said Wildwng.
"I'm trying to get information on what the Borg may be up to, maybe we can find where this cube is going and who, if they are, going to assimilate", said Grin.
"How can you read their language?", asked Tanya
"When we were Borg, we learned how to access the computer s and to understand their language, even though we're no longer Borg, I found that we can still understand it enough to access their computers", said Grin
"What can you find?", said Wildwing. Grin looked at the screen and she found it. She turned her head toward Wildwing and he didn't like the worried look on his face.
"This cube has entered a dimensional portal and is heading for... Puckworld", Grin said.
"Puckworld, how could they know about Puckworld", said Wildwing.
"They must have found out through their assimilation of all of us earlier", said Grin.
"But they would need very advanced technology to get there wouldn't they?", said Duke.
"Yes, but we've seen the Borg and they have technology that is so advanced it is beyond our understanding", said Tanya.
"We've got to stop them somehow, we can't let them assimilate our home world", said Mallory.
"We're going to do something, and I think the key to stopping them we can get if we can get to Nosedive and the primary assimilation chamber", said Wildwing, "follow me". The ducks were puzzled as to what Wildwing had in mind, but they followed him. It appeared to them that Wildwing thinks that Nosedive is in the primary assimilation chamber, and that somehow if they can access him, they can find a way to stop it before everyone on Puck world becomes a Borg drone.
