USS CALHOUN / DELTA ONE STATUS REPORT February 2004 by Adrian Rodd
Stardate 2391.03.29
An alien visitor materialising out of thin air calls upon the Calhoun crew to arbitrate a very special dispute. Upon accepting, the senior officers are whisked away to a secluded room on a cloaked planet, where they meet a Malon Borg drone whose mind is alternating between the Collective and individuality. The crew agree to split into three groups: one to argue in favour of the drone being freed from the Borg, one to argue in favour of his being returned to the Collective, and one to listen to both sides. . . then decide.
During a recess, while the engineers examine a malfunctioning system in the drone, the crew return to Delta One, in time to grant sanctuary to a Kazon woman fleeing a battlecruiser. The cruiser's Maje claims she is a criminal and a bounty hunter, and refuses to break off pursuit. Lieutenant-Commander Callahan pilots the Calhoun into position between the two Kazon ships, then retaliates as the cruiser fires. Incredibly, the battle ship explodes. . .
