Everything Science Forum

All department and ships.  Report current status, and repairs needed.  Seems like I am recovering from injuries substained, and need to get back to my well behind duties.  Time to get back to work.

Status report:  Weapons control.
It is apparent that our special weapons and shielding secrets have been discovered and duplicated by the opposition.  So Weapons research will need to be high priority.

With the WAN III having been docked, major repairs are needed to bring it back up to standards.  All engineering proposals and upgrades need to be forwarded to my department for upgrades. If the opposition has obtained our shielding, then they might discover a weakness,

Sensor improvements are recommended.  Our sensors still have yet to determain the new location of a whole displaced sector of space...Formally known as Bozoland.  We need to relocate that sector, and dimention.

The kitchen is a shambles, looks like someone did a major banquet and did not clean up after them.  Kitchen detail needs to report for extra duty.

How the heck cut a hole into the roof of the kitchen to my quarters,  That will need to be repaired.

ISS Bozoblaster needs to be returned to testing bay for upgrades and repairs.

New long range fighters will need to be developed, as well as replacing my commanders skit.

All access to those special funds have been cut off, and our fund reserve is depleated.  Ships Merchant, we are going to need lots of funds, and need your special talents to find us those items we will need.  Special scrounger access is granted.

Capt Labatt.  will complete your new ship shortly.  Scans show that if it were brought up to speed at this time, it would fall appart.  Seems to have been put together with very substandard materials as well as designed to hide those flaws, and it was designed that after falling apart, to remake itself into a circus tent.

There needs a tightening of security.  It is apparant that a Bozo agent was sucessful in penitrating our security.

Capt SkyJim, Admiral PLC.  what are your orders??

Dingo, I'm going to hold off on further direction other than getting the ship through initial quarantine clearance and  repairs.  I'm expecting a reassignment from fleet HQ.  My desire to spend some time in academic endeavor may result in new duties.

Skyjim
CO, WAN III

I have come up with a design for the strike fighters and have started writing the software to feed to the construction bots. The crew would consist of a pilot and a navigator/fight engineer with a habitable cockpit size of around 5 cubic meters. I think I have solved the range problem by replacing the standard fuel cells with a small fusion reactor and using 2 small but efficient grav-flux engines. The fighters would be larger than our standard fleet defense fighters. These strike fighters would be armed with twin rito launchers and twin pulse canons or sensors and cameras. The fighters would be equipped with a state of the art cloaking device, however due to its energy consumption weapons could not be charged and fired when it is on. A new prototype of phase shielding could be used to protect the crafts. Due to the size of these craft they would be less maneuverable than the bozo ships but they should be much faster and have more firepower with a range of 66 ly. I estimate the cost to be around 85 million credits each and suggest that we start off with one wing of five. With the admiral's permission I would like to name these birds Mk.1 Phoenix Strike Fighters.

Ships merchant....seeing the specs of the new fighter proposed.  What engines are available on our current budget, or will the proposed engines be easily obtained.

Due to current report that the Bozo ships are upgrading to "Rito" proff shielding, we would need to find a different primary weapon.  Meteoroid, I will pass the design of the new fighter to HQ.  What modifications would you recommend for additional of different weapons configurations, and or cost reduction??

Capt SkyJim...Noted your pending transfer to HQ.  The skuttle-butt has it that you are going to be offered ambassordorship, or transfer to Fleet Acadamy for position of instructor.

Dingo the Fleet is standing by as it seems the Bozo threat are moving away fairly quickly after a stand off and seeing the W.A.N Fleet.  Many ships need repairs and need to be fueled up.  There is a question to whether Nemisis was promoted to the Rank of Admiral.  It seems that Venusdaystar has stated many times that nemisis is Promoted.  Nemisis asked me to ask you Admiral PLC if that was true?

For the fighters I hope to use mainly off the shelf parts from bigger corvette class ships like the fuel supply and engines. That stuff can be made smaller later. The weapons could be mounted in internal pods for easy removal and replacement. As for a new main weapon for now it looks as if we are stuck with some type of particle or energy beam system. We could just equip the first ones with 4 pulse canons or conventional missiles.

*transmission intercept: decode:
Just send me whatever the plans are, I'll make sure to have the parts ASAP. I'm alread going over a few of my favorite parts contractors.*

Meteouroid....Corvette engines are to big for the ships specified.  Fuel cells are too big, we would have to mount them as external drop tanks.  Which for extended patrols would be a good idea.

Suggest we modify existing bombers with long range capibilties.  That would cause us to cut the crew from 3 to 2.

Ship Merchant Nerd, on your next stop to your main supplier.  Pick up 4 stripped down bombers.  We will modify them ourselves.  Also pick up Mark 9 micro fusion units.  The ones we use for the Super Rito's  Quantity of 8. Also pick up 8 "rito powered fuel cells"  We will figure something out.
Meteoroid,report down to weapons bay.  Contact Spacegirlie and Mons for fighter trainng.  Tell them to set you up on the simulator, and throw the works at you.  This will give you the initial insite into fighter requirement basics.  You will need to design the changeable weapons pods.
Mons, Spacegirlie, make sure your flight insurance is current.  We will have some new fighters for testing.

It's the last post under chapter 5.

Roger that, Borg Collective. Unfortunately, after our last skirmish, we have no ships to spare yet to send after them. Please, continue tracking/notification. You are currently our best intelligence on the Bozo movements. As soon as we can, we will send out cloaked vessels to trace the ships.

Dingy, good to have you back. Since we're docked, perhaps we can have dinner tonight?

Mons, Dingo, how about a collimated jet of pure capsicum, for a weapons upgrade?

Haven't seen the paperwork come thru on Nem's promotion; wouldn't be surprised to see it any day though.

This is the Captain.

I'm pleased to announce that scans are complete and we have all received a clean bill of bozobot health.  The quarantine is lifted as of now!

Secure the bridge maneuvering watch.

Special space details may stand down.

Transfer OOD station to the main gangway entrance!

Transfer tunnels are being connected by the yard staff.  Shore leave commences immediately for first and third watches.  Second and fourth watches will follow tomorrow.

To all hands - Well done!

That is all. Captain out.

Admiral, is there a guardian rank?
A person who spots out fresh sector and sets up outpost to guard the sectors from bozo recruitment tactics?
If so, i'd like to put in a request for promotion to Guardian and the WAN IV and all ship belonging to me and it be considered reserved for Guardian actions like negotiations, defences of sectors and scouting for new areas.

Dingo, heres an idea for a fighter based on the minion stream laser fighter.
The fighter has two wings, the wings extend/retract into the side of the fighter to decrease te room taken, it would have a single fusion reactor.
It's equipped with to non-pulse lasers which work like a cutting laser intented to be flown down the side of the hull of a ship to cut long holes in the side of the hull, it has a secondary single missile tube which holds one ship-to-ship plasma missile and one ship-to-ship anti-matter torpedo.
It's crew is one pilot as these ships aren't that big.
I can retro-fit several wings of my fighters to allow personel inside as mine are run by computer, but i price them at 78 million credits not counting personel traing and missile costs.

In the region of space we mentioned before, we have lost a ship. A Borg sphere was traveling in a transwarp conduit when it detected a disturbance in the conduit. They left the conduit to avoid problems, and promptly were destroyed. We believe that they collided with a Bozo vessel. Long-range scans show trace signitures of capsian.

I was bored in study hall so I wrote drew this. This is what I think the strike fighters would look like. Instead of 2 engines I went with 4 for the added speed.
Here is the link: (http://kopper.8k.com/strike.gif[/img)
1: Weapon pods
2: Drop tanks
3: Engine Housing
4: Cockpit/Cabin
5: sensor array
If needed I could easily do a cut away drawing to show how everything fits together. The weapons would be mounted in pods (like a removable hard drive). The pods would then simply be dropped into the weapon bay. Nem's lasers would be a good idea but I am afraid that they would take too much energy. I'm going to make a thread in the weapons bay for further discussion of this. I don't want to clutter this thread.

Admiral, i present a proposal for a sub group to be created with the sole purpose of defending new territory, scouting out suspected bozo influenced areas and gathering recruits. I propose that this group be called either the WAN-Guardians or the WAN-Sentinels and i being the founder and the operator of it.
I also propose that the WAN IV become the flagship of the group if you accept this proposal and all ships of mine become it's force. My current crew can be the members and if anyone wants to join.

Do you decide yes or no, or do we have a vote?

We are having very few responses to any of our posts. We have asked when the attack will be, no response. We asked how many ships you would need, no response. We inform you of the accidental destruction of one of our ships by Bozos, no response. What is the problem?

The only thing we can see is that we asked those questions at SDC. Do you all read there? If not, that would be the answer.

Borg Collective, forgive me. You are most certainly wanted. However, I no longer traverse SDC-space. I am totally unaware of most of the incidents you list. Please provide me a detailed history of events, and I will see that matters are taken care of. Meanwhile, Captain Nemisis is hereby officially denoted (per U.S.H.I.T HQ concurrence) First Guardian of the WAN Guard. You will report directly to me. First Guardian, you will immediately take your fleet to the location(s) provided by the Borg Collective, to investigate these incidents. Report your findings to me before taking action, so that I may provide concurrence.

Fleet Admiral Payloadcontroller standing by for further information.

Dingo, I think we had a night out planned. I will take my subspace pager.

Not much different, a bunch of confusion, and now battle plans. We asked the questions we mentioned before. Most of our activities are directed here, as well.

Thanks Admiral, will investigate that area.

Borg collective, where is the area that you were talking about?

Admiral PLC...Sorry for the delay in responding...of course we have the night out..sending you a page.  Was just busy down in the Weapons bay doing the paperwork on the new fighters requested.  It is a shambles down there. Looks like someone had reprogrammed all of the maintence bots down there to improperly wire and improperly repair things while I was absent. Things will be a lot easier when Aaron of Borg returns

This is the Captain.

Liberty call, second and fourth watches!

(Switching to private loop)

Admiral PLC, my compliments.  If you are unengaged, I'd be honored if you would dine with me in my quarters this evening.  I'd like to discuss my new assignment.

How many times does a lady have TWO such gallant offers?  :) (http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/smile.gif ):)

My thanks to you both, gentlemen; Skyjim, Dingo and I already had plans - however, I would enjoy having brunch with you tomorrow to discuss your upcoming change. The paperwork for it has come in, by the way. It only awaits our acknowledgements.

Which one are you referring to? The area where our ship was destroyed or where the battle is going to be? We have sent the data we have about our ship, and we do not know about the battle plans yet. Does anyone else know anything about it?

We will be having a special "Movie Night" in the Library starting at 1900 hours.

  Tonight's entertainment is a "Little Shop of Horrors" Double Feature, including both the 1960 version starring Jack Nicholson, and the 1986 musical, with Rick Moranis and Ellen Greene.

  Please leave plants in your personal quarters, but bring a friend!

Whichever one is more important, we need to know what the area looks like and what the situation is before we can start with a battle plan.

We do not know anything about the area you are looking to for the attack. If you are planning it for the area we lost our ship, it is a fairly vacant area. No systems within ten light years, no anomalies. Only our transwarp conduit, and apparently, a Bozo trade route.

I want you to be the first one to see USS Alantra.  It is almost complete,  and will be W.A.N. Fleets greatests technological Advancements!  After her final tests she can become the Fleet's Main Command ship.  It took a while for me and dingo to design it and then build it but it is just about ready!  So Admiral at what time can I book you a tour????

Labby, you may book my tour for tomorrow right after I have brunch with SkyJim.

It's done!

Did any of you have problems getting into the boards earlier? We did, and there was a small conversation at SDC about the incident, so we were not the only ones.

Borg, hon, there is a whole h#!!uva lot going on outside OrstioSpace right now, so I have no doubt but that the quietus was put on things temporarily. Hope the Fleet has been watching CNN....

Yes we have Admiral. ;) (http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/wink.gif );)

Admiral, i may have Three recruits ready for training:
My number one Predattack, after he recovers from being hit by a bus i will invite him here.

Goldnsoul, don't much about this person will investigate recruitment chances.

Brotherjohann, he seems to like rpgs will investigate also.

Shal we board Alantra?

Nem, sounds good. Proceed with recruitment as you deem wise.

Waitaminit....a BUS?!?!?!?!

Explanation required, please...

Labby, you may proceed with the tour.

Great. (Labatt opens a portal in front of the ship and the Admiral  enter)...........  This is just the portal docking for incomming vessals.  Pretty extravagent hey.  Admiral name what you wish to see first.

Hey, looks great. Start at the nose and go aft.

The closest thing from here is the Main Docking port.  Lets go.  After we can see the more techno side of this ship in Engineering.

After Engineering we shal head to the fun stuff.  Mess hall, Dining Lounge, and Holodecks.  I could go on and on about all the fun places.  Finaly after that I am saving the Best for the last!  The Main Bridge!

{craning neck as she looks around} This looks great, General. I congratulate you on a fine ship for your troops. :) (http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/smile.gif ):)

Thank you.  I think you will find the Main Bridge our finest accomplishment.

Then, by all means, lead on! I look forward to seeing it!

(Labatt leads the Admiral to a Transmetal Turbolift.  It stops and the door opens.  The Admiral and Labatt walk to the Entrance of the Main Bridge)  Well Admiral....(a long silent awe)...What do you think?

{The Admiral turns to survey every corner of the gleaming room before replying.}

Oh. My.

{A long pause.}

I think I may put you in charge of retrofitting the WAN III bridge......

{She steps into the command center.}

It's beautiful, Labby. My compliments. Truly, this is one of the best Bridge layouts, not to mention execution, I've ever seen. Maybe THE best. What's this console over here....?

Oh yes, I came up with adding an additional Console of 50% higher accuracy then the old ones witch would be used by a Top Astrometrical Officer.  I think you will find many knew things here.  And I am extremely glad that you like it :) (http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/smile.gif ):)  (Labatt sits in his Command Chair)  Awe now thats comfy.  Admiral please have a seat in the Command chair.

Labbat...did you not just sit in the chair? And now you ask her to sit in the same chair? Is that an error, or did you intend to say that?

Ok that did not come out right.   And I did NOT intend to say that!  What I was saying was for the Admiral to sit in either chair she wanted too.  Either my Second in Command's chair or my command chair which I would of gotton out of so the Admiral could sit there.

So Admiral.  There you have the ship!  I hope it met your expectations.  All of Alantra's final tests are complete.  Now I just need your Order for USS Alantra to be Operational and to take command of my forces.

Dingo1 stroles on to the bridge of the new ship.  Labbat, she is ready for her space trials.  Engineering staff is located around the ship to provide quick responce teams.  With things so upgraded and new, their might be some adjustments needed to be performed.  Once your space trials are complete, bring her down to the weapons bay and we will load her up with ammunition, and your troops will be able to board her.
Sign this release forms and we will turn over the launch codes to you.  Admiral, thank you for a wonderful dinner, and thank you for bringing me up to date to those missing days I experenced.  Did not know I could do that kind of damage in such a short time.
Labbatt, I was unable to get the clocking devices to work correctly, so had to come up with a different stratigy.  Over here on the main weapons console, there are a series of controls that will modify the exteriour of the ship to look like a circus tent.  This disquise features will help you in your duties.  Utilize them sparingly, as your ship will mimic a bozo battle tent, and you know our ships are under orders to fire first then ask questions later when we encounter Bozo combat ships, so be careful

Dingo I have signed the release forms she is ready to be filled with ammunition and spacetrials.  After that is done I need the Fleet Admirals command, order, and also her signiture to board this ship, make it operational, and make it the Command Ship for all of my forces.

We could kill two birds with one stone and test the Alantra and Phoenix wing side by side. They could practice detecting and targeting each other to test out the sensor array on the Alantra and the Phoenixes cloaking devices. As of today we have 2 of the 5 made. We are waiting for the test pilots to check in and the go ahead from command.

Ok, lets take her out a few lightyears....dummy rounds for ammo.  Fighters will run practice combat manuveers againt you ship.  From what direction and time of those attacks. is the fighter pilots prorogative

Better we correct your error than let it be misinterpreted by PLC.

We......problems...computer failure....must.....reformat.....drive...We....return.....as possible.....

{The Admiral gets up out of General Labatt's lap... hehehe never mind}

{The Admiral finally wanders back to General Labatt and Captain Dingo, a faint smile on her face.}

I think the joint shakedown is an excellent idea, gentlebeings. Where is the paperwork?

{Bends over papers, executes her signature with a flourish.}

There! "Lay on, MacDuff! And cursed be he who first cries, 'Hold! Enough!'"

Dingo takes the paperwork, and salutes the admiral.  I will file these down in the admin office, and give the releases for your departure.  I will monitor the activies from the WAN as usual.  The fighters will be participating, I will be briefing the pilots on the ship, see if we can give your shakedown crew a chance to really show their stuff....(hmmm wonder what size briefs they wear, and I have spares in stock, they might be a bit soiled after their trial runs...nevermind)

Shake down test list:
Manurvability - Lets see you put the stresses on that ship
Fighter defence - simulated attack runs on the ship.  Expect the unexpected
Ship disquise - lets see how well you can mimic the Bozo war tents
Ship to ship offence and defense.....one on one against the WAN III
Multi ship attack and defence...we will be sending out the ISS Bozoblaster along with the WAN III, so be prepared to take on capital ships as well as fighters without excorts...simulating worst case.
Be prepared for simulated system failures and the works.  Have programmed your ship to experence everything from lights out to complete engine malfunction during anytime.  This is to simulate battle damage

(Portal opens, out steps Nemisis2 carrying paper)
Sorry about dissapereing for a day, stupid cyber-mages tried zapping me again.

Admiral, i just need your approval on allowing goldnsoul to have access and we'll be up one more member, if the cyber-mages hadn't mess my portal up i'd  of tried to get Brotherjohann.
Wiil try today though.
Also a bozo by the name of bullet proof from the alternate earth sector has attacked the WAN IV in SDC space, have fired retalitory shots but have some ships on stand by if we need them.
(salutes, leaves the papers near the admiral and walks to Petes place to barrage  his crowd with more lameo jokes)

......bulletproof....attack....damage....repairing....

This is Mons.  New fighter configuration tested positive.  These things handle like a dream!  But, umm...  there's no cup holders and I can't find a good place to put down my Captain & Coke.  What's up with that?

Anyway, all fighters check out and I see no reason why they can't all be scheduled for active duty.

(BTW:  Sorry I've been gone so long.  I was rafting in Maine for the last few days.  Wow, it's darn cold up there!!)
Mons

ISS Alantra....Warning incoming fighters...looks like Bozo mimic fighters...mimiced as Phonix1s

ISS WAN III  Scramble all fighters...Launch ISS Bozoblaster...incoming Bozo War Tent...disquised as ISS Alantra.....

Admiral PLC....sensors detected Bozo interference with communications with the Borg Collective...Sensors detect active virus within the collective...virus detected is   Indiviuality virus...should we send out a clocked intellegence gathering trawler towards the colective???

To:  Admoral PLC
From:  ISS JobHunting

Subj:  Dingo1

Admiral, this is to report that Dingo1's duties on our ship are complete satisfactory, and will be able to concentrate his duties on the WAN III more fully

We are recovering...ships systems nearing normal...communications online...virus is being dealt with.

Has completed all its tests with great results!  Admiral call me old fashioned but I will make Alantra operational when you give me the command Order.  Can't Wait!

Ummm bring the ship back into docking bay 3...there are some minor modifications to be done on it.  I have the structural test data back, and we have some minor glitches to correct.

Seems like the main structural shaft shows minor cracking, so that if it got into a major battle you could have a major rupture in the ships integraty.  Maybe not the first battle, but a little bit later on, so they will need to be strengthed.

As for your weapons tests.  Lets see the data...Hmmm from the launching data, your weapons were fired equally at all attacking vessels, but it seems like the aiming points are a bit off, as 90% of the weapons fired ended up heading to the WAN III.

Short range defense turrets were slow.  They could not properly keep up with the fast moving fighters.  If one of the fighters would have come in closer, it would have been able to do some serious damage with strafing runs.

I will need to await testing results from Mons on the new fighters.  As for being operational, after we make the modifications all ships should be operational, but do not quote me on that

Both long and short range 'ritos operated well within normal capacity.  All targets were covered in a thick residue of red hot and re-fried beans.

Due to the size of these fighters, I do not believe that they will be able to carry anything more powerful than mid-grade 'ritos.  Anything more powerful could over stress major firing systems.

All 3 fighters returned safely to the BozoBlaster with no damage.  

Conclusion:  All fighter groups are ready for action.  Except, there are still NO CUP HOLDERS!!!!!  What's up with that?  We can travel to one side of the universe to the other, we have ships and weapons powerful enough to split moons and I STILL CAN'T GET A DARN CUP HOLDER!!!  UGH! I'm freakin' out!


End report; Mons 10.10.01/8.01

Mons, we have ordered Cup holders...they just have been back ordered.  Double check the structural integraty of the new fighters again.  Test data indicates some of hard points were unable to handle the strain.  Did all of the new pilots we have been looking for remimber to drop the Drop Fuel cells before they started manuvering, or are we going to need to limit the size of the "rito" missles to light

Captain Bulletproof has been spotted using 'ritos on us, although he used it only once, we do believe he'll use it again.
Also for some reason they wanted ODeZy, i couldn't stop ODeZy from surrendering so now i got to find a way to get him before he's bozofied.

(ISS Streak detaches from Orstio Station and heads toward Alternate Earth Space)

We have recovered fully from the attack on our ship by bulletproof, and whatever virus was transmitted to us during said attack. It was not, as you feared, the individuality virus, but a virus that multiplied and disabled our computers.

As this is an obvious attack on our ship, we stand ready to retaliate, and will work with you in any attack you may be planning.

It is finished! All tests and trails are done for USS Alantra!  All 500 Crew board ship!

Hey, Nem, sorry for the delay - my desk is buried under paperwork. Here are those papers you wanted signed, ready to go.

I will be on TDY for the MiB, beginning Saturday and running thru next Thursday.

I therefore expect Captains Yale and Dingo, with the assistance of the Emperor, Doctor, and the other Fleet leaders, to properly care for our dear Fleet.

Meantime, since the war appears to have, in some measure, come to me... let me say that I am...looking forward...to being safely home and back aboard the WAN III a.s.a.p.

I will be available for Fleet direction sporadically until Saturday.

Aye Admiral. ;) (http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/wink.gif );)

Labbattm Repairs and modifcations completed.  The ISS Alantia is yours.  4 fighters are assigned to your ship.  Along with one troop transport

What is the delta fleet and is it allied/neutral to us?

Nemisis,
The delta fleet is an unknown at this time.  Not enough intellegence gathered on that fleet.

We sent a small probe in direction of the Borg collective.  All communications with that probe has ceased.  Our fleet is thin right now.

Current sector assignments are involved.

ISS Bozoblaster...currently on stealth assignment in sector OD.

WAN IV fleet...currently heavily engaged in Sector SDC, with open hostilities from rogue Bozo fleet

WAN III fleet under the direction of Admiral PLC. currently on rebuilding assignment, and directing Active fleet activities.

Borg Collective has been under attack from unknown forces.

Communications with primary Bozo sector, is still sporatic, ever since that sector shifted itself to unknown area's.  Following their supply ships carring Capsiun Oil have been followed, but then they Warp to unknown area's.  As our worst fears have been realized and they have acquired our weapons technology, though in very limited quantities, this is a major concern.

Weapons Bay/Kitchen has been very busy generating new fighter types, and rebuilding the WAN III ever since the Bozo nanobot activity.  Fleet HQ has determined that I am not allowed to activiely pursue intellegence gathering activities on my own at this time.  Weird concerns of the after effects from
my capture and subsiquence brainwashing, and infection from bozo nano-bots.

Personnel shortages are hurting our fleet

We were attacked by bullet proof. His ship rammed ours, at the same time the virus was apparently planted. We have no information about your probe. We never found it. Maybe it was intercepted by Bozos in the area. What was the purpose of the probe? Knowing that could help us locate it.

Dont' worry Admiral, the crew will be in good condition when you return (meaning "not sick", because the general condition of our crew... hmmm... perhaps I should enfoce some excercise.. :lol (http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/laugh.gif ):lol)

Peter

PS: Pushing button to create a few hundred excercise pills... Almost hurting finger from pushing on button... ah... time to rest and relax...

Borg Collective...Is bulletproof regular Bozo agent or rogue Bozo agent.  I suspect rogue agent, not even a regular bozo takes on a Borg collective cube.  They may be nutcases, but they are not that insane...or are they???  The probe was a small high speed one.  Designed to stealthly appoach Bozo war tents, and cargo vessels, and attach themselves to the hull, and send out location information.  The probe was in seeker mode, then just stopped transmitting. You had reported that traces of Bozo cargo ships carring Capsiun Oil in your sector.  This probe was hopefully going to attach itself to the cargo vessel, and we would been able to follow and locate their main weapons supply factory.  Shall we send you some of the probes, and you release them as you see fit??

We could use the phoenix wing to do some recon. They could be sent to take a look at the Delta fleet, cloaked of course. Depending on how well they do that we could then send them out on scouting missions in the bozo zones.

Don't worry about the Captain Bulletproof.  As i am talking to u now Alantra along with 4 squadrants of fighters are heading to the location of Bulletprrofs ship.  We shal deal with him appropriatly.

We did not encounter any such probe. We speculate that one of two things occurred: 1. The Bozos destroyed the probe. 2. The probe did attach to the Bozo ship, but since the ship is cloaked, the transmission cannot reach you.

We have little information about bullet proof, except that he caused us great damage to one of our cubes.

We do not want any probes. Any subsequent launches will likely have the same outcome as the first.

So theres no real importance/threat from delta force?
Whats their motivations?

Our forces aren't really needed in SDC the two mods their have basicly destroyed any ability the bozos had of appearing their, our base their has been put on standard leave alert(very low alert) i doubt any bozo will try attacking as we have moderator allies.
SDC will be known as WAN IV headquarters though.

We need suggestions for new boards to investigate as i'm very bad at surfing the net for areas and if we relie on SDC for recruits then we might as well forget recruitiment, maybe we could recruit delta force.

I was looking through the data logs for information on Delta Force but came up empty.  Is this a new covert operations team?

SDC is still very hostile for some of us.  Case in point...someone asked a question in free space in regards to a scientific experiment for class.  So I graciously wrote back with a good answer.  Then the Bozo Tom Sheenaham blasted me for of all things my spelling, instead of providing an alternative solution to the question.  It was that type of behavour on SDC that caused me to basicly abandon that site for the most part.  It ruined my day today as a result.
I enjoy the role play I put into this site, to bring some humor into these threads.  It has helped me keep my spirits up, while I have into my heavy duties on the ISS Jobhunting for the last 3 months.  When my income starts coming in, in a few weeks, I will be using some of those funds into paying for mainframe computer processing time, to continue on with my theory, and the generation of orbital data, that several members here have been inquiring me for status updates, as well as getting back to answering several of the space science questions that I have not had the time to research.  For those that know me well, I enjoy that activity, as well as good scientific debate and education.

If fleet HQ approves, I will be forming a special forces unit in the kitchen, with direct duties of seeking out those serious bozo's on SDC, and fully utilize all of the weapons of intellegent research, and logic, and overwelm those bozo's.

On a more personal note, it looks like my fiance is expecting puppies.  We will know for sure when we visit the Siriun doctors in a few weeks to verify or deny the home pregnacy test results

*Writing the order for the 100 bottles of champagne, and the 50 cases of thick Cuban cigars*

Since it hasn't been confirmed, I can't congratulate you yet :( (http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/frown.gif ):(

Peter

*hiding in the shadows following dingo arounf the ship... just to be sure to be the first to congratulate him* :) (http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/smile.gif ):)

for not responding. We appreciate it greatly. We do not visit SDC very often anymore, and are about to take a similar approach to this site.

I have lost the storyline of the roleplaying on large scale... sorry... My world is confined to onboard wanIII...

Peter

My apologies Borg Collective.  I will respond more often, for we do not wish to lose your refreshing insite.   Per your recomindation we will not launch another probe at this time, and hope that the later case of the one probe we sent out, did infact attach itself to the Bozo war tent.

As for Bozo Bulletproof, what recomended actions would you like for us to engage in, to assist the collective with it's battle with that rogue bozo???

It seems logic has failed against him.

I think we have all been hammered by some one in SDC at 1 point for me it was quite recent.  Admiral we have reached Bulletproofs position " this is General Labatt all 4 Squadrants form a offensive position around Bulletproofs ship'  Nemisis do u have patience today or what?  Cause I can bet with out the shadow of a dougt Bulletproof aint going no where with our force.

Coordinate all actions with Nemisis, Dingo, and the Borg Collective, then proceed according to your best estimates.

I will be on a special MiB mission for Zed until late next week.

You four have charge of SDC sector operations.

We thought that there were plans for an attack being formulated already when bulletproof attacked. Whatever happened to them?

Good luck on your mission.  Collective these are the attacks.  Nemisis, Dingo, Collective, and I have control of all sector operations in SDC.  I suggest we make our first priority to disable bulletproof.

I concur with your suggestion Labatt.  Bulletproof appears to be the most imediate threat.

As the Collective is the injured party in the attack, I suggest that the Collective have overall command control, for the upcoming battle, and we all follow his orders.

I am aware that this changes the upcoming major battle plans that were being developed, but recent intellegence efforts has shown that the bozo's have found a new and most visious advisary in bulletproof.  I feel that we need to neutralize this advisary immediately before the bozo's can concentrate their forces.  I will gladly follow the Collective's orders in this upcoming battle.

Borg collective, what are your orders!!!!



----------------------------------------------------------
The best layed plans for an attack, will always go astray at the first contact with the enemy.  The battle commander who can adjust his plans as the battle unfolds will insure victory.  A battle commander who is ridged in following the original plans is doomed to failure  -  The Art of War

We are not the only damaged party in his attacks, our vessel was rammed into Nemisis's. We suggest a battle plan similar to the previous one: we position our ships, larger and generally stronger than yours, in the front lines to provide cover for your ships until the battle begins. After that, any stragety you would prefer to use is your choice. Inform us of what that would be.

Also, the collective as a whole is not the best to make plans with. Perhaps this is as good a time as any to return our ambassador, Aaron of Borg, to you. Is your fleet/space secure enough now to allow us to transfer him to your areas?

Ambassator Aaron of Borg will be well protected here in the fleet.  Our antibozo teams were highly sucessful in eradicating the threats generated by the Bozo nano-bots.  We have all of the anti-bozo probes the collective sent us in place and in active seek and destroy mode.  Thanks again for sending the probes.

With you sugession of battle of order, my suggested order of battle is this, pending your and the other commanders approvals:

Borg collective....  Strongpoints and heavy weapons platforms...similar to "Battleships of old"  Battle support, and concentrated fire.

WAN IV fleet:  Left and upper flanks.  Envelope action
WAN III fleet:  Right and lower flanks.  Envelope action
Both forces are the hammer.

ISS Alantea fleet.  Center.  Force is the anvail.

ISS Bozoblaster.  Rear of Bozo fleet.  To prevent the Bozo's from retreating.  Cut off their supply lines, and help drive the Bozo's into the awaiting guns.

Rules of engagement: Any surrendering Bozo's must transfer themselves into single unarmed Bozo ship.  They are not allowed to board any of our ships.

There is to be no quarter given. Nor asked.

And old phrase comes to mind from my reading into the anticent battles on the planet Earth.  After a major battle that took place, They had to clean up the battle field.  The following orders were given.
Place all of their bodies in one pile, their heads in another.  Once that is done, any survivors that asks for assistance, shall recieve it.


---------------------------------------------------------
Once a battle has started, Do not relent the pressure.  Doing so gives the enemy time to regroup and recover from the initial shock - The Art of War

WAN II  Active reserves

Very well. We will provide cover, as well as firing the first shots, as your fleets stay behind ours until we arrive at the site. You will then deploy in the above stated methods. Which ship will Aaron of Borg be on? We will be sure to protect it more throughly. It is advisable for him to not be on one of our ships, so that he can interact with your crew during the battle, giving you communications from the collective, instead of us using normal communications, which could be intercepted.

We will now be transporting Aaron directly to your bridge. Prepare to recieve him...

As the WAN II is the flag ship of the reserves, I feel it is best the Aaron of Borg, transport himself to that alustrious ship.  She might be an older ship, but her history of surviving intact from the worst that the Bozo forces have directed at her.  I also feel that we would be honored if he would take direct command of our reserve forces, as he will be in a position to spot where Borg forces would best be to concentrate forces.  The first shot is yours to give!!!  All weapons locked and loaded on all ships

Sorry about being out of it for the past day, had to cut down some cyber-mages.

I would also like to suggest that the WAN IV's berserker asteroid ships be assigned to boarding action to asertain what they know of our techa, maybe a few fighters from each fleet should be assigned to guard the asteroid ships(Read berserker wars by Fred Saberhagen to know what the berserkers are).
When do we strike?

This is Labatt, but with a different name.  You can talk about that in a different subject.  

I suggest that we aproach bulletproof with the Collective's ships first.  We should have all of W.A.N. Fleet ships standing nearby but far enough that he cannot detect us.  So if he decides to be volitile we shal intervene and overwealm the Bozo's forces.

Negative on the boarding parties, we just got over a major invasion of Bozo nano-bots, so we do not know what other little nasty surprises they have on their ships.

Labatt, on the holding our forces back, I would suggest that we launch an all out offensive.  We do want them to see us coming.  We want our allies the Collective, to see that an attack on one of us, is an attack on all of us.  We also want the Bozo's to see that we stand behind our allies, and our allies stand behind us.  They seem to not have any fear of either us, or our allies, and problibly figure that they can attack any of us without fear of a combined retalitory atack, or a haphazard responce.

Being that Sector SDC is the primary battlefield, we do not want the Bozo's there to have the upper hand any longer.  

--------------------------------------------------------
Attack an opponant from as many sides as possible.

Understood Dingo.  Now are we ready.  Cause I know i am.  Everyone in control of SDC be on full alert!  We shal be entering battle very soon.

*As the Borg transporter (http://aaronofborg.homestead.com/files/transporter.wav) effect appears, the crew in the area all turn toward it, anticapating their friend's arrivial. As he materalizes, they can tell a difference has been made in him. His usual, almost friendly, expression has been replaced with the neutral face familair to most drones. The transporter effect fades, and he greets the crew*

"We are the Borg. We send this drone to assist you. When is the battle going to take place?"

*It is obvious that this is not the Borg the crew is used to. He doesn't even use 'I' anymore. He has been changed, perhaps not for the better.....*

*whispers: Oops... Errr... sombody do something... @#%$, they brainwashed Aaron*

"Euh,... Borg, you have not complied with your promise. You promised that you would return our embassador. However, his body may be the same, but his spiri... errr... programming has changed! This is horri.. err... not efficient. Aaron had adapted to our way of speech and thinking. I am certain that you have stored his .. @#%$ how do they call it again... his characteristics as it was valuable for the experience of the collective. Might I ask that you undo the changes and get Aaron back in the way he was?"

*grasping air*

*crossing fingers behind my back*

Peter

Battle orders:

Borg Battle Cubes commence active bombardment at 08:00 Monday.  Primary target - Bulletproof -  Sector SDB...subsector Free Space.

As soon as bombardment starts...ISS Bozoblaster Warps behind enemy force.  Launch all fighters and Bombers commencing 08:30

ISS Alantea force commence offensive assault of the Bozo's primary front.  09:00

WAN III fleet, and WAN IV fleet commence offensive assaults on Bozo's flanks

WAN II force, be on standby to support Borg fleet, frontal assaults, and envelope assaults as nessisary.  ISS Bozoblaster will commence mine laying activities as soon as her fighters depart on their missions.

All fleet command ships, open portals to your front for reinforcements as they arrive.

All crew members stand by, be prepared for excessive Bozo activities, they will hit us with illogic, flame attacks, V V and V.  Hoaxs and all ofther matters of their Bozoness.

Medical staff. be prepared for casualties.

Aaron of Borg, welcome back your excellency.  Peter can you show the ambassator to the lounge for a proper states dinner and party??

What should the strike fighters do? With there long range they could be an effective first strike or skirmisher option.

We have not brainwashed anyone. This drone was reassimilated, and has been restored to proper working order.

We do not require being called excelency, or a party. We do not attend parties.

"ah yes... errr... but Aaron was better equipped before you reassimilated him. Communication was a lot easier, and.. well, efficiency is the priority correct? Besides, his personal experience in our collective made him the perfect bridge between our different ways of thinking!"

*Forcing a smile on my face*

*whispering to myself.. "Not to mention that he was a friend, you heartless borg collective"*

Peter

He is better equiped now. He has not lost his experience, but we have properly...*thinking of a human term*...reinstalled his internal protocols. Communication cannot get easier, placing a drone on your vessel is more efficient than constant long-range communications. The current situation is acceptable.

On another matter, is the 8:00 Monday time for the attack A.M. or P.M.? Whose time zone are we speaking of? We are located in the Central, or -6, time zone.

"Err... I have no idea Aaron... My gut tells me that you should ask the other dudes... What do you feel about the battle plans? I know you have strong emotions about it, but that is super... a real tactical advantage!"

*Suppressing a grin... thinking "Normal communication my behind! haha... This ain't over yet..."*

Peter

The question was directed towards anyone with an answer, not just you.

We find the battle plans acceptable. As we have little tactical experience with Bozo's, any plans you make would likely be better than ours. How are emotions a 'real tactical advantage'? Your speech seems to be somewhat disrupted with emotion. Hardly efficient.

It is time.  Ready Borg?  For the first wave?  Alantra Force stand by we will be entering the 3rd wave in about 2 and half hours.  Attack the primary offensive front of the bozo's.  Lets do this!

No. We asked what time it was, as we are all in different time zones, and never got a response.

Launch attack...commence firing

Very well. Our ships are headed out of transwarp now. Prepare to engage after us.

We have begun firing. Awaiting your arrival.

Prepared to engage.  Launching skip "Rito" missles to overload their sensors.  Launching Warp neutralizing pods, so the Bozo's can not shift to different diamentions and escape.  All fighter squadrons follow the Borg cubes in.  When the Collective reaches their bombardmant points, use swarm attacks and come at the enemy from all sides.  Do not let the Bozo's get a bearing, or be able to concentrate their firepower.
ISS Bozoblaster...launch all fighters, cut off their supply lines.. Deploy all mines.
WAN III and WAN IV fleets, commence your runs on their flanks.
ISS Alentra, commence invasion forces.  All weapons are hot.  Target forward screening Bozo War tents.
Order of the day.  Divide and conquor Borg fleet

All WAN IV ships have dropped out of trans-dimensional space and have commenced firing anti-ship missils.
Berserker asteroid ships are preparing to dissect any surviving ships.

Dissection of the survivors is not necessary. The cubes will...handle them and their ships. We will provide cover for your vessels from rito bombardment.

Dingo I have not been able to log on to SDC for the past week!  There for the Alantra Invasion Force cannot attack.  I believe it has something to do with my internet.  What shal I do.  @#%$ it I hate not being in the battle, that is where i belong!!!!!!!!

Im sorry for my last out burst but I cant take it.  I can't just sit around on my ass and do nothing!

Labatt, e-mail me with the problem you are having.  And I will see what I can come up with as a solution.  As for fleet actions, backup commanders were able to sucessfully handle this last skirmish, resorted to using "special" weapons.  For the next skirmish, we will hopefully be able to use primary commanders for your fleet.

Magnificent job and honors to all fleet commanders

If you cannot access your fleet then you can be put in command of reserve forces untill you can access a portal to SDC. ;) (http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/wink.gif );) :( (http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/frown.gif ):( :( (http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/frown.gif ):(

Dingo, i don't think it will be hard to get Venus on our side, all they want is Cliffdweller. :D (http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/happy.gif ):D
Am allowing boarding now.

We are in the process of analyzing debris collected from the battle site. The two cubes seen below have been given all the ship debris, the biological remains have been given to a third ship.

(http://AaronofBorg.homestead.com/files/Twoborgcubes.jpg)

Have sent scouts to find Bulletproof but he seems to have dissapered completely.

Hmmm....maybe we got very lucky and have nailed that Bozo's hide with his fleet.

Aaron of Borg, the Collective is very much welcome to those leftovers, I will see if the device I used, can be modified somewhat to leave more usable material, it was a bit of an overkill

Combined between the two ships, one of which AOB originated from:

3 tons of hull fragments (will be melted down and recycled)

53 engine components, under further study

2 capsium storage tanks, full, one on each cube

2 unused ritos, in stasis

various navigational equipment, most unrepairable

4 tons of other, random debris, including but not limited to: chairs, beds, rubber noses, slightly charred red hair wigs, and medical equipment

The biological ship reports to have remains of approximately 79 Bozos.

Aaron of Borg,

Will the Collective due us a favor and do a chemical analisys of the Capsium oil, and will the Collective be willing to transfer the Bozo Rito's to remote location, so we can together in safety disarm them...we are very curious to find out what they concocted

Yes.

*The Borg cubes simotainously open the capsium containers, and take the ritos out of stasis...*

(http://aaronofborg.homestead.com/files/Borg_explode.jpg)

*AOB suddenly collaspes on the floor in convulsions....*

[Connection lost...reestablish.....failed....retry....failed....host ship destroyed....activate secondary protocols...]

Dingo I have reached the battle ground!  Thank god!

The Alantra Invasion is way more than ready.  What shal my force do since i can't do what was obviously planned?

We will attack and invade the bozo's command center.

MAYDAY...MAYDAY  ALL FLEET IMMEDIATELY PROCEED TO BORG COLLECTIVE.......Render all aid and assistance...Doctor Peter report to Aaron of Borg immediately, provide  emergancy treatments.....

ALL FLEETS...use extream care....Apparent Bozo booby trap explosion...."Rito" ignition detected within Borg Cubes, next to vats of pure Capsium Oil.

Darn...I was afraid of possible booby traps, was very worried about that possibilty.

Labatt, execute emergancy protocal Alpha.  Your ship has the prototype improbibility drive, it is capible of going back into time a period of 24 hours...Activate it, and notify the Borg Collective that the debree is booby trapped, and the "Rito's" captured have a stasis field detection trigger.  You will only have time be able to send a message, before your ship returns to current time

*Struggling to regain control of functions*

You...knew about this? Why did you not warn us? We...we...

We do not require assistance. Repeat, stay away! Stabilize Aaron, and return him to us. He has again been severed from the collective.

*Two cubes pop out of transwarp, and begin to salvage the two destroyed cubes*

We are recieving some anamolus readings from the cube containing the biological remains. We will keep you informed.

Aaron of Borg,
We only suspected that possibility at the last second.  We barily remimbered our last major encounter with the Bozo's, and their insidiusness use of booby-traps.  Please understand, they had even booby trapped my poor being, as well as your own unit, with delayed vileness.
Please relay to the Borg Collective our apologies for failing to provide ample warning in time.  Please also forward our concerns for your units on the 3rd cube, and the fleets are prepared to render what assistance the Borg Collective deems necessary for it units, be it in the way of intellegence sharing, decontamination expertice, or other assistance the Collective desires.

Fleet Orders:  General order number 1:
Until further notice, all Bozo personnel, ships, debree from battle, is concidered highly contaminated, and booby trapped.  The following rules apply for the WAN fleet.

1:  Bounce the debree, prefer vaporization if possible
2.  Use concentrated firepower on Bozo War Tents from a distance if possible.
3.  Individual Bozo's encountered are to be treated as suspect.  Treat accordingly.

(Jump gate opens, out flys the WAN IV)
Captain, if you don't mind i think my berserkers can "get" information out of the bozos but that would mean transferring them to the dimensional cage where i keep the berserkers.

Any planned ship movements?

Nemisis,
Negative on transfering Bozo's to your berserker's are kept.  Your berserkers could become "infected" with bozonoids, or other insideous bozoness without your knowledge.  We would be very hard pressed if the berserkers were to become infected and released.  Best thing I would suggest is fry the bozo's completely and then if they wish to surender, we will do so at that stage.  As the Borg Collective completes it's analisys of the bozo's it has captured and is currently examining, we will have a better handle on how to deal with them.
Please understand that the bozo's are in general not the smartest race of beings, some of them are highly intellegent, even if that intellegence is completely warped.  We can not underestimate their insidiness anymore.  Look at all of the sectors they have invaded in the past, and the amount of sever damage they have caused.
Ship movements:  continue normal patrol area's.  Report any outbreaks of Bozoness to fleet immediately, so we can launch a counter offensive.  Continue intellegence activities in locating their true HQ.  Sector Art Bell, was only a staging area for some of their activities.  Intellegence operatives who ventured into that sector, were able to send us some solid intellegence to HQ, before their minds were destroyed by the sheer bozoness of that sector.  May they rest in peace, and did not suffer badly

The venusions are waiting for talks between fleets, what are your orders?

Bring them on in to HQ (here) use e-mail for notification of our site

Am sending it now.

I hope they are interested in joining ES

We do not wish assistance. Please direct comments to us, not AOB, as he is disconnected from us. What is his status? We require him back asap, so that we may reassimilate him again.

The strike fighters have all done extremely well in combat and I have worked all the bugs out of them. We have 5 of them right now should more be built? So far we have Mons Spacegirlie and I have been flying them. No permanent pilots and no commander has been designated. The wing could be sent to delta fleet space on a cloaked recon mission or go into bozo space and hunt down freighters.

We have an update on the third cube, the one with the biological remains. The connections to the ship are becoming erratic. We are attempting to discern what is going on. Do you have any experience with bio-booby traps?

We have lost contact with our third cube. We managed to get these images just before contact was severed:

(http://AaronofBorg.homestead.com/files/many_alcoves_bozo.jpg)

(http://AaronofBorg.homestead.com/files/hallway_bozo.jpg)

It appears that the Bozos had planned on us gathering remains. Better that we did, instead of a WAN vessel. We can spare the ships easier than you can.

Man thats freaky... never knew a robot could do that.
(Pulls out blaster and keeps it in a firm grip)

Laugi, I don't know where venus is, she should have been here by now.

Borg Collective..Prepare to recieve Aaron of Borg, along with a special data pack to be smuggled, by what ever means you have to your disposal, on to the effect Borg Cube.  It is the antidote for dispensing with the Bozo nano-bots that have apparently affected that cube.  The special Code is  "Institute Bozo Nano-bot self destruct sequence Alpha 1..... Execute Code "Art Bell is King" Execute Execute Execute"  This is the counter command for the nano-bots.  You will have to reassimulate the crew of that Cube.

We are standing by for transport. Hopefully reassimilating AOB for a second time will not damage him...it has never been done before.

We've lost contact with the WAN IV, i suspect a berserker may have escaped from the dimensional cage and is trying to free the others, will report any new events.
Obvious signs is the "m is a mandatory field" message.

Transfering AOB,,,ititate traser...energize...AOB away.  Suggestion to the Borg, perform only a partial reassimulation of AOB, and maintain part of it's individuality.  I would think that it would help facilitate communications between our various fleets.  As the last battle has shown us, it's presences greatly enhanced our combined actions, and it will be directly attached to Admiral PLC's staff.
My position with the fleets is normally just technical support, and normally I am not within the direct chain of command. even though I handle multi-fleet tactics well.  Circumstances warranted such tactics as to utilize "Special" weapondry.  It is not every time we will be able to cause the Bozo's with their circus pants down, to the point we can destroy one of their battle fleets.  Those idiots do not know how to cooperate with one another.

Nemisis, sensors show the WAN IV proceeding on normal course and speed.  Possibility of battle damage has caused communication gear to break of fail.  Their tech staff possible will have them back up.  If not we will kee an eye on their progress, and will notify if any diviation of unexplained reasons.  Do you have a means to do a roll call of the berserkers??

Not really, there are litterally thousands of blade armed berserkers to a asteroid ship all i can do is count how many asteroid ships are there but one berserker alone could wreck havoc on a unsuspecting ship, especially if it got ahold of the dimensional anchor location for the berserkers.

Static communication has been recieved  from the lasershot saying a bozo flux field has hit it and that several spammers have surfaced, but thats all so berserker may not be the problem.

Spammers!!!!  All fleets, standby for possible battle stations....
Bozoflux meters detecting incoming Bozo activity.  ISS Lasershot is experencing communication problems...possible Bozo counter attack forces approching!!!

Borg Collective, is the package sent with AOB of any help???

Nemisis, and word from the Venusian fleet??

Labatt, any word from the private communicade was it of any help.

Hope our Admiral will be back soon.

Nerd57, Laugi, Termina.... communications from your trading fleet indicate that their possibly is a problem of jealosy within your organization.  Is there something that we can do, to settle things down between the three of you???

I, however, am currently the epitome of terrific. The wind is ruffling my scales, the... wait a minute... wind... On a space ship? TERMINA! WHAT THE LILEH! Hold on. @#%$ sentient Ship!*

As AOB's time seperated from the collective was minimal this time, we will not have to extensively reassimilate him. Reconnecting him to the collective is all we need to do, he will return to you in the same condition as the last time we returned him.

Thank you for returning him so efficiently. It would be...unfortunate...if he had been severed from the hive mind for a long period of time again. We are not sure what an effect that would have on him.

We have had no opportunity to use the antidote you supplied. The Bozo-assimilated cube has severed all links to the collective and gone rogue. We are attempting to trace its location. A rogue Borg cube, with Bozo-Borg in command, is not a good thing for either of our groups. All efforts should be made to find it. Any assistance you can provide will be appreciated.

Will do Borg Collective.  Will notify our intellegence service to report any and all encounters with Bozo-Borg.  What are your Rules of Engagement with them??  Attempt to send Bozobot neutralization code???  Attempt placing a tracer unit on the cube?  Utilizing our only weapon capible of destroying a cube?  Or just notifying the collective??

Suggest the Collective assimulate the anti-bozobot release codes into the rest of the collective as a preventive measurement from more units from going rogue
