A fitting punishment Part II

[Lt.Khrys Antos]

Well last time I posted, many people read of the not so lawful exploits of Lt.Tanko. After a week or so of playing and several episodes later this is what's going on now.

He's dead.

Ok..ok... he wasn't killed by Section 31 or uncovered in any way, he just bit the dust when he challenged an Andorian to a duel. Couple rounds later he lay beaten into a pulp. Apart from that another character has shown signs of the "Tanko" syndrome. He's shown signs of insubordination and willful disregard for the command structure.

Not much else to say, I thought he'd survive longer and at least give me an opportunity to truly screw him over.

Right now, the crew is about to participate in a fleet engagement against the renegade Klingon Chancellor. Their victory is not assured and their will be Romulans on their side of the border de-cloaked and watching. They will not interfere unless someone fires upon them or attempts to use their space.

After this its the new narrator and the Barzan wormhole episode where the Borg attack and the ship follows. The ship is stranded on the other side like VOY and they must find a way back.

Well, for all those who helped me with the judicial hearing episode. Thx a bunch and maybe I'll have another for you soon...

[Captain Zymmer]

Sounds good.

Barzan wormhole eh?

Tell me more

[Lt.Khrys Antos]

Well the Barzan Wormhole Incident as it will be known; will be the site where the Klingons and Federation re-establish the Khitomer Accords.

The Barzans have 'supposedly' managed to create a wormhole stabilizing technobabble. While there, the little Barzan freighters in the experiment will start and the wormhole will expand and well thats when it gets interesting...

The klingons have sent a Negh'Var commanded by Tor'q(IKDF general), the crew is aboard an Ambassador-class as yet to be named. During the "toast", the crew looks out the window, the wormhole stabilizes in swirls of bright lights, when suddenly they detect a Borg signature coming their way....

A cube exits the wormhole, fires on the barzans and engages the feds/klingons. The Klingons will sacrifice themselves for the Feds, a last ditch attempt to save everyone which works slightly. The Borg Cube will damage their ship, assimilate some of their crew and then tractor the freighters back to their side of the wormhole.

The crew's ship will have to follow;

A) Retrieve the Barzan's technology and scientists still alive.
B) Retrieve some of their crew.

Now the Barzan tech does not actually work, its just an accident, a Borg Cube was in a transport conduit when the Barzan experiment made it drop out. They are interested in knowing how come and will assimilate them. The PC's know none of this and find out only once on the other side.

They must then collapse the Barzan exit point since it exits near a small Borg enclave. Lost in space, a type of VOY feel while having saved the federation they must then return to Federation space.

At this point one of the PC's will take over narrating, I get to play my character and he gets to use some of his VOY inspired ideas. All in all, the Borg used will be healthy and not Admiral Janeway infected. They fought the pathogen off and used Norton Virus Scan on their systems.

Ouch that sounds like a tough adventure/campaign opener

I look forward to hearing how your players dealt with it and how many got killed

[Lt.Khrys Antos]

Well all in all none were killed, some came very...very close. Especially when they boarded the cube, came close to giving their position away. The Grazerite PC engineer was assimilated by the Borg(part of the plot), however, so where the XO and Chief of security.

Nearly 3/4 of the ship were destroyed in the fight against the cube. The cube was damaged and without shields when it emerged. It also concentrated on the Negh'var and Barzan freighters.

The PC's must now repair their ship, with a lack of spare parts(they lost a cargo bay)., a Klingon is now chief of security. The sensors is manned by an ex-Romulan spy.(Don't ask ).
Most of our science staff are Barzan experts in stellar phenomenon.

My character does not have a definite position yet, as the chief engineer survived and he isn't gunning for her job. I'm hoping I become I the XO but you never know.

As for our ship: the Ambassador-class U.S.S.Excalibur refit, is not new and has plenty of old techs. So no tech saving our day anytime, we do have some upgraded systems such as an EMH mark III, but thats it.

So lets hope I get command and that we don't die a death which should have been reserved for the VOY crew... ... ...

[Captain Zymmer]

LOL!

Well good luck man, good luck
