The new warp drive had been taking them deeper into places uncharted with great success. New astrometric charts would prove invaluable for future fleet ship. Jack had only one worry, the Borg. A few sightings of known materials used in their ship designs and even a few ships nearby, but so far there had been no skirmishes or need to run. Not one to take any threat lightly, she finally brought the new shields online for testing. When scanned they would appear as basic encoding; standard issue; but with one command let the fireworks go! Glowing green eyes poured over the Borg console Hunter had given her once again. It had given so much data and in the last few days she had manage to get it to scan the constant scramble of space static for Borg signals. Fussing away at a relay that looked damaged the red light on the far left of the console started to glowed.
"****....**** #$%^&* ****!" Her heart sank as she raced for the main computer in her lab. "Not now. I haven't fully tested. Computer! Translate!" A cool voice called back to her. "One Borg vessel. Current trajectory suggests our current location with an error margin of 5.8%. Class...." Jack beat the computer to the punch as the image was magnified on screen. With the Borg console wired into her personal computers she was the first to know. Eyes wide, her hands started to fly across the keyboard. Red lights flashing all over the ship. The cool voice echoed across all decks. "Engineering will begin evacuation protocols. Lock down shall begin in 30 seconds. Surround floors will evacuate to upper decks."
The morning and most of the early afternoon had passed in relative ease. The bridge maintained its usual hum of excitement, but nothing more tragic than a split glass of milk to content with. When the claxon bells rolled through the ship, it would be fair to say the bridge was more than startled. From the captain's chair, Hunter looked up at the sound of the claxons blare curious without letting concern show on his face. "Red Alert' Operations What is going on now?"
