1
00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:08,111
It's not as difficult as it looks.
Don't be afraid of the clay.

2
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:10,038
I fear nothing.

3
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:12,310
I mean, don't worry about mistakes.

4
00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:15,398
Whether the image in your mind
is what's taking form,

5
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:19,434
you just let your hands
and the clay do the work.

6
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:22,313
Here.

7
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:28,797
Go ahead. I think the nose
could be a little stronger.

8
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:40,311
Well, that's a start. Keep going.

9
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:54,396
This activity is truly unproductive.

10
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:58,514
The end result has no use. No
necessary task has been accomplished.

11
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:01,678
Time has been expended. Nothing more.

12
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:04,713
That depends on how you look at it,
doesn't it?

13
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:08,151
I find sculpting helps me
unwind, relax.

14
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:12,478
The concept of relaxation
is difficult for me to understand.

15
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:17,674
As a Borg my time was spent on a task.
When complete, I was assigned another.

16
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:21,270
- It was efficient.
- So is this.

17
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:26,474
It helps my own efficiency
to forget about Voyager for a while.

18
00:01:29,320 --> 00:01:33,871
I'd be embarrassed to show Maestro
Leonardo something like this, but...

19
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:38,395
I get a great deal of pleasure
working the clay.

20
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:40,511
And creating something.

21
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:44,349
But why here, in this simulation,
among these archaic objects

22
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:47,120
and this disorganised environment?

23
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:52,952
Frankly, it's refreshing to take myself out
of the 24th Century every now and then.

24
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:59,190
And a little disorganisation... can be
very encouraging to the imagination.

25
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:01,596
You might want to try it sometime.

26
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:05,111
Are you suggesting I create one
of these holodeck programs?

27
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:08,198
You might find it interesting.

28
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:11,039
It's a way of exploring aspects
of yourself,

29
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:14,790
that probably didn't fit
into your life as a Borg.

30
00:02:14,920 --> 00:02:18,709
Imagination, creativity, fantasy.

31
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:22,356
I am uncertain why
these things are necessary.

32
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:26,394
They aren't necessary, Seven.
But they're important of one's life.

33
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:29,319
Because imagination frees the mind,

34
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:35,118
it inspires ideas and solutions and
it can provide a great deal of pleasure.

35
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:40,758
Human progress, the human mind itself
couldn't exist without them.

36
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:46,637
As a child I studied these drawings.
I even built some of these models.

37
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:49,957
Da Vinci was always
a great inspiration to me.

38
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,833
- He was a very busy man.
- Oh, yes.

39
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:56,510
A prolific artist, and a scientist as well.

40
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:00,313
Far, far ahead of his time.

41
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:04,599
That design for example.

42
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:10,556
He conceived of an aeroplane
centuries before one was actually built.

43
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:12,671
Seven?

44
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:21,351
You will be assimilated.
Resistance is futile.

45
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:25,314
Your distinctiveness
will be added to our own.

46
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:27,477
Annika!

47
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:31,479
You will be assimilated.

48
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:35,479
You will be assimilated.

49
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,559
Seven? What is it?

50
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,349
I don't know.

51
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:39,751
It's happened three times now.

52
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:43,032
In different locations,
at different times of the day.

53
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:47,154
I experience a series
of disjointed images in my mind.

54
00:05:47,280 --> 00:05:50,910
Can you be specific?
Were these hallucinations?

55
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:54,476
I don't know. I've never hallucinated.

56
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,558
It's as if I were aboard a Borg vessel...

57
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:01,194
...but I was frightened, I felt fear.

58
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:05,791
Each experience is similar,

59
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:09,436
I'm pursued by the Borg,
they want to assimilate me.

60
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:12,359
I'm running from them and then...

61
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:15,472
and then each time I see a bird.

62
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,797
- A bird?
- Yes. A large, black bird.

63
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:23,232
Flying toward me,
shrieking and attacking me.

64
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:26,671
Your hippocampus is
in a state of agitation.

65
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:29,314
What does that mean?

66
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:32,637
As your human physiology
continues to reassert itself,

67
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:36,435
psychological symptoms are bound
to manifest in variety of ways.

68
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:40,633
Through dreams, hallucinations,
hypnagogic regression.

69
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,320
- Hypnagogic regression?
- Flashbacks.

70
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:46,671
You could be experiencing
post-traumatic stress.

71
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:50,475
Makes sense.
You were assimilated by the Borg.

72
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:54,036
You've gone through
an intense, prolonged trauma.

73
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:57,152
I was not traumatised,
I was raised by the Borg.

74
00:06:57,280 --> 00:07:01,114
I don't see them as threatening.
Why would I experience fear?

75
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:05,711
- I don't know.
- Will I keep having these flashbacks?

76
00:07:05,840 --> 00:07:08,275
I'll need to study
your neural scans further.

77
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:11,358
In the meantime,
your digestive system is functional.

78
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:15,155
Now is a good a time for you to begin
taking solid and liquid nutrients.

79
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:19,672
- Oral consumption is inefficient.
- And unnecessary, for holograms.

80
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:24,795
But your human physiology requires it.
I'll draw up a list of requirements.

81
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:26,911
Take it to Mr Neelix in the mess hall.

82
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:32,114
I hesitate to inflict his cooking on you,
but it will have to do.

83
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:36,950
I do not enjoy this sensation. Something
is happening and I don't know what it is.

84
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:39,674
It's as though I'm being driven somehow.

85
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:41,996
- Chakotay to the Captain.
- Go ahead.

86
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:45,272
- Our guests will be in the briefing room.
- On my way.

87
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:48,950
Representatives of the B'omar.
I'm trying to negotiate passage.

88
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:52,914
But so far they have been difficult.
I'm hoping for a change of heart.

89
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:56,590
I'll stay here and wait
for the doctor's instructions.

90
00:07:56,720 --> 00:08:01,271
I'll help you through this, Seven.
You'll be all right.

91
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:13,754
Have you had a chance
to consider our request?

92
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:16,918
Congratulations,
against our better judgment

93
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:21,398
the B'omar Sovereignty will grant
your passage through our territory.

94
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:25,753
On behalf of my crew, thank you.
It will cut three months off our journey.

95
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:29,430
However, there are stipulations,
guidelines you must adhere to.

96
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:34,191
- You'll have our complete cooperation.
- We expect nothing less.

97
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:39,679
In our space, you will not exceed warp 3
and your weapons will remain off-line.

98
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:44,749
You will avoid unnecessary scans and
you will not conduct surveys of any kind.

99
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:50,193
You will not attempt to explore our space
or communicate with non-military craft.

100
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:54,109
We've also plotted the course
your vessel is to follow.

101
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:08,032
- It'll take us weeks to follow that course.
- If not months.

102
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:10,879
We designed this course
so your ship will avoid

103
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:14,550
our populated systems
and industrial areas.

104
00:09:14,680 --> 00:09:17,513
Deviation is not recommended.

105
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:21,873
There are a total of 17 checkpoints
where your vessel will be inspected.

106
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,071
Chancellor Gauman, if I may interrupt,

107
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:28,080
I appreciate your efforts
in plotting this flight plan,

108
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:33,991
but, if we could, I'd like to negotiate
a course that's a little more... direct.

109
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:42,599
Well, what an unexpected pleasure.

110
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:46,793
Welcome to the mess hall.
Would you like me to show you around?

111
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:50,595
My physiology has reasserted
the need to process solid nutrients.

112
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:54,793
I have a list of dietary requirements.
You will provide them for me.

113
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:56,991
Let's see what we have here -

114
00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:03,435
"250 grams of glycoproteins,
consisting of 53% polypeptides,

115
00:10:03,560 --> 00:10:06,632
and 26% fibrous glycogen."

116
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:08,876
Doesn't sound very appetising.

117
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:13,597
However, a plate of my chadre kab
should satisfy most of these essentials

118
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:17,350
while providing a pleasurable
culinary experience at the same time.

119
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:20,598
- Pleasure is irrelevant.
- I beg to differ.

120
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:24,918
A good meal involves much more than
simply providing the proper nutrients.

121
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:27,190
Why is that?

122
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:33,475
Well, it's just a satisfaction that comes
from eating carefully prepared food.

123
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:35,671
Once you try it, you'll understand.

124
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:40,431
How would you like your chadre kab -
boiled, baked or stir-fried?

125
00:10:40,560 --> 00:10:43,632
- Preparation is...
- Is irrelevant. Maybe not.

126
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:47,993
It's the first time ingesting food
for you for quite a while.

127
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:51,351
We'll go a little easy on your stomach.
Steamed.

128
00:10:56,680 --> 00:11:01,436
This recipe has been
in my family for generations.

129
00:11:01,560 --> 00:11:03,949
It's considered a delicacy
among my people.

130
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:07,232
- You are Talaxian?
- Guilty as charged.

131
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:10,955
- Species 218.
- Well, I suppose so.

132
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:15,995
Your biological and technological
distinctiveness was added to our own.

133
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:20,470
- I hadn't realised that.
- A small freighter with a crew of 39.

134
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:22,591
Taken in the Dalmine Sector.

135
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:24,950
They were easily assimilated.

136
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:28,829
Their dense musculature
made them excellent drones.

137
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:31,918
Well, lucky for you, I guess.

138
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:37,036
Your nutrients.

139
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:42,191
Follow me.

140
00:11:55,560 --> 00:11:58,632
- Please.
- Please what?

141
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:02,071
It's customary to sit while eating.

142
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:16,435
Is something wrong?

143
00:12:16,560 --> 00:12:19,916
I'm unaccustomed to this.
Borg do not sit.

144
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:23,431
Well, this is a day
of firsts then, isn't it?

145
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:28,631
Now...

146
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:31,471
Take a bite.

147
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:35,271
Try that one.

148
00:12:37,560 --> 00:12:40,439
Just kind of... scoop some up.

149
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:45,798
That's the way.
Right into your mouth.

150
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:49,515
Just like the little scout ship
flying into a shuttlebay.

151
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:55,434
Take it out, but keep your mouth closed.
That's right.

152
00:12:57,400 --> 00:12:59,437
Now, chew. Chew, chew, chew.

153
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:04,759
And swallow.

154
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:09,351
Swallow...

155
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:21,398
- Curious sensation.
- You'll get used to it.

156
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:23,511
Have some more.

157
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:42,553
May I bring you something else?
A soothing cup of tea, perhaps?

158
00:13:57,800 --> 00:13:59,996
You will be assimilated.

159
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:03,030
Resistance is futile.

160
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:08,751
Did you see that?

161
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:19,511
What about this course?

162
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:24,032
The nearest populated system
is over three light years away.

163
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:28,279
Definitely not. You would pass directly
through the Agrat-mot Nebula.

164
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:31,631
It's a key resource in our trading
with the Nassordin.

165
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:34,593
- I could chart the Nebula. Avoid...
- No, no.

166
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:38,076
Are your translators malfunctioning?

167
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:42,550
- Captain to the bridge.
- If you'll excuse me.

168
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:48,079
- Report.
- I've received a security alert.

169
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:52,239
Seven of Nine attacked Neelix
and three other crewmen on deck 2.

170
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:57,275
Janeway to Seven of Nine.
Seven, if you can hear me, respond.

171
00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:00,756
- What's her location?
- Deck 6, section 28 alpha.

172
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:03,156
Take a security team.

173
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:07,197
- Captain, what is happening here?
- I wish I knew.

174
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:10,312
Chakotay, seal off deck 6.

175
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:15,030
Seven of Nine.

176
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:36,794
Security to Captain Janeway.
We've just seen Seven of Nine.

177
00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:40,595
Her Borg shields are operational
and have adapted to our phasers.

178
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:45,191
Acknowledged.
Bridge to all security personnel.

179
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:49,837
Configure your weapons to a rotating
modulation but keep them on stun.

180
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:52,554
Borg. You have Borg on your ship?

181
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:55,399
It's not what you think.
She's a member of my crew.

182
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:58,751
We liberated her from the collective,
she's no longer a Borg.

183
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:01,713
- Why does she have Borg shields?
- I don't know.

184
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:12,712
She can cross through security shields.
She's entering the armoury on deck 6.

185
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:22,271
Deck 10.

186
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:26,432
- She's in a turbolift.
- Cut power to the turbo shafts.

187
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:28,597
She's blocking my commands.

188
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:32,634
Tuvok, Seven's headed for deck 10.
Can you get there before she does?

189
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:35,559
I'm moving into position now, Captain.

190
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:38,796
We'll take position here.

191
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:53,674
Lower your weapon and stand down.

192
00:16:57,400 --> 00:16:59,198
Fire!

193
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:09,994
Tuvok to bridge.
We were unsuccessful.

194
00:17:11,120 --> 00:17:15,000
I have wounded.
She's moving toward junction 32 alpha.

195
00:17:15,120 --> 00:17:17,953
- The shuttlebay.
- I'm erecting a force field.

196
00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:21,072
Harry, reroute all available power
to deck 10.

197
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:22,599
Done.

198
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:37,552
She's accessing transporter control.

199
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:47,313
She used a site to site transport.
She's in a shuttlecraft.

200
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:50,114
- Powering engines.
- Seal the launch doors.

201
00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:56,949
- Tractor beam.
- No effect.

202
00:17:57,080 --> 00:18:00,198
She's re-modulated
the shuttle's shield harmonics.

203
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:01,320
Captain?

204
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:04,671
Seven's headed into B'omar space.
She's gone to warp.

205
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:08,156
She's masked the shuttle's ion trail.
I've lost her signal.

206
00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:10,351
She's gone.

207
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:22,716
We'll do everything we can to find her,

208
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:26,231
but we will need to enter B'omar space
to track her effectively.

209
00:18:26,360 --> 00:18:29,113
Let's tally the events, shall we?

210
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:33,837
First you arrive uninvited,
requesting a shortcut through our space,

211
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:39,319
then you release some rogue Borg,
and now you want help to get it back.

212
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:44,196
I apologise for what has happened here,
but we didn't "unleash” anyone.

213
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:47,870
We can resolve this situation quickly
if we work together.

214
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:52,471
Captain Janeway, after what I've
seen here, I question your competence.

215
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:54,989
May I remind you
that you're still on my ship.

216
00:18:55,120 --> 00:18:59,796
And you are only one vessel
among many of ours.

217
00:18:59,920 --> 00:19:03,311
Your Borg will be dealt with
quickly and efficiently.

218
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:05,431
It's being tracked as we speak.

219
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:07,437
Tracked how?

220
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:10,518
Every vessel, every object,

221
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:14,190
every particle of dust
that crosses our borders,

222
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:18,951
is immediately identified and traced
by our perimeter grid.

223
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:21,799
- The Borg will be destroyed.
- Chancellor...

224
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:24,116
There will be no sharing of information.

225
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:28,916
From this point your vessel will maintain
five light years from our borders.

226
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:32,920
Any deviation will be considered
an act of aggression.

227
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:39,990
Commander, escort our guests
to the transporter room.

228
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:50,039
Captain's log, supplemental.

229
00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:54,472
I've assembled a team to analyse
every square metre of the cargo bay.

230
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:58,195
This has essentially been her quarters
for the last two months.

231
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:03,633
I'm determined to find something that
sheds light on Seven of Nine's actions.

232
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:18,595
- You're taking this hard, aren't you?
- What's that supposed to mean?

233
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:26,238
- We had a working relationship.
- Well, what's that supposed to mean?

234
00:20:26,360 --> 00:20:30,991
- It's not what you're thinking.
- What am I thinking, Harry?

235
00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:34,031
Never mind.

236
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:54,229
Take a look at this.

237
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:02,830
- Anything?
- It's a Borg data link.

238
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:06,794
It contains log entries written
in Borg alphanumeric code.

239
00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:10,117
I'm getting good with Borg,
I could translate them.

240
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:12,470
Get on it.

241
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:15,399
We've made quite
an impression on the B'omar.

242
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:18,319
In the last hour they've doubled
the ships on patrol,

243
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:21,558
and increased the sensitivity
of the perimeter grid 36%.

244
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:23,318
So much for diplomacy.

245
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:26,990
The doctor analysed the data
from Seven of Nine's last transport.

246
00:21:27,120 --> 00:21:29,919
He's found something
he wants us to see.

247
00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:32,031
Maybe this was inevitable.

248
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:35,835
Even if she did want to stay,
her Borg nature may have won out.

249
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:38,429
We can remove the implant after implant

250
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:42,269
but maybe at her core
she'll always be part of the collective.

251
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:45,233
No. I won't accept that.

252
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:48,471
Deck 5.

253
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:50,591
She was responding to us.

254
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:53,997
Interacting outside the collective
for the first time.

255
00:21:54,120 --> 00:21:57,511
She was adapting to this environment
and to this crew.

256
00:21:57,640 --> 00:21:59,950
But where is she going?

257
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:02,879
We've scanned space
for a distance of 40 light years.

258
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:06,994
We found no evidence of Borg ships.
She can't be rejoining the collective.

259
00:22:07,120 --> 00:22:11,193
- She might go back to Borg space.
- 10,000 light years? I don't think so, no.

260
00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:16,349
Something else is going on.
We're missing a piece of the puzzle.

261
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:20,838
The B'omar intend to find her,
and if they do she'll probably resist them.

262
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:23,952
One more reason for us to find her first.

263
00:22:28,360 --> 00:22:31,273
- What have you found?
- Something most peculiar.

264
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:35,633
This graphic represents the data
from Seven of Nine's last transport.

265
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:40,311
There's a high concentration of Borg
organelles in the bone and tissue.

266
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:43,990
The dormant nanoprobes in her cells
have reasserted themselves,

267
00:22:44,120 --> 00:22:48,079
taken over blood cell production
and they're growing new Borg implants.

268
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:52,956
13% of the Borg technology I removed
weeks ago, has regenerated in hours.

269
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:56,710
You said the nanoprobes were dormant.
What reactivated them?

270
00:22:56,840 --> 00:23:00,879
I don't know, but I've developed
a way to stop the process.

271
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:05,676
This hypospray contains a vector
that should neutralise the nanoprobes.

272
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:09,191
That means someone needs
to get close enough do it.

273
00:23:14,120 --> 00:23:17,033
- Report.
- We've analysed the perimeter grid.

274
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:20,312
It's sophisticated,
but not without vulnerabilities.

275
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:25,640
It might be possible to penetrate it
by matching our shields to its frequency.

276
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:29,151
The trick is our energy signature.
Voyager is too big to hide.

277
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:32,671
But a shuttlecraft
with the proper shield modulation

278
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:35,474
could drift right through without a peep.

279
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:38,160
Nice work, gentlemen. Proceed.

280
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:43,631
The doctor's genetic resequencer.
Keep her sedated until you get back.

281
00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:49,358
Once you've penetrated the perimeter,
you can't communicate with Voyager.

282
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:53,519
Captain, it is possible that Seven
will adapt to the resequencer.

283
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:55,870
I know.

284
00:23:56,000 --> 00:24:00,437
If it fails and you are unable
to reason with her,

285
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:03,393
you have my authorisation to stop her...

286
00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:06,319
with any force necessary.

287
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:08,431
Understood.

288
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:22,230
Seven of Nine, grid 92 of subjunction 12.

289
00:24:23,120 --> 00:24:25,634
You will be assimilated.

290
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:45,155
Borg drone,
you have committed an infraction

291
00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:47,794
against the B'omar Sovereignty.

292
00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:51,959
Cut power to your engines
and lower your shields.

293
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:54,959
Prepare to be boarded.

294
00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:59,710
You will proceed no further.
We will not...

295
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:12,117
I'm detecting weapon signatures -
Federation and B'omar.

296
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:17,758
Five B'omar vessels are adrift,
heavily damaged. Lifesigns are stable.

297
00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:21,760
I've located Seven's shuttle
2.5 million kilometres away.

298
00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:23,996
Adjust course to intercept.

299
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:34,710
The implants are disrupting
the transporter signal. I can't get a lock.

300
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:38,470
See if you can re-modulate
our transporters to match her shields.

301
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:41,877
- You want to beam in there?
- Yes.

302
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:47,749
I don't think that's such a good idea.
Closed quarters, Borg against Vulcan.

303
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:50,520
No offence,
but you don't stand a chance.

304
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:54,918
It's my hope that the element of surprise
will work in my favour.

305
00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:57,714
Do you have a better idea?

306
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:00,711
Come to think of it, no.

307
00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:07,878
- She's charging weapons.
- Set my coordinates for the aft.

308
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:09,991
- Ready.
- Energise.

309
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:29,635
Come on, Tuvok. Give me a sign.

310
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:41,152
Warning.
Propulsion systems are off-line.

311
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:42,475
Damn!

312
00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:06,391
That's a level five force field,
Lieutenant. I suggest you be more careful.

313
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:09,034
Why have you left Voyager?

314
00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:11,951
I am Borg.

315
00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:15,277
You were Borg, but you're human now.

316
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:17,960
You are part of our crew.

317
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:24,195
For a brief time I was human.

318
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:27,999
But I have come to realise
that I am Borg.

319
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:34,751
- I will always be Borg.
- What prompted this realisation?

320
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:37,872
Every Borg ship is coded
to emit a resonance frequency

321
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:41,152
to guide drones who
separate from the collective.

322
00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:44,033
- A homing beacon.
- Yes.

323
00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:50,353
I am following a signal.
A Borg vessel is waiting for me.

324
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:55,111
We've scanned this entire region
for Borg. There are none.

325
00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:57,231
You're wrong.

326
00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:01,031
They are here.

327
00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:10,472
Vulcan. Species 3259.

328
00:28:11,360 --> 00:28:15,513
Your enlarged neocortex
produces superior analytical abilities.

329
00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:18,917
Your distinctiveness
will be added to our...

330
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:22,231
Seven?

331
00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:28,279
No.

332
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:35,153
I will not assimilate you.

333
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:40,071
Once I return to the collective
you will go back to Voyager

334
00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:43,431
and tell Captain Janeway
what's happened to me.

335
00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:46,835
Thank her for her patience.

336
00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:50,036
For her kindness.

337
00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:52,638
Curious.

338
00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:57,118
Your behaviour demonstrates
affection and sentiment.

339
00:28:57,240 --> 00:29:00,437
Traits of humanity. Hardly Borg.

340
00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:05,994
You've been experiencing hallucinations.

341
00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:08,589
- Flashbacks.
- Yes.

342
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:13,191
Does that usually occur when
a resonance signal is activated?

343
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:15,599
No.

344
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:20,911
Seven of Nine,
grid 92 of subjunction 12.

345
00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:24,513
But I can hear them calling me.

346
00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:30,110
- I'm frightened.
- That's understandable.

347
00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:33,117
Lower the force field.

348
00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:36,596
We can return to Voyager
and find out what's happening to you.

349
00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:41,715
I am your shipmate.
We can return to Voyager together.

350
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:47,478
I must rejoin the collective.

351
00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:54,517
Captain's log, supplemental.

352
00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:57,871
I've been trying to retrace
Seven of Nine's footsteps

353
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:00,116
her actions in the last few days.

354
00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:04,279
But I'm still no closer
to understanding what's happened.

355
00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:13,312
- Captain? Am I disturbing you?
- Not at all, Harry.

356
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:17,115
I've managed to decipher
Seven's log entries.

357
00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:19,951
And?

358
00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:24,836
Nothing indicates she planned to leave.
The entries are pretty unremarkable.

359
00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:29,352
She describes her daily routines,
number of hours spent regenerating...

360
00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:33,917
There were personal log entries,
mostly about the crew's behaviour.

361
00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:36,714
I'm mentioned in quite few of them.

362
00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:40,799
Apparently she finds my behaviour
easy to predict, whatever that means.

363
00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:45,869
Don't take it personally, coming from
Seven that's probably a compliment.

364
00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:50,078
The most recent entries
are kind of strange.

365
00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:54,956
Descriptions of bizarre images,
like a record of her dreams.

366
00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:57,276
- The hallucinations?
- Maybe so.

367
00:30:57,400 --> 00:31:00,153
Sometimes she's in a Borg vessel,
running,

368
00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:04,672
or hiding behind a bulkhead, falling down
a shaft, Borg everywhere chasing her.

369
00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:07,519
- Nightmarish stuff.
- What about this bird?

370
00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:09,631
She mentions it several times.

371
00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:12,593
It flies at her shrieking.
I don't know what it means.

372
00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:17,669
"The feathers are black, wingspan
approximately one and a half metre,

373
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:22,431
"the eyes are yellow and
it has a powerful triangular beak.

374
00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:27,191
"When it looks at me I am paralysed.

375
00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:32,235
"I cannot move. It seems to know me.

376
00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:36,956
"But I don't understand
how that's possible.

377
00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:41,711
"It's merely a bird.
An inferior form of life.

378
00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:46,438
"But the sight of it fills me with fear.”

379
00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:51,914
Sounds like she's describing
a member of the Corvidae family,

380
00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:54,111
like a crow, or...

381
00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:00,480
...Or a raven.

382
00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:06,478
- She's describing a raven.
- Why is that important?

383
00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:09,592
Because now I know what to look for.

384
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:16,198
Chakotay, calibrate our sensors
to scan for any Federation signature

385
00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:18,311
other than our two shuttlecraft.

386
00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:21,637
- Captain?
- Do it. Bring the ship about, Ensign.

387
00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:25,833
- And lay in a course for B'omar space.
- Aye, Captain.

388
00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:40,790
The resonance signal
is coming from the lunar surface.

389
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:46,673
The Borg are waiting for me there.

390
00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:51,237
I don't know why I am frightened.
They are my people.

391
00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:53,795
If you are afraid, then leave this place.

392
00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:58,994
Once I have been reintegrated into
the collective my fears will disappear.

393
00:32:59,960 --> 00:33:02,270
Deactivate the force field.

394
00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:06,951
I will accompany you to the surface.
You don't need to go alone.

395
00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:11,916
You would be assimilated.

396
00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:15,715
I don't believe so. I think the situation
is not what it appears.

397
00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:19,470
- What do you mean? What could it be?
- I am uncertain.

398
00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:23,434
But I am willing to go with you
to the surface to find out.

399
00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:35,675
- Voyager to Paris.
- Paris here, Captain.

400
00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:39,350
Glad to hear your voice.
Tuvok is with Seven of Nine.

401
00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:44,190
I haven't been able to communicate
since he transported to her shuttle.

402
00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:49,190
I've tracked them to an M-Class moon
orbiting the planet of a yellow dwarf star.

403
00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:53,314
I'm picking up an unusual resonance
signal from the surface. It's erratic.

404
00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:57,434
- I haven't been able to identify it.
- Acknowledged.

405
00:33:57,560 --> 00:34:01,155
We've detected several B'omar ships
closing in on your position.

406
00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:05,319
- What's your condition?
- Warp engines off-line, shields at 50%.

407
00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:07,080
Try to locate them, Tom.
We're on our way.

408
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:18,834
- The signal's getting stronger.
- They're here, I'm sure of it.

409
00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:20,951
This way.

410
00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:27,792
If you wish, we can return to the shuttle.

411
00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:32,599
No. I have to find out.

412
00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:46,597
- What is it?
- It's a Federation vessel.

413
00:34:46,720 --> 00:34:50,600
Partially assimilated by the Borg.
There are no lifesigns.

414
00:34:50,720 --> 00:34:55,510
Tritanium decay suggests
it has been here for nearly 20 years.

415
00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:14,069
This vessel is familiar.

416
00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:31,399
This is the signal that's drawn me here.

417
00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:40,794
Annika!

418
00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:44,879
Run, Annika!

419
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:47,196
Run! Hide!

420
00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:57,358
Papa?

421
00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:00,271
Help me.

422
00:36:07,720 --> 00:36:10,599
No! No!

423
00:36:12,240 --> 00:36:16,598
Seven? I'm here. Listen to me!

424
00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:22,558
Come.

425
00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:38,589
It happened here.

426
00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:43,669
This is where it began,
this is where I was assimilated.

427
00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:57,229
This was our ship.

428
00:36:59,160 --> 00:37:01,390
We lived here.

429
00:37:02,520 --> 00:37:05,319
We lived here for a long time.

430
00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:10,591
My father did experiments.

431
00:37:10,720 --> 00:37:14,839
They were very important
and we had to travel a long way.

432
00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:20,909
I had my birthday here.

433
00:37:22,720 --> 00:37:25,872
My cake had six candles on it and...

434
00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:29,714
...and one more to grow on.

435
00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:35,595
And then the men came.

436
00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:41,475
Papa tried to fight them
but they were too strong.

437
00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:44,869
I'm trying to hide.

438
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:49,231
Maybe they wouldn't find me
because I was little.

439
00:37:50,080 --> 00:37:52,071
But they did.

440
00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:57,878
And Papa said
we were going to crash, and...

441
00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:00,276
the big man picked me up...

442
00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:06,600
...and suddenly we weren't on the ship
any more, we were somewhere else.

443
00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:13,589
And then I became Borg.

444
00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:20,274
Fascinating. This signal must have been
active since the ship was assimilated,

445
00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:22,789
and Voyager passed within range.

446
00:38:24,200 --> 00:38:27,318
- The ship is under attack.
- The B'omar.

447
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:31,356
The ship will collapse.
We must get out of here.

448
00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:46,754
- The B'omar aren't responding to hails.
- Standing by to fire.

449
00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:50,271
Target their weapon systems.
Tom, what's your status?

450
00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:52,960
I've located them
but there's interference.

451
00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:55,674
I'm attempting
to lock onto them now, Captain.

452
00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:01,351
This way.

453
00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:20,995
- Are you all right?
- I am undamaged.

454
00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:27,231
- This was the only way to the hatch.
- Perhaps there is another way out.

455
00:39:28,720 --> 00:39:33,112
There's a hull rupture in a compartment.
It may provide a means of escape.

456
00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:45,271
Start digging.

457
00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:51,638
Quickly!

458
00:39:56,720 --> 00:40:00,554
We've disabled two of their ships.
The third is still firing.

459
00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:03,240
We're being hailed. Audio only.

460
00:40:04,240 --> 00:40:07,073
You're committing an act of war.

461
00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:09,510
You've left me no choice, Chancellor.

462
00:40:09,640 --> 00:40:13,429
- You will be destroyed...
- I don't have time for this.

463
00:40:13,560 --> 00:40:15,995
Target their weapons array.

464
00:40:16,120 --> 00:40:18,714
Seven, I need your help.

465
00:40:46,240 --> 00:40:49,232
I've got them.
We're on our way back to Voyager.

466
00:40:49,360 --> 00:40:51,954
Acknowledged. Good work.

467
00:40:54,080 --> 00:40:57,914
I'm detecting a fleet of B'omar
vessels approaching. 68 ships.

468
00:40:58,040 --> 00:41:03,433
Ensign, as soon as Mr Paris' shuttle
docks, take us out of B'omar space.

469
00:41:03,560 --> 00:41:06,120
- Warp 8.
- Aye, sir.

470
00:41:08,360 --> 00:41:11,830
Looks like there won't
be any shortcuts this time.

471
00:41:29,360 --> 00:41:31,510
There you are.

472
00:41:31,640 --> 00:41:35,952
I wanted to tell you the doctor said
he could adjust one of your implants

473
00:41:36,080 --> 00:41:38,833
so you won't receive
any more homing signals.

474
00:41:38,960 --> 00:41:42,749
Thank you. I hope you don't mind
that I activated this program?

475
00:41:42,880 --> 00:41:45,440
Not at all.

476
00:41:46,840 --> 00:41:49,480
I've been thinking about what you said,

477
00:41:49,600 --> 00:41:53,594
that this was a place
to encourage your imagination.

478
00:41:53,720 --> 00:41:56,075
Is that appealing to you?

479
00:41:57,800 --> 00:42:00,030
I'm not certain.

480
00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:08,917
I find myself constructing scenarios
and considering alternative possibilities.

481
00:42:10,520 --> 00:42:15,879
What if we'd not encountered the Borg?
What would our lives have been?

482
00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:20,674
I would have been raised by them.
Learned from them.

483
00:42:20,800 --> 00:42:24,509
It would have influenced what I became,
who and what I am.

484
00:42:24,640 --> 00:42:29,271
And you... would have
done the same for them.

485
00:42:30,920 --> 00:42:35,471
There's information about your parents
in the Federation database.

486
00:42:35,600 --> 00:42:37,113
Information?

487
00:42:37,240 --> 00:42:40,471
It seems they were fairly well-known

488
00:42:40,600 --> 00:42:47,119
for being unconventional and for some
rather unique scientific theories.

489
00:42:47,240 --> 00:42:52,792
You might like to read what's there.
It might... encourage your imagination.

490
00:42:54,680 --> 00:42:59,151
Perhaps I will. Someday.

491
00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:03,713
Good night, Captain.

492
00:43:59,920 --> 00:44:00,920
English (en)
