Startrek: The Next Generation Body Electric



Began Sunday November 5, 2015

Wesley heard psychic screams of terror. He witnessed a black hole swallow surrounding stars. Data's searching for Lol. He put Juliena on his ship and sent her to safety

"Training keeps a warrior sharp." Worf

StarFleet offerered Worf command but he refused. Wesley told the Travelers about the destruction to the universe he had just witnessed--chaos ensued. He saw his mentor and asked whats going on. They tried to stop the machines but couldn't. Wesley's gone to try to take the machines on alone. Q sent him to talk with Picard. Akharin, the Immortal, was being held prisoner by the machines. They wanted to learn how to make a positronic matrix. Akharin agreed to save his daughter. 

Data met with a robotic spider on a planet. The robot mistook him for his father. Wesley interupted a monotonous  staff meeting to his mothers relief. Wesley led the crew of the Enterprise to the Machines.

Picard wanted an armada of ships and StarFleet approved it, but Wesley said it will be to strenuous on him to mask an armada of ships verses one.

"In times of danger and combat, soldiers often fight not for their people or their ship, or even their unit, but for their friends and kin who stand beside them." Worf

Wesley was in a universe where he met duplicates of himself and had to fight them for survival.

The Enterprise made it to the machine's core and found Wesley's ship, they were transporting it aboard. They identified the Machine as an ancestor of V'Ger, a probe that was launched in the mid-twentieth century& went through a wormhole &was reprogrammed by AI to destroy life and collect data. Worf and the away team made first contact with Body-Electric. Body-Electric called carbon units not true life forms. Taurik, the Vulcan security officer on the away mission, got Body-Electric give its current directives and task parameters.

Picard and the crew were going to start to communicate with the machines. Data found Akharin. Data was lead from his cell, but before he promised the Immortal he would save Rea, his daughter. 
The Enterprise needs to find Data to talk to the Machine-Electric Body. LaForge asked Data for help, but he couldn't since he was in the Machine Electric. Wesley offered to save Rene and Beverly but Beverly refused. Data got control of Gatt with Nanites. Rhea was asking Data what was next for them after they escaped. Data wants Rhea to help him raise Lol. Data had a choice to let Rhea live or die, or have Alkerin live or die, he chose Alkerin. Data is back aboard the Enterprise. Picard and the crew are glad he is safe. Data is fixing Gatt and then he let him go, because Gatt wasn't in control of his actions while under the control of the Body Electric.

"In the distant future, the expansion of the universe will separate galaxies and eventually even stars, by such and ever growing distances that for an observer in any given system the rest of the cosmos will look dark and completely empty. Even now there are parts of our universe beyond our view. This limit of the observable universe is the cosmic light horizon." 

"We create to deny the inevitability of our own obliviation."
