Star Trek Voyager/Doctor Who Crossover – Worst Case Scenario: Chapter 7

By

Borg Transwarp Hub, Delta Quadrant spatial grid 986

The enormous structure within the nebula was one of only six in the entire galaxy. The Hubs gave the Collective a decisive tactical advantage allowing it to deploy vessels against practically any foe. Borg transportation supremacy had remained unchallenged for thousands of years, until today.

Out of nowhere an entire fleet of Dalek ships launched a devastating coordinated attacked against the nebula. Forty-seven full sized cubes & spheres protected the Hub. Within twenty standard solar minutes ten remained. Individual Daleks swarmed the Hub itself. The surviving vessels, all but two of which were severely damaged, entered various transwarp conduits fleeing the scene.

Within the Central Nexus the Hive Mind was in a state of total disarray. The last Queen had recently perished at the hands of Enterprise Captain Jean-Luc Picard, during a failed invasion of Earth. The Collective had not yet chosen a successor. The war with the Daleks couldn't have occurred at a worse time for the Borg. Twenty massive Dalek Saucers, along with at least one hundred thousand Daleks, concentrated their fire against the Central Nexus. Once the shields of the Hub collapsed the space born Daleks boarded the structure. Several hours of internal slaughtered ensued. By the time it ended the Daleks had gained uncontested control of both the Hub and Nebula.

Inside the Dalek Mother Ship the Council under the Emperor observed the battle approvingly. "The time has at last arrived. The fold is ours. Prepare to deploy Operation Re-Genesis. We shall crush the inferior natives of this pathetic galaxy! Once more the Daleks will rule supreme! Once more we shall be lords of time and space! All we have lost shall be restored! Once Re-Genesis is deployed the new era shall begin with the subjugation of the alien vessel Voyager home world, Earth! We shall then sweep aside their insignificant Federation. Our battle cry shall be total extermination!" The Emperor shrieked.

"Total extermination! Total Extermination! TOTAL EXTERMINATION!" The Supreme Council repeated.

USS Voyager

The Master hated his current assignment. While he enjoyed messing with less advanced species he preferred being his own man, advancing his own schemes not someone else's. Additionally he detested Daleks. Not because the Daleks had exterminated his own people rather his hatred stemmed from the Daleks' smug sense of superiority, especially that of their creator Davros. One of the major reasons the Master grudgingly respected his primary nemesis the Doctor was because while their philosophical approaches may be diametrically opposed each acknowledged the other as his intellectual equal, something the Daleks were literally incapable of doing. Running his hand through his short silver hair absent mindedly the Master crept down the hallway.

The Master, now neatly attired in a Star Fleet engineering uniform Lt-Commander rank and carrying a box of tools, made his way to Sickbay. The Daleks' long range sensors had shockingly picked up Time Lord Technology here. Entering Sickbay the Master was almost immediately greeted by the EMH.

"At last you have arrived. I assume you are here to repair the replicator unite the Captain all but destroyed." The EMH said in his usual caustic manner.

Ignoring the EMH the Master produced a replica of his own Laser Screwdriver from the box of tools. Activating the device the Master pointed it at the EMH's mobile emitter deactivating the annoying hologram. Picking the mobile emitter up off the ground the Master examined the device carefully scanning it with the Laser Screwdriver. Satisfied the Master put the mobile emitter in his pocket. Searching the laboratory area the Master was surprised by Kes who had just entered Sickbay.

"May I help you, Lt-Commander?" Kes asked noticing his rank.

Quickly regaining his composure the Master replied. "I'm Masters, Lt-Commander Masters."

Giving the blonde alien an apprising look an idea struck the Master. She was rather beautiful in an exotic sort of way. There was always something about her the Master couldn't put his finger on. Her presence caused a slight, yet persistent, buzz in the back of his skull. Could she have natural psychic abilities? Smiling the Master made one of his famous snap decisions. To the seventh circle of the Inferno with the Daleks and their self-aggrandizing plans it had been a long time since he'd had a true partner, or better still a mate. She'd be a great candidate. All he'd need to do was make some changes so she'd be more suitable.

"Odd I don't believe we've met Lt-Commander Masters, I'm the Doctor's assistant Kes." Kes said. The Master impulsively kissed the hand Kes had offered him in greeting. Kes blushed unaccustomed to such attention.

"I know we haven't met before. I could never forget someone so lovely." The Master said laying it on thick. "You said you're the Doctor's assistant?" The Master asked releasing Kes' hand. The Master's body suddenly stiffened.

"The Doctor, you know the EMH." Kes answered. "Speaking of the Doctor I wonder where he is? Maybe I should call him?"

"Ah the hologram" the Master said relaxing.

The instant Kes turned around searching for the EHM the Master took the opportunity to knock Kes out with his Laser Screwdriver, catching Kes in his arms before she hit the floor. The Master gave the unconscious Kes a quick, yet intensive, scan with his Laser Screwdriver. Interesting Kes' species had already undergone some minor genetic engineering. Though extremely short lived due to the malleable nature of her species' genome that was a deficiency easily corrected by superior Time Lord knowhow, in fact the Master should have few issues elevating Kes' lifespan to near Gallifreyan longevity. Coupled with the psychological & intellectual changes the Master planned Kes would make the perfect partner in crime. All he required was the right hiding place where he could do his work uninterrupted.

Placing Kes upon a bio-bed the Master considered his next move. Remembering the mobile emitter the Master removed it from his pocket. Using his Laser Screwdriver the Master performed a series of quick, though complex, modifications to the emitter. Slapping the device on his chest the Master activated it with a grin. A flash of light later the Master had the perfect disguise. He was encased in a holographic facsimile of the EMH, which had been stripped of the both the personality & database protocols. Checking on Kes one last time the Master continued exploring the lab space. Soon he discovered the database containing the medical records of the crew, including preserved DNA samples in stasis.

"Ah the fun I can have with these." The Master/EHM laughed scanning the DNA sequences into his Laser Screwdriver. "Now where were we my soon to be beloved and eventual wife?" The Master/EHM said turning his attention back towards the slumbering Kes. "I best get started on your first round of modifications before you awake."

The Brig

"Let's try this again." Captain Janeway said with a heavy sigh. Following several hours of fruitless interrogation her patience was growing thin. "In what sector is the Apocalypse Weapon located?"

"We have told you before we are exercising our right as your prisoner according to your own laws not to answer." Seven of Nine said defiantly. "By your own standards you have illegally seized this unit. You have tortured this unit. We see no advantage cooperating with you."

"We haven't tortured or mistreated you in anyway." Tuvok retorted.

"Lies you have cut this unit off from the Hive Mind. We cannot survive alone. We are suffering greatly because of your cruelty." Seven of Nine answered. "Your Federation claims compassion for all beings yet you show none towards us."

"Those who perpetrate genocide don't deserve compassion." Janeway snapped.

"We are Borg your concepts of morality mean nothing to us." Seven of Nine said.

"No you are not Borg not any longer you're Seven of Nine, and you're alone." Janeway said taking satisfaction, even though she knew it was wrong, in the arrogant drone's plight. "We'll talk again, when you get lonelier." Janeway said leaving the Brig.

"We are Borg! You will never break us human!" Seven of Nine shouted after the departing Janeway. "The Collective will destroy you! When the time comes, this unit will enjoy watching you suffer!"

Captain Janeway made her way to the Bridge where Chakotay awaited. "Did our guest provide any useful information?"

"No" Janeway said shaking her head, "just the same threats and propaganda. I doubt she'll give us anything useful at least not before it is too late."

"How do you suggest we proceed?" Chakotay asked.

Looking over her expectant Bridge Crew Janeway made a decision. "We're going after the Borg Super Weapon. Even with the recent major modifications to our shields and weapons I cannot guarantee our safety or success. If anyone has any objections now is the time to voice them." The Bridge remained silence. "Alright it is time to put our modified sensors to the test." Janeway said flipping the Sonic Screwdriver in the air. "Start long range scans for transporter signatures, the bigger the better." Janeway put the Sonic Screwdriver back in her pocket sitting down in her command chair.

"Captain I think I've found something." B'Elanna said from her position near tactical, mightily impressed with the modified sensors performance. "There is a massive concentration of transporter signatures roughly Fifty-Three light years from her in a binary system, extrapolating the coordinates now transmitting them to helm."

"I've got them Captain, setting course now." Paris said.

"Engage" Janeway ordered.
