Perhaps I shouldn't have said anything about the lack of entertaining diversions ever since the party--emh has invited me, along with some other members of the senior staff, for a 'gala evening' i.e. a presentation of some of his holocamera slides, accompanied by suitable narrative, of course. I'm all in favor of my crew having hobbies, but ( Read more... )

Well, let's see. Perhaps it would be easier to say what did *not* occur at the party last night:

Nobody became drunk on the fermented leola root punch.

Nobody lynched _neelix_ for serving aforementioned punch ( Read more... )

This isn't quite what I had in mind when I suggested a party.

I thought it would provide some 'bonding time' among the crew, a chance to relax and blow off some steam after the recent tense time (and battle) re: the vinculum and species 6339. And also that it would be very helpful for seven_of_nine now that she has recovered from her ordeal, to see how much ( Read more... )

I should have suspected something like this ( Read more... )

We've located a vessel belonging to species 6339 on long-range sensors, and have plotted an intercept course in the hopes they can give us some insight about the virus infecting the Borg vinculum--and how to counter its effects ( Read more... )

Well, I've just spent an interesting few hours in Sickbay with seven_of_nine.

I've swapped jokes with a Bolian manicurist, and before that I was debating temporal physics with a Krenim scientist. Twelve new personalities have surfaced in the last hour alone. Seven's having an increasingly difficult time; emh was forced to sedate her.

I keep thinking about what chakotay ( Read more... )

We've got a definite lead on what happened to the vinculum to cause it to malfunction. Species 6399--mostly assimilated by the Borg a few years ago, and now a shuttlecraft of the last few survivors apparently carried a virus in their bodies, which infected the cube which picked them up. I've ordered long range scans for any more of their vessels. ( Read more... )

We have located the source of the Borg neural interlink frequency in the debris field. seven_of_nine has confirmed that this unit is a Borg vinculum, the processing device at the core of every Borg vessel. It interconnects the minds of all the drones as well as purges individual thoughts and disseminates information relevant to the Collective. We believe this ( Read more... )

seven_of_nine has just regained consciousness in Sickbay. Tuvok and a security team went to apprehend her after the 'incident' in Engineering with paristorres. As he reported, instead of an out-of-control Seven, he encountered a little girl who said her name was 'Maryl'. She was crouched in an almost fetal position--paralyzed with fear, he said--near the body of a downed ( Read more... )

Security has just been called to Engineering. There seems to be a 'problem' with seven_of_nine and paristorres. As I just said to chakotay, I can't believe those two have finally come to blows, but apparently Seven attacked her. I've ordered force fields for containment; Seven is currently on deck 9, section 23. She is not answering hails ( Read more... )
