    I think, Sidi tried to turn Luke to the dark side again: Use the dark side and you will be free or you will die.

    Great post, and I agree, I think Luke just made the Borg Queen's hit list. Even if the collective is suppressed, she'd still be out there to rebuild it. And great stuff with Palps, glad that Luke survived yet another temptation to the Dark Side.

    ?Well, sir. Would you say we?re simply screwed, or royally screwed??

    *can't help laughing, even though it's not a funny situation... :D *



    "So, the mighty Skywalker has fallen. How pathetic."

    Wow. I've never been so grateful to albino-prune-face since he sent Mara after Luke... ;) [face_mischief] :p



    "Together, the Borg are impossible to influence. But now,? he smirked, ?they?ve let me into the Collective. And now, I can influence each mind at once.? He concentrated everything on one message, one thought to be sent out among the Borg Collective. Individuality.

    Mua-ha-ha-haaaaa!!!! [/evil, maniacal laughter] [face_devil] :D [face_dancing] Go Luke! [face_peace]



    Grand Admiral Pellaeon shouted above the noise. ?Commence ramming speed!?

    ACK! Don't do it! Just wait a minute!!! :_|



    He leaned over and spoke into the command pit. ?Get me?? He paused. ?Wait, who the hell am I going to talk to??

    Poor Gilad. He's had a rough day. And at his age, too! ^_^;;; Just ask for "Bob". There's always a "Bob"! :p



    Mara lay on the deck of the ventral gun turret, a smile crossing her face. ?I knew you could do it, love.?

    *siiiiiiiigh!* [face_love] [:D] [face_love] [:D] [face_love] [:D] [face_love] [:D] [face_love] As if it isn't obvious, this was my favorite part! *beams* ^_^


    Whoo! Am I ever relieved! *wipes sweat off of brow* Well... up!

    ZebulaNebula-But of course! And most of the Collective will be gone, but not all of it. Remember my theory. And sorry, but I couldn't fit in Fey'lya there.

    Darth_Book_Worm-Well, he did have some implants. And I figure Palpatine would try something. And the Borg Queen... Heh. She'll be showing up.

    Thrawn McEwok-Ah, thank you? Oh, that's right. You already knew what was roughly going to happen.

    Jedi_Rose-Well, two things with Palps. First, his ego. If Luke can turn Anakin from the Dark Side and defeat him, how can some mere Force-less cyborgs defeat the all-powerful Skywalker? And, as others have stated, he was going for one last chance at Sithifying Luke.

    RedGold-Indeed he does. And thank you.

    Barbarossa_Rotbart-Partially that.

    Shadowknight1-He sorta did. All will eventually be explained.

    Jaded_Girl-Heh. Thank you. And maybe there is a Bob there.

    This fic is nearing its end...again. I don't think I have enough for a third part. If anyone has any suggestions, or just wants me to end it, please let me know.

    Also, I'd like to give out a reading suggestion. My good friend Sebulba2179 has a fic called The Power Play Trilogy. I think it's an awesome story, and you folks should go and check it out.

    Here we go!

    *****
    Chapter Four: Healing
    Captain?s log, Stardate 58200.0. The Borg offensive against the Alpha and Beta Quadrants and the one against the New Republic and the Imperial Remnant has disintegrated-along with the vast majority of the hive mind.

    Starfleet and the Klingon Defense Force took relatively minor casualties, but the Romulan Star Empire might never be the same. And Corellia will take years to be rebuilt.

    Still, there is good news. The Enterprise has been assigned to bring Federation president Nan Bacco to Hapes Prime for an interstellar summit. It also allows us to attend Jedi Knights Jacen and Tenel Ka?s wedding.


    Picard shut down his log recorder and rubbed his forehead. Finally, he felt at peace with himself and the Borg. The door chime started him out of his reverie. ?Come.? He said. The door slid open, revealing Luke and Mara. ?Can we come in?? She asked. Picard smiled and motioned to the chairs in front of his desk. ?Be my guest. Luke, how are you?? The Jedi Master shrugged. ?I now know why you hate them so, Jean-Luc.? Mara nodded, her green eyes locked on Picard?s desk. ?I have this mental link with Luke. And when he was assimilated?? she trailed off and gulped before continuing, ?it was like feeling a void open up in my skull.?

    The captain sighed and nodded. ?Luke, when you were connected, did you receive any information on how the Borg were able to reach your dimension?? Luke?s blue eyes turned to chips of ice as he thought back to the eternal minutes of being assimilated. ?They learned fairly quickly of the gateway between our dimensions and found a hole in the space/time continuum. From there, it was easy to replicate the Enterprise?s warp signature and create their own gateway near their homeworld.? He paused and searched his memory. ?There was an? urgency about the whole invasion, as if the Collective was impatient about the invasion.? Picard held up his hand. ??Impatient?? That doesn?t sound like the Collective.? Luke sighed. ?I can?t explain it any better, Jean-Luc. I also don?t think my message reached the core of the hive mind.? The captain?s brow furrowed. He rose, walked over to the replicator and spoke. ?Tea, earl gray, hot.? Mara spoke up. ?Can we have two hot chocolates too?? Picard nodded and turned back. ?And two hot chocolates.? A tray with three steaming cups materialized in the little hole in the wall, but before Picard could grab it, the tray floated up and over to the desk. ?Thanks, Johnny.? Mara said, picking up a cup and taking a sip.

    Picard rolled his eyes and walked back. ?Any estimates on Corellia relief efforts?? He asked. Luke and Mara exchanged a glance. ?Well, a lot of people died during the invasion, and the environment?s a wreck.? He

    Nice timing. I Just finished watching ST:FC when you posted. This just occurred to me: why didn't the Strike Team have slugthrowers? I don't think the Borg can adapt to a Dirty Harry or an AK. I like the resolution here: hopeful but not Pollyanna-ish. I think the Borg Queen may have a new worst enemy.

    *****
    Hapes Prime, main conference chamber of the Fountain Palace
    Ambassador Formbi of the Chiss Ascendancy adjusted his lapel and scratched at the scar tissue just above his right eye. He was a drone aboard a cube that was assaulting Bastion when the link to the Collective was severed. He immediately took command and negotiated the surrender. His blood-red eyes were actually bloodshot from lack of sleep, and nightmares came whenever his eyes did close.

    He walked through a set of doors, his bodyguard trailing behind. He gulped as he saw everyone else there, ready to begin. Federation President Nan Bacco looked up and half-smiled. ?It?s good to see you, Ambassador Formbi. Are you well?? The Chiss let out a sigh of relief. ?I?m fine, Madam President.? He took a seat next to Martok, while his bodyguard took up position next to a Klingon bekk. The Chiss exchanged a cold glance with the Klingon, but both remained silent.

    Formbi glanced around the conference table, still amazed that so many heads of state were here. Besides Bacco and Martok, Consular Tomalak, New Republic Chief of State Triebakk of Kashyyyk, Grand Nagus Rom of the Ferengi Trade Alliance and Grand Admiral Pellaeon of the Imperial Remnant. And at a throne-like chair, Queen Mother Teneniel Djo of the Hapes Consortium sat. Bacco cleared her throat. ?Well, where were we? Oh, yeah.? She looked over at Tomalak. ?The Romulan population is now genetically stable again, correct?? Tomalak nodded. ?That?s correct. Unfortunately, the rest of the government was killed when the Borg firebombed the capital city.? Martok reached over and punched the grim consular. ?I believe you?ll make a fine praetor, Tomalak.? He said. The one-eyed Klingon then chuckled. ?You?re certainly a lot better than the last one.?

    Bacco cleared her throat. ?Tomalak, the Federation stands ready to assist you in rebuilding.? Tomalak?s mouth dropped open. ?You would help a former enemy?? He asked. Bacco?s shoulders slumped a bit. ?Chancellor Martok, kindly remind Tomalak of the Praxis incident in 2293.? Tomalak held up his hand. ?I get it, Madam President.? Bacco then looked over at Triebakk. ?We can also assist you in reclaiming the Corellian System and those outposts in Wild Space.? Triebakk nodded. The huge Wookiee then growled and waved his gangly arms about a bit. [Thank you, President Bacco. The aid of the Federation will be most helpful, although the Empire might need it more.] Triebakk then glanced down at the Starfleet-issue combadge clipped to his fur. [You know, I really like these things more than protocol droids.] Bacco smiled at that. ?Thank Hoshi Sato for the universal translator, sir.? She then looked over at Pellaeon. ?So, Gilad. Need some help??

    Pellaeon cleared his throat and locked eyes with her. ?It would be most appreciated, madam. Both Bastion and Yaga Minor took heavy damage in the Borg offensive.? He glanced over at Formbi. ?What of you, old friend?? Formbi shook his head. ?We suffered almost total assimilation, Gilad. I must report back to my superiors and figure out what precisely we need.? Teneniel Djo nodded, then checked her wristwatch. ?Well, I think we got some good things done today.? She rose and stretched a bit. ?I hope everyone picked out a wedding present for the happy couple tomorrow.? Tomalak looked up at her. ?Present? Wedding?? The Queen Mother arched a eyebrow at him. ?You were all invited to Jacen Solo and my daughter?s wedding, Consular Tomalak. I do hope you?ll attend.? And with that, she left.

    Tomalak glanced around the table, confusion on his face. ?Anyone know the location of the nearest gift shop??

    That was priceless, Tomalek wondering why the Federation would help a former enemy. I was surprised not to see Odo there, representing the Dominion, nor someone from Cardassia. Ow, Formbi's having flashbacks. Not fun. I hope someone gives Jacen and Tenel Ka a ship. Not that Rock Dragon wasn't sweet, but I'd like to see them in an old B'rel-class Bird of Prey or such.

    A bird-of-prey? Please, give them a Delta Flyer and paint "Just Married" on the back of it. :p

    I don't think there is much of a Dominion to be represented. Or perhaps, the reason they aren't there...is because they're also dealing with a Borg offensive! :eek: Okay, just a theory, but who can be sure, those Borg are pesky creatures. lol

    Great update, loved the comment about liking the combadge more than the protocol droid, and Tomalak's confusion about wedding gifts. :p

    I can imagine that the recovery will take quite away considering what happened in both universes. I?m kind of glad that Luke?s message didn?t reach the entirety of the Borg collective; that means that they can come back. I?m concerned about the ?urgency? that Luke picked-up from the Collective; the Borg not having their usual patience does not strike me as good.

    Various beings from who knows how many Federation and New Republic worlds at a wedding? Either everything will run relatively-smoothly or chaos itself will break loose. The wedding gifts alone should be pretty interesting.

    ZebulaNebula-Why, thank you. And well, in the novels, the Dominion basically took the stance of 'leave us alone and we'll leave you alone'. Apparently, there were several rebellions after tlosing the war. And then... the Great Link broke up. Or something like that.

    Thrawn-Maybe, maybe not. And yeah, AU!Jaina will make an appearance. After all, she's the Borg Queen! [face_shhh];)O:)

    RedGold-Thank you.

    Shadowknight1-Dude, that is so cool! Can I use that? And hey, I find the combadges to be better than protocol droids. Smaller and less annoying.

    Darth_Book_Worm-It will. And the urgency will be explained. And yeah, I saw no reason to exterminate the whole hive mind. Why waste story possibilites?


    Yesterday, James Doohan(Scotty of the original series) died at age 85. He shall be missed.

    Also, yesterday was the anniversary of Apollo 11. 'We came in peace, for all mankind.'

    The next day
    Captain Picard looked himself over in the mirror, tugged down on the front of his dress uniform and sighed. ?I hate these things.? He said. Picard wiped his brow before stepping out of his quarters and into the hallway. He glanced to his right and saw both Commander Data and Lieutenant Lusa walking around a corner. He sped up a bit and called out to them. ?Commander, Lieutenant!? he half-shouted. The Soong-type android and the Chironian both stopped and turned their heads to him. Lusa immediately tensed up a bit. ?Captain, sir! We were just?just?? Picard held up his hand and smiled. ?It?s all right, Lieutenant. What were you two talking about??

    Lusa exchanged a glance with Data and pawed the ground. Her face took on a stricken look, and she cast her brown eyes to the deck plating. ?Sir, I love Starfleet. I?ve never really fit in anywhere until I went to Betazed and graduated.? Picard?s mouth turned upward, ?but.? Lusa?s head shot up. ?Sir, do they deliberately design these dress uniforms to look as bad as possible?? She tugged at the white V-neck jacket and shifted a bit. ?It looks like a servant?s uniform.?

    Picard?s gallic eyes narrowed. ?Lieutenant, for the record, the dress uniform was designed by Starfleet Logistics and does its job.? He stepped forward and whispered at her. ?And off the record, I agree fully with you.? he motioned to the hallway. ?Now, then. I believe we?ve got a wedding to attend??

    Five minutes later, the trio materialized in a waiting area of the Fountain Palace. Picard took a step forward, looked around and then sighed. The captain then stopped a servant. ?Ah, excuse me. Do you know the way to the Djo/Solo wedding?? The servant pointed and fired off a rapid series of directions. Picard nodded, turned to Data and asked. ?Did you get that, Commander?? The android nodded, ?aye, sir,? and started walking off in a direction, Lusa and Picard following after him.

    Jacen stood at the altar of the Fountain Palace?s Auditorium, clenching and unclenching his fists. His best man Zekk placed a hand on his shoulder, leaned in and whispered. ?Nervous?? Jacen loosened his collar a bit. ?No, I naturally sweat five gallons a minute.? He looked over and saw Zekk staring across the aisle to the bridesmaids-or more specifically, the maid of honor. ?Zekk, what are your intentions to my sister?? Jacen asked, his voice a bit thick.

    Zekk tilted his head a bit. ?Well, I was hoping to marry her and have children with her someday.? The groom nodded. ?Oh, okay. Just making sure.? He looked out at the sea of people and sighed. ?Did Mom and Teneniel have to invite the entire New Republic, Federation and Klingon Empire?? Before Zekk could respond, the organist started up the Wedding March. Everyone stood and looked as the doors opened, allowing Princess Tenel Ka to enter. Isolder was on her arm and escorted his daughter down the aisle to her soul mate.

    When she reached Jacen, she noticed him staring at her. ?Jacen, are you all right?? She asked. The princess then touched his mind and read his tho

    Scotty smiled and nodded. â??It would be an honor, Han.â?? And with that, the former smuggler left the bridge of the Constitution-class Enterprise. Scotty turned back, poured himself another shot of whiskey and toasted his dear friends one more time before returning to the present.

    Jaded_Girl-Welcome back. I hope you had fun. The impatience isn't good. Well, if I do a sequel. And yeah, Formbi got assimilated. All the Chiss did, silly. And yeah, I was going for cute there.

    After this post, there's only a few more. I still don't know if I'll do a sequel to this. Mostly because I don't know what it should be about.

    Here we go!

    Wes Janson, Tycho Celchu, Hobbie Klivian and Wedge Antilles milled about, drinks in hand and mischief on their minds. Wes looked around and smirked. ?Gentlemen, we are in heaven.? Tycho and Wedge simultaneously rolled their eyes and slumped their shoulders. ?Wes, grow up.? Wedge said. Tycho nodded as a statuesque blond walked up to him. ?If you?ll excuse me, gentlemen.? He said as he took the arm of his loving wife. Wes shook his head and looked over to the buffet table. Luke was standing there and looked to be chatting with one of the servants. ?Hey, Luke. Can you get the waiter to bring me a drink?? The two turned around and Wes just about lost it.

    Captain Picard looked over his dress uniform and sighed. ?I hate this thing, I really do.? Luke patted him on the shoulder. ?Don?t worry what Wes thinks, Jean-Luc. He?s just a kid at heart.? Picard nodded, but didn?t feel any better.

    At the bar, a crowd had gathered. Chancellor Martok and Captain Scott were sitting there, a pile of glasses stacked on the mahogany. Martok took a proffered glass, held it up and seemed to examine it with his right eye before drinking the steaming liquid. Scotty smiled, grabbed another glass and smoothly drained it before setting it down. ?A bit tipsy, laddie?? he asked. Martok shook his head and desperately tried to clear his thoughts before responding. ?I? am-am fine.?

    Two seconds later, the Chancellor of the Klingon Empire leaned over and passed out on the bar, knocking over the glasses and sending them to the floor. The crowd turned to Scotty with equal looks of awe and fear on their faces. Scotty simply took another glass of ale, saluted them and drained it in one gulp.

    At the back of the room, three beings stood next to a wall. No one saw them or noticed them, which was a good thing. For if they did, they?d wonder why two of them were there. After all, Ben Kenobi and Jim Kirk were both dead. The third, Q, sighed and leaned against the wall. ?Why the hell did I let you two talk me into this?? he wondered out loud. Jim smirked as a waiter walked by with a tray full of whiskey glasses. The former captain reached up and plucked a glass from the tray. As his hand touched it, the glass and its contents took on a bluish tinge and became translucent.

    Jim motioned to the reception. ?So, let me get this straight. When you were a Jedi-and alive, mind you-you couldn?t fall in love and get married?? Ben sighed and stuck his hands into his robes. ?Attachments were forbidden. They were seen as a path to the Dark Side.? Jim motioned to Tenel Ka and Jacen. The happy couple was dancing in the center of the floor and both looked to be in utter bliss. ?I?ll admit that I?m no expert, but that looks like the Light Side of the Force to me.? Ben nodded, his face drooping in sadness. ?Love denied destroyed my order and plunged the galaxy into darkness. Love of a son for his father saved us all. We were damned fools.?

    Q looked over at Ben. ?It took you this long to figure that out?? Jim growled at the trickster god, but Q waved him off. ?Oh, I?m kidding! The-Oh, no!? Jim and Ben followed Q?s stare and saw a little humanoid in tattered robes. Like the two, he was translucent and

    Cute that was. [/Yoda] Scotty drinking Martok under the table was priceless. A unique tribute. Although Scotty "drinkin' wi' Klingons" is usually trouble. Just look at what he did to twelve of Koloth's crew. Q is cruisin' for a bruisin' with the Continuum for bringin' Yoda to the wedding. Obi-Wan realizing the follies of the Old Order is priceless. I think the Jedi should encourage love. It would ground the Jedi, and also do something about the numbers problem.

    LOL, Scotty beat Martok in a drinking game!!! [face_laugh]

    And I liked the "We were damned fools" line by Obi-Wan, it took him forever to realize that.

    Great post, loved the fact that they were able to grab drinks as they passed by, and Yoda had gotten into some bloodwine. :p

    And I wonder what the surprise is....and why Anakin didn't show. Was he on the "town" with Padme? ;)

    As for a sequel, I wouldn't go there just yet. Not unless you have a good idea of what you're gonna do.

    Striker: :D You do realise you're going to have to do a TOS/Prequel crossover where Jim Kirk does that thing he does with computers and false dogma on the Jedi Order... :p :D
