Dexter was in his lab on the orbiting space station known as the Watchtower when the alarms sounded. He stopped work on his latest invention and looked up.

“Computer, what is happening?”

“Sensors have detected multiple Borg vessels along the perimeter.”

“What, how can this be? Nothing should be able to get that close with out prior warning.”

“Unknown, the craft are too far for an accurate scan.”

“I want a full scan when they are in range and keep me updated on any information.” Dexter grabbed as many of his inventions and gadgets as he could and began packing them into a small glowing cube.

Clarice Ferguson, Blink, was sparring in the gym with Shard when the alarm went off. The two of them stopped their exercise and walked out the door.

Thor was meditating when the siren went off. He sighed as he ceased his meditations, grabbed his hammer and walked out the door.

Luminary II was assisting Dr. Raymond Keyes, or Positron, with an expieriment when the alarm sounded. Niether one of them paid  any attention to it and continued working.

James Arthur "Jamie" Madrox, or Multiple Man, was relaxing when the alarm went off. He cursed as the noise and lights startled him and caused him to fall out of his hammock.

Barbra Gordon was on the command deck with Horus and was among the first to see what they were facing as the visual came up on the monitors. There was at least a dozen Borg cubes entering the solar system and they were heading straight towards the watchtower and Earth.

“Horus, activate Watchtower defenses.” ordered Barbra as she opened a channel to Earth. “Earth this is Oracle at the Watchtower. Borg cubes have entered our solar system and will arrive in Earth orbit within a few hours.”

Horus activated the tower’s defenses and charged its weapons. He looked at Barbra as she warned Earth of the impending threat. They both knew the tower’s defenses could not handle that many Borg cubes.

Barbra and Horus watched as the Borg cubes drew steadily closer. The shields had been raised and Barbra opened a communications channel on all frequencies.

“Attention Borg craft you have entered Earth space. Halt your advance and state your purpose.”

“You will be assimilated.” replied the Borg vessels without slowing down. Barbra nodded to Horus, who pressed the button that fired all of the watchtower’s weapons simultaneously. The barrage of weapons fire heavily damaged the cubes in front, but the Borg quickly adapted and the rest were unharmed. The cubes returned fire and the watchtower shields quickly gave way under the assault.

“All hands prepare for invaders.”  said Barbra over the tower’s internal communications. The blue light of several transporter beams began to appear as she spoke. She leapt out of the way; as a Borg shot the console, she had been using moments before.

“Are you okay?” asked Horus. Barbra started to nod, but stopped as she saw where Horus’ gaze was. There was a hole in the leg of her uniform which smoke was rising from.

“I’m fine; it looks like the blast fried my leg supports though. You’ll have to help me walk.” Horus nodded and handed her one of the phasers he had taken from their spot under a console.

“It’s set to randomize beam frequencies. It should keep them on their toes.”

“Good, let’s head to the armory. We’re going to need more than these to fight them; the others should be heading there as well.”
