“Okay that was fun,” Kate said stepping off the transporter pad. “We got nothing accomplished and kicked off the ship.”

Lissi spotted a small anomaly during transport that had affected the transporter systems. A check showed that five nanites had beamed in with the away team. They had stayed in the fibres of the clothes of two members of the away team. They were activated the moment they materialised with the away team. That activation caused the anomaly. They had moved out the their hiding place and were now moving about rather slowly on the transporter pad. They seemed to be looking for an entry point to leave the surface of the transporter pad.

“I need to get to the bridge ma’am,” Kate said to the XO, “and try to piece together what the hell happened over there,” stepping off the pad entirely.

“Ooohhhh no you don’t …” The young woman murmured as she slammed a quarentine field around the transporter pad, hoping the people on the pad had stepped off. Lissi looked up at the Captain, “Sir.. I have a couple nanites trapped a quarantine field on transporter pad two. They apparently rode in on the crewmen that came aboard. I think they’re looking for access. If we can get a data padd down there… Maybe they’d link intoit?”

The new engineering Chief suddenly wished she’d paid more attention to nanites when they’d studies them in class.

Kate instantly spun drawing her weapon. Nanites. Borg. Nanites from a possible Borg ship. Any combination of those words was not good and Kate was not taking any chances on her home turf. Looking at the busy bots Kate had one question. “This containment field is going ot hold right?”

The nanites seemed to be trying to adapt to the new situation. They were trying ways to pierce through the quarantine field but they were no able to. How could those small robots contain all the programming to even try?

After several minutes had passed, the nanites were observed to have slowed down.

Communications detected a small subspace domain which was attempting to contact the nanites in the quarantine field.

“Sir,” a security officer said standing at a console. “Comms are detecting a small subspace domain that is trying to contact the nanites. How should I proceed,” he asked Kate.

“Is it in English? Can we respond to it,” she asked.

Lissa waited till the nanites slowed down and increased the forcefield as well as set it to minute fractional rotational changes so that they couldn’t weedle their way out.

On examining the communications, the security officer replied, “It is encrypted but it looks like the subspace messages that the Borg drones use.”

GM

Lissi frowned and wondered out loud. “You think maybe these are a Borg precursor? That instead of large cubes, they are sending… these… as scouts and beacons?” She glanced around as she realized she had been musing loud enough for others to hear. She braced herself expecting the room to laugh at her for such a ridiculous idea.

Kate thought about the situation and suddenly came up with an insane idea. Only one species of a sentient being to the Federation has ever been listed as unworthy by the Borg: The Kazon. Kate tapped her comm badge to contact the Captian =/\=Sir the transmission we are receiving has a Borg element to it. If this was some sort of expeditionary force might I suggest we find a way to transmit back the source that they have encountered a ship of Kazon? To my knowledge, the Borg finds them uninteresting enough not to assimilate. If they think we are Kazon they might go about their business and give us a chance to regroup. The Odin is a great girl but one ship against the Borg has never been good odds no matter how stellar the crew. =/\=

The alien ship then attempted to bypass the shields to contact the nanites that had accompanied the away team. Strangely though, the ship did not seem to be able to adjust their communication frequencies to get pass the Odin’s shield harmonics quickly enough to contact the nanites.
