BRIDGE - SCIENCE STATION ONE
Inzjana felt something that in all her years and that was fear! She was confused by it, even repelled by it but could only sit and watch what was unfolding before her between Kimball, Jaeger and even the captain.
The Captain's nerve pinch failed and yet she still did nothing, frozen to the spot.
When Ardyn fired at the Borg and the Phaser had no effect she still did nothng. Alex helped out instead. All her training, all her capabilities, her physical strength as a heavy worlder and yet she still couldn't do anthing but look on in horror. It was though being shot by Johan had taken away all her confidence, even her well cultured control. In short - Inzjana felt helplessly racked with fear.
Inzjana only partly heard the commander and it took her a moment even to register what he had said, "A...Aye, aye Commander," she said as if it was all a bad dream.
Finally registering what the commander had asked of her, she forced herself to ignore the fear and the vision of seeing the Phaser pointed at her, that just wouldn't go away no matter how much she tried to just let the thought pass through her minds eye without judgement and just what it is, a bad thought.
Interestingly enough the sensors still read that there was a Borg Cube in the nebula and a terminus of a Transwarp Conduit, like she had informed the captain of earlier. But Inzjana saw the 'fin' the Commander was talking about as well and they can't both be hallucinating, so she adjusted the parameters of the sensor array and search for biosignitures instead of the usual things to search for other than a life form and was taken aback by what the sensors were telling her was not your standard every day spatial object;
"Aye commander," her voice still shaking along with her hands. "There does seem to be a large space-born biological life form at the centre of the nebula."
"Be advised though commander, that sensors are still reading what appears to be the terminus of a Transwarp Conduit along with a Borg Cube, at least that is what it appears to be according to the LCARS database," taking a breath more to calm herself that actually requiring one at that time, Inzjana added, "the Borg Cube seems to be damaged and is leaking pion particles, although I cannot ascertain the full extent of the damage at present."

Nevir listened, mulling over the information. "Pion particles.... " he said, looking back at the screen.
"We're being fooled! Our computers are reading it as a massive threat to the ship so that we don't try to go after it.... Captain, I think I understand!" he said, bringing up the weapon controls.
"Why would we have weapon controls if the creature can make our ship fire on its own? Why scramble the sensor readings? And why did Kimball suddenly have his Borg implants activate? It doesn't want to take over our ship... just use it to defend itself."
Nevir activated the targeting scanners, which were also advising against the 'Borg cude'... but the other ships were fair game. "Overriding manual control on the other hulls, activating MVA firing sequence..." he said, looking at the current status. "Damn.. Gamma isn't responding to helm controls. And we don't have pilots ther-"
Nevir raised his head with an idea. "Computer, location of Don Adams."
"Mr. Adams is on Deck 13" "Tekin to Adams. You're close to the battle bridge for the hull you're on. I can't automate the helm controls there, so I need a trained pilot. Go to the forward end of the deck and you'll see it. Quickly, we don't have much time."
he said, as they neared their first target.
"Inzjana, while we're in range, try to scramble their targeting sensors... disrupt their systems." he said, watching the screen in front of him.
"Attack Pattern Delta 5, targeting weapons and defense systems." he said, putting in the commands. Once Adams got to the helm, the pattern would display for him to use, ensuring that the ships functioned as one.
The three sections surrounded the first ship, moving in a rotation around it, and all weapons were firing one of two targets on each side of the ship. Their shields were strong, but compared to a Federation vessel they went down after a few volleys. From there, it only took a few shots to disable their weapon systems.
"Direct hit! And we just got engine control back... it's working. Targeting the second ship!" he said, taking the Discovery to disable the second ship.
