Chapter 3

They had surrounded her and started closing in. She looked for a gap in between them but found none. They were Borg.Each of them looking nearly the same. One of them had his arm stretched out in front of him with two worm-like appendages portruding from his knuckles. Slowly they closed in on her and grabbed her arms as the one with his Nano-injectors stretched out stuck them in her neck. She gasped as she struggled to maintain her own mind. The Nano-Probes traveled through her blood stream attacking every cell, molocule, and atom changing them from organic to machine. Her skin color changed to a grayish green and a strange device portruded from her right cheek.Pain shot through her as this happened...but she didn't care for she...was...Borg!

Janeway sat straight up in her bed breathing heavily. It had been a nightmare...a very horrible nightmare. She pulled on her bath robe and hurried over to her mirror to make sure nothing was happening to her. Her skin color was normal except for the fact that she was kind of white and shaky due to the dream. There were no machines sticking out of her and she was very aware of herself. She went back to bed relieved and frightened at the same time. The Borg were a cruel race bent on domination and the aquiring of new technology. The Borg were first encountered by captain Picard where they found out that the Borg were much more advanced than any other race in the galaxy. They were a people who were half organic half machine. More machine than anything else though. They belonged to one mind, one collective. All of they're thaughts were shared by everyone. There were no individuals that thaught for themselves...except for the queen. She was most vile of all of them. No one knows how they came into being or what they once were. All anyone knew was that they didn't want to be one of them.

Slowly Janeway went back to sleep and was awoken two hours later by the signal her terminal gave when she had a new transmission coming through.Reluctently she went over and turned on the terminal to see Admiral Karson.

"Sorry for disturbing you captain but it's a matter of some urgancy."

"What is it Admiral?"The admiral shuffled some datacards around his desk and picked one up.

"This datapad has the location of the Borg.I'm sending you the cordinates now."The data appeared on the bottom of her screen and she looked at it and frowned."The Crion Nebula?Why there?"

"The Nebula has a high level of nutrogenic rays that disrupts senors and weapons except for they're own. Although they don't effect the shields so you should be able to remodulate them to repel the nutrogenic rays so you can fire weapons. But your sensors will still be useless. "His expression went sour."I'm not sure you'll come out of this alive let alone your own selves. If you want I can send out messages from your crew to they're familys letting them know that they might not be coming back."

"Thats very kind admiral. I'll give an announcement before we leave on the mission. Thank you."

"Anytime Captain. Karson out." The screen went blank and Janeway went back to bed.
