"I believe we have found the source of the Starfleet Distress Calls, Sensors show the planet is a Federation Terraforming Base and there is no record of it inside our Computer Database." Commander Data stated.

"Scan for Cybermen Technology on the Federation Terraforming Base." Captain Picard orders remembering what the Cybermen Invasion did to the Federation Planets they captured beforehand.

"Sensors confirm Cybermen Technology has been integrated into the Federation Terraforming Base." Commander Data says as the stress levels increased around Captain Picard.

"Are we too late?" Commander Riker asked worriedly.

"Captain, Sensors are showing weapons fire on the planetary surface. There might still be survivors." Mister Worf reported.

"Number One, assemble an away team." Captain Picard says hopefully.


The Starfleet Officers Named Lieutenant Worf, Commander Data and Commander Riker beam down with two Starfleet Security Officers among the trees frantically searching the area around them.

"Tricorder Scans show recent signs of several Federation Phaser Discharges within the last 4 hours." Commander Data reports glancing around the woodlands.

Commander Worf saw Phaser Blasts on the trees in two directions that indicated someone was being chased and the Dead Cyberman in the Unfamiliar Starfleet Uniform.

The Discarded 44th Century Starfleet Phaser Rifle that Commander Worf found beside the Dead Cyberman had Commander Data analyzing it for clues what was going on.

"This is definitely Starfleet Technology, however, I have never seen this Phaser Design beforehand. It appears to be constructed for fighting against the Borg Shielding that the Borg Drones use when adapting to our own weaponry." Commander Data says running his Tricorder Scans on the Future Starfleet Phaser Rifle in curiosity.

Commander Riker made his decision quickly and contacted the Enterprise D.

"Riker to Enterprise, Commander Data will be returning with a Phaser Prototype that appears to be developed against the Borg, the rest of the away team will continue searching for survivors." Commander Riker says.

"Understood, Number One." Captain Picard responds as Commander Data returned to the ship to have the Phaser Prototype Researched.

The four Starfleet Officers continued their search on foot through the woodlands.

"Commander Riker, we found Human Footprints over here." Commander Worf stated pointing to the clear signs of running and the Dead Mule Deer killed by a Phaser Blast.

"Based on the Random Phaser Blasts that hit all the trees here, it looks like this Mule Deer was killed inside a Phaser Crossfire at least 2 days ago." Commander Riker points out feeling uneasy.
