    Hello, Welcome!

    We recently finished our "Wolf in the Fold" Line-by-Line over in the TOS forum!

    After each completed thread, rather than allowing me to become an evil tyrannical dictator and choose for everyone BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA... because that would be bad, we have random.org select our winner and they are handed the keys to to car for the next thread.

    And our winner was: Enterprise1981! Our glorious victor chose "I,Borg" to be our next Line-by-Line challenge!

    For any unfamiliar with our "game," you are asked to post only a single line (defined as one character speaking without interruption by another character) per message. You can post as often as you like, but someone else must post a line in between your posts.

    Our "rule" is that if the episode has a "To Be Continued..." on the end, it is done in a single thread, but if it's just an arc of related episodes, each episode is a separate thread.

    As before, at the conclusion of this thread, I or CoveTom, BlueStuff, Enterprise1981 or the Head of the Orion Syndicate, leandar will run the randomizer to determine who will pick the next episode and get it going.

    And now, adjust your phasers to a new modulation because I think we may see some Borg in this one..

    The Enterprise slows to impulse.

    Captain's Log, Stardate 45854.2: The Enterprise is charting 6 systems that make up the Argolis cluster, an area being considered for colonization.

    DATA: Indeterminate. I am attempting to screen out sensor interference. Readings are still inconclusive, however the moon's atmosphere is capable of supporting life.

    Riker: It could be a distress call.

    Picard nods at Riker. Riker stands.

    Riker: Helm, take us into transport range. Doctor Crusher, meet me in transporter room 2 with a medical away team.

    Riker walks to the aft turbolift, signaling Worf to come with him.

    The Away team walks toward a large portion of ship debris and removes a metal plate from on top of the life signs. It reveals an unconscious Borg drone.

    Riker: Riker to Enterprise.
