Foley stared at the Captain then down at the unconcious officer on the bed. "I honestly can't say Sir. His body seems to be stuck at a stalemate. He doesn't seem to be getting better or worse and shows no sign of going either way."
He lowered his voice and said quietly to the Captain. " I do not wish to say this Sir but , if things don't improve in the next few hours I may have to up the radiation dosage to put an end to it. We can't keep him here indeffinitly and I do not wish to be on board with a member of the Collective. Death would seen the safer option as much as it pains me to say it."

Valdora lowered his own head away from Logan and whispered back. "If you can't find a way to counteract the nanoprobes I must concur. It seems the Borg made a few upgrades since we saw them last" he replied in a hushed tone and the straightens and speaks aloud "thank you Doctor." Valdora walked back up to his first officer. "You were friends before being assigned here I take it Commander" Valdora said to his number one.

Foley rushed to Jacks side and studied his vitals. "Don't try and move" Foley said gently placing a hand on his chest. "This is good. Very good!"
Tne Dr started calling for all kinds of medical equipment and hypos to be brought over and his dedicated medical team rushed to obey his orders. After five minutes of hypos and other medical treatment . Dr Foley stepped away and turned to the Captain and Commander Logan.
" Miraculously he seems to have fought of the worst Borg infection. He's not out of the woods yet but his chances are now two hundred percent better than they were. As his strength increases I will issue a little more radiation and with any luck erradicate the last of the Borg probes. Hes still weak but he can hear you. So make it quick please Sirs and then leave him to rest."

"I'll be fine doctor don't worry."Jack said trying to move with no luck. He looks around and sees the Captain and the Commander standing over him."Well Sir did we win?" John asked looking at the captain.

"We got the data and starfleet are optomistic they can modifiy their weapons to fight the Borg back. They will launch an offensive within the hour. Good job Lieutenant" Valdora replied and turned to Logan "I will leave this to you Commander. Keep me informed." With that he nodded at them both and turned, stridding across the sickbay "Well done Doctor" he said as he left the bay.

Logan looked at jack and smiled"When the doctor relases you I am expecting you to be back to work the same day." Logan said to Jack chuckling"Well if you'll excuse me i have to get back to my duties. The captain wants the ship operational by the time we hit the starbase. So i'll let you be." Logan said turning and walking out

Captains Log Stardate 88821.2 We all have let out a collective sigh of relief as we have now come home safe and sound into the barn doors of Starbase 135. I can't begin to tell you how proud I am of how my crew handled this latest crisis. Thanks to them, to us, the Federation is saved once more. Today our grand vessel lived up to her legendary name.
I am now headed to the grand hall for the aforementioned ceremony...
"Sergent Major Rosamund Shughart, First Lt Randall Gordon" spoke Admiral Kal Dutton "it is my pleasure to award you these medals of honor for your conduct during the Cadassian skirmish. Thanks to you both Cardassia are still members of the Federation. And for you actions on your recent mission in protecting this entire quadrant from the Borg. Congratulations." The Admiral saluted both and formally pinned the medals to their dress uniforms. Valdora clapped along with the rest of his crew who stood beside him. "And to you all. Crew of the Enterprise. I know that each of you also deserve to be praised" Dutton said to the others. The two Marines bowed, saluted and shook hands with the Admiral, Valdora, Logan and their Major. As the others celebrated with the heroes Valdora stepped aside and out of the hall with Admiral Dutton. "One hell of a job you did Captain. Your crew too" Dutton said as they walked the halls. "It was mostly them but thank you sir" Valdora nodded "any news?" "The data shows they were set to attack Cadassia and Bajor first. Then mow over the rest of quadrant, then the Alpha quadrant and Earth. And if you hadn't have gotten us the information on their defenses they might of succeeded." "So I take it they aren't a problem." "At 17:04 yesterday seven task forces engaged that fleet." "Thats a lot of ships." "And we lost a lot of lives. But we fought them back.....which leads me on to your new orders." "Orders?" Valdora stopped. "Well we understood you may want to take the rest of your shore leave. Then again you might want to get started on doing what your mission is meant to be. Exploring." "Sir?" "Your ship is one of four that has the new slipstream drive installed. We are sending all four out on deep space assignments. Its time to start mapping the rest of galaxy, the alpha quadrant is no longer our bounds. You will be first. Your orders..." he hands Valdora a PADD "is to head in the direction of the Delta Quadrant on this root. On slipstream speed. Of course you will need to slow down every now and them to do some exploring once you pass known space. Its time get back to doing what Starfleet does best Captain." "With pleasure sir" Valdora smiles as he shakes the Admirals hand. "We will lose contact with you after a month or so into your journey. Its dangerous, you will be alone until you can install communication relays." "All the better Admiral. Nothing but pure unexplored space ahead with no com traffic or orders" Valdora chuckled. "Good luck out there Captain" Kal smiled back, shuck the Captain's hand again and walked away.
****
Captain Valdora stepped out onto the Bridge and nodded to his officers, already at their stations. He stepped down onto the command platform and took his place in the Captain's chair. "Prepare for departure. Set course for the Delta quadrant and stand bye slipstream drive. Impulse engines ahead. Take us out."
As the Enterprise cleared the starbase a blue and white vortex began to form around it. At that moment the ship shot forward and was gone into slipstream.
