The hole was very big, and looked to be quiet the issue. Likely if the ships shields ever failed, perhaps even a single hit to the hole could destroy the ship.

Had it not been for the ships scanners working, Hale probably would have just cut all communications and opened fire, seeing as they were at war with the gorn. However, because the scanners said they were not in fact gorn, they did not "We have contacted you for...security reasons, this Federation planet has recently been attacked by a powerful race known as the Borg, we are trying to hold down this sector until more allied ships can arrive to secure the sector" he said respectfully

"And how exactly does this relate to us?"Turash asked. "We aren't in your federation either. And if you were attacked I assure you it was not from us."Turash said.

He nodded "Yes, but the Borg have the ability to assimilate people and ships into their collective, meaning they can capture others ship and make them far more powerful than before, then attack others with them"

Turash nodded. "We will be on our guard. Thank you for the warning."Turash said. "Master, do you think we should ask for an escort? This ship isn't made for combat."Jal'rro asked.

Hale listened for a bit, then spoke "if you require escort, then you can wait here, I have friends on the way"

"Do you have a docking bay we might be able to land in? It'll use up less fuel."Turash said.

Hale nodded "Yes we do, on the sides of the saucer section we have docking ports" he said kindly "But if you need to land your ship, there is a bay in the back of the ship"

"Alright, thank you for allowing us to dock."Turash said before cutting off the comm as his ship wnet into the docking bay on the back of the Ataraxia. "Should we wake Nakaj and Garr?"Jal'rro asked. "Yes, I'll wake them up, you wait outside the ship once it lands."Turash said walking off. Once their ship landed, Jal'rro walked out. His odd attire and biology drew some odd looks, particularly due to his mask, which was made from the skull of a beast he'd killed as a child.

Just inside the Ataraxia's sensor range a extremely large energy signature appears for several moments before being replaced with a strange ship signature. The incredible vessel was roughly 1200 meters long judging by it's signature along with a massive energy output, far beyond what even a ship of it's size would require. The vessel's intent was not apparent as it simply held it's position for the time being.

The Ambassador class vessel was only 526 M, so it was just under half the size of the ship. However, the federation had seen bigger ships, namely the Borg cube, which was over 3000 Meters long, and the Voth City Ship, which was roughly 9800 Meters long.

Of course, the Federation ship at first believed the ship that warped in to be borg, Since only one federation ship in existence was bigger than 1200 Meters, and even then it was a slow moving carrier that could not move all that fast.

Hale looked at his science officer, who was scanning. She looked up and sighed "I have never seen anything like it, it is bigger than an Odyssey class, but not quiet as big as a Jupiter class." She said, Hale nodded and looked to his comm officer "Send them a warning message about Borg in the area on all known languages, also try and ask them why they are here" he said and the comm officer nodded, and sent the message

The security team seemed very uneasy about the group that had just landed on the ship, they were clutching their weapons, but they were not aimed at the group. Soon a Klingon oddly came down the turbo lift and he walked over to the group "I am Commander Klaang, I apologize the Captain could not greet you, however a ship has just warped in and the Captain must remain on the bridge to asses the situation"

The unknown ship's reply was odd but swift, the message sent in common text "We are aware of the abominations presence. They will be showed back to the true path through fiery destruction. We apologize for their transgressions." Soon the ship's already large energy output began to increase as the two topside frontal turrets rotated to aim just shy of the Ataraxia, though both barrels pointed upwards in a a non-hostile manner. While a aggressive message, it was also a reasonable one considered the circumstances.

If visually inspected, the upper hull of the ship held the name Nura. Even at a distance it was clear and visible. Upon closer inspection of the ship's energy signature would be highly reminiscent of a Borg vessel's. Together with the received message, the implications where many.

Jal'rro nodded, waiting for his master to exit the ship before opening in conversation, not wanting to possibly offend anyone, something he had issues with due to the violent nature of the Kaleesh. Soon Turash exited the ship. Fallowing after him was an absolutely massive being. Its footsteps were clearly heard, and how the ramp off the ship didn't break under the creature's weight was astounding. Like Turash, this alien had a vague resemblance to the Gorn, though it's crocodile-like hide and dark grey skin definitely pointed out the difference. The creature was known as Nakaj Ima, and was a feared warrior on the battle field, tearing through droids of all classes with ease. After Nakaj came a smaller more human-sized alien. It's skin was grey, with distinct orange markings. It had four arms, and coming from its back was a set of large leathery wings. This creature, a Muu from the same homeworld as the Serwiz which is what Nakaj was, was named Garr 'Eth.

"Greetings."Turash said, greeting the Klingon. My name is Turash Hurrlek, this is Nakaj Ima, Garr 'Eth, and my apprentice, Jal'rro Xugal."Turash said, giving a bow to the Klingon.

Soon the unknown ship would be picking up warp signatures, both borg and federation. The Federation ships would be there in roughly fifteen minutes. The Borg however, would be there in five. The fleet of Borg ships consisted of

Five Probes,

Five spheres,

Three Cubes,

Two Tactical Cubes,

and a Borg Queen ship.

The Federation ships were consisting of thirteen frigate class ships,

five destroyers,

eight cruisers

and one Flagship.

there were only seven remaining Federation ships in the system, it would not be likely that they could hold out against the fleet of ships...but if they could hold the Borg off until reinforcements arrive, they could stop the Borg from building a warp gate in this system.

While many officers and crewmen showed fear on the sight of the beast, the Klingon showed none. He seemed impressed, Klingons showed and knew no fear, they believed that an honorable death in combat was the only way into the afterlife. He looked at the new group of people, then he walked forward a and he then bowed a little and put his fist to his chest "Qapla" he said before looking up "I am Klaang, the Commander of this vessel. The Captain is on the bridge" he said folding his arms

"Qapla? I assume that is some form of greeting, correct?"Garr asked, tilting his head. "Are we going to the bridge to meet with the captain directly?"Turash asked.

Picking up the incoming signatures, all of the Nura's gun batteries turned to prepare for the incoming Borg vessels. Aside from the incoming federation reinforcements, five more energy signatures, one of who's was even larger then that of the Nura, possibly even flagship, would be detected near the Nura. Though it looked as if the incoming vessel's would arrive several minutes after the federation fleet arrived.

Another message came from the Nura, this time a standard voice message. The stern voice sounded like a middle age human woman's "This is the AUS Nura. Do not interfere in our showing of the true path to the abominations. This task is ours alone to partake in."

Hale looked at his com officer, then back at the screen "As kind as the offer is... we must make a stand, but we will stay out of your cannons line of fire." Hale said.

~~~~~

The klingon nodded "It means "success" in my peoples language" he said. He then shook his head "Not at the moment, we are about to go into combat, and regulations prohibit guests or civilians on the bridge or in any key locations during a battle" He said

~~~~

Soon enough, the fleet of borg ships warped into the system. There was a message sent to all the ships in the sector from the Borg Queen "We...are Borg, Resistance is futile" she said as her ship prepared for battle. There was an issue though, the five spheres and probes were not normal borg ships, they were Nanite Spheres a Probes, meaning they could heal the Borg ships that were damaged. Meaning they would have to be taken out first before any real damage could be done to the cubes or Queen.

"Well, we do know how to fight. All four of us are skilled in the force. Nakaj has his own natural bulk and ressilience, along with standard Serwiz combat training. Garr has a few Muu gadgets on the ship made specifically to short out technology, so if you're fighting some sort of droid or cybernetic beings he could certainly do some damage. I have standard Drilt training, which with assistance from the force, can be a very unorthodox fighting style. And Jal'rro has plenty of experience with blasters and rifles."Turash said. "And we each have a lightsaber."Turash added.

"If that is what you wish. Know that there will be dialogs to come after the cleansing about this." With that the comm was cut as the first Borg vessel's appeared. Without hesitation the Nura's cannons open fire on the nearest Borg vessels as they dropped out of warp, a Nanite sphere and two probes, the brilliant green beams lancing out at their enemies. It would not take much thought to see what was being done, attempting to destroy the vessel's before any shields could be brought up.

The two spheres were destroyed, however the beam was slowly doing less damage to the sphere. It was adapting to the weapon, however if they changed their weapon frequency, the Borg would be vulnerable again. The Borg's shields went up and they began firing, mainly targeting the Nura, However the Federation ships began to fire. The Federation seemed to have a very basic plan, dodge enemy fire and considerate all fire on one side of the Borg's shields.

The Klingon cocked an eyebrow "Force? Light Sabers?" he repeated and he looked down at the other crew members, then back at the group "Well...alright you may help in ground combat. But you are still not allowed on the bridge until this is over" he said as he took out his disruptor rifle and he began to run down the halls to the environmental controls. That was normally where the borg beamed in first.

"Jal'rro and I will follow him. If something's wrong it wouldn't hurt to have security here."Nakaj said, before heading off with Jal'rro following behind. "So where are we going?"Nakaj asked.
