The Diamond D-46782631, finally being relievd from combat duties by interdictor INT-00000003, begain a sensor sweep of grid 073/-027/-041 about 68 ly's away from the outer-border) after detecting a primitive light-speed transmission from the planet. Some basic ships were in orbit of the planet and a few oriented themselves to face the strange new ship. The diamond used it's universal translation wave to transmit on all channels and on all frequencies in all known non-obtrusive communication types (using the classic borg technique of thousands of voices in unison)

"We are the Borg Collective of Blackgrue, We come in peace and wish to establish peaceful relations with your culture. We offer technologies and military protection to your small culture. We wish to improve ourselves and We wish to improve the rest of the universe. We need a leader or an ambassidor to contact, please transmit landing coordinates."

The Diamond D-46782631, finally being relievd from combat duties by interdictor INT-00000003, begain a sensor sweep of grid 073/-027/-041 about 68 ly's away from the outer-border) after detecting a primitive light-speed transmission from the planet.

"We are the Borg Collective of Blackgrue, We come in peace and wish to establish peaceful relations with your culture. We offer technologies and military protection to your small culture. We wish to improve ourselves and We wish to improve the rest of the universe. We need a leader or an ambassidor to contact, please transmit landing coordinates."

~A transmission came from the planet's surface. A deep, rumbling voice carried with it.~

<"The council is expecting you, transmitting coordinates now.">

The Diamond increased it's atmosphereic shielding and formed it's ablative armor into a dome on it's ventral side. Re-entry with geometric ships are not a problem for the shielding technologies of the Borg. The ship approached the coordinates and remainded in hover above the council building.

A few pedestrians outside saw the ship in wonder
"What is it?"
"I don't know..."
"You think it's going to land?"
"On what? A thing that size... and besides I don't see any landing gear"

Suddenly in a green flash a Borg queen and an entorage of 4 security drones appered.

It may have been the shock of their appearence, it may have been the strange people's semi-robotic appearance, and it may simply be a survival instict but the onlookers ran as fast as they could. The Queen paid them no heed and simply walked towards the council building..

~The ornate, rustic doors of the council building creaked open slowly. Someone, short, once tall, but stooped over a knarled wooden cane slowly emerged from the opening. The being hobbled down the marble steps purposefully as the visitors approached. His long earthen toned robe and hood hid the man's features as he approached, but at a shortened distance, the fact that he was an old man was more apparent. He greeted them with a wave of a wrinkled hand and a mumbled word. He spoke in a grating, grumbling tone, as if speaking with the harshness of a stone tumbling down the mountain side.~

"The Council welcomes the travelers from the stars. We have sensed you long before you arrived, curious beings you are. Or should I say, one being."

~He lifted his head, the hood sliding back to reveal an elderly face blinded by a black silk blindfold. He seemed to look at them for a moment before turning back toward the government building. Beckoning them to follow.~

"Do not matter about the young ones."

~He continued as they walked up to the main building, waving a dismissive hand to random groups of people.~

"They do not possess the sight that comes with age."

The queen sensing that for this man facial expressions were unnessicary deactivated the acutators for that function, thus lacking her trade-mark smile used for dealing with negotiators. She said simply "Thank you, we've become accustomed with this kind of attention with our dealings with the Mantikans. How may I address you mister...?"

~The old man chuckled in the same granite voice. Stopping to turn to the young woman. A smirk adorning his worn face.~

"You sound as if a child. Mister..."

~He chuckled a little more, his thin frame shaking some.~

"Refer to me as Azure, my title is not necessary. I know you friend enough for that. Now come, there is much to discuss."

~He turned after he spoke and hobbled up the stairs leading into the building.~

"You sound as if a child. Mister..."


The Queen laughed at that as the two of them headed up the stairway. "Azure, I am essentially the same as the initial Borg Queen constructed nearly 2,500 years ago... then again I myself was only constructed about 6 moths ago... so you could say I am both older then you and a child. As for my name, I am Borg queen unit 967231... I am one of many who can claim 'I am the one who is many'."

~He scoffed at the fact of her lost individuality he sensed and heard from her.~

"Borg Queen 9672-..."

~He interupted himself with a shake of the head as they passed through the stone and wood archway.~

"That is not a proper name for a woman such as yourself."

~He stopped for a moment, his brow furrowed in concentration under the black cloth. He stood there for a minute before he snapped his finger.~

"Your name is Lynn..."

~He thought it over some more, glancing up and down the taller figure of the Borg Queen.~

"Yes, that name suits you much better."

~He hurried his pace as he headed for two much larger ornate doors. Talking loud enough to be heard down the echoing corridor.~

"Yes, yes... much better."

She shrugged her shoulders at that. "As you wish... Verbal communication is very inefficient in conveying borg designations... but the numbers used are much more useful for our collective minds to handle and create new designations for new drones and queen units... Each species has their own way I guess."

~Azure pushed open the large wooden doors with a practiced ease as he entered the Council room. The area was a large semicircled dome with a circular floor. Several podiums floated several feet off the ground around the floor, attached to the inner surface of the dome. At each podium stood a figure, male and female alike. All but three were as old as Azure, wearing the same blindfold and robe. Those three that didn't wear a blindfold seemed to have brightly colored eyes, shimmering slightly when they tilted their heads to cast their eyes on the visitors. Azure spoke first.~

"I present these 'Star Travelers' before the Council of Seven."

~He bowed afterwards and was dismissed by a wave of a hand. An old woman on the council, blindfolded and standing on a podium to the left of "Lynn" spoke one word. Her voice resonated through the chamber, beautifully commanded.~

"Speak."

"I am 'Lynn' of The Borg Collective of Blackgrue. We come in peace... We seek an alliance with your people and our terms are simple...

We want your unwanted population... criminals, political dissidents etc. to propagate our race, We want a permanant embassy, and we want mutual economic and research treeties.

We are willing to offer advanced technologies and military protection in addition to the fact that most of our terms provide mutual benifit.

~The members of the council conferred among themselves, nodding or shaking their heads to unspoken words. Several minutes of silence and activity later, the "center" member spoke. He was one of the younger ones, his eyes shimmered as he spoke, his voice was as if a sweet breeze caressed "Lynn's" face.~

"We accept your terms, although we will deal with our own people."

Slowly being built by both draconic order workers and Borg drones, the embassy was being built smoothly It was rather menacing for an embassy. but it was built more so that the draconic order could learn more about the borg rather then as a meeting place.

The borg queen's EM sensors picked up the noise of someone behind her, "There'a no need to hide, whoever you are. come on out."

The borg queen's audo sensors picked up the noise of someone behind her, "There'a no need to hide, whoever you are. come on out." :confused:

~The air fluctuated as a young man emerged from the shadows, wisps of smoky vapor leaving him as he became more visible.~

"That was good outsider, rarely have I been detected while drifting on the ethereal winds."

~He wore the same kind of earth toned robed garments that many of the civilians wore. His eyes were a shining silvery color as he admired the shapely borg woman in front of him.~

The queen raised an eyebrow in a vulcanesque manner. "It helps when you've got sensors built into your skull... at any rate who are you? and what do you mean, "etherial winds"?

"Hmm..."

~The man scratched his silvery blonde head for a moment. Before he tried to explain the concept.~

"Think of a place that doesn't exist by normal laws, where dreams flow, and the subconscious goes to rest."

~He waited after that statement for it to sink in.~

The queen thought for a moment and then suddenly understood.

"You're telling me, that you accessed subspace by nothing but your own biology?" She activated her active sensors and noticed the man was literally covered in tetrion particles. "Damn it's true... You actually went into subspace..."

~The man smirked.~

"I could teach you how to drift the ethereal winds, if that is what you desire."

~He leaned against the nearby wall, awaiting her reply.~

The queen thought again for a moment... "Not at the moment.. I'm needed here... however," A drone approached the two of them "If you teach him, I'll instantly know how it'a done. Intoduce yourself."

"I am Adjuct 9 of unimatrix 1. You may call my nine of one."

"I am Adjuct 9 of unimatrix 1. You may call my nine of one."

"Ok, umm... nine of one. Lets go somewhere to practice."

~He said as he showed the drone to a park.
Several days passed as the man, Daro, tried to show nine of one how to access his unconcious mind's dreamscape. To feel the flow of his natural surroundings as if they were a part of him.~

The borg continued his near-emotionless state. "Agreed. The setting of this construction site would be distracting... on that note I plan to sever my connection with the collective temporarily to perform this so do not worry about my lacking individuality being a problem.:

The stranger and the borg walked about 100 meters away from the site into a clearing.
"Now, 9... the first stage is to clear your mind.... Forget all that you think you know and simply let go."

The drone, complied as best he could and his mind emptied.

"Next feel your mind lifting away from your body... don't think about it, just feel it."

The drone's eyes suddenly opened, he knew this feeling. It was an entrance into unimatrix 0. He felt himself leaving his body as his mind flowed into the subspace realm.

The borg queen, knowing that her subspace tranciever would pick up the moment the drone entered subspace, smiled when she felt the vibration. They would now have a distinct advantage in ship-to-ship combat.

The drone returned and did a quick collective dump of what he saw. "How did I do?" he asked maintaining his emotionless monotone.

~Dero nodded.~

"Very good... very good indeed. Now you just have to hone that skill. I hope that this action puts us in good terms with each other."

~He said as he faded from the drone's sight, drifting again on the ethereal winds.~

The queen smiled her own private smile. Very few shields could hope to block an entrance via subspace onto their ship. This could be the beginning of the rise of a whole new collective empire.
