<Begin recording> Captain's Personal Log: The rumors of a missing civilization revolve around a planet known as Rub al' Kali, or RAK as we have begun calling it. It took a while to get the crew assembled for joining the search, although Lt Janos Riggi was energetic in getting the crew ready to go. Given the deserted nature of the planet, the system, and well, even the sector, I have decided to allow our new cadet to come along with the away team. I even managed to interest Dr Braun in visiting the planet. We have a large contingent of interested explorers. Hoping that Lt Shaouli's exposure to logistics and Lt Petalosa's freedom in shuttle organization improves their skills for command.
Captain's personal log, supplemental: Okay, the planet is not desolate. Riggi managed to stumble upon a pyramid, all of four feet tall. Then we were ambushed by Borg. Having fought them off, I think they are considering their options, as they have not renewed their attacks. We caught a flash of light at the end of the battle, possibly the Borg ship's destruction? I am apprehensive as Cromwell has not re-contacted us. Could it be Cromwell that blew up? Maybe both are lost? We may be stranded.
Captain's Log: Engaged Borg. Losses: Ensign Foster. 2LT Cassie "Subatomic Particles" Marshak. Civilian Pilot Darros was injected with nanites, but has not been assimilated...yet. Marine Drop ship currently stuck in a collapse of stone. Shuttle 2 destroyed by Borg Orbital bombardment. Shuttle Three is our only operational shuttle. The weather is picking up, as is the atmospheric magnetic interference, grounding our last shuttle. Borg are advancing on our position again.
Captain's log, supplemental: We have captured a Borg, or she surrendered. Crewman medic Xavier was injected with nanites, but did not assimilate. I really can't say what happened during that combat during the storm. She may be damaged, and obviously still potentially dangerous. There was one borg fighting another, so perhaps they are having internal problems as well. Six of Twelve is wanting to find out why we are willing to resist. This may be an opportunity to find out what is wrong with the borg, show the borg why the DFA can and will continue to resist them successfully.
Captain's Log, Final supplemental: The away teams rode out the storm in caverns under the sand, we awake to find ourselves in a new world. I know not where. I know not when.
