Well Met. OK, here's the summary. :) 12Stardate 42999.9: "Second Chance For Glory," Part 3, by Jester. 12SUMMARY: Coronado is forced into a final confrontation with the second Borg cube near Wolf 359. 12The worst fears of the Coronado's crew came true as the ship was forced into a nightmare battle with a second Borg cube threatening Earth at the time of the Federation defeat at the hands of another Borg cube at Wolf 359. 12Both the cube and the Coro were severely damaged in the firefight, and the Coro has pulled back to assess her options. The crew have come up with an extremely risky strategy to destroy the cube -- a strategy with only a single chance at success...

Julie is just out getting some needed instruments for it. [LCARS SOUND] ::nods:: I understand, Lieutenant. Can we somehow use that to delay the full activation of the cube?

[LCARS SOUND] [19:37] Hmm, well as you know, the Borg of this time have not prepared for a human intrusion into thwe Continuum [19:37] +tap+ will do, Dax out.
