CMO's office deck 5>

O'brien: Data is this "thing secured"
Data: Yes I secured the object with a level 5 force field.

O'brien: Ok than N'Vek and I will start testing the object, did you
make
some progress on the explosion in the lab?
Data: Yes, on the station we found the detonator and some romulan
transporter traces.
O'brien: Good. Commander Barlett said she wanted a report on it.
Data: Ok see you later.

N'vek: Here are the first test results. I will try to reconfiger the
spectral sensor array to make a more specific read out of the objects
function.

O'brien: Great idea. I'm not very furmilair with the spectral sensor
array
so could you do the analysis it for me. Oh but first do a radiaton
test. I
have two science officers assinged to you. One of them is a bajoran
ensign
who arrived a week ago as part of a sort of exchange project. He is a
pro in
quantum physics. His name is Dist.
N'vek: Ok sir I'll right on it.

<10 minutes Later>

N'Vek: Sir I am finished with my examination of the alien device. Here
s the
basic specifications.*hands a PADD to O'Brien*

O'Brien: Mr. N'Vek Commander Barlett has asked for a complete report on
how
this anti-assimilation device works. And she wants it in 2 hours. Could
you
fill me in on how the device functions.

N'Vek: Ofcourse sir. First of all when the Borg inject nano-probes into
an
individual's body they head for the blood stream. When in the blood
stream
they attach themselves to the red blood cells. After they do this they
take
over the bloods function as they move onto the more important body
system.
For example they 're-write' the persons nueral pathways. Now this
device is
some sort of nueral stabilizer. It repairs the persons nueral pathways
to
restore it back to normal. Then once they are consious of their
surroundings
and they know who they are; the device injects anti-nano probes into
the
blood stream. The anti-nano probes then attach themselves onto the borg
nano-probes and nulify they're effect on the red blood cells.

O'Brien: Very interesting Mr. N'Vek. As a scientist I want a first hand
look
at this technology. Set up the spectral sensor array and let me get a
look
at this amazing device.

N'Vek: Aye sir.

*N'Vek activates scanner and places the device under it.*

Suddenly the computer sounds a alarmbell.

Computer: Object one has increased in content and weight
N'vek: what's the current weight and content
Computer: 7 ton 3 1/2 cubic metres
N'vek: O'brien you should come and see this the object just became
larger.
Computer where did the mass come from
Computer: A subspace breach near the ship

/\Karplan to N'vek/\
/\N'vek here/\
/\We just had a subspace breach on steerboard. What's happening down
there./\
/\Well 30 seconds ago the object we are observating became larger and
heavier/\
/\Ok please keep me informed/\
/\Ok N'vek out/\

O'Brien: All right N'Vek lets figure this thing out.*brings out a tricorder
and scans the devcie*

N'Vek: Anyhting sir?

O'Brien: I'm detecting the residuals of a tetreon reactor near the ships
hull.

N'Vek: What is a tetreon reactor?
O'Brien: Computer what is a tetreon reactor?

Computer: A tetreon reactor powered the Caretakers transporter array, which
stranded the U.S.S. Voyager in the Delta Quadrant.

N'Vek: Fasinating.

O'Brien: Indeed. The tetrion reactor if destroyed it can rip a whole in
sub-space.

Karplan: =/\= N'Vek O'Brien anything?=/\=

O'Brien: =/\= We have a working theory sir. Give us just a few more
minutes.=/\=

Computer: Micro fractors forming on drive section hull plating.

N'Vek: If the aliens are making wholes in sub-space then why is this thing
growing?

O'Brien: N'Vek scan that sub-space whole quickly.

N'Vek:*runs to a console and begins scanning* I'm detecting some sort of
energy beam inside the whole. It could be a transporter beam sir.

O'Brien: Can we deflect it Mr. N'Vek.

N'vek: Perhapes. If we generate an anti-tacion beam at the whole we could
didtabilize the opening.

O'Brien: Thats good enough for me.=/\= Commander Barlett activate an
anti-tacion beam at the coordinates of the sub space whole.=/\=

Barlett:=/\= Right.=/\=............=/\=Good job you two. The whole is
disapating.=/\=

O'Brien: Hmmm.... We'd better get this thing to a safer place.

N'Vek: There is something I don't get. Why did the aliens give us this
device to study if they were just going to steel it back again?


O'Brien: Hmmm.... Thats a good question N'Vek.
