Val tuned out the commander and focused on Elusive. "This is suppose to be a teaching moment? In what, pissing me off till I can't see straight?" She rubbed ver hands together, trying to squeeze out the negative feeling. "As far as I know, I did everything I was suppose to do. Especially that part where we all dont die."
Then Val shook her head, " I disagree with that last part. Everything she said was personally directed towards me from the beginning. And you can't say that what she said last was not personal. That hurt me. So, was this a lesson in pain too?"

The lastbremark was a slap in Val's face and from the last person who should have knowen better. Then again that was probably the point. "To think i actually wasted time and effort respecting you."
Val heard enough,this was not a dress down, this was a career execution. "I'm invoking Article 31 of the Star Fleet Code of military justice to seej legal counsel. I'm also invokoing my right to remain silent as of now." Her disheartened feelings ended the potintial brawels on thd other decks.
"So, brig or my quarters?" At thus point Val did 1nog give a damn anymore.

Val flinched when the Commander unloaded on her. She even physically stepped away, fearing for her personal safety. Sputtering she said, "What the hell are you talking about? Why would I be a security risk on the bridge?! You were there when we made first contact with the UNITY Beacon. You were also there when we pissed the beacon off. Just like when we were pissing off the Skara for no damn reason!"
Several decks, emotional levels of the crew start elevating. Val anger was rising and she was no longer focused on keeping her psychic ability locked down. "Hey, did anything think to pull me aside while this was going on and speak with me about my interacting with the UNITY. Answer: NO! Oh wait, YOU WERE ON THE BRIDGE TOO. So this must have been a real big surprise since you were standing right there watching it happen. First contact with the UNITY Beacon, nope, didn't see anything. Let's put the science officer in the brig..."
She stopped. She did not like the direction this was going because it made no sense. But let's continue down this road to see where it went. "Did I crack the Skari code, yes, everyone on the damned bridge knew I was doing it, including the captain. When we started trading fire with the Skari ship, I did what I normally do during combat and rendered their systems useless. What I ALWAYS do during combat; that is well documented."
"But forget that, now everyone who was there has a damn problem with it! Hey Varel was contacted by the Dark during that incident; let's blow her out the airlock. You know, just in case!"
Val nerual implant hit the point that the systems alerted Elusive that she was careening out of her happy place. The Pixies in her systems also were probably not be happy that one of the borg implants was feeding on her bio-energy to energize same implant.

"Well,we almost started an extragalatic war with the Skara. They had not been the most receptive to our presence in their space. Understandable in first contact situations, but i think things may have been taken too far. We did wind disabling the ship when the situation became hostile. So far the situation has been pacified because of my connection with unity nanites."

Val thought for a moment. What was the best way to answer that question without complaining about the captain. "Well as far as i understand the Skari have a connection to the UNITY,rather through studying their technology or something else. They very protective of that tech though they still have problems interfacing with it. It might be because they fully biologial while the Unity are cyborgs, or so I speculate." Deep breath. "The Skari seem to have a deeper understanding of thr Unity. They know that thr Pixies recognize me as a director of the Unity systems. Which the pixies asked and I accepted. Thats about all I know for now till new informatiin becomes available" And breath.

"My apologies, but UNITY Pixies suggested they could upgrade me. I'm curious about what they mean by that and want to run a computer simulation allowing them to show me. So to do that I want them to interact with the data directly by interfacing with our systems."

Gathering up all her padds she goes down to the location of the XO. Maybe she just open multiple headings in the same PADD; that worked. She hurries a little faster to see the Commander. "I'm here as requested, ma'am."

"Oh, right." Things to do when dealing with alien technology, make sure you have everyone else in the loop. She tapped her communicator, "Commander Shantel." She waits for the her to respond. "I'm working on a project with the UNITY Pixies and want them to have access to the systems. It would be a controlled project with strict limitations. They seem to have some kind of conversion process and I want to see what that entails. I want them to have access to my medical records so they will know what they are working with." Classic Borg butchery, but Val refrain from speaking that thought aloud. She starts working a mathematical equation while she waits for the Commander to respond.

Val worked in Astrometrics to get the work already down to activate the UNITY outpost activated once again. She made sure to alert the Skara ship of her intentions so everything would be ready when they arrived over the world once again. Finding a race that was protecting the UNITY ruins was a surprise. One she did not anticipate. Sure, she suspected that someone might have lay claim to the world they were seeking, but all scans showed that anything and everything of value had been destroyed in the bombardment. Somehow they made peace with the Skara after the initial first contact. Val wanted to know what the Captain was thinking at the time when they open talks with the Skara. Well, that was in the future, so she focused on the now. Having the UNITY Pixies in her cybernetic systems helped a great deal in getting everything back up and running again.
She still had yet to do a test on the Pixies to see how they worked. No doubt they would probably tell her if she asked and made a note to do so when the opportunity provided itself. First the outpost and learn what secrets it still holds. Perhaps a way to the UNITY world itself, if it still exists. She made another note to ask the Skara themselves if they held such records. Considering that their computer programs contain UNITY base code, the Skara perhaps benefited from UNITY technology as they explored their area of space. No doubt such wonderful discoveries advanced their technology greatly. One reason to respect their protective posture. If it got into the wrong hands, technology like this could be devastating.
It could be corrupted and turned into something like the Borg. What did the Pixies call them; soulless? That sounded about right. A soulless entity traveling space harvesting other lifeforms into their perversion of perfection. The UNITY was not like that. Even their nanites possessed more respect for living beings than the Collective could ever manage. One day she would like to stick to the Collective and show them what a former drone could do without their millions of voices screaming in her head to take away from others.
Perhaps her desire to see the UNITy may have blinded her to the potential dangers of resurrecting the race. She still had little clue what they were like. The Skara seemed to rever or respect them. They had a deeper understanding of their ways than first let on. They are the perfect guides for this exploration. Val hopes they would guide them wisely as they searched.
She stretched and looked at the scan. Making a few corrections, she sent the data forward to the Command Staff with another going to the Skara ship. No reason to not include their guides. Thinking about the Pixies, she summons them forward, "show what kind of design upgrades you have on file for me? Use the medical database with my files for comparison purposes." She glanced up and said, "Sery could you allow them access to the systems?"

USS Sentinal
Lieutenant Val Stingray - Science Officer
Stardate: 7/31/18
:: CODE AUTH: Stingray-Mike Six
:: COMMAND: ENCRYPT LOG
:: COMMAND: LOCAL ONLY LOG, DO NOT TRANSMIT TO STARFLEET
Val opens the Log. The room seems to be filled with floating lights that dart around exploring. It is even more of a fantasy world now with the additional dancing lights. She is sitting at her desk looking off to the side, talking, "They do make for a nice display. Oh don't worry, I'll tell the Captain and everyone I'm keeping them in my head after things calm down." A pony speaks in the background, Val looks conflicted as she strives for an answer. "You remember Varel took an extreme stance when she thought we were consorting with evil." Pause. "Oh right, when 'I' was consorting with evil. You wouldn't do that; you're the perfect pony." More talking and Val sticks her tongue out. Looking at the monitor, she speaks, "So, I have become Director of the UNITY beacon nanites. They seem to need someone to give them assignments, and I'm all too happy to give them all the work they want. Right now we're focusing on opening the outpost on the third planet in the system we're en route to.
"So this personal log is as much a declaration as it is an explanation. I've been thinking about the UNITY a lot since we discovered their work on Slrian IV. They seem to have put a great deal of effort doing the conflict that devastated this galaxy two million years ago. I'd like to know why, though I think helping their fellow being is the most likely of answers. I'm curious about who they were or are if they still exist. I am hoping to the four deities that they survived like the rest in some form of stasis. My reasons are simple, I suppose, I want to believe that there is a good cybernetic race out there besides the Borg. It is simplistic to think of them as something perfect, no doubt they have their problems, but from what I have seen they have done the goddess work out here and seem to have paid a hefty price for it.
"I'd like to know if everything they did for was for noble reasons. Perhaps in learning their reasons for doing what they did I can learn a little more about my state of being. Sadly, I still view myself as incomplete. That is something the Borg take from you when they butcher your body and reanimate the remains with machine parts. Even my telepathy is only a shell of what it used to be. It not harmonious or beautiful before the incident and there are the other reasons but I won't go into that here."Val sighs wistfully as she looks towards the window of her room, out into the black. "I am hoping that the UNITY or something that remains of them can offer me a personal insight of my state of being. I am Val Stingray, science officer. My soul is still mine, but I wonder if my mind and body will ever be mine again.
"I guess I am being silly and probably selfish for wanting to find this race. I suppose no real discovery is done outside the self-inertest of the searcher. There are a few more hours left before the UNITY systems bring life support online. I need to prepare myself for whatever it is we're going to find down there. I don't' want to get my hopes up too high."
Val realizes she has nothing else to say on the matter and ends the log.

Well, I like Pike. Now if Mikey spook dies in the first episode, that will also be good.
