Two Borg ships flew out of a trans-warp conduit, they flew towards a large planet. Three Species 8472, and two Softmicron ships followed them out of the conduit. All of the ships exchanged fire. One Borg ship was hit, and it fell into the planet's atmosphere. It turned into a fire ball as it fell towards the surface. The last remaining Borg ship quickly jumped into another trans-warp conduit. The Softmicron and 8472 ships fired towards the planet at the same time. The whole planet imploded. ----- The Enterprise: The Red Alert lights were flashing, people were running down the corridors in panic. In: "Bridge to the port side of the ship, evacuate the area. Repeat, everyone on port side, evacuate area." James and Tani turned the corner, they bumped into several people going in the opposite direction. All of a sudden everyone was thrown into the same wall. Something crashed into the other side of the other wall. James stood away from Tani, "are you ok?" Tani put her left hand over her head, "yeah.. what the hell was that?" "Maybe a hull breach," James replied. The lights went off, the side panels all switched off. "That's not good, I hope the turbolifts.." Tani muttered. Two people switched on torches. James put his hand up, "shh, do you hear that?" Tani stepped forward. "Yeah I do.. it's like a windy noise." She went closer to the damaged wall, she placed her hand on it. "It's coming from behind here." "Get away from it," James said. Tani moved away from the wall, "maybe it was a hull breach." The whole area trembled like there was an earthquake. Everyone stumbled into the wall or someone nearby them. The shaking stopped. "Ok.. what's going on?" Tani asked. She pushed a guy who had a tight hold on her away. She glanced James' way, he was staring at one of the doors which was open just by an inch. "What's wrong?" James ignored her, he went closer to the door itself. He looked through the gap, all he could see was darkness, stars and a Softmicron ship. "Holy shit.." "What?" Tani said, sounding nervous. "Everyone go.. now," James said. The Softmicron ship then fired a torpedo in their direction. The light from it was blinding as it got closer. "Geez, what is his problem?" a posh girl's voice said. "I don't know," Lena's voice said. James felt somebody touch his shoulder. He turned around, just then the lights came back on and Lena was in front of him. "Lena, what.. what's going on?" Lena raised her eyebrow, "I'd ask you the same thing." "Look can you get this weirdo away from my quarters?" a posh woman asked. Lena glanced at her. "Your quarters?" James said. He turned around, the door was now fully open and it led to some posh looking quarters. "Yes.. can you please leave? You're creeping me out," the woman moaned. "Look come on James, lets get you to Sickbay, ok," Lena said softly. "For once that's a good idea," James muttered. He stepped away from the door, the woman then ran back into her room. Voyager, the Bridge: Kathryn was pacing the centre of the room, while Chakotay watched her. Harry looked up from his console looking all serious, "we're in." Chakotay stood up, "knowing them, we probably entered their space a long time ago." "It makes you wonder what happened to the Borg Resistance, doesn't it?" Ian said. Kevin glanced at everyone from the helm, "I have no idea what you guys are talking about. Is that ok?" Kathryn smiled, "yes it's ok, it was ages ago. Keep going, so far so good." "Yes Captaine," Kevin said. He turned back to the helm. Chakotay went over to stand by Kathryn's side. "Second time round, what do you think?" "We didn't have a smooth trip last time, but this time we have more advantages," Kathryn replied. "A few extra ships, maybe," Chakotay said. "Not just that. I have a feeling that the Resistance are winning the battle against the Borg. Think about it.. when was the last time we saw a Borg ship that wasn't a Resistance ship?" Kathryn said. "Probably the last time was Thrown Key," Chakotay said. "Woah, two whole seasons ago," Harry muttered in amazement. He looked at his hands, "I was Borg that long ago.. weird." Kevin turned around, "what the hell are Borg?" Everyone stared in his direction. Enterprise, Sickbay: Doctor Jones appeared in the middle of the room. "Please state the nature of the medical emergency." He looked around the room, he noticed Lena and Nikki standing nearby James. "Does that other EMH ever get activated now?" "We like you better, I thought your ego would like that idea," Lena replied. Doctor Jones smiled, "really? Oh of course." "Well you don't smoke in my face, that's a plus on your behalf," Lena said. "So, what's the problem this time?" Doctor Jones asked. Lena folded her arms, "according to several people, James just stopped in the middle of the corridor, outside of someone's quarters and went into a trance." She glanced in James' direction. "You can tell him the rest." "I didn't go in a trance. Your voice went over the intercom, you told everyone to evacuate the port side. Then something hit the port side," James said. "Sounds to me like an hallucination," Doctor Jones said. He walked over to the group, he picked up a tricorder on the way. "Maybe but.. you've got to hear the rest," James said. Doctor Jones started scanning him with the tricorder. Lena sat down beside him, "go on." "That door I was standing outside, well when I first saw it, on the other side was just space like something had smashed into that part of the ship, and tore those quarters apart. A Softmicron ship was there," James said. Lena glanced Doctor Jones' way, "please tell me it was just a run of the mill hallucination, and not one of those become reality visions." Nikki pulled a face, "it's quite common now, can't keep happening." "Hmm," Doctor Jones murmured. Everyone stared his way looking annoyed. "This is different.. unless you count the time you killed Crewman Threepwood." Nikki giggled, "funny name." Doctor Jones raised his eyebrow, "yes um.. there's telepathic activity in your brain. That could mean a vision." Lena pulled herself off the biobed, "crap.. you know what that means." "Posh woman's going to lose her quarters for one thing," James said. "It means we're going to have a run in with the Softmicron, in Borg space.. I don't get it," Lena said. Nikki shook her head, "no that's not going to happen." "Why not, a Softmicron colony isn't exactly far away from here," James said questioningly. "You don't get it.. this is Borg Space, it's been taken over by the Resistance. They have thousands of powerful ships in their possession," Nikki said. "I don't follow you.. Softmicron are suppose to be a lot stronger than Borg," Lena said. "Yeah but the Softmicron haven't got as many ships as the Borg, they never did. The Softmicron aren't stupid, they wont attack a species so powerful unless they have an advantage. They don't have one," Nikki said. "Is that a guess, or is it actual fact?" James asked. "I spent a long time in the Tolg, the Softmicron and the Tolg never really fought against each other," Nikki replied. "Maybe it's cos we know too many races, but why don't I believe her?" Lena muttered. "I know what you mean," James said. Doctor Jones closed his tricorder, "you are both reading too much into this. Everytime James has seen something that has happened, he has seemed his version of normal." James glared in his direction. "This time I detected something.. maybe it was a telepathic crewman's dream." "Or he overheard someone else's vision," Lena said. Nikki felt her forehead, "this hurts.. how on earth can a human do that?" "It could happen to me too," Lena said. "Oh it's a Slayer thing," Nikki said. "Wait a second here," James said. Everyone looked at him. "Can't be either of those.. it was me in the dream or vision. Do you get it, whatever it was, it was mine." "Or you swap bodies with someone telepathic," Nikki blurted out. "He has a good point Doc," Lena said, ignoring Nikki. She pouted. "I'll do a more detailed scan, if I may?" Doctor Jones said. "Ok fine," James said. "Don't worry people, we'll figure this out. We always do," Lena said. "Should I inform the Captain?" Doctor Jones asked. Lena glared at him, "I am the Captain." "Oh yes, this is the Enterprise.. of course," Doctor Jones stuttered. "Look Lena, I have a bad feeling about this," James quickly interrupted. Lena looked at him instead. "This is going to happen, I can tell." "Not to my ship it's not," Lena said. Meanwhile, some abandoned quarters: The entire room was dark, three figures were sitting on the ground. Two more beamed in, they stood near the others. "It's working, he got it alright," a posh voice said. "Good.. all we have to do is wait for now," a familiar girl's voice said. Voyager, the Bridge: "Captain, transwarp conduit alert," Harry stuttered. Kathryn stood up, "on screen." "Red Alert," Chakotay ordered. The lights dimmed, the red light started flashing. Harry sighed, "they're hailing.. that's good right?" "We'll see, open a channel," Kathryn commanded. The Klingon Korok appeared on the viewscreen, minus a lot of Borg implants. "Voyager, it's an honour to see you again." Kathryn smiled, "General Korok, it's good to see you again too. I take it the Resistance is going well." "Three years ago it was going well, Captain. I am confused though, why is Voyager back at Borg Space?" Korok said questioningly. "Old enemies brought us back to this quadrant, it is a longer story than that," Kathryn replied. "What did you mean by it was going well three years ago?" Chakotay asked. "For the last month we've been under attack," Korok replied. "By who? Borg people?" Kevin asked. "Species 8472," Korok replied. "Is it because we're here, cos we did this the last time we were here," Ian commented. "That's not all," Korok said. Harry sighed, "that's good right, cos you have weapons against them and we've done this before." "Species 8472 are not alone this time. Species 23 is aiding the attacks," Korok said. "Who's Species 23?" Kathryn asked. Meanwhile, the Enterprise: "Softmicron?" Jessie muttered. Lena glanced behind her, she looked back with a raised eyebrow. "Yeah.. why comment like that?" "I thought they didn't use ships that much," Jessie replied. "I know, it doesn't make any sense. For starters James hasn't seen something from the future, he's always seen stuff that's happened before," Lena said. Jessie stood up, "he has.. I mean he has seen stuff from the future." "Ok, did any of those times turn out to be a fluke?" Lena asked. "The really silly ones yeah, in other words they were just nightmares," Jessie replied. Lena rolled her eyes, "ok, give me an example of one that came true." "Only once, unless he hasn't told me or I've forgot," Jessie said. Lena folded her arms impatiently. "Oh um, he went to open a door or something and Iinan was there. He stabbed him like he really did later, just in a different place and stuff." "So James' visions aren't accurate, but they get to the point," Lena said. She smiled, "get to the point.. did you get that?" Jessie stared blankly at her. "I'm a very sick person." Jessie smiled nervously, "yeah um whatever. Look this could be just a plain old hallucination, or like you said it wasn't accurate." "Meaning another part of the ship gets smashed in, and James is there too?" Lena said questioningly. "He might not be there at the time," Jessie said. Lena groaned, "maybe he's only right about the Softmicron attacking, and everything else is just made up." "You said they get to the point, maybe everything happens but like you said in a different place. Or the ship doesn't get smashed in, maybe it just gets a tiny bit damaged," Jessie said. "There's no way to know for sure. We just have to remember that the Softmicron will cause a lot of damage if we meet them, so we get the hell out of there when we do," Lena said. "Look Lena, I don't mean this as an offense to James.. he's just new to this whole telepathic thing. But I figured if something like this happens in the future, you or Faye would of sensed it too," Jessie said. Lena stared at her in shock, "Faye? Thanks for reminding me, better check her." She ran out of the room. Jessie shrugged, "fine."   Go to Part 2 >>
