==The Cretaceous Period==

The Tkon Sphere emerged in Earth's history roughly 65 million years ago, during a geological period known as the [[Cretaceous Period]]. It was the final geological era in which the dinosaurs ruled the planet. 

Far above the world, the Borg and the [[Federation]] battled for the future of humanity and the dominance of the Quadrant. The partially assimilated [[Tkon Nanosphere]] proved to be tactically superior to the two federation starships, as it's advanced shielding protected it from the vast bulk of their firepower. In addition to the advanced shields, the Borg had integrated a series of Borg Disruptors into the sphere, giving it limited tactical offensive capabilities.

With time rapidly running out, Captain Salid ordered [[Joseph Willowbrook]] to find a means to allow the Rosenante's [[transporter]]s to bypass the [[Tkon]] shields. Willowbrook was able to do so and a small team of three were beamed aboard the Tkon Sphere.
