065 - Roll Call

[bythe_books]

[Filtered from: Borg Queen, Prefect, Morgan, Amber, Elle, Barney]

I need a status update on everybody, ASAP. Don't tell me your location; I don't know how secure this entry is. We need to figure out who's been... turned, and who's still safe.

So just... tell me if you're still you.

Edit: Here's a list of all that we know have been taken. I'll update it as I learn more. It is important to NOT engage with these individuals; don't even try. If you see them, run. Avoid them at all costs.

Borg Queen
Prefect
Morgan Adams
Amber Largo
Elle Bishop
Barney (?)

Possible victims: Nick Naylor, Tobias Hankel, Silhouette

You find out anybody else, tell me.

[OOC: Sam will be updating the filter as he finds out who's a Borg and who's not]

I'm fine. Tobias...shit, where's Tobias?!

[aaand Nick is off, running like a moron to find Tobias.]

[bythe_books]

Check your item! If he's in danger, it should show his status and location.

[lotoftrouble.livejournal.com]

Sam! What in the nine worlds is going on?

[bythe_books]

Something very, very bad. You need to stay locked up; do NOT go out looking for anybody. They're looking for people to... make like them.

[remarkablyblunt]

I'm certainly still myself! And I believe Mr. Campbell is too.

This is really quite the serious situation, isn't it?

[bythe_books]

Good, that's good.

It is, yeah. Last invasion we had, people just sorta... died. Here, it looks like the more of us fall, the greater their numbers get.

[gonnadiesomeday.livejournal.com]

I'd be a lot more me if I hadn't been woken up in the middle of the night by some crazy Star Trek fan working her hardest for the Loser of the Year Award.

[bythe_books]

She's more than a fan. She seems to be the actual Borg Queen.

[ace-hits-daleks.livejournal.com]

Ace - and very human! I think Charlie's OK... I'm giving him something to defend himself with. I don't care. This ain't right!

[bythe_books]

...

What are you giving Charlie, just so we're clear? Because the last time he had a weapon, he shot me in the head with it.

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

If we don't hear from Angel or Janeway again in two hours at the very most, we grab everyone who's still themselves and hole up somewhere.

[gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com]

Still yourself, Jimmy? You're marginally smarter than I thought.

[lilah-lawyer.livejournal.com]

I'm... I'm lost.

Private

[bythe_books]

Where? What level are you on?

[vintagebrit]

Um. Hello. I don't know you, but I'd really rather not turn into some metal zombie thing, so, uh, I'm Mason. And if you've got a gun, or other means of defense, and possibly a nuclear fallout shelter, I would like that very much.

[bythe_books]

I'm Sam, DCI Sam Tyler. And-- er. Sorry, just got the one gun. But those of us who're still armed, we're going to keep you safe, alright?

[fear-conquered.livejournal.com]

[There's a beeping as Janeway activates her communications badge.]

I'm alive and myself.

For now.

Rayne and Angel are with me.

Private

[bythe_books]

I still don't like this plan.

We're going to try to get everybody barricaded in one safe location. You know the Borg, so... Would it be best to try while you guys... head in? Will that distract them long enough?

[hopeless-hacker.livejournal.com]

I'm still here.

I've heard talk about gathering into one place, and that's starting to sound like a better idea by the minute. It makes no sense to stay separated so they can pick us off one by one.

Private

[bythe_books]

I agree. I think we should move while the small team of Security personnel head into... enemy territory.

[young-idealist.livejournal.com]

I'm here.

[bythe_books]

Good.

[toldastory]

I'm still here, i'm still me. I'm with Tosh on gathering someplace defensible.

Private

[bythe_books]

Try for the dining hall. Back when we had the riot, the Inmates picked that location because it's easy to defend-- few exits-- and there's food and... makeshift weapons available. Though I don't think a knife will be much use.

Still, it's our best shot.

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

I have not got much in the way of weapons, right now.

I would coin some idiocy about the pen being mightier than the sword, but given my limited understanding of future technology, I think lasers probably trump both.

[bythe_books]

Just so long as you're safe.

Unfortunately, they do.

[captain-vidal.livejournal.com]

Where is Angel?

[yourunichase]

He's with a few other errant wardens, including mine. Didn't you hear the memo?

[mightymorbid]

I am unharmed.

So tell me these sorts of catastrophes occur between sortings as a way of "getting our feet wet".

[bythe_books]

...

Sorta, yeah.

[yourunichase]

I'm here. What the fuck is happening? How the fuck did they let robot zombies fucking get in power?

[bythe_books]

I wish I knew. We're working on a plan to keep everybody safe, though, so make sure you stay where you are. For now, it's absolutely vital that you do not have any contact with the Borg. They'll try to turn you into one of them if they get the chance.

[crystal-seeker.livejournal.com]

I'm safe, but I haven't heard from my Warden.

[bythe_books]

If we don't hear from her within the hour, I think it's safe to assume the worst. Whatever you do, don't go looking for her.

[accountsettled.livejournal.com]

Still me. Puck's still himself too.

Private

[bythe_books]

Good. Thank God some of Security isn't going on that insane suicide mission.

[pleasesmirk.livejournal.com]

I am still alive.

During riots in my city, if they could not be dealt with immediately, we barricaded our watch houses and headed for the cells. Would this not be a fair plan?

[bythe_books]

We're working on something similar, yeah.

[kingfor-aday.livejournal.com]

I'm here. Elle...isn't. I went to check on her when my item went off the scale of normal and I couldn't physically find her. It says she's...with the Borg Queen.

I have no idea what in the name of God is going on, but I can't help her anymore. I'll do anything I can, anything you want me to.

But add her to the list of whoever's involved/caught up in this. If we have a list.

I'll second finding somewhere safe, or at least somewhere we can protect.

Private

[bythe_books]

I'm keeping one now. I think I'll publicise it, so people know who to look out for.

We'll need you to help coordinate the evacuation to the dining hall-- I think that's the safest-- the only-- place for us to go now.

I'm sorry about Elle.

[roseoftime.livejournal.com]

I'm me.

[bythe_books]

Good. Stay safe.

[hologramatic.livejournal.com]

I'm fine, though I'm not so certain about my inmate. Haven't exactly gotten a postcard from him lately.

ALL SIGNS POINT TO: YES

[bythe_books]

Well, what does your Item say?

[agent-bly.livejournal.com]

Clearly Logan's fine, top-of-the-class as always. And so far, I'm myself too.

[bythe_books]

Right. Keep an eye on that one.

[autistic-genius.livejournal.com]

This is not good.

I'm ok for now, but Sam, this is really, really bad.

Private

[bythe_books]

I know. I never watched too much of Star Trek, but... This-- Do we have any way of stopping them?

[cigarillosnguns.livejournal.com]

I'm unharmed, but I'm not sure about Alpha.

[bythe_books]

What does your item tell you?
