The Borg have come…
Personal log, Commodore RoBobby McMillan.
If anyone reads this, then please… stay away from the Group Assets office. The Borg have made an appearance there! We were called in by Commodore TimoL McMillan, asking for back-up against the Borg. Why they chose the Group Assets office to show up, I don’t know. Perhaps it had something to do with all the sensitive data Group Assets stores there. Or maybe they just wanted to confuse us. Well, they were successful.
The Borg Queen – Yes, she herself was there! – seemed nice enough, at first. I even hoped that we’d get out of this in one piece… but I knew it wouldn’t be simple. Suddenly, one of the Queen’s Drones assimilated Lt.jg Debbydo. She went from being the enthusiastic young officer, to becoming a Borg Drone.
For some unknown reason, the Queen and her Drone quickly left… but Debby of Borg still remained. Before I could stop her, she assimilated my namesake: Commodore TimoL McMillan.
I’m all that’s left now. They’re coming for me, I can sense it. There’s nowhere to hide. Whoever finds this, give my love to my family. I… AAAAAH!
Hmmm…
I’ve been assimilated before, but back then I wasn’t myself anymore. I was part of a collective. And… what’s this? Plastic? I’ve got a plastic eyepiece? And my white skin is… paint?
Hey… Debs? TimoL? Why are you laughing? Shouldn’t you be assimilated? Is that a camera? What, you tricked me? Wait, is the log still recording?
End log… end log already! Commodore RoBobby McMillan, signing off.

Through the Gate
GFCA Library Log
Commodore RoBobby McMillan reporting.
As I mentioned in a previous report, Starfleet scientists and engineers have been able to unravel some of the mysteries of the Iconian gateway system, and integrated those with our most cutting edge technology. The result was a device they referred to as a Stargate, which was placed in the Aeon region of our headquarters.
I’ve walked by that device time after time, always pondering about going through, but never actually taking the step. I did what any Librarian would do: I first read about the device. It is quite impressive, to say the least. Instantaneous teleportation from one place to another. And because this Stargate is directly linked to the breach in the multiverses, it would be possible to end up anywhere, at any time. The first order of business was to make sure I could go back if I stepped through.
With the help of Lieutenant Ketterley, a way was found to remotely activate any kind of Stargate, to dial, as it’s called, back to our own Stargate. And since tests had proven it was safe to travel through it, I decided to gather a team, consisting of myself, Lt. Ketterley, MCPO Thunderstorm and Ms. Chronic Clawtooth. We then headed out, into the unknown.
Stepping through the puddle created when the Stargate is activated, was a strange feeling indeed. It’s so much different from our own transporters, I can’t really describe it. Suffice it to say, it was quite a ride. When I stepped out on the other end though, I forgot any uncomfortable feelings I had experienced… since it worked. We were on the other side, on a completely new planet. And we were even in a building!
We did a quick survey of the place. There seemed to be a peculiar looking ship – by a race called the ‘wraith’, apparently – as well as a chair that apparently had a neural interface. This place was truly spectacular.
Sadly though, our trip through the Stargate was reconnaissance only. We collected as much information as we could, before deciding we had better return to Galaxy Fleet Command. Using Lt. Ketterley’s invention, we remotely activated the Stargate and stepped through once again.
Personally, I hope this is the first in many exploration missions. I will add a file to the Library about any of such missions that I make. Hopefully they’ll be of use to someone.
