A New Adventure
Interlude II: A Star in the Sky
--------------------
*Remember our trip?*
*You took me to the Opal Sea…*
*Staring at our reflection in the water,*
*I was at my happiest, Imzadi…*
--------------------
Log Entry: Captain Talons, Rider; Supplemental.*The Captain can be seen with his head resting in his hands. Lifting his head he looks into the recording device.*
We’ve managed to eliminate the Borg threat near the transwarp conduit. We’ve recovered Commander Reaver and have placed him in sick bay. The implants are being removed swiftly and cautiously by our Chief Medical Officer, Doctor Reeves. The modified implants are not the Borg norm, so I have given the Doctor Permission to perform minor exploratory surgery in conjuncture with the removals.
We’ve managed to… capture Da’Lexian. I would say that we’ve ‘rescued Narciso’ but… This is a difficult issue. I've placed Narciso in science lab one, under constant surveillance and extreme security. The changes made to Narciso’s body and mentality is extreme.
Currently we are on route to the Stonewall Fleet’s Starbase. All the ships involved in this mission have taken heavy damages. The U.S.S. Gran Pulse had to be towed until its warp-drive could be repaired.
On a personal note, I have a bad feeling.
Talons out.

Log Entry: Lieutenant Geroff, Marietta; Supplemental.*The blurry figure of a woman can be seen lifting a large wrench-like tool into a batting stance. The figure suddenly swings the bat swiftly and strikes the recording console which lights up as the image quality becomes crystal clear.*
Who knew that physical therapy can be so good for the mind… At least it does for me. I’m not the sensitive type, at least not vocally. There’s an intrepid class starship out there somewhere that can vouch for me. We've got Kenneth and Narciso back. Kenneth is in surgery, I was able to see him before the doctor began the operation. Theo is helping, having inside knowledge since he himself was liberated from the Borg.
*Marietta places her hand over her mouth and looks away, tears begin to form and begin to freefall from her eyes.*
Oh Gods… I wish I hadn’t gone in to see him! The fucking Borg mutilated him! His face, his body… those God dammed implants! I… I can’t let myself think of him like that.
*She wipes the tears from her eyes and looks back into the recorder, her rage subsiding.*
I was going to go see Narciso, the Captain warned me not to do so. I’m going to listen to him this time. Seeing Kenneth like that… I can’t see Narciso, I would die… It’s not right having family taken from you like that… I’m done. I’m getting too emotional.
*Marietta reaches down and hastily lifts up the wrench-like tool again, seeming ready to strike the console again. Surprisingly she just uses her free hand and turns off the recording device by pushing a button.*
--------------------------------
Log Entry: Ensign Demark, Christina; Supplemental.*A pretty face appears on the screen, her eyes hastily reading up all the data on the various pads scattered on the desk before her. She speaks without looking.*
I’ve been asked to assist on the operation that is going to be performed on Dr. Heliree. But his condition is extremely different from that of regular drones. There’s very limited information on this and waaaay too many differences. The closest we have is the data on Captain Picard all those years ago. But even then, it was different. Captain Picard was taken into the Borg Collective. Dr. Heliree was, however, made into a Borg “Queen” in all aspects. From what we could gather, these Borg were, for some reason, separated permanently from the collective. They needed someone who was capable of keeping order of everything –EVERYTHING- that happens. Anyways, Commander Reaver’s case is similar enough to Captain Picard’s that Doctor Reeves ordered the surgery immediately. Anyways, I want to get all the information i can to help Dr. Heliree's surgery be successful. He's not just another star in the sky.
*Chrissy tosses her current datapad and takes another. The recording cuts off after minutes only having Chrissy studying in silence.*
