Side Sim/Char Intro - Safe Haven - Tag: CO

Shutting the hatch of his small shuttle, he saw the Section 31 Officers approaching. “Computer, switch input from LCARS to Alphanumerics.” He commanded, watching as the panels went from the multicoloured squares to green circles and lines, more intuitive considering he was part Borg. He understood the language a little better as he slid back a metal panel with two prongs side by side. “Initiate direct interface.” Lieutenant Akaba extended his left arm forward as the assimilation tubules came out and he interacted with the ship directly, plugging himself in. He could now control the ship with his thoughts as the engines powered up and he left the Federation Station in quite the hurry.

The Astraios wouldn’t be far behind, despite it’s size the vessel was formidable. He could feel the code running through his head, binary flashes. 1 and 0, black and white, survival and extinction… That’s how the Collective saw everything, now and again if he closed his eyes he could still hear their might, billions of voices acting as one single, one perfect entity. He had no intention of losing his individuality, but he still admired their goal of perfection even if he completely disagreed with their methods of attaining it. “Initiate system diagnostic, current status of transwarp drive.” Seeing the results, he bit his lip. The Earth Term for his transwarp drive was “Jerry-Built”, the shuttle was one his grandfather left to him as a child, as a Starfleet Officer he never had much need of it until now.

Christened the Nova Luna, he’d done a lot of work in upgrading it’s propulsion and structural integrity. “Transwarp drive is operational.” The computer replied, his analysis of the coil concurred, having altered the warp core and main deflector of the small vessel to allow for transwarp velocity. “Engage the drive.” He commanded, building up a tachyon pulse as the ship went to warp before opening a conduit. “Please enter location.” The female voice stated. That was a point, where did he want to go? He needed somewhere his father couldn’t follow, where he could lie low. “The USS Viking, do you have co-ordinates?” He asked, the system accessing records. “Location verified. Estimated time to arrival is 2 hours and 25 minutes at current velocity.”

Plugging out of the system, he pulled down what used to be a biobed and lay down. It too had been altered to act as an alcove, regeneration inside it took twice as long as normal due to power constraints. “Computer, dim lights to Level 1. Engage alcove.” His eyes shut and he instantly began to feel better… Reira really did have to do it more often, leaving it too long was dangerous. Being woken up when he arrived, the grogginess passed as he tapped at the controls. “This is the shuttlecraft Nova Luna hailing USS Viking, are you receiving me?” He asked, staring at the ship… It seemed to be in good condition? He remembered it being barely spaceworthy and frankly, creepy. The computer wasn’t mocking him for a start, the lilac-haired drone wasn’t sure if that was comforting. “I repeat, this is Nova Luna hailing USS Viking. I am Lieutenant Reira Akaba, requesting permission to dock.” He repeated.
