Star Trek: Nexus

"DAMAGE REPORT!" Captain Anzyl Praxas of the USS Nexus, or what was left of it, called out. He was not at his captain's chair but at the helm, or what was left of it. Lusaalli lay on the ground unconscious.

The bridge was dark, only illuminated by sparking and emblazoned consoles and a few flashing emergency lights.

"Shields offline, Hull is at 35%!" Eroga yelled out. She was sitting in engineering, as Keten was also on the ground unconscious. "Our Nanite regenerator is working as hard as it can to keep up, but those kinetic beams are without honor!" she added, purple Klingon blood scarred her face and uniform.

"Auxiliary and engines are offline!" Neil reported from Science. Nolan was called to medical to assist the wounded.

There were only four left on the bridge: Anzyl, Eroga, Neil, and Veirik.

"GOD I LOVE THESE!" Veirik cheered. He was the only happy one on the entire ship. "Weapon batteries at 120%! Our plasmonic leech systems keep draining the borg vessel for everything it's got!" He kept firing the beam arrays at the Borg cube, "Maintaining attack patterns. The only thing keeping our batteries from severely overloading is that we keep using the energy that the Borg keep giving us!" He exclaimed. The man was eerily giddy in such a dire situation.

"120 percent?!" The Captain cried out, "Auxiliary shields and engines are out of energy, but weapons have a surplus of energy…" he pondered for a second, "Bridge to Engineering, is there any way we can transfer the weapon battery to Shields?"

"No, Captain!" Tey'un yelled out in engineering, as he was putting out a fire with a fire extinguisher, "the plasmonic energy is not compatible with the cyclonic shield emitters," he explained, "the best thing we can do is divert the raw plasmonic energy into a 'Matter-Energy converter' system, like a holodeck, replicator, or transporter!"

"Matter-energy converter…?" Stitch thought out loud, an idea lightbulb popping in their brain, "Like a regenerative nanite replicator kind of Matter-energy converter?" they piped up.

Tey'un's eyes lit up, following Stitch's train of thought.

"Stitch to Two of Three," they cried out as they ran to a console, "Can the regenerative nanite replicator convert raw plasmonic energy from the weapon batteries to replicate more and more regenerative nanites?!"

"That should be possible," T calmly replied, busy in a bustling emergency room, "As long as the plasmonic energy is routed directly into the energy supply within the matter converter matrix of the nanite replicator."

"That can be done manually!" Stitch cheered.

Anzyl, overhearing the conversation, chimed in, "I majored in engineering, are you saying that our weapon's Plasmonic Leech would be able to power our Nanite replicator?!"

"Yes, Captain!" Stitch exclaimed, "the more we fire our weapons' plasmonic leech, as it damages and drains our targets, the more power our regenerative nanites will have to heal and fix our hull! In theory."

Nodding in amazement, Anzyl called back, "I never liked theories team, go make it a proof!"

"Aye, aye, Captain!" Stitch yelled back, ducking into a Jeffery's tube with a satchel of tools around their neck.

Stitch rushed through the tubes like, well, an alien whose home planet had underground burrows and tubes just like the ship's internal tubing. As Stitch blitzed through the inner workings of the Nexus, they flipped a switch here, turned a pipe nozzle there, and pressed a console button here, rerouting the plasmonic energy supply into the main Regenerative Nanite Replicator system. All as the ship rocked and rolled from the ongoing battle outside. Stitch kicked open a small tube entrance and leaped into the main Regenerative Nanite Replicator system and control room. The Nanite replicator looked like a small warp core, a thick and tall cylindrical tube filled with millions of blue cooperative Borg nanites, as the nanites were being replicated and dispersed throughout the Nexus hull and ship interior. It was hot to the touch, being taxed and worked like it never had before. Stitch then took a hose, dislodged it from the Jeffries tube, and dashed to the main massive energy supply of the replicator, attaching it to an empty slot and port, and pressed a few buttons, but nothing happened. Stitch then slammed it hard, with a good dose of 'Percussive Maintenance,' and the tube gurgled, and the system rebooted.

"Stitch to Tey'un and the Bridge!" they said, tapping their combadge. "Reroute complete, try it now!"

"Rerouting excess plasmonic energy into the Nanite replicator!" Tey'un called out at a console where a red weapons battery flashed "Critical Overload!" and a line to the Nanite replicator that flashed "Minimal Power." Bright hot plasma energy started flowing through the Nexus's inner workings and flooded into the Regenerative Nanite Replicator's energy-matter converter.

On Tey'un's console, the energy balanced from the weapon's battery into the replicator, filling the replicator's energy to maximum. "It's working!!" He called out.

"Nanite Replicator is at full power, sir!" Eroga cheered as her console glistened with blue nanite energy and fixed itself. "Hull at 45%, 50, 60, 65%!" she cried out in joy.

Anzyl stood up and looked around his bridge as blue nanites repaired bulkheads, put out fires, repaired console screens, and even set his chair back into position. "Did Stitch, Tey'un, and T just save the ship?" Anzyl asked Neil as the lights turned back on.

"Weapon batteries returning to safe levels, sir!" Veirik called out. "And I haven't stopped firing, by the way!"

"Sir! Ship's hull is back at 100%!" Eroga declared, as the bridge sparkled blue, but looked like it just left the shipyard.

"Captain!" Neil called out, not in cheer but in declaration of dread. "Incoming Borg Cube on sensors
