Chapter 7 ---- Negotiations with the Venusions

[Geneticly Engineered]

It has been over a week, I do not like using code names and staying in cloaked mode, it makes me feel like a coward, but I know I have to.  Admiral I am standing by, reach me on a secure channel at any time you wish.  No change except for the attack positioned squadrants have begun to grow massivly.

GL out.

(Communication from Borg cube in remote space)
Have been monitoring situation with AOB, some questions need to be addressed:

1.  Has AOB been consuming normal rations from WAN III??
If so, contact Borg Collective with answer for forwarding on to me, I might have a solution, that will be somewhat risky for myself.
2.  Just before AOB went into override and awareness inhancement override, did the Insomnia detect any external communication annomalties??
3.  Has Cerberus departed or is he still aboard the WAN III??

[The Borg Collective]

Aaron does not comsume food, he would require energy. Internal replicators synthesize whatever his biological parts require.

[dingo15068]

Darn, I was hope he did, for I could possibly trace him from the very rare elements associated with our rations.  I started adding them in order that in case of one of our crew being captured by the BIC, we could trace them back to their HQ and arrange a rescue

[LonMc]

(Insomnia replying to Dingo's question via long range hail from SDC:)

No. We detected no scan or communications at anytime before, during, or after Aaronofborg's time on Insomnia.

Our transporter logs were programmed to self-destruct, right after AOB left the ship. So we are unable to track his destination. He's very intelligent. This capability of independent, self-preservation thought, is a direct result of the self-awareness boost that he was able to absorb during our revival processes.

Simply put, Aaronofborg is now more human than Borg. We are concerned that he will not know how to deal with his new found "freedom", and the range of emotions that he will now experience.

One final point: Since this is the first Borg that has undergone the revival procedure, we do not know if it's effects are permanent or temporary. Obvioulsy, time will tell.

Sorry we could not be of more help here.

Now returning to mission.........Insomina, out.

Borg Collective,
Would partial intergration into the collective by myself, help with interfacing with the WAN system until which time we are able to locate AOB, and if so is the process reversable??  Concidering that until current resolution of crisis reguarding my status on my home world is resolved, I am concidered a fugative by the government there, and in accordance with current treaties with the WAN and the Siriun Power Company, they are under obligation to turn me over, including the MIB.  As the collective is "Not" a signer of those treaties, I am requesting "politcal aslym"

[The Borg Collective]

What exactly are you proposing? Interfacing with the WAN, through the collective, to do what? How would you trace Aaron from that? Reversial would be simply disconnecting you from the collective, as has happened to Aaron three times.

[dingo15068]

Proposing that the Borg collective use my poor self as your interface between the Borg, and the WAN, in light of the absence of AOB.  As the WAN monitors other sectors from the Borg, it would provide the Borg with direct links to the WAN intellegence and sensor arrays, as well as complete access to my weapons recipies, so that the Borg is able to intergrate countermeasures.  If AOB has gone rogue on us, he had access to both WAN technologies, as well as Borg technologies, so both of our forces security measures now have been breached.  Our only hope in tracing him quickly, is if he has gone completely human, then on a very remote possibility, he has consumed WAN rations, even though his system does not need it.  If that very remote possibility has occured, I will need access to the WAN's sensors, and my recipies, to possibly trace him, and the only way I can set foot on WAN property, without fear of arrest, is to have Borg credentuals, with only comes with assimulation

[The Borg Collective]

You would become our ambassador, in Aaron's place? Interesting proposal. We have never assimilated a non-humanoid lifeform before, we will investigate the possibility.

Any luck finding analomous energy readings that could be Aaron recharging?

[dingo15068]

I have been accessing the WAN computer sensor banks as best I can, their is very slight abnormal readings, that come and go, but pinpointing a location has been very difficult from this distance, as the location keeps jumping area to area, like someone searching..The abnormality readings are indeterminate in origan, we could be recording a ghost, could be AOB, or could be highly cloaked ships...we do not know.
As for assimulation, and becoming your ambassator, be interesting in attempting the processes, it will be very dangerous, as our bodies normally reject non-organic enhancements, with very rare exceptions like my brother Cerberus.  I somehow survived having nano-bots infesting my body, so my body might not reject the implants.

Just wanted to let y'all know that I'm around. Spent the weekend in a last-of-the-season attempt to get my polo handicap upped for next year (freezing my poor little tailfeathers off in the process), and nearly took a bad tumble on the field. Fortunately my dear little steed saved me, but I am pretty banged up. Will try to log on in the next couple of days and participate more fully.

Meanwhile, I leave you in good hands in Captain Yale and Emperor Orstio.

Peter, please meet me in sickbay. And bring an electric lemonade with you.....

[The Borg Collective]

What level of assimilation are you talking about? We could just assimilate you enough to connect you to the hive mind, not adding all the implants and subroutines.

[dingo15068]

Level of assimulation.  Good question, just connecting my mind to the hive will not be enough, we would need to be able to interface the WAN systems with the Collectives (hardware interface) so the Collective will be able to access raw data, unfiltered through my mind.  The Collective normally does not store perishable rations aboard the cubes, but I do know that the collective has been able to supply those needs, Thank the collective for making those arrangements aboard this cube.  I will possibly be interfacing with members of the Borg, who have been "tainted and broken contact with the primary hive" by outside means.  These sub-hives might still recall their previous connections with the primary, and still be working with WAN forces, so I will need as your representative be able to interface the contact between these forces and primary hive, to return them to the collective.  Finally, if we do locate AOB, we will need to be able to overcome his "resistance" to reintergration into the Collective.  He has full Borg agmentation.  If it came down to a physical confrontation, I would be sorely put to overcome his personal defenses, and transport capibilites, without having aguementation (shuddering), and could possibly have to resort to utilizing special high powered weapondry, at the cost of massive damage of the vessal or planet a hostile encounter would provoke.  Please remimber, that I have created weapons of unusually high destructive capibilities, that even the Borg have been hard pressed to survive intact.  The Collective will have full access to that information.  (When you are a race who's primary function in life is the generation of power to other solar systems, you work with very dangerous processes of Solar fusion)

[The Borg Collective]

It sounds as if you are requesting full assimilation. That would remove your personality, which would not let you remember your purpose of being assimilated.

[yales]

-NO- hostile use of force is permissible in OrstioSpace under any circumstances.

If AOB has decided to seek asylum, his protection is absolute and inviolable.

WAN III is protected by the full and unlimited power of the Emperor (who controls the very nature of local reality)

Any disagreements MUST be taken beyond the frontier into BozoSpace.
