 The whirring, clicking, and chattering of the unholy creations floating
 through the ship filled several decks as the Imperial probe droids did
 their work.

 Having matched frequencies with the shields and slipped through, the
 droids set to work on the ship's duranium/titanium hull with lasers.  They
 began cutting through docking ports, torpedo bays, one cargo bay, and both
 shuttlebays... and infiltrating the ship.  Soon, there were more than
 three dozen of them aboard.  What were they doing?

 Marines on Deck L3 in the lower DEM swarmed around two that entered the
 Spectre Bay.  One droid took only a single shot from a phaser on stun
 before detonating, sending debris and shrapnel in all directions in a ten
 meter radius.  The blast damaged a Spectre and wounded a Marine.  The
 other droid was harder to kill, but was finally destroyed while attempting
 to *leave* the ship, a tricorder and a phase regulator in its claws...

 Meanwhile, three more droids entered the fore portside torpedo bay through
 the hole that had been blasted in the ship's tough hide by the death-
 explosion of another droid.  Facing these three alone was Lt. Ben Fraser...

 A single probe droid made its way through the corridors on deck 14, near
 the aft cargo bays.  The few maintenance crew in the area gave it a wide
 berth.  "Security to deck 14!" one of them called into his communicator...

 And it was Commander Silver who first looked up and noticed the bright red
 beam of a laser from yet another droid going to work on the transparent
 aluminum dome separating the Bridge from the cold vacuum of space!
