Season Five

Note: Read the BorgSpace stories in whatever order you like, but the chronological placement of Season 5 will make greater sense if you read the book "Dark Rising" first

The More Things Change...
Resurrected into the future by five centuries, one would think the sub-collective of Cube #347 would be able to start anew. Wrong. The sub-collective's first assignment in this brave, new world is to courier spare parts to a stalled cube.

Technicolor
The Colored Borg introduced in Star Traks: Boldly Gone... make the first of several appearances this BorgSpace season. Cube #347 has been sent to a Starfleet-sponsored Color conference to find out why the Second Federation and the Colors have cooked up. However, Puce is not Second's favorite color.

Door to Door
Ever had an annoying salesman at your door or on your phone? Well, when that solicitor is the Borg, it can be awfully hard to say no. Watch out for the Wonderbutt(tm)!

Total Recall
Is it a hex that is causing the drones of Cube #347 to hallucinate? Or is it a defective lot of neural transceivers?

Just Passing Through
Star whales are big animals. Very big animals. And when Cube #347 is swallowed by one, well, all things come out in the end.

High Roller
"Enter and have fun, but remember the House always wins." In this case, the House in question is a Green Borg casino; and the sub-collective has accidentally lost Cube #347 to the spin of a wheel. Will Captain be able to win the ship back? Or will he lose the sub-collective as well to the House?

Feng Shui
When on a routine trek along a passage through a dark matter nebula, Cube #347 is caught by a net. The only escape is through the power of feng shui. Wax on. Wax off.

Old Dog, New Tricks - Part I
It has been five hundred years, but Luplup is still alive! Fancy that! Also fancy that she still harbors thoughts of revenge against the Collective, and more specifically, Captain.

Old Dog, New Tricks - Part II
With yellow button primed, Luplup is poised to take over as QUEEN. Can Captain resist? Or will he be delegated as pet in the new vyst empire?

The Cows of Shangrila
Do you think of cows as placid creatures chewing cud in the middle of a field, waiting to be tipped over? Well, think again as 21 of 39, a founder Ministry of Universal Unitarianism, Togetherness, and Infinite Cows learns otherwise.

Deus ex Machina - Part I
Thought Xenig were overpowered enough as is? Well, Cube #347 is about to find out what happens when a member of mech species #3 accidentally receives a bit of Criticish omnipotence.

Deus ex Machina - Part II
Hek has decided that that Cube #347 is the key to the Proginators, and has brought the sub-collective before the Transcendence Board to present his case. The sub-collective really doesn't want to be there. Meanwhile, another Critic loses its powers. Oops.

Deus ex Machina - Part III
In this final installment, Cube #347 is the unlucky rope in a tug-of-war between two omniscient beings, neither of whom are willing to accept defeat. Hopefully the contestants won't pull too hard...

First Person Plural
Featuring the only Borg band in existance - First Person Plural - as Cube #347 attends the 19th annual Battle of the Bands. Too bad the group can't play.

Area 52
Believed dead, Doctor has been salvaged by humanoids with octopi for heads. The researchers who actually get the not-quite dead corpse, however, are not the best of the best.

Cat Burglar
Many items are disappearing mysteriously from Cube #347, but the culprit does not appear to be located within the sub-collective. Who has the gall to steal from the Borg? Also introducing Wild Wally's World of Wacky Widgets.

Requim for a Borg
Weapons is dead of a plasma explosion. Sad, maybe, but no one is mourning. However, will the afterlife keep Weapons?

Reclamation
The Purple Borg - militant environmentalists - have control of a colony planet the Collective has been eyeing: there is information on the planet that the Greater Consciousness needs. Too bad when opportunity knocks that the closest sub-collective to take advantage of the situation is that of Cube #347.

Exchange
The Collective has come up with the idea that it would be a good thing to shove its two imperfect sub-collective (Cube #347 and Cube #248) together. However, first tests need to be conducted to see if it is feasible. Enter 67 of 400 from Lugger-class Cube #248. Also enter a talking, insane singularity torpedo.

End Game
The Season 5 season finale! In the "real" world, Cube #347 is being stalked by a coalition of four Colors and the Second Federation. However, in the universe of Boards, hallways, Directors, and Critics, an Editor has just rolled the infinity die.
