CrunchTrek - Week 3 - Flash Challenge 1 - The Escape

After purging yourselves of the Borg nanobots with the hyposprays concocted by your Medical Officer, your team formulates a plan to rescue your captured crewmate.

You gather your team and head back into the AD shop, the Borg Nest, to enact the rescue plan. With your tricorders, the team projects images of new and old and new watches, big and small watches, and mirrored copies of watches themselves. You dose the drones with the anitdote as well. The plan seems to have worked as the Borg are scattered and disoriented and no longer view you as a threat. You work your way to the back, where stacks and stacks of crown symbol watches are ready to be shipped out. This is how they plan to infect the populace and turn everyone into a drone. You set one of your phasers to overload which should destroy the watches and any remaining nanobots.

You turn your attention to finding your missing crewman. Walking down a long corridor, you notice a strange glow emanating from under one of the closed doors. Opening the door, you find your crewman, amongst others, in Borg alcoves in a regeneration cycle. On the other side of the room, you find a gateway, the Guardian at the Edge of Forever.

You observe scenes from past, present, and future cycles through the portal. This is your ticket home. You just need to wait for the right scene to show up.

While some of your crew keep an eye on the portal, the rest of you free your crewman from the alcove and inject him with the antidote. He seems disoriented, and the color starts to return to his face. Besides the Borg implants, he seems to be himself.

A few minutes pass and a huge explosion from your overloaded phaser consumes most of the store in a fireball. All those watches, lost. The Borg in the other alcoves awaken and start to target you and your crew. "Resistance is futile. Your biological, technological, and horological distinctiveness will become part of the Collective".

Someone yells "It's time to go". Anywhere is going to be better than fighting off the Borg here.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Your Flash Challenge is a simple one. Find a green door, and step through it. That's it. Everyone must post a photo of yourself stepping through the green door and tag your Captain and First Officer. Captains and First Officers, when your crew has completed this task, you will tag me with the name of your ship, let me know the mission is complete.

Your watch must be visible in the picture. Simple task means shorter amount of time to complete. All pictures must be posted by 5/10 12pm PST (5/10 19:00 UTC). Captains and First Officers, there will be a 2nd Flash Challenge this week. Be warned that you will be tested.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Remember -

All pictures must include a watch or watches.

Time will be kept using UTC and my time zone, PST (Los Angeles time).

THIS WEEK, crew members can post their own photos as they're completed and will tag their Captain or First Officer. The Captain or First Officer will tag me once your full team has completed their pictures.

There will be only 1 winning team at the end. No exceptions.

Q makes all rules, judgments, and final determinations. No exceptions. This is supposed to be fun.
