"The Legacy of Queen Beth"
…this is TNN…the Tal’Shiar News Network…with late breaking news from our Romulan Warbird orbiting the Federation’s planet Earth.
We now take you to the bridge of our brave comrades in arms!
Tavroth: Star Dagger, as you are the commander of this vessel I need not remind you of your duty to the Praetor.
Star Dagger: Leave it to the Ministry of Truth…always reminding us of our “duty”.
Tirus: What is the status of the Federation’s war game software “Star Trek Legacy”?
SD: We have locked on to a Federation sub-space signal and are expecting to be able to load the Legacy software into our Warbird’s main computer as we speak.
Tavroth: As Ministry of Truth spokesromulan I have to strongly advise against integrating Legacy with your ship’s main computer. Reports are coming in from out deep cover operatives on Earth stating unequivocally that the Federation software known as Legacy is highly unstable. Listen to just this one Federation report…and I quote: “It’s practically broken in some places, and if that weren’t enough, it’s plagued with other serious issues, as well”.
Tirus: Sounds like the Federation to me.
SD: Wait, wait, what’s that coming toward us on the view screen at such a high rate of speed?
Tirus: Holy Mother of Romulus…it’s a Borg Cube.
SD: Shields Up! Prepare all weapons!
Tirus: Strange…Their Cube seemed to have bumped into our Warbird's shield. I’ve never seen that before….
Cube: We are the Borg. Resistance is futile.
Tavroth: We are picking up strange readings deep within the interior of the Cube. Zounds! They’ve already locked us within the grasp of their insidious tractor beam.
Tirus: Look! There on the view screen! It’s…..
Queen Bethesda: This is Queen Bethesda of the Borg. Lower your shields and prepare to be assimilated. Resistance is futile.
Tavroth: So…the rumors are true. Queen Bethesda is reportedly the new hope for the Borg. She’s a sorceress that one!
Tirus: Cut the audio link…I have an idea. (Tirus quickly consults with others).
SD: It just might work! Tavroth! Quick! Redirect that incoming Federation Star Trek Legacy software signal and bounce it back up the Borg Cube’s tractor beam.
Queen Bethesda: Ha! Fools! Did you think your petty attempt at sending the Federation’s Legacy software would do the Collective any harm? Idiots! We came prepared! The Collective’s Minimum System Requirements more than meet any stated standards by the Federation’s Legacy software! Once again you have failed!
Tirus: Queen Bethesda. I take great pleasure in pointing out that as you continue speaking your discourse seems to be increasingly…well…I believe the Earth phrase is…choppy.
Star Dagger: Well that was a rather abrupt conclusion to our conversation.
Tavroth: Indeed. Did any of you find it strange how Queen Bethesda’s Borg Cube literally broke apart and then a fresh Cube appeared in the middle of the explosion only to break apart and then another Cube appeared in the middle of that before large chunks spun in place like a top twirling at high speed?
Tirus: It must have been some strange space time continuum thing that keeps happening to Starfleet when they are anywhere close to Earth.
Star Dagger: Must be. Well, I believe our mission here is finished. The Borg’s Queen Bethesda has been vanquished and the Federation is still left with that troublesome Legacy software. Tavroth: I concur. It could take the Federation years to untangle that mess.
Star Dagger: Set a course for the Neutral Zone and go to warp. I will be in my ready room.
Tirus: It was a good day for the Romulan Star Empire!

This is S.P.I.N.N. corraspondant Apropos, aboard the Klingon Warship Return of Wuin
We are here live, with a special report about the new insidious virus that has been unleashed by the Federation P'Tak computer programmers.
Upon first impressions, it strikes a cord in the Warrior inside us honorable beings. With the sharp crips images, and the slight gloss, the box is a work of honor to any true hunter.
As warriors and not programmers, we ignored any feeble reccomendations on computer specifications - our computers were more then a match for any feeble terrian inventions.
Sadly, upon initiating the program, we lost communications with the base. We are currently approaching the last known coordinates of the secret asteriod base, and are moving in for a closer look.

the sounds of a scuffle come over the speakers, the words "camera off" are almost audiable amongst other sounds, when suddenly the feed goes dead
