Barstow was knocked out, however, that didn't mean his brain had stopped. He was looking down on himself sitting in the command chair. The ship was just out of space dock and Merlin had gotten a call from Vega Xu to stay away. So, what's a good Captain to do? Apollo ordered maximum warp to the colony. The CO, that is the observer CO, tried in vain to warn of the Borg behavior, screaming but not making a sound. He could hear the voices of the crew echoing like they were in a tin can, his vision hazy as he looked around the Bridge. The scene suddenly changed and he was outside the ship.

The Borg ship was firing it's green orbs and green beams lanced out lighting up Merlins shields as Sav conducted fighter like maneuvers. The red orange beams and cobalt orbs of Merlins weapons lanced out and hit the ship, Scarlet timing each cluster of shots with Tillatix's flying to get the best damage. However, even as the Borgs ship was damaged it would heal. Apollo reached out, trying to stop himself from giving the order he knew was coming. The shields suddenly dropped and he knew why, he had gambled how much damage could be taken while they beamed up survivors from the planet. His gamble failed and as he saw Merlins hull light up green he was suddenly back on the Bridge. The lights dimmed and power conduits blew out all over the ship, causing consoles to explode.

The CO saw himself hit the deck, blood oozing from the back of his head where he'd hit the barrier behind the command deck. All around the Bridge were injuries and he felt a pang of regret knowing that there'd be injuries all over the ship just like these. Then he saw a ship, but he couldn't remember seeing it before he'd been injured...Agamemnon, and the Borg warped away, "what's.....going on," he asked himself, was this still the dream or was he awake.

With all the damage he knew life support was out, he could only guess about other damage, "have to...wake up," he growled to himself, straining to will himself up, "cvan't just...leave the crew....like that...WAKE UP DAMN IT!!!"
