Admiral Or-Ca

Till we meet again. Protector out.

*The transmission cut and the Protector began maneuvering away and making their way home.*

An excellent plan. I wish you success in reuniting the liberated drones with their families, and I hope we meet again someday.

I hope so as well. What do you intend to do now?

That would be appreciated.

We did what any ally would do, Commander.

Greetings, General. You acquitted yourselves well in the battle with the Borg.

*Admiral Or-Ca then hailed Yeager.*

*The Protector did the same with its quantum torpedoes and modulating phaser arrays.*

Lock torpedoes and phasers onto the Cube!

"Aye, Admiral!"

*The Protector activated its tractor beam and used it to speed up the tricobalt device fired by Yeager.*

*The Protector continued its barrage of the Cube's tractor beam emitter.*

*The weapons officer then targeted the tractor beam emitter and commenced a barrage of modulated phaser fire.*

*Meanwhile, aboard the Protector, the weapons officer noticed that the Borg had latched onto Yeager and were draining power from it.*

"Admiral, the USS Yeager looks like it is about to fail."

Target the tractor beam emitter with the modulating phaser arrays! Cut Yeager loose!

"Aye, sir" -->

*Protector had also commenced firing on the Cube at Admiral Or-Ca's order.*

*Just then, the lights in the Cube started to flicker. When they were sure that the away team from Yeager was safely aboard, Admiral Or-Ca and the crew of the Protector began targeting the Cube's shield generators with their power drain technology.*

And we will do our part to ensure the threat of the Borg is ended in this quadrant.

*Or-Ca added over the comm link.*

As do I, Commander. Protector out.

*The transmission cut again.*

We will allow you to lead and we will follow.

Ah, I see. Let's be on our way then.

Yes. We are ready to begin whenever you are.

The Ordol-Benar Space Command has approved a joint mission with you and your ship to seek out and fight the Borg.

*Admiral Or-Ca again appeared on Yeager's viewscreen.*

My apologies for the delay, Commander. Discussion with the Space Command became somewhat...heated.

Thirty minutes at the most. We will contact you when we are ready. Protector out.

*The transmission ended.*

Indeed, Commander. We will need only time to obtain authorization from Space Command before we are able to leave with you.

An alliance against the Borg? Hmm...I believe that would be a good idea, Commander. I have long believed that the Ordol-Benar Republic should join the interstellar community. This may be our opportunity to do so.

*He turned off his universal translator and responded in his native language, which was similar to the sounds the young Vorta was making.*

We did launch a probe many millennia ago to search for those like us.

*He reciprocated with his flipper, which unlike Earth cetaceans' flippers had fingers.*

Oh? How could you have heard our language if we have had no direct contact with your Federation before now?

Greetings in the name of the Ordol-Benar Republic.
