Chapter 7 ---- Negotiations with the Venusions

[dingo15068]

I understand Borg Collective.  Only fleet operations that can be directed to the colletive are those actions which the Borg have agreed to joint venture with the WAN fleet.  If the suspect "Bozo War Tent" turns out to be your rogue cube, we will inform you so that the Collective may take what actions it has in mind.  
We do not know the nature of the intersepted communicades, be it one of our members having been corrupted, a new and unknown Bozo force, or something else.  All we know is that from our exploration ship ISS Slader information about the disappearence of stars has been reported, along with vague communications

[Nemisis two]

I would but they hit the Lasershot also, engines are down but are being repaired as fast as possible.
The ISS Streak is still operative.
Am setting out toward the Slander.
(ISS Streaks engines fire and a worm hole opens, the streak enters and dissaperes)

[The Borg Collective]

We recommend scanning the unknown ship at the greatest distance possible, if it is our cube, turn back and inform us.

[dingo15068]

wilco Borg Collective......Nemisis, upon arrive send out long range scanning probes.  Remain clocked.......Be informed the area you are arriving in is hostile.  Our missing tracer probe on a possible Bozo merchant has been detected in the general vicinity of the broadcasts.  How soon will the ISS Lasershot be able to regain engines??  Will we need to dispatch a tow??

[The Borg Collective]

The ship would fit into our assimilation bay. We could do the 'tow' if required.

[dingo15068]

Thank you for the offer, would not advise it at this point.  Still do not know what happened to cause the engines to be severly damaged at this point.  Those are some of the most highly protected area's of the ship.  I am glad that the crew was able to shut them down before they went into core meltdown

"Mmmm..." booms the intercom system. "How do Hayu mahn's react to cyanide? How about some carbon? Hmmm, this life support mechanism has so many functions..."

A lonely red-shirted crew memeber, walking the decks alone, dreams about life back on his home planet. He missed his family, his wife, his children. He wondered what they were-
A huge blast of fire flames from the air vent directly beneath him. Englufed in the volatile chemical reaction, he runs around the deck, screaming, screaming as loud as he can.
His shirt protecting his chest, his face burns with the intensity of a bond fire. He runs about for several minutes, before collapsing, his face an ashen remenant of his fear.

The survallence camera watching all this places the file for the fire in Dingo's Personal Movies folder.

[dingo15068]

Initiate file trace...........file trace completed.......Space sector 57,57,57,57,57,57......Initiate countermeasures....Countermeasures activated.....1000 gigawatt signal strikes returns down the communications signals recieved, overloading Hayu Mahn's transmitter, and overloading Hayu Mahn.  Force reintergration of Nerd57.  Overloading bozo viruses.  Several dark clouds in the vacinity near Hayu Mahn instantly collapes and form 1000's of new stars illuminating the entity with cleaning light and enlightenment.

It is not nice to send movies of fried crew to the Ambassator of Sirius, and head of power generation from it's star

[The Borg Collective]

What exactly is going on with nerd/laugi/whoever? We are not skilled at interpreting these events. Could we be of any assistance? Does this situation breach security to the point that we cannot return Aaron? He is ready to be sent back.

Dude... pergatory sucks... Its Nerd57 and Laugi. Oh and Termina's here too. I think... well, something that claims to be Termina is here. I'm not sure where we are, but I'm uploading defense protocols to your systems. Should destroy the virus that the being, who we affectionatly refer to as Stan (like Satan, get it?), will most likely upload to your systems.
I think we're in a different Universe, one where we can't comprehend the dimensions of emit... if anything appears backwards sti probably because of the time xulf. Termina says she knows what the hecks going on. We'll keep you...*

"@#%$ pitiful creatures... You hayu mahn's just won't DIE! You better not be another immortal race. Their are just too many of those. I might have to manifest my own being into this Universe instead of using this pitiful "vaccuum energy." Energy, phmp, I've seen more energy in a Crakcklieks disnngiwk! HA!"

[Original Labatt]

Great Alantra is perfectly fine I am launching as we speak.  Casualties for Alantra Invasion force were 11 officers.  5 fighters were also destroyed.  I do not know as for Nemisis's fleet.  We shal have a memorial for all who vanished.

[The Borg Collective]

Two fully-crewed cubes, possibly three.

{The Admiral strides back onto the Bridge with an old friend, a tall athletic man of around 50, clad in a black suit with white shirt, wearing Ray-Bans. They are chatting amiably.}

PLC: So J got you back just in time.

K: Something like that.

PLC: {Chuckles} Well, give the boy some credit. At least he knew where to get the expertise.

K: {Shrugging, then cracks a brief grin} If you say so.

PLC: K, welcome to my ship. {Glances around} What in the name of Aves is going on? Dingo? Yale? Update, please!

K: Anything I can do to help? {Opens MiB cellphone} Zed, this is K. We've got a situation here. Looks like I might be staying awhile. {Closes phone} Okay, that's taken care of. Fill us in.

PLC: Dingy?

[dingo15068]

Admiral,
While you were away, we ran into a major battle with a rogue Bozo fleet in Sector SdC, commanded by a Bozo called Bulletproof.  This resulted in a scrambling of the enite fleet, with watch officer's in charge.
A combined multifleet battle then took place.  We were able to catch the bozo fleet in an ambush before they had time to react.  With the Borg collective being the primary anvel, with the WAN fleets being the hammer, forcing the bozo fleet to withdrawl into a sphereical defensive posture.  We were able to sucessfully deploy one of my "special" super rito's (the one I used on my self-destruct features of my old oersonal jig) destoying the bozo fleet for the most part in it's entirety.  Our losses were relatively light to that point, it is during the mop up afterwords that we have experenced major casualties.
The mop up the Borg Collective recovered debree from the battlefield.  2 completely undetonated bozo "rito's", along with 2 storage containers of Bozo capsium oil.  The also with a third cube captured bozo forces.  All were apparently booby trapped, resulting in the distruction of 2 Borg cubes, and the apparent defection of a 3rd cube to the Bozo forces.
The explosion of the special rito, now has apparently opened a diamentional gateway between normal space and Sector H E double L. resulting with the personality of a charactor calling itself "Stan" taking over the body of Nerd57.  We are attempting to "exorsize" this being from Merd57, as it is using the knowledge that Nerd57 has with fleet secutity protocals, and fleet communications.  This has resulted in this enity in causing the engines of the ISS Lasershot to initiate self destruct protocals, which we were able to stop in time, but with sever damage to the engines.  This enity has also utilized the communication equipment to fry a crewmember to ashes, and the vidio was directed specificly to me.  I have implimented all anti-bozo protocals on all ships in the WAN.  And have dispatched fleet elements to locate the gateway, and also to possibly locate the rogue Borg cube.  I have also been in contact with the president of the Siriun Power company, and uzilized it's services to block the gateway from other entities invading.  
During the course of these events we have been in contact with a race calling itself the Venusians, lead by an adapt comander by the name of VenusDayStar in sector SdC, and have WAN diplomatic representitives enter into negotiations for that force to join us as a member race or as cooperative partnership similar to the Borg Collective partnership.
I know this exceeds my authority, but I was the duty commander at the time.  I return the fleet back to you Admiral.

[The Borg Collective]

We had somehow missed the sector H E double L opening, that is why we did not understand what was going on.

Have your scouts reached the unidentified ship yet? Any information about it?
