Part of Bravo Fleet: We Are the Borg

At Our Heels

It was supposed to be a simple mission to destroy a piece of Borg scrap, but a sudden appearance from a Borg Sphere has the Lafayette racing against time to lead the Borg away from the planet and not get assimilated in the process.

Mission Description

The Devol Outpost on Canderus Prime has been a leading force in research and development for the Federation for years. Part of their success, and no secret to anyone, has been the reverse engineering of borg tech they’ve collected from battles and wreckage around the galaxy.

 

Now, one of their artifacts has started broadcasting a signal, along with many other bits of Borg technology lying around the galaxy, and the USS Lafayette has been sent to disassemble and dispose of the offending tech. But when a Borg Sphere arrives to reclaim what is there, the Lafayette is left with no choice but to lead the Sphere away, and hope they can survive the process.

“Status report,” Cromwell had sat in the center chair for as long as he could. He stood up and walked toward the conn, his mind buzzing with anxiety knowing that that Sphere was close enough behind to kick them.  “Holding at warp 8, the Sphere is closing a lot faster than I’d like it [...]
