//That was an interesting experience// thought Obi-Wan. After a hasty explanation of the use of the transporter, the group had mounted the platform and "beamed" down. Now they walked through mountainous and forest terrain to reach the caves.
They'd had to beam down a little ways away because the trees were so close and the ground so unpredictably shaped that it was dangerous to beam down any closer.
"The caves are just over that rise Commander." Kim said as he continued scanning. "Commander, umm, we have a problem. The Borg are just behind us."
"Mr. Kim, Tuvok head on to the caves and see if you can rescue the people. Just get them somewhere where Voyager can lock onto them. Then beam up yourselves and call us."
"But Commander . . ."
"Go NOW! That's an order."
After they were gone Chakotay turned to the Jedi and said "Now here's your chance to defend and protect. And you," he said pointing to Obi-Wan, "If you really do love that woman then don't hesitate to kill her. I know that seems cruel and insensitive, but whatever you loved about her is gone. And even if it's not, even IF you save her - she will never be the same."
Obi-Wan said, "Perhaps you are right, but I have to act according to my views, my focus. Your focus determines your reality. I believe she is there and I WILL save her."
Chakotay just nodded. The group heard the mechanical movements of the approaching Borg.
"Listen Commander," Obi-Wan spoke again as he and Qui-Gon ignited their lightsabers. "When your weapon doesn't work anymore - go help Tuvok and Kim. We can defend the caves."
Chakotay again nodded and drew his phaser. "Good luck."
"May the Force be with you." said Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon as one. They were both totally in tune with the Force, felt the light. They were ready, ready for anything that might occur.
