"Picking up reading one hundred and sixty light years away, it's large in diameter an our systems can't get a clear reading of what it is or what it's intentions are. How do we proceed sir?" a helms woman aboard U.S.S Galileo, spoke quite nervously and anxiously. The U.S.S Galileo was a science vessel made for deep space travel, the starship could hold up to 560 people or species, two torpedo launchers, with four phasers cannons and two aft laser cannons.
"Can you get any kind of energy reading or some kind of magnified picture on screen. We gotta know what we are dealing with because we obviously know someone is controlling the vessel. Yellow alert and put the shields up." the captain spoke prideful and he sat up straight in his chair.
"Yes captain." the helms woman responded, but immediately afterward started to get to work on the control panel in front of her.
" Captain I'm reading multiple life forms on the unknown vessel and I would suggest trying to hail them before we do anything that might provoke into combat." a young vulcan male spoke with a certain sense of self discipline and logic.
"A sound idea number 2." the captain spoke loudly and with certain look of seriousness in his voice.
"Captain we are getting an emergency distress signal in Sector 6." the helms woman voice cracked as she spoke, she had worried look on her face and than she turned to look at the captain.
"On screen ensign!" the captain bellowed back at the helms woman who's rank was ensign.
The helms woman immediately pushed a button and the screen went on to show a badly beaten human male, who looked like he was an admiral because the uniform he wore, he had a look on his face that could only be described as defeat and he breathed heavily.
"Admiral, my name is Captain Damien Stryker of the U.S.S Galileo, how can we assist you?" the captain stood from his chair, an his demeanor totally changed, his face was emotionless, cold, calculated and he had the weight of 560 lives depending on him.
"Captain Stryker my name is Admiral Geordi La Forge, the space station Atlas has been over run by the Borg, Sector 6 has officially become a war zone and the Borg are winning. Contac-" the screen caught off, but the sound was unaffected.
"We are the Borg, we assimilate you into our cube, resistance is futile!" a cold robotic woman's voice spoke, she was so cold that it chilled the crew to the bone and the captain immediately sprung into action, giving order's left and right to get word to the Federation of the Borg's invasion in Sector 6.
"Ensign To'Vac I want you to us get as close as you can to Federation space so we can transmit that message, Captain to Engineer deck? Gordon?" the captain was multi-tasking, all the while the Borg were out here and now he knew it was just a matter of time before they came an got them, but the ship wasn't going down without a fight.
"Red alert! All hands be ready for combat! We know how the borg fight and we know very little about there weaknesses. So be careful, Captain out." Captain Stryker didn't know if this was a winning battle but he wouldn't give up this ship, he went into his quarters and summoned the computer emergency protocol simulation artificial intelligence
"Captain Stryker, how may I be of assistance?" the program knew some sense of the situation through the systems of the ship.
"Two things. First I need to send an emergency transmission to the Federation as soon as we are in range. The second
