Chapter 6

Borg minds are no place to be

The Illustrious's shields had taken the full impact of the warheads, it had weakened them, and the shock wave had caused the bridge crew to be thrown to the ground and systems to crash, before instantly rebooting.

When the main view screen came back up, Nathan saw the Astex making its attack run of the Thunderchild, as it ran along side the Thunderchild its torpedo launches spat out their photon torpedoes in a devastating broadside attack, as each photon hit the warship a ball of fire and hell erupted outwards, igniting a full chain reaction of destruction. On board the Illustrious Ms Parker looked at the once proud ship, one of the most powerful vessel ever built by Earth Force. It had been ripped apart by just one ship, clutching her head she just kept saying over and over again" NO, No, it's not true, it can't be true NOOOO!"

Looking over towards the Commodore she shrieked "BASTARD", Nathan felt as if something was clawing at his very head the pain was numbing, as he clutched at his head and screamed in agony.

Instantly the Commander drew here weapon aimed and fired at the woman that was now laughing hysterically, who then dropped to the floor.

"Commodore" seven said as she rushed over to him, "Commodore can you hear me?"

He slowly managed to get to his feet with the aid of the chair that he stood next to him, "Yes I think so" he said weakly, "Take that woman to the Doctor."

Seven roughly grabbed the woman by the arm, and with the help of another security officer they bundled her into the turbo lift, "Sick bay" Seven curtly said.

On the way down to sick bay Ms Sam parker started to come round, everything in her body ached, then she recalled this woman, the one that held tightly on to her left arm had shot here.

"Don't try to move, you coming round after a being stunned by a phaser you may feel a little disorientated."

Looking towards this woman that'd shot here, who was she, she looked different? Letting her mind reach out towards this commander she decided that it was time to look inside her mind. Most humans wouldn't even notice a passive scan; she had to find out what this woman intention was?

As she slowly started the scan sevens mind seemed to grab her own, she started to here many, many voice in this one mind, many screaming out in panic, in fear, she tried to pull away, but even with her training she couldn't something had hold of her.

As she tried again a voice, no not one but a collections of voices seemed to form one voice, a chilling soulless voice, it spoke out "RESISTANCE IS FUTILE".

She screamed out in sheer panic as she found herself floating in space in the middle of nowhere, the voices now gone.

Suddenly a small speck caught here attention; it was moving, coming closer, and faster. Then it started to grow, bigger, larger, more threatening, it was a huge and cube shaped, it was like nothing she'd ever seen before. Suddenly she felt something grab hold of her and start to drag her towards this cube; the closer she got to it, the more the feeling of foreboding.

Then within an instant she found herself being pulled inside this cube, passed the super structure, and deeper inside, she could see beings, hundreds of them on many tears, levels and landings, wherever she looked she saw them. And they, well they look hideous they were part machine, some had machinery where there arms, legs and other appendages had once been. Within what seemed like a few seconds she was on a lab table, she'd been strapped securely in with these beings standing round her. Some had pipes come from there heads, bodies they looked at her peer towards her, with emotionless grey faces, then they moved to either side of her, making an alley way of sorts, at the top of which stood one being which started to walked towards her. This being had machinery which covered most of her body, and something mechanical growing out of her eye socket. The closer this being got the more she thought she knew her then she bent over looking at her in the face, it was the commander!

She held up her hand looked admiringly at the appendage, two tendrils shot forward, then turning her attention towards her, "Resistance is futile, you will become part of the borg" with that she slammed the tendrils into the neck of her victim, who screamed.

Within the turbo lift the now hysterical Ms Parker kept trying to bat some unseen foe away, "no…. no…never!" she screeched before passing out.

Within the sick bay the command and the security officer managed to get Ms Parker on the table, from inside the doctor office a slightly balding man walked out.

"Seven what have we here then?"

The commander told him of what had just happened, and the attempt for this woman to enter her mind, which she had stopped.

The doctor looked on at his patient, and start to take out his medical tricorder and take readings, "Thankyou commander I will call if there is any change, with that she walked out of the room and back towards the bridge.
