Thanks to ECF, the Borg have gotten back on their feet and regained the foothold they need. A floatilla of 3 cubes, a pyrimidial planitary assimilation platform, 1 defender class warp artillery platform, and 5 tactical spheres slid silently one-by-one into the GATE station which pushed them into an area of subspace called a "Transwarp conduit" which propelled the massive vessels at speeds exceeding warp 16 to their target.

some 40 hours later, a tall 4-armed creature looking through his telescope would see a portal opening in space, his triangular eyes would watch as large geometric shapes poured out of it. and would still be awestruck as the pyramidial shape faced it's top towards his planet... Then he would no longer be so suprised.

Suprise implies individuality.

There are no individuals.

There is only the Borg.

" Sir, I am not sure where they are going, but wanna take a little peak on where they're going? "

" Sure, Track that conduit and engage the jump drive, get some cloaking up. "

The captain sat in his chair, and the ship juddered slightly. In a instant the borg fleet could be seen assimlating somthing.

The captain stood up and ordred a scan of the planet in question.

" Sir, looks like they were still primitive, so I dont see a problem "

The captain looked very realived " Good, I wonder if they'll notice somthing is here keep sheilds up"

They may be able to see whats there, but not idenfity it.

Onboard a cube a single alarm went off for a moment. "Spatial distortion in grid 391-88-13γ. Probable source. Cloaked ship entering the system." The queen of the cube that alarm went off on thought carefully. It must be an ECF vessel come to watch us... We have nothing to hide over here. "Proceed on schedule to colonize the other worlds in this system."

"Proceed on schedule to colonize the other worlds in this system."

" Hmm, they did detect us! Wanna play like that? Watch this, bring cloaking generator 2 online. "

Several experimental generators spun up and even borg sensors wouldnt be able to detect the ship as it slipped away from the time space fabric.

The comm officer opened a channel.

" Now how cool is that "

"Spatial distortions have vanished." the queen of the cube was puzzled by this development and ordered it to break formation and go to the space where the distortion once was. a borg detail-scanner lit up and caused the whole space where the ship once was to alight green. but it did not see any sign of the ship.

The queen opened a comm channel. "How can you cloak without creating spatial distortions?"

" Go to visual and decloak "

The ship decloaked next to the borg ships, it was about 1km long, flat on both sides with running lights all over the palce, very powerful warship.

A comm was opened

" yeah its pretty cool, Im drunk right now "

The queen was unsure as to how to respond, the translators seem to have told her that the captain of the other ship was a consumed liquid. "Our translatinf software is having problems. Please clerify."

" You like pretty hot "

A crewman pulled the captain off the chair and into the turbo lift'

A comm was opened " sorry about that, he was pretty smashed, he gets bored. "

The queen was again confused. "Erm... he's been hit with some kind of blunt instrument? I apologise... I'm not equipped for such... vauge language, I'll transfer you to a Queen more equipped for this sort of thing."

The cube broke off, as a sphere took it's place, the sphere hailed the vessel. "I apologise for my counterpart's confusion. The Borg 'language' makes such concepts as the injestion of alcohol and it's subsequent effects rather... hard to grasp."

The captain walked off the deck, and headed to his quaters.

The 1st officer being just as immature being a mere 200 years old " wow you are really hot, anyway. Mind telling me a bit about your plans here? If your interested in holding a conference, maybe exhanging some tech, I'd be more than happy to beam you over and we could discuss some possible deals "

The 1st officer was stunned at the borg queen, " Wow, you are really attracive, anyway. We're pretty sure that you plan to make your home hear, considreing you have that generator, and we have a proposal, if your willing to be beamed over we can discuss this in person. "

This borg queen however wasn't as appreciative of the young first-officer's advances. "Careful there. If you take what you are about to try to do as far as you want to do it. Then you just might find leaving the collective a hard proposition." She smirked at his stunned silence. "Although we are in need of some improved cloning technology... Perhaps you should come over here."

" Calm down, Im just being an ass, plus my wife wouldnt really like me being serious about it, anyway. Prepare to beam over, and meet me in conferance room 3B. The Guards will escort you there the captain and I will be wating "

"Alright." the borg transporter system disengaged it's security protocols and allowed for the ECF transporters to bring her to their conferance room

The 1st officer and captain were sitting at the conferance table, there was already a hologram of a large battlestation/spacedock, even huge by borg standards

" Have a seat, ok kids lets do this. "

The captain motined to the hologram " That is known as Beta, its a battlestation that we wish to put in your terriorty near your new home world, as a staging base for seven hundard ships if troubled times should occur. This station has pretty much everything. Its impossible to scan, very hard to detect, very heavily armed. And can blow the shit out of pretty much anything that comes into contact with it. Good protection for you, and a good place for us to stage. Here, read this PDA, im sure you can read it fairely quickly. "

The PDA Read:
Beta Station
19x10x3km
530 Offensive Weapons
Class 12 Sheild Generator
Storage: Up to 100 Borg Cubes or 110 ECF Class 3 or lower ships
Main Reactor: Quantum Converter

" Im sure you'll find them impressive. But what would you want in exchange? "

The queen whistled audably. "That's an impressive station... but you misunderstand, the borg have no need for "homeworlds". This is just another system nothing more. We welcome our allies' presence in our system and ask only two things in return."

She leans in on the table. "I'd like a borg presence on the station as a permanant ambassidor. And I'd like any technology pertaining to cloning or genetic engeneering you'd care to spare to us."

" Sure, a small diplomatic office will be allowed, borg can roam throught the ship, besides battle drones. And worker drones. There will be off limits areas, but nothing that cant be worked out. "

The commander chimed in " as far as cloning goes, we can get gestation down to a week if you really wanted to. If your interested that is, Ive been informed by the goverment, that if a queen would like to come to the homeworld for a social tour, thats possible if she would be interested. So, does a week sound good for gestation? And would you be interested in a tour? Also, what else do you wish to discuss while we're all here "

"A week is acceptable, and I wouldn't dream of having military drones on your station other then a few token guards. Most likely I'd send a group of 20 or so drones, mostly scientists and engineers so we can more effectively compare scientific notes and such. They're all individualized and can be ordered not to give the collective information if you so order them."

"As for a social tour. That sounds like a lovely idea. One of the queens near your space shall be sent as soon as is convineint for you.
