Bobbi stomped in to the room, his veins still glowing and pulsing, the fire in his eyes dancing. "Xender! How could you do that to us? If you could have just dropped Mercury from the get-go, why didn't you?! You put our lives in danger for no reason!" Bobbi stormed closer, almost in Xender's face. "And now look at Daniel! What happened to him? What kind of game are you playing? Lorik could have been killed!"
<><><><><><><><><><>
Daniel felt numb, floating in black space. Illusions of his family and his girlfriend rushed through the space as fast as light but as slow as a worm. For a moment he forgot she had ever died. He forgot he knew alchemy. He forgot his family threw away his happiness for a sense of false security. He only knew the bliss of family dinners and late nights with her. Without too much time to linger, however, he saw it again. He saw Truth and his smug grin. All the knowledge he felt but couldn't comprehend became clear to him, if only for a moment, and he remembered where he was. His new home. He belonged here now. Xender, Bobbi, Lorik and Lynks. He doesn't know them but they're all he's got.
Sound rushed back in like he was coming out of a deep pool of water. Then with a ringing sound, lingering behind his ears, Bobbi's voice broke through.
"Is this the Maria?"

Xender's auto adrenaline pumps started firing off and Xender posted up to Bobbi "I would recommend you check that attitude real quick, or i will pump you out an airlock faster than you can blink"
Lynks sensing the rising aggression decided to deflate the situation "Mr. Bobbi i understand your frustration but you must understand that with no one left on the ship it was requiring my full attention to keep the ship out of harms way i was not able to launch the mercury until Mr. Xender had returned. Also while the Mercury does have sufficient firepower to complete the task Mr. Xender thought Mr. Lorik's abilities were more than capable to deal with the problem and we did not realize the size of the defending force."
Xender turned and looked at the now resuscitated Daniel "no Daniel we are back on the ship, somehow you ended up turning the station into a giant replica of your face i found you inside unconscious due to over-stress" and with that Xender headed for the cockpit then he said over the ship intercom "Everyone should hold onto something we are getting ready to jump."
With that a large thundering sound came from the back of the ship slowly turning into a high pitched wail, this lasted for several minutes when suddenly a giant jolt of force shot the ship forward. The inertial dampeners straining to keep everything from plastering the rear walls. After a few minutes the ship came to an abrupt halt, Immediately after Xender's voice came over the intercom "everyone come to the cockpit we might have a problem."

Lorik stood watching the exchange between Xender and Bobbi. Once Lynks butted in Lorik walked off to explore the ship a bit. He wondered into the mess hall and stared ceding all the cabinets and ice boxes. When he heard Xender over the intercom he held onto the fridge he was inventorying. After the movement stopped he went back to his task at hand.

Daniel lay in bed toying with his pocket watch until he heard the announcement. As the ship rushed and then suddenly halted, Daniel felt the pocket watch slip out of his hands and bounce off across the room to an obscure corner. In a panic, Daniel jumped up and hunted for the watch, ignoring Xender's call for a few minutes until he realizes he's going to get yelled at and leaves.
<><><><><><><><><>
Bobbi sat in the hallway outside the Bridge when he felt the ship zoom and then halt. Tumbling around the hallway, he stood back up, fixing his hair. He stomped on to the bridge to inquire about the call.

Xender looked tense as if he knew something was wrong on the veiwscreen there was a very large cubical shape floating in front of them "i'm glad you are all here to see this i didn't know what to make of it until i received this audio".
"We are The Borg, lower your shields and surrender your ship, we will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own, you will adapt to service us, resistance is futile"

Daniel ran in just in time to hear the message. "The Borg? Never heard of them. We aren't going to just... hand the ship over are we?"
<><><><><><><>
Bobbi stood in the corner, arms crossed. "No. We're going to destroy them. 'Resistance is futile' my ass. Seriously, Xender. We know the firepower you have now and I bet you have even more. Unless there's a fleet of them, we can definitely take them."

Lorik walks in right after Bobbi's statement with a bowl in one arm while staring its contents with the other. He looks at everyone and sees the cube on screen. He pauses his stirring to raise up his sign with a single question mark on it then continues to stir.

Xender considered his current options, "Okay I'm launching in the maria, Bobbi your with me if i can punch a hole inside i'll need you with me for a boarding party, Daniel i'll need you to stay on the ship in case anything goes wrong, Lorik i'll need you to pilot the mercury for fire support and don't worry Lynks will give you a crash course. Any questions?"

Lorik thinks about it for a moment then walks out stirring his bowl. He goes back to the kitchen and places his bowl batter in the oven and set the timer for 45 mins. He then makes his way to the hangar to learn about this new contraption.

Daniel scratched the back of his head. "Yeah uh... I can hold them off. For sure."
All alone this time.
Daniel made his way to the computers to study the layout of the ship.
<><><><><><><><><>
Bobbi squeezed his fists. "Yeah. I'm ready to go whenever you are. Gonna make sure Daniel doesn't have a single one to take out himself."

Xender climbed up to the Maria's cockpit and started the pre-launch sequence "weapons loaded, guidance system updated, Neural link initiated, Ready for launch." said the Maria in a calm female voice. Xender looked down at bobbi in the co pilot seat "okay Bobbi at first the launch is gonna be a bit disorienting, once we get out there i'm gonna need you to keep an eye on the borg systems if they power up weapons i need to know."
"Lorik i'll let Lynks guide you through the Launch sequence go ahead and launch whenever your ready, we're heading out now."
The Maria's engines came alive with a thunderous roar shacking the whole hangar bay. "Maria let's go for a catapult launch."
"Yes sir." said the Maria
The Maria's engines now drowned out sound all over the ship. As the blast shields rose from behind her, steam hissed from underneath her feat as the catapult readied for launch.
a green light came on the Maria's Launch indicator "Catapult ready."
Xender readied himself for the coming momentum "okay bobbi hold on, Maria launching!"
The Maria shot out of the launch bay with blinding speed, the sheer force of the launch shook the whole ship as the massive mech accelerated, the G restraints straining to keep the pilot's from blacking out.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Lynks wasted no time in explaining the inner workings to Lorik and giving him a crash course in the various piloting techniques of the mech.
"Now Mr. Lorik the Mercury has two Hades repeater cannons that pump out 1000 rounds a minute each round is a high velocity shell with an explosive detention upon contact, i have programmed the Mercury's neural systems to run on auto pilot. The ammunition is now loaded, the guidance system initiated and we are ready for launch."

Lorik nods his eye stalk and takes off as best he can, hoping autopilot will do most of the work. He ponders if this cube is aimiliar to the station they were just at, and if so how big of an EMP will he need this time. As he gets into firing position he suspends the thought for later so he can try to help the Maria somehow.

Bobbi sat in the Maria with white knuckles and a growing grin. "Xender, I've got to be honest. I'm mostly just excited to fight so I can finally decide what you're all about. Daniel's nice and all but he's a little too soft for my taste and Lorik's... well... he..." Bobbi stopped briefly. "Well I've never believed in putting other peoples' lives in danger when there's a better way, but I guess I can give you a shot."

Xender also started to grin "well bobbi while i agree daniel is a little soft his abalities are quite astounding, and as far as risking lorik's life, i thought he was well capable of handling the situation which proved to be right thanks to your own abilities as well."
As Xender was finishing a bright flash of light eminated from the borg cube, Lynks then appeared in the cockpits of the three vessels"I am reading the same jump energy that we found on the planet coming off of the ship. I believe we have another visitor."
Xenders brow raised at the current situation. "Okay Lorik me and bobbi are going to find somewhere to land on the cube we will let you know if it's safe for the mercury to land once we touch down."

Garit quickly looks around and sees these mutelated monsters and quickly ducks behind a near by crate. "I don't understand. I turned off the machine but what was that second machine? Think Garit what was the Dr rambling on about? Something other dimensions and my doom? Well only on thing to do, time to do some scouting." Garit sits down, closes his eyes, takes a deep breath and casts his net across the ship and just sits listening to bits and pieces of the minds on board
