Chapter 1:
Captains Log: seven six five seven one point five(Stardate 76571.5) It's been two years since the Avenger was launched. It's been one year since I took command of her, and we finally get a mission worthwhile. Granted it wasn't assigned, It is vital to the Federation! We have tracked several Borg Tran warp conduits to our coordinates. We play the waiting game. Our Intel reports that two cubes are heading this way. Current analysis has not figured out where they are going.
Sitting, waiting. Never anticipated such anxiety for a specific moment. Shields up, awaiting certain doom. Red lights flashing, warning the crew to stay in our battle stations, everyone on the bridge patiently awaiting. Fatigue sets in, as the crew have been sitting there for several hours, without any action, when all of a sudden, sensors start to go off. Frantic beeping as the Ops officer jumped in panic.
"Sir, incoming transmission from Starfleet Command, broadcasting on Emergency Frequencies to all Starfleet ships, return to Earth, contact engaged Borg Cube, just outside Pluto's orbit" the Ops officer said
"Their already at Earth ? We were tracking them here" Henderson said
"Affirmative, however we are tracking another Trans-Warp Conduit barring three-five-nine mark seven" The Ops officer said
"Sir we have to head to Earth, we're the only sovereign Class Starship within range. The Enterprise isn't within range, and she's scheduled for De-Commission soon. the First Officer stated
John thought about it, technically he's rite, however there was something stirring him up that he didn't quite understand.
"Ensign, what heading are they on ?" Henderson asked the Helmsman
"Two-three-five mark three" Ensign Hemrick stated
"Overlay that heading on the view screen, display the map of the area" John Ordered
Right on the view screen popped up the course of the Warp Conduit, charted within the region. John noticed something more severe than Earth.
"Commander, How many ships do we have in Terran space ?" John asked
"Thirty seven, which is not enough" The first officer replied with more force in his voice. Everyone could tell he was getting upset at John's hesitation
"That's enough, look where they are heading, Their first stop is the outer Romulan colonies, then headed right into klingon space." John pointed out
"So what, let them eliminate the remains of the Romulans, and have them fight off the Klingons, will take some pressure off of the Federation for awhile" the Ex-O stood right up and was now arguing with the Captain, completely distinct on taking the Avenger back into federation space
"Commander, if you would look at the big picture, all the Borg has to do is assimilate the remainder of the Romulan Empire, then they would have a big enough foothold in the Alpha Quadrant to go after the Klingons, once they eliminate the Klingon Empire there would be no stopping them from going after Earth, so we don't go after the one at Earth now, we save billions in the future" John said
"Sir with all due respect, I do not think that's what they are doing, we need......." the commander was interrupted by consoles going off like crazy, trying to get the attention of the crew
"Sir, incoming cube, dead ahead... Analysis indicates it's a Tactical class Attack Cube" the Tactical officer said with fear
"Alright here we go, lock weapons" john ordered, but just then a voice came over the speakers, in a mechanical millions of voices speaking at once
"We are the Borg, Lower your shields and surrender your ships, You will be assimilated, resistance is Futile" The famous Borg liner
The Avenger went into battle, shields up full power. Going up against one of the Borg's most powerful cubes in their arsenal, no federation ship ever built could go One on One with this massive beast. But somehow John did, with the most advance starship current to date, which is about to get outdated soon.
It's been several hours since the battle began, both ships are beaten and battered. Only difference is the Avenger is actually showing it, the Cube is re-routing all power and resources to repair itself. With Quantum torpedo supplies diminished, they have no more hope for survival.
With sparks flying, fire all over the ship John manages to muster up his last command "Helm, set course, two-two-one, full impulse, divert all power to the impulse engines, Engineering, set the warp core to overload, All hands abandon ship" Just then a massive torpedo stuck the ship, shacking it severely and dropping a beam right on top of John, fading to black!
