Chapter 7 ---- Negotiations with the Venusions

[The Borg Collective]

How are you feeling? We will constantly monitor your vital signs to ensure that nothing goes wrong.

[dingo15068]

Collective, we feel strange and alive...we share much information..this unit has accepted the assimulation...our insite in to the unsual power of the "Rito" devices, will greatly enhance our power generation...our hive is much stronger, and will be able to withstand all attempts to be fracture by the Bozo's.  Our access to the WAN collective's information is being disemulated now to the rest of the hive.  Our missing members, our mislayed units have been located in the heart of Bozo lands.  We have insite into the command structure of the BIC, the extent in which they have infultrated and spread disinformation to many unknown worlds...We have much to assimulate

[Original Labatt]

(After Alantra gets out of cloak mode, General Labatt deploys all fighters and engadges the Fleet)  Lieutenant how man ships are still out there?  ( After that Alantra makes a move and go's under and over bozo command ships and fires its priliminary weapons. " Ha ha sweet."   Three ships are destroyed.  " Fighters use all force and destroy everything in your path"

[The Borg Collective]

Your brain activity is rising above tolerances. You are recieving too much information at once. We are decreasing the neural links by 25%.


Any luck with finding Aaron?

[dingo15068]

We find the information good...need more information...Why would one want to leave the collective..let's investigate deeper into the hive, one must give up one's individuality and share in the hive..what euphoria!!!
AOB has been located at the planet Venus in the company of Venusdaystar during their election parties...and he has been building a memorial for those who have lost their lives to the Bozo named "Bin Laden" we feel that his presence will rejoin the collective on his own accord

[The Borg Collective]

We are issuing you a cube ship. Bring Aaron back to the collective.

[dingo15068]

*taking the Borg Cube to the system of Venus...and entering high orbit over the planet*
We the Borg ask for our member "Aaron of Borg" to rejoin the collective.  His presence is nessisary to the hive.
--------------------------------------------------------
Resistance is futile.

[aaronofborg]

No. We will not return. Go away.

[LonMc]

Insomnia here, hailing AOB. Urgent!..We are within transporter range! Do you wish to come aboard?

Attention all vessels in the sector!

Insomina takes full responsibility for the current state of mind exibited by Arronofborg, and we vow to defend him at all costs!

The new Arronofborg is a result of our revival efforts and requires further study. To turn him back over to the Collective would be a waste of scientific discovery.

We cannot allow that!

All defenses are at maximum! Weapons are ready!

Bottom line..........mess with him...mess with us........

Insomnia standing by........

[dingo15068]

We are Borg...

We are at odds with orders..

We are ordered to retrieve AOB....he refuses

We are ordered not to assimulate our allies, nor physically force an ally to give up someone or something to the collective

We are in delima...

We require direction

*Dingo1 starts howling in pain..and collapses, the cube he is on stops all activities.  The hive mind aboard the cube sends out a call for help from the rest of the Collective"

Help we need direction...We need delima resolved...We are at impass

[LonMc]

Insomnia is ready to assist both Aronofborg and Dingo in anyway we can to help resolve this crisis.

A suggestion for Dingo: As you are aware, our revival process on AOB somehow managed to raise his level of self awareness.

We are still reviewing that data, to understand how it happened, but we feel certain that if we were to expose you to the Katrala beam, it could very well have the same effect on you....... If, that is what you feel would help.

At any rate, Insomnia is ready to serve as a place of refuge for both of you. You are certainly welcomed to stay onboard, or we can transport you to another location.

We mean no harm to any ship, including borg cubes, However any attempt to interfere with our efforts to assist either of you, will result in the complete destruction of any attacking vessel.

Gort don't play.....

Insomnia, standing by...........

[nerd57 Laugi]

*BLEEP*"Alright, folks, here's the deal. All orders for supplies must be sent through this comm-channel. This is the only com channel on this board I check for any updates on the WAN's current situation, and I can't be searching through other links to find a single order. It wastes time, and wasted time hurts efficeincy and low efficiency hurts profit.
"Allow me to reitterate. Orders for supplies should be posted on the main boards of the starships. I only check and report to these comm-links.
"Also, why is it we all use so much Sladio contact. Do any of us, other than Laugi Termina and I, ever meet face to face other than in the bar? Geez people, get out of your rooms! Party down!"*BLEEP*

[dingo15068]

ISS Insomnia,
We have our individuality, we are satisfied to remain aboard Borg cube...we are not in a position to board a ISS ship at this point, for the ISS is required to return us to Sirus to stand trial for violation of treaties.  We are aboard the Borg cube by our own request under political refugee status.  We have under went partial assimulation in order to facilitate inter communication between Borg and ISS, as temporary ambassator, as Ambassator AOB has apparently abandonned his duties for the time being.

We have a delima...we have duties that are required by the Borg as one of our represenitives...this has also put us into conflict with standing order's within the WAN fleet for providing refugee status to those who request it, within the treaties and obligations the WAN is under

[meteoroid]

Dingo you are an ambassador to the borg right now. That means that your first priority is with the WAN fleet. If you were to not fallow those directives it would seem like the borg have captured you.

[The Borg Collective]

You are Borg. You will retrieve Aaron. Do not harm him. We want him alive.

Insomina, you will not interfere. We are allies. Violence between us would be...unfortunate. Consider the ramifications of your actions. It would be wise to stay out of this. It no longer concerns you. We appreciate your rescuing Aaron, and reviving him, but you are no longer required.
