A Story by Abishai100

A space-account of a derailed lunar-mission involving contact with a 'leviathan' species called Borg culminating in a 'secret' dream.

A sci-fi misadventure vignette featuring the unusual Borg (Star Trek). Enjoy,

I was on the NASA shuttle Sulaco to the moon for Apollo-19 mission in the summer of 2023 and never anticipated what I'd encounter given that the brunt of the magic of that space-journey was a new-era diplomacy adventure involving an intricately designed new American ship, and that was (supposed-to-be) all!

I consider myself a space-pirate of the skies, and my Sulaco adventure to the lunar surface was going to generate all kinds of fun Facebook-IQ culture/dialogue regarding the quality and nature of outer-space journeys in this new media-broadcast era, and I'd hoped to be likened to some fun Facebook-avatar dialogue for a cinematic chat about Jack Sparrow or something like that!

However, the Sulaco as in for a dark-treat, as we'd encountered a very bizarre-looking metallic computerized cube-vessel of some sort which was glowing internally and simply appeared out of nowhere in space by the moon above the Earth and seemed to perhaps cross-over into our Earth-realm through some portal of some kind, requiring me to somehow 'engage' with it using my communications-equipment on the Sulaco.

I was literally 'beamed' on-board off Sulaco (and into the 'cube') and would start to be 'exposed' to the levels of strangeness of the intelligence alien species on board this bizarre floating vessel above the Earth during the otherwise 'normal' lunar-mission. Nothing was recorded with video-equipment. When I was 'greeted' more-or-less by the strange people or 'cyborg' beings who resembled insect-dragon humanoids with lasers and razors, I was shown their special species-symbol, or insignia, which was some kind of claw-hand bloody-red sign of uniformed sovereign isolationism (non-greeting hand!).

ALIENS: We're the Borg; we're cybernetic; we're the 'leviathan' of the universe; we colonize and suppress or seek exile as isos.

This Borg species was quite the strangers of the universe. They were larger than man-sized, could become invisible with a strange photon-magic 'device' which was used liberally (I'd say!) and were a cross between man-dragons and serpent-machinery. They were quite other-worldly and reproduced autocratically and apparently without smaller-sized developing children but rather with rapidly-grown miniaturized form-pod humanoids/crawlers. In adult-form, the Borg was a more imposing and strange presence, a sign of the universe's non-hospitality moods!

ALIEN: We're the Borg; we seek exile as isos in the Earth-ocean abyss forever without any contact; you must keep this secret!

When I returned to my fair Blue Planet with my rerouted lunar-mission objectives completed and recorded for the standard Western/American media-platforms including CNN/BBC, I was simply relieved to be a man-of-the-grounds! I had a nightmare however that the Borg would send one of its lethal 'insect-dragon demon-hounds' to Earth to terrorize pedestrians, perhaps to 'hint' to me that I'd failed in my mission to remain private/secret about our 'first-contact' which is why I'm relaying this 'time-capsule' account which I shall bury in the ground in my backyard in Chicago alongside my magnet-chess board pieces as only a private diary.
