Working Outline for Steampunk Borg

Timeline
(Working Outline)

1885: 

• Thomas Edison begins designs on making a Ghost Detector.

1890:

• Mad Scientist in San Francisco modifies design and creates a more powerful ghost detector". Mad Scientist begins taking readings. 

1892:

• He gets nothing that he can make sense of until he starts getting signals when transdimensional aliens begin stealing life energy from the indigent lower class of 1892 San Francisco.

1893 - (ST:TNG - Time's Arrow)

• Following the events of the Enterprise-D's intervention, these readings change. Mad Scientist continues to tinker with device.
• As portal closes, the healing rip in the space-time continuum becomes a beacon. The head and spine of Borg Queen (the remainder of technology remaining at the end of Star Trek: First Contact) appears in the sewers of San Francisco, drawn by residual energy from the time distortions. Absorbing the remaining temporal disruptive radiation, mechanical tendrils begin to slowly grow.

1895

• Mad Scientist further refines his device.  He is finally able see a pattern of concentrations of electromagnetic radiation emanating throughout San Francisco. He investigates to find strange steam powered electro-gyroscopes and mechanisms connected by copper wiring stretching throughout the city sewers.

1898:

• Mad Scientist ghost detector picks up the barely-functioning Borg Queen's head's unusual radiation signature, thinking it is like the signals he had been received.  

• Mad Scientist builds body for Borg Queen. 
• Borg Queen uses nanotech and surrounding technology to begin making steampunk drone army.
• Borg start taking over San Francisco

1904:

• The steamborg collective has slowly been growing and expanding. They have been taking over people and building and protecting the nodes around city spreading through sewer.
• Nodes become gigantic steam powered analytic engine.
• The steamborg have been trying to calculate frequency needed for creation of two-way trans-dimensional portal to draw the 24th century Borg to the Earth in the early 20th century.

1906:

• Ada Lovelace (age 83...she had been in hiding since faking her death in 1852) Samuel Clemens, Jack London and Guinan use Tesla Earthquake machine to destroy SteamBorgs resulting in...
• San Francisco Earthquake and Fire
