1
00:00:20,153 --> 00:00:22,621
Regeneration cycle incomplete.
2
00:03:28,007 --> 00:03:30,669
When l checked
the overnight sensor logs,
3
00:03:30,743 --> 00:03:33,211
this little surprise
was waiting for me.
4
00:03:33,279 --> 00:03:35,406
Maybe l'm not quite awake,
5
00:03:35,481 --> 00:03:39,110
but it looks like its
over 100 kilometers wide.
6
00:03:39,185 --> 00:03:42,120
120. At first, l thought
it was an asteroid cluster
7
00:03:42,188 --> 00:03:46,056
until l picked up
a residual warp signature.
8
00:03:46,125 --> 00:03:48,616
lt was a Borg vessel.
9
00:03:48,695 --> 00:03:50,959
There are tetryon particles
in the debris consistent
10
00:03:51,064 --> 00:03:52,725
with the atmosphere
inside a cube.
11
00:03:52,799 --> 00:03:54,494
Any idea what destroyed it?
12
00:03:54,567 --> 00:03:56,967
We would need to run
close-range scans
13
00:03:57,070 --> 00:03:58,469
of the hull fragments.
14
00:03:58,538 --> 00:04:00,597
Unless we alter course,
we'll get our chance.
15
00:04:00,707 --> 00:04:02,368
The debris field's
directly ahead.
16
00:04:02,442 --> 00:04:04,069
Then l suggest
we cut a wide berth.
17
00:04:04,143 --> 00:04:07,635
Chances are the Borg will send
more vessels to investigate.
18
00:04:07,714 --> 00:04:09,204
Alter course
to avoid the debris.
19
00:04:09,282 --> 00:04:10,374
lf that's all...
20
00:04:10,450 --> 00:04:13,112
One other piece
of business, Captain.
21
00:04:13,186 --> 00:04:14,414
lt seems we had another incident
22
00:04:14,487 --> 00:04:15,545
in the Mess Hall last night.
23
00:04:15,622 --> 00:04:17,522
Return of the midnight snacker?
24
00:04:17,590 --> 00:04:18,887
l'm afraid so.
25
00:04:19,025 --> 00:04:20,117
Casualties?
26
00:04:20,193 --> 00:04:21,888
A leg of Kelaran wildebeest
l'd prepared
27
00:04:21,995 --> 00:04:23,656
for Ensign Ryson's birthday.
28
00:04:23,730 --> 00:04:25,698
Since Commander Tuvok
has been unable
29
00:04:25,765 --> 00:04:28,359
to round up any suspects,
l'd like to ask
30
00:04:28,468 --> 00:04:30,095
that stronger measures be taken.
31
00:04:30,203 --> 00:04:31,830
Perhaps
an armed security detail...
32
00:04:31,938 --> 00:04:33,872
l'd like to ask permission
to replicate
33
00:04:33,940 --> 00:04:36,374
some locking mechanisms
for the cabinet doors.
34
00:04:36,442 --> 00:04:37,431
Granted.
35
00:04:37,543 --> 00:04:38,908
Dismissed.
36
00:05:29,128 --> 00:05:31,460
Naomi Wildman,
37
00:05:31,531 --> 00:05:33,362
Subunit of Ensign
Samantha Wildman,
38
00:05:33,433 --> 00:05:34,559
state your intentions.
39
00:05:34,634 --> 00:05:35,999
l...
40
00:05:38,004 --> 00:05:39,494
Very well.
You leave me no choice
41
00:05:39,605 --> 00:05:42,199
but to report your activities
to the Captain.
42
00:05:42,308 --> 00:05:43,536
Please don't.
43
00:05:43,609 --> 00:05:45,702
l was just observing you.
44
00:05:45,778 --> 00:05:47,177
Explain.
45
00:05:47,246 --> 00:05:49,578
Well, Neelix told
me that the Borg
46
00:05:49,649 --> 00:05:51,082
do a lot of things they do
47
00:05:51,150 --> 00:05:52,811
because they're trying
to be perfect
48
00:05:52,885 --> 00:05:54,910
and, even though you're
not really a drone anymore,
49
00:05:54,987 --> 00:05:56,318
you still try to be perfect.
50
00:05:56,389 --> 00:05:57,321
Don't you?
51
00:05:57,390 --> 00:05:58,721
Correct.
52
00:05:58,791 --> 00:06:00,486
Well, if l can learn
to be perfect, too,
53
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:01,492
then Captain Janeway
54
00:06:01,561 --> 00:06:03,256
will have to make me
her Bridge Assistant.
55
00:06:03,329 --> 00:06:05,627
No such rank exists
aboard this vessel.
56
00:06:05,698 --> 00:06:07,131
Not yet.
57
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:10,658
And you hope to achieve
this goal by emulating me?
58
00:06:10,770 --> 00:06:11,998
Are you mad?
59
00:06:12,105 --> 00:06:14,073
No.
There are many on this crew
60
00:06:14,140 --> 00:06:16,165
that would benefit
from your example.
61
00:06:16,275 --> 00:06:18,368
So you'll teach me.
62
00:06:18,444 --> 00:06:19,877
Your objective is admirable.
63
00:06:20,012 --> 00:06:22,776
However, your neocortical
development is incomplete.
64
00:06:22,849 --> 00:06:25,784
You would require several
months of accelerated growth
65
00:06:25,852 --> 00:06:27,410
in a Borg maturation chamber.
66
00:06:27,487 --> 00:06:30,888
Oh... l don't think
l like the sound of that.
67
00:06:30,957 --> 00:06:32,254
Then l suggest that yo...
68
00:06:40,533 --> 00:06:43,297
-Hi.
-Hi.
69
00:06:43,403 --> 00:06:46,236
l'm bored.
Let's do something fun.
70
00:06:46,305 --> 00:06:47,465
Like what?
71
00:06:47,573 --> 00:06:49,473
Swimming?
72
00:06:49,542 --> 00:06:52,477
Oh, l'm not allowed
to go swimming without my mom.
73
00:06:52,545 --> 00:06:54,445
Oh.
74
00:06:54,514 --> 00:06:56,106
Do you like Kadis-Kot?
75
00:06:56,182 --> 00:06:57,410
Love it.
76
00:06:57,483 --> 00:06:58,450
Come on.
77
00:07:01,954 --> 00:07:04,013
l'll be Bridge Assistant
for a while
78
00:07:04,090 --> 00:07:05,990
then, l'll be promoted
to Ensign.
79
00:07:06,058 --> 00:07:07,821
lt'll be Lieutenant after that,
80
00:07:07,894 --> 00:07:10,590
and by the time we reach
the Alpha Quadrant...
81
00:07:10,663 --> 00:07:12,528
Captain Wildman.
82
00:07:14,300 --> 00:07:17,292
Green, grid 14-4.
83
00:07:17,403 --> 00:07:18,631
Kadis-Kot. l win.
84
00:07:20,072 --> 00:07:21,403
You're really good at this game.
85
00:07:21,474 --> 00:07:22,839
You want a rematch?
86
00:07:22,909 --> 00:07:23,876
Sure.
87
00:07:23,976 --> 00:07:26,137
Captains don't have much time
to play, you know.
88
00:07:26,212 --> 00:07:27,440
That's okay.
89
00:07:27,513 --> 00:07:28,810
l'll be pretty busy by then.
90
00:07:28,881 --> 00:07:30,781
Want to hear the rules
of first contact?
91
00:07:30,850 --> 00:07:32,317
No.
92
00:07:32,385 --> 00:07:34,353
How about the suborders
of the Prime Directive?
93
00:07:34,420 --> 00:07:35,648
l know all 47 of them.
94
00:07:35,721 --> 00:07:37,882
You study too much, Naomi.
95
00:07:38,024 --> 00:07:39,992
Just like my brother.
96
00:07:40,059 --> 00:07:41,754
l didn't know you had a brother.
97
00:07:41,828 --> 00:07:43,295
Mm-hmm. 12 of them.
98
00:07:43,362 --> 00:07:44,351
Twelve?
99
00:07:44,430 --> 00:07:46,364
Nine older and three younger.
100
00:07:46,432 --> 00:07:47,899
We play Kadis-Kot all the time.
101
00:07:48,034 --> 00:07:50,434
l only have my mom
and Neelix to play with--
102
00:07:50,503 --> 00:07:51,902
when they're not working.
103
00:07:51,971 --> 00:07:53,495
You must get lonely.
104
00:07:53,606 --> 00:07:57,064
A little. You get used to it.
105
00:07:57,176 --> 00:07:58,370
You adapt.
106
00:07:58,444 --> 00:07:59,911
Adapt?
107
00:08:00,012 --> 00:08:01,639
You know, like the Borg.
108
00:08:01,714 --> 00:08:05,241
Borg... l hate Borgs.
109
00:08:05,318 --> 00:08:06,910
You do?
110
00:08:06,986 --> 00:08:08,817
Yeah. They're mean.
111
00:08:08,921 --> 00:08:10,548
Torres to Seven of Nine.
112
00:08:10,623 --> 00:08:12,386
Please report to Engineering.
113
00:08:12,458 --> 00:08:13,425
lt's your move.
114
00:08:15,394 --> 00:08:17,726
Seven, respond.
115
00:08:20,867 --> 00:08:22,164
l'm on my way, Lieutenant.
116
00:08:23,803 --> 00:08:25,031
Naomi Wildman...
117
00:08:25,137 --> 00:08:26,695
Yes?
118
00:08:26,806 --> 00:08:28,706
what am l doing here?
119
00:08:28,774 --> 00:08:31,470
We're playing Kadis-Kot.
120
00:08:33,813 --> 00:08:35,144
Seven?
121
00:08:50,029 --> 00:08:51,997
Take a look at this, will you?
122
00:08:52,064 --> 00:08:56,023
l'm picking up an energy signal
in the lower subspace bands
123
00:08:56,135 --> 00:08:59,195
and if l'm not mistaken,
it's got a Borg modulation.
124
00:08:59,305 --> 00:09:00,431
You're correct.
125
00:09:00,540 --> 00:09:01,802
lt is Borg.
126
00:09:01,941 --> 00:09:04,205
l believe it's
a neural interlink frequency.
127
00:09:04,277 --> 00:09:05,369
A what?
128
00:09:05,444 --> 00:09:08,845
A frequency that integrates
the minds of Borg drones.
129
00:09:09,982 --> 00:09:12,177
Can you pinpoint the origin?
130
00:09:12,251 --> 00:09:13,616
l will try.
131
00:09:15,321 --> 00:09:18,916
No offense, Seven,
but you look terrible.
132
00:09:18,991 --> 00:09:20,481
l am not well.
133
00:09:20,560 --> 00:09:22,653
l experienced
a brief lapse in memory
134
00:09:22,728 --> 00:09:24,286
and l am disoriented.
135
00:09:24,363 --> 00:09:25,762
Maybe you should
get to Sick Bay.
136
00:09:25,831 --> 00:09:27,230
No.
137
00:09:27,300 --> 00:09:28,995
This interlink frequency
could explain m...
138
00:09:40,379 --> 00:09:42,643
Do-raQ me'roch.
139
00:09:42,715 --> 00:09:44,307
l beg your pardon?
140
00:09:45,451 --> 00:09:48,011
l am the son of K'Vok.
141
00:09:48,087 --> 00:09:49,111
And you?
142
00:09:49,188 --> 00:09:50,587
What house are you from?
143
00:09:50,656 --> 00:09:52,749
ls this some kind of a joke?
144
00:09:52,825 --> 00:09:56,886
You wear the uniform
of a Starfleet puH-chaH.
145
00:09:56,996 --> 00:09:59,829
What kind of a warrior are you?
146
00:09:59,899 --> 00:10:02,231
Tom put you up to this,
didn't he?
147
00:10:02,335 --> 00:10:03,768
Well, it didn't work.
148
00:10:07,173 --> 00:10:08,800
Come, warrior,
let me look at you.
149
00:10:08,908 --> 00:10:10,375
Enough, Seven.
150
00:10:11,611 --> 00:10:12,737
Your blood is sweet!
151
00:10:16,749 --> 00:10:17,681
Torres to Security.
152
00:10:17,750 --> 00:10:19,479
Get somebody down here
right now.
153
00:10:19,552 --> 00:10:21,042
You are strong.
154
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:22,451
You will make an excellent mate.
155
00:10:22,521 --> 00:10:24,352
Get the hell away from me!
156
00:10:24,423 --> 00:10:26,857
You wish to prove yourself
in battle.
157
00:10:34,166 --> 00:10:35,394
Report.
158
00:10:35,501 --> 00:10:37,696
Seven of Nine attacked
B'Elanna in Engineering.
159
00:10:37,803 --> 00:10:39,327
She's on Deck 9, Section 23.
160
00:10:39,438 --> 00:10:40,837
Force fields.
161
00:10:40,906 --> 00:10:43,204
Don't tell me those two
have actually come to blows.
162
00:10:49,148 --> 00:10:51,139
Bridge to Tuvok.
163
00:10:51,217 --> 00:10:54,880
Seven's been contained--
Deck 10, Section 32.
164
00:10:54,954 --> 00:10:55,886
Acknowledged.
165
00:10:55,955 --> 00:10:57,217
We're nearing her position.
166
00:11:00,426 --> 00:11:02,951
Seven?
167
00:11:04,463 --> 00:11:06,556
Somebody's hurt
and he needs help.
168
00:11:10,770 --> 00:11:12,897
Did l do something bad?
169
00:11:13,005 --> 00:11:14,836
Who are you?
170
00:11:14,907 --> 00:11:17,273
My name's Maryl.
171
00:11:17,343 --> 00:11:19,903
Are you a Vulcan?
172
00:11:19,979 --> 00:11:23,437
Computer,
deactivate force field.
173
00:11:28,554 --> 00:11:29,782
Give me the phaser.
174
00:11:38,097 --> 00:11:39,894
You are not a physician,
Commander.
175
00:11:39,965 --> 00:11:41,830
The logical course of action
176
00:11:41,934 --> 00:11:44,960
would be to take him
to the infirmary.
177
00:11:45,137 --> 00:11:47,002
Maryl?
178
00:11:47,139 --> 00:11:49,733
Subaltern Lorot,
Vulcan High Command.
179
00:11:49,842 --> 00:11:51,503
May l be of assistance?
180
00:11:51,577 --> 00:11:52,805
Yes.
181
00:11:52,878 --> 00:11:55,506
Please accompany me to Sick Bay.
182
00:11:55,581 --> 00:11:58,141
Certainly.
183
00:11:58,217 --> 00:11:59,616
Clearly he was attacked.
184
00:11:59,685 --> 00:12:02,017
l suggest we use caution.
185
00:12:04,590 --> 00:12:06,023
pahtk!
186
00:12:06,092 --> 00:12:10,028
You will drown
in your own blood.
187
00:12:10,096 --> 00:12:11,996
Keep moving.
188
00:12:28,147 --> 00:12:30,172
Seven?
189
00:12:30,249 --> 00:12:32,513
Captain, why am l here?
190
00:12:32,585 --> 00:12:34,382
You've been unconscious
for nearly two hours.
191
00:12:34,453 --> 00:12:38,082
We believe you're experiencing
a neurological disorder.
192
00:12:38,157 --> 00:12:40,625
Voices... l hear voices...
193
00:12:40,693 --> 00:12:41,625
Describe them.
194
00:12:42,795 --> 00:12:44,956
They are agitated...
195
00:12:45,097 --> 00:12:48,260
chaotic...
196
00:12:48,367 --> 00:12:49,891
too many voices.
197
00:13:01,714 --> 00:13:03,443
Too many voices!
198
00:13:04,784 --> 00:13:08,686
The cortical inhibitor
is destabilizing.
199
00:13:08,754 --> 00:13:12,520
l'm increasing the
neurotransmitter levels.
200
00:13:12,591 --> 00:13:14,388
lt's working.
201
00:13:14,460 --> 00:13:16,325
Do you still hear the voices?
202
00:13:16,395 --> 00:13:18,158
They are fading.
203
00:13:20,900 --> 00:13:23,698
They are gone.
204
00:13:23,803 --> 00:13:25,532
All right.
Let's see what we can do
205
00:13:25,638 --> 00:13:27,105
to keep them from coming back.
206
00:13:27,206 --> 00:13:29,037
What's the last thing
you remember?
207
00:13:30,976 --> 00:13:33,911
l was in Engineering
assisting Lieutenant Torres.
208
00:13:33,979 --> 00:13:35,412
You have no recollection
209
00:13:35,481 --> 00:13:37,540
of a confrontation
with B'Elanna?
210
00:13:37,616 --> 00:13:38,548
Confrontation?
211
00:13:38,617 --> 00:13:39,606
l'm not sure why,
212
00:13:39,685 --> 00:13:41,676
but you seem to be manifesting
213
00:13:41,754 --> 00:13:44,052
personalities
other than your own.
214
00:13:44,123 --> 00:13:46,956
Naomi Wildman claims
the two of you played together
215
00:13:47,059 --> 00:13:48,959
for nearly an hour
this afternoon.
216
00:13:49,028 --> 00:13:51,053
You also attacked
Lieutenant Torres.
217
00:13:51,130 --> 00:13:53,758
She told us you called
yourself ''son of K'Vok''
218
00:13:53,833 --> 00:13:56,563
and that you initiated
a Klingon mating ritual.
219
00:13:57,703 --> 00:13:59,261
l have no memory
of those events.
220
00:13:59,371 --> 00:14:00,633
Come look at this.
221
00:14:00,739 --> 00:14:01,797
Doctor?
222
00:14:01,874 --> 00:14:04,240
This is your neural pattern.
223
00:14:04,310 --> 00:14:06,870
The memory engrams
and synaptic pathways
224
00:14:07,012 --> 00:14:09,173
that define you
as an individual.
225
00:14:09,248 --> 00:14:11,307
Unfortunately, you're not alone.
226
00:14:11,383 --> 00:14:13,681
13 new neural patterns
have emerged
227
00:14:13,752 --> 00:14:15,276
in your cerebral cortex--
228
00:14:15,354 --> 00:14:18,790
Klingon, Vulcan,
Terrelian, human
229
00:14:18,858 --> 00:14:20,382
and several others
l can't identify.
230
00:14:20,459 --> 00:14:21,391
How?
231
00:14:21,460 --> 00:14:23,052
They're coming
from within you.
232
00:14:23,128 --> 00:14:24,459
During your time
with the Borg,
233
00:14:24,530 --> 00:14:27,090
the collective assimilated
hundreds of different species.
234
00:14:27,166 --> 00:14:29,157
All of those neural patterns
were integrated
235
00:14:29,268 --> 00:14:30,428
into the hive mind.
236
00:14:30,536 --> 00:14:31,503
Of course.
237
00:14:31,604 --> 00:14:34,198
That means
they're in your mind, too,
238
00:14:34,306 --> 00:14:36,638
stored
within your cortical implants...
239
00:14:36,709 --> 00:14:38,142
dormant until now.
240
00:14:38,210 --> 00:14:39,370
From what we can tell,
241
00:14:39,445 --> 00:14:42,346
the various neural patterns
are surfacing randomly.
242
00:14:42,414 --> 00:14:45,281
ln essence, you've developed
the Borg equivalent
243
00:14:45,351 --> 00:14:47,319
of multiple personality
disorder.
244
00:14:48,387 --> 00:14:50,947
Can you correct
the malfunction?
245
00:14:51,023 --> 00:14:53,685
The cortical inhibitor
is suppressing the effect,
246
00:14:53,759 --> 00:14:55,693
but it's only
a temporary measure.
247
00:14:56,896 --> 00:14:59,956
Lieutenant Torres detected
a Borg interlink frequency.
248
00:15:00,032 --> 00:15:00,964
lt could be causing
249
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:02,524
my cortical implants
to malfunction.
250
00:15:02,601 --> 00:15:04,034
The signal appears
to be emanating
251
00:15:04,103 --> 00:15:06,196
from the Borg debris field
we discovered this morning.
252
00:15:06,305 --> 00:15:08,637
Maybe we should jump to warp--
try to get out of range.
253
00:15:08,707 --> 00:15:10,402
The signal permeates subspace.
254
00:15:10,476 --> 00:15:11,602
We cannot avoid it.
255
00:15:11,677 --> 00:15:13,645
Our only hope is
to terminate the signal
256
00:15:13,712 --> 00:15:14,872
at its point of origin.
257
00:15:14,947 --> 00:15:17,245
Set a course for
the debris field.
258
00:15:17,316 --> 00:15:19,580
When we arrive,
we may need your help.
259
00:15:19,652 --> 00:15:20,880
Feel up to it?
260
00:15:21,020 --> 00:15:22,453
Yes, Captain.
261
00:15:22,521 --> 00:15:24,318
Keep a close eye on her, Doctor,
262
00:15:24,390 --> 00:15:27,154
in case she has any more
unexpected visitors.
263
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:36,465
Has any drone ever
experienced symptoms
264
00:15:36,568 --> 00:15:37,535
like these before?
265
00:15:37,603 --> 00:15:39,798
The collective does not
tolerate imperfection.
266
00:15:39,905 --> 00:15:42,237
Any drone with a malfunction
as serious as mine
267
00:15:42,308 --> 00:15:43,775
would be destroyed immediately.
268
00:15:43,876 --> 00:15:46,777
Lucky for you, this crew
is a little more tolerant.
269
00:15:46,845 --> 00:15:48,176
Oh, there you are.
270
00:15:48,247 --> 00:15:51,182
Lieutenant Torres tells me
you're under the weather.
271
00:15:51,250 --> 00:15:52,512
Correct.
272
00:15:52,584 --> 00:15:53,642
Well, is there anything
273
00:15:53,719 --> 00:15:55,448
your morale officer
can do to help?
274
00:15:55,521 --> 00:15:58,183
Assignments you need me to
finish while you recuperate?
275
00:15:58,257 --> 00:15:59,349
No.
276
00:15:59,425 --> 00:16:01,188
l have some wonderful
medicinal teas.
277
00:16:01,293 --> 00:16:03,022
Maybe l could
prepare one for you.
278
00:16:03,062 --> 00:16:04,051
Talaxian homeopathy.
279
00:16:04,129 --> 00:16:06,427
l don't think we're quite
that desperate yet.
280
00:16:06,498 --> 00:16:08,523
How about if l make one of
your favorite nutritional...?
281
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:10,295
Your concern has been noted.
282
00:16:10,402 --> 00:16:12,529
The Doctor will inform you
when l am functional again.
283
00:16:12,638 --> 00:16:14,162
Right. Sorry.
284
00:16:14,273 --> 00:16:16,833
Oh, uh...
l almost forgot--
285
00:16:16,942 --> 00:16:18,876
it's from Naomi Wildman.
286
00:16:20,813 --> 00:16:22,075
lt's a drawing of Voyager.
287
00:16:23,515 --> 00:16:25,039
Or maybe it's an asteroid belt.
288
00:16:25,117 --> 00:16:27,517
l'm not sure.
289
00:16:27,586 --> 00:16:30,111
Naomi thought that it
might make you feel better.
290
00:16:31,623 --> 00:16:33,614
Tell her thank you.
291
00:16:45,871 --> 00:16:47,270
l suspected as much.
292
00:16:47,339 --> 00:16:51,332
There were several interruptions
in your regeneration cycle.
293
00:16:51,443 --> 00:16:53,911
18 minutes,
five minutes, one hour.
294
00:16:53,979 --> 00:16:55,742
l don't recall them.
295
00:16:55,814 --> 00:16:57,873
Let's examine
your neural function logs.
296
00:16:57,950 --> 00:17:00,043
Low serotonin levels
during regeneration.
297
00:17:00,119 --> 00:17:01,381
That's normal.
298
00:17:01,453 --> 00:17:04,286
But look at these spikes
in the prefrontal synapses.
299
00:17:04,356 --> 00:17:07,154
They appear only seconds
before you left the alcove.
300
00:17:07,226 --> 00:17:08,386
You were sleepwalking.
301
00:17:08,460 --> 00:17:10,724
l don't remember entering
this data file.
302
00:17:10,796 --> 00:17:13,959
Looks like we found the identity
of the midnight snacker.
303
00:17:14,033 --> 00:17:16,024
l'm sure Mr. Neelix
will be relieved.
304
00:17:16,135 --> 00:17:21,163
Personal Log, Ensign Stone,
Stardate 52188.7.
305
00:17:21,273 --> 00:17:23,400
l just completed my first week
of active duty.
306
00:17:23,509 --> 00:17:24,771
lt was a nightmare.
307
00:17:24,843 --> 00:17:26,367
After four years at the Academy,
308
00:17:26,445 --> 00:17:28,208
l thought
l was ready for anything,
309
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:30,407
but Captain Blackwood
runs a tight ship
310
00:17:30,482 --> 00:17:32,450
and he seems to take
special pleasure
311
00:17:32,518 --> 00:17:33,883
in tormenting new recruits.
312
00:17:33,986 --> 00:17:36,750
The First Officer tells me
not to take it personally,
313
00:17:36,822 --> 00:17:38,790
but it's hard
to be objective when...
314
00:17:38,857 --> 00:17:40,290
Blackwood.
315
00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:43,658
Captain of the Federation
Starship Tombaugh.
316
00:17:43,729 --> 00:17:47,187
The Borg assimilated
that vessel 13 years ago.
317
00:17:47,266 --> 00:17:49,700
The individual who made
this recording
318
00:17:49,802 --> 00:17:52,066
must have been a member
of the crew.
319
00:17:52,171 --> 00:17:53,638
One of my victims.
320
00:17:53,705 --> 00:17:55,366
Here's another log entry--
321
00:17:55,474 --> 00:17:57,442
this one encoded
for transmission.
322
00:17:57,543 --> 00:17:59,807
Hi. Guess who?
323
00:17:59,878 --> 00:18:02,346
l know l promised
to write you every day,
324
00:18:02,448 --> 00:18:04,040
but that's simply not enough.
325
00:18:04,083 --> 00:18:06,313
How about once in the morning
when l resuscitate
326
00:18:06,385 --> 00:18:08,250
and once at night
before l go into torpor
327
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:11,448
and l'll think about you
nonstop in between.
328
00:18:11,523 --> 00:18:12,581
Wait. l've got a better idea.
329
00:18:12,658 --> 00:18:15,252
Why don't you leave your circle
and visit the colony?
330
00:18:15,327 --> 00:18:16,726
You'd love it here-- sul...
331
00:18:16,795 --> 00:18:18,160
Anything familiar?
332
00:18:18,230 --> 00:18:21,563
l helped to assimilate
thousands of individuals.
333
00:18:21,633 --> 00:18:23,260
l do not remember
each of their names.
334
00:18:23,368 --> 00:18:25,836
Seven, you were a Borg drone
335
00:18:26,004 --> 00:18:27,767
who's now becoming
an individual.
336
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:29,330
That's practically unheard of.
337
00:18:29,441 --> 00:18:33,002
There's bound to be rough
spots along the way.
338
00:18:33,078 --> 00:18:35,376
We just have to get past them.
339
00:18:35,447 --> 00:18:37,210
Bridge to Seven of Nine.
340
00:18:37,282 --> 00:18:38,874
We're approaching
the debris field.
341
00:18:38,951 --> 00:18:40,282
Acknowledged.
342
00:18:47,092 --> 00:18:48,252
Survivors?
343
00:18:48,327 --> 00:18:49,453
None.
344
00:18:49,528 --> 00:18:50,825
Any sign of Borg vessels?
345
00:18:50,896 --> 00:18:51,828
No, sir.
346
00:18:51,897 --> 00:18:53,296
We're the first ones here.
347
00:18:53,365 --> 00:18:54,764
l'm picking up the source
348
00:18:54,833 --> 00:18:57,529
of the interlink frequency,
bearing 027 mark 3.
349
00:18:57,636 --> 00:18:58,660
On screen.
350
00:19:00,606 --> 00:19:02,540
Magnify.
351
00:19:02,608 --> 00:19:04,542
lt's a Borg vinculum.
352
00:19:04,610 --> 00:19:07,272
Vinculum?
353
00:19:07,346 --> 00:19:08,677
The processing device
354
00:19:08,747 --> 00:19:10,806
at the core
of every Borg vessel.
355
00:19:10,949 --> 00:19:13,474
lt interconnects
the minds of all the drones.
356
00:19:13,552 --> 00:19:15,042
lt purges individual thoughts
357
00:19:15,120 --> 00:19:18,055
and disseminates information
relevant to the collective.
358
00:19:18,123 --> 00:19:19,454
lt brings order to chaos.
359
00:19:19,525 --> 00:19:20,787
Precisely.
360
00:19:20,859 --> 00:19:23,225
Looks like this one
has established a link
361
00:19:23,295 --> 00:19:24,728
to your cortical implant.
362
00:19:24,796 --> 00:19:27,822
l believe it has identified me
as an errant drone.
363
00:19:27,966 --> 00:19:28,830
lt is attempting
364
00:19:29,001 --> 00:19:30,832
to reintegrate me
into the collective.
365
00:19:31,003 --> 00:19:32,630
The vinculum is malfunctioning.
366
00:19:32,738 --> 00:19:34,569
lt is sending me
erratic commands.
367
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:37,541
Bringing chaos to order.
368
00:19:38,977 --> 00:19:40,239
Yes.
369
00:19:40,312 --> 00:19:41,870
Can you sever the link?
370
00:19:41,980 --> 00:19:45,347
Not without risking permanent
damage to my own systems.
371
00:19:45,417 --> 00:19:47,612
The vinculum must be
taken off-line.
372
00:19:47,686 --> 00:19:50,814
Permission to beam it aboard
for analysis.
373
00:19:50,889 --> 00:19:53,756
l have worked with
this technology before.
374
00:19:53,825 --> 00:19:55,417
l may be able to disable it.
375
00:19:55,494 --> 00:19:58,463
We're talking about
the heart of a Borg cube.
376
00:19:58,530 --> 00:20:01,055
l'd rather not take it
inside my ship.
377
00:20:01,133 --> 00:20:03,067
Can you disable it remotely?
378
00:20:03,168 --> 00:20:04,635
Yes, but l would need
several days.
379
00:20:04,736 --> 00:20:05,998
The Borg may return by then.
380
00:20:06,104 --> 00:20:08,800
l recommend we take the vinculum
381
00:20:08,907 --> 00:20:11,876
and leave this region
immediately.
382
00:20:15,113 --> 00:20:17,308
Tuvok, prepare to beam it
to Engineering.
383
00:20:17,382 --> 00:20:18,906
Erect a level-10 force field
384
00:20:18,984 --> 00:20:20,884
and maintain constant
surveillance.
385
00:20:20,953 --> 00:20:23,820
The moment it poses a threat,
send it back into space.
386
00:20:23,889 --> 00:20:27,086
Tom, as soon a it's aboard,
get us out of here, warp 9.
387
00:20:27,159 --> 00:20:28,592
Aye, Captain.
388
00:20:28,660 --> 00:20:30,491
l understand
what you're going through
389
00:20:30,562 --> 00:20:32,621
and l want to help you
in every way l can,
390
00:20:32,698 --> 00:20:35,496
but the safety of this crew
is my first responsibility.
391
00:20:35,567 --> 00:20:38,695
We haven't had the best
of luck with the Borg.
392
00:20:38,804 --> 00:20:40,863
Nor have l.
393
00:20:47,613 --> 00:20:49,547
Let's keep on eye
on those antigrav struts.
394
00:20:49,615 --> 00:20:52,015
Boylan, lock out
all primary command consoles
395
00:20:52,084 --> 00:20:55,417
and reroute transporter controls
to Main Engineering.
396
00:20:55,487 --> 00:20:57,284
Yes, Lieutenant.
397
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:02,054
Seven?
398
00:21:02,127 --> 00:21:04,755
The voices, l hear them.
399
00:21:04,830 --> 00:21:06,855
lt's your proximity
to the vinculum.
400
00:21:06,932 --> 00:21:08,365
The link is stronger here.
401
00:21:08,433 --> 00:21:10,924
l'm adjusting your
neurotransmitter levels.
402
00:21:12,404 --> 00:21:14,463
We better get started.
403
00:21:21,713 --> 00:21:23,442
Don't worry, Lieutenant.
404
00:21:23,515 --> 00:21:26,416
The son of K'Vok
will not be joining us.
405
00:21:26,485 --> 00:21:27,918
Glad to hear it.
406
00:21:27,986 --> 00:21:30,614
Does this qualify
as our second date?
407
00:21:30,689 --> 00:21:33,180
Just think of me
as your chaperon.
408
00:21:33,258 --> 00:21:34,520
So...
409
00:21:34,593 --> 00:21:36,151
where's the off switch?
410
00:21:36,228 --> 00:21:39,129
The vinculum is equipped
with many safeguards.
411
00:21:39,197 --> 00:21:41,461
l will need to access
its transneural matrix
412
00:21:41,533 --> 00:21:42,830
and disable it directly.
413
00:21:45,137 --> 00:21:46,695
l'm reading a power surge.
414
00:21:46,805 --> 00:21:49,296
lt's a normal response
to my intrusion.
415
00:21:49,408 --> 00:21:50,500
Don't be alarmed.
416
00:21:52,077 --> 00:21:53,840
Curious...
417
00:21:53,912 --> 00:21:56,472
l'm detecting an organism
within the vinculum.
418
00:21:56,548 --> 00:21:58,448
lt appears to be a viral agent.
419
00:21:58,517 --> 00:21:59,484
Let's see it.
420
00:22:01,086 --> 00:22:02,883
lt's a synthetic pathogen.
421
00:22:02,954 --> 00:22:05,445
The virus was originally
a biological agent,
422
00:22:05,524 --> 00:22:06,491
but it's mutated.
423
00:22:06,558 --> 00:22:08,458
lt's attacking
the vinculum's programs
424
00:22:08,527 --> 00:22:09,755
as it would living cells.
425
00:22:09,828 --> 00:22:12,388
An organism
that attacks technology?
426
00:22:12,464 --> 00:22:14,455
The cube was infected
three days ago,
427
00:22:14,533 --> 00:22:17,229
shortly after assimilating
an alien shuttlecraft.
428
00:22:18,737 --> 00:22:21,069
Species 6339.
429
00:22:21,139 --> 00:22:23,403
They were the last ones to come
in contact with the cube.
430
00:22:23,475 --> 00:22:25,636
Looks like we've found
our Typhoid Mary.
431
00:22:30,682 --> 00:22:34,345
Species 6339, humanoid.
Warp-capable.
432
00:22:34,419 --> 00:22:38,549
Origin: Grid 124,
Octant 22-Theta.
433
00:22:38,623 --> 00:22:39,817
They first encountered
the Borg
434
00:22:39,891 --> 00:22:40,949
approximately four years ago.
435
00:22:41,093 --> 00:22:43,061
Since that time,
1 1 billion individuals
436
00:22:43,128 --> 00:22:44,618
have been assimilated.
437
00:22:44,696 --> 00:22:46,789
Three days ago,
the collective detected
438
00:22:46,865 --> 00:22:48,958
one of their last
surviving shuttlecraft.
439
00:22:49,101 --> 00:22:50,432
A cube was sent
to intercept it.
440
00:22:50,535 --> 00:22:53,265
We believe the virus
was carried within their bodies.
441
00:22:53,372 --> 00:22:56,102
Once they were assimilated,
it spread to the vinculum.
442
00:22:56,174 --> 00:22:57,869
The drones aboard no doubt
443
00:22:57,943 --> 00:23:00,503
experienced symptoms
similar to my own.
444
00:23:00,579 --> 00:23:03,673
lt is no surprise
they destroyed themselves.
445
00:23:03,749 --> 00:23:06,547
l'd like to find Species 6339.
446
00:23:06,618 --> 00:23:09,109
They may be able
to help us treat you.
447
00:23:09,187 --> 00:23:11,314
Begin long-range
astrometric scans.
448
00:23:11,390 --> 00:23:13,415
See if they have any more
vessels in this region.
449
00:23:13,492 --> 00:23:14,424
Yes, Captain.
450
00:23:14,493 --> 00:23:16,222
l've already begun
a spatial diag...
451
00:23:21,299 --> 00:23:26,635
My... My, my.
Look at the size of that thing.
452
00:23:26,705 --> 00:23:27,672
This viewscreen.
453
00:23:27,773 --> 00:23:30,207
lt's got to be one
of the biggest l've ever seen.
454
00:23:30,275 --> 00:23:32,743
l'll give you
20 bars of latinum for it.
455
00:23:32,844 --> 00:23:34,869
l think the inhibitor's
gone off-line.
456
00:23:34,946 --> 00:23:36,311
Would you come here, please?
457
00:23:36,381 --> 00:23:38,781
Be quiet. Can't you see
l'm in the middle of a deal?
458
00:23:40,452 --> 00:23:43,216
Name your price, Captain...?
459
00:23:43,288 --> 00:23:45,313
Janeway, and you are...?
460
00:23:45,390 --> 00:23:47,381
Daimon Torrot.
461
00:23:47,459 --> 00:23:48,721
You're Ferengi.
462
00:23:48,794 --> 00:23:49,886
Of course l'm Ferengi.
463
00:23:49,961 --> 00:23:53,260
ls that some kind of insult
about the size of my ears?
464
00:23:53,331 --> 00:23:54,423
No, not at all.
465
00:23:54,499 --> 00:23:56,660
l'd be happy to
negotiate with you,
466
00:23:56,768 --> 00:23:58,759
but, first, we have
to get you to Sick Bay.
467
00:23:58,870 --> 00:24:00,394
Sick Bay?
What for?
468
00:24:00,505 --> 00:24:02,530
Because... you're ill.
469
00:24:02,641 --> 00:24:04,768
l've never felt better.
470
00:24:04,843 --> 00:24:06,140
Doctor.
471
00:24:06,211 --> 00:24:08,236
l'm afraid you've contracted
472
00:24:08,313 --> 00:24:10,713
a nasty strain
of the Ankaran flu.
473
00:24:10,782 --> 00:24:14,218
We've been treating you
several days. Remember?
474
00:24:14,286 --> 00:24:15,878
No.
475
00:24:16,021 --> 00:24:18,285
Short-term memory loss--
it's one of the symptoms.
476
00:24:18,356 --> 00:24:19,983
Don't worry. lt isn't
life-threatening,
477
00:24:20,058 --> 00:24:21,889
but we'll need to treat you...
in Sick Bay.
478
00:24:22,027 --> 00:24:25,155
What is this treatment
going to cost me?
479
00:24:25,230 --> 00:24:26,822
lt's free of charge.
480
00:24:26,898 --> 00:24:27,887
Free?
481
00:24:28,033 --> 00:24:29,295
Yes.
482
00:24:29,401 --> 00:24:31,460
You know, l have been having
a nagging pain
483
00:24:31,570 --> 00:24:33,765
in my lower left lobe,
and while you're at it
484
00:24:33,872 --> 00:24:36,340
why don't you run a complete
tricardial diagnostic?
485
00:24:36,441 --> 00:24:37,908
The Ferengi Health Commission
486
00:24:38,009 --> 00:24:41,035
is trying to revoke
my trading license.
487
00:24:41,112 --> 00:24:43,410
lmpressive vessel,
Captain. Galaxy-class?
488
00:24:43,482 --> 00:24:44,744
lntrepid.
489
00:24:44,816 --> 00:24:45,942
Ah. Ah! And here we are
490
00:24:46,051 --> 00:24:47,882
in the much talked
about ''Sick Bay.''
491
00:24:47,953 --> 00:24:50,945
Not exactly state
of the medical art now, is it?
492
00:24:51,022 --> 00:24:52,148
What do you mean?
493
00:24:52,224 --> 00:24:53,282
Low on bio-beds,
494
00:24:53,358 --> 00:24:54,484
terrible lighting,
495
00:24:54,559 --> 00:24:56,493
obsolete instruments.
496
00:24:56,561 --> 00:24:58,825
Lucky for you, l know
a medical supplier
497
00:24:58,897 --> 00:25:01,422
that can spruce this place up
in a nanosecond
498
00:25:01,533 --> 00:25:04,798
and l'll even drop my commission
to a mere... 30 percent?
499
00:25:04,870 --> 00:25:06,098
How generous of you.
500
00:25:06,204 --> 00:25:07,831
Computer, activate force field.
501
00:25:07,939 --> 00:25:10,271
Force field?
You said l wasn't contagious.
502
00:25:10,342 --> 00:25:11,809
lt's for your own safety.
503
00:25:11,877 --> 00:25:13,811
l set the cortical
inhibitor to maximum...
504
00:25:13,879 --> 00:25:15,141
l've been kidnapped!
505
00:25:15,213 --> 00:25:16,703
but it is no longer
suppressing the effect.
506
00:25:16,781 --> 00:25:17,713
These personalities...
507
00:25:18,783 --> 00:25:20,114
are going to keep surfacing.
508
00:25:20,185 --> 00:25:22,676
All the more reason to shut down
the vinculum as soon as we can.
509
00:25:22,754 --> 00:25:24,654
Even if we do break the
link, it may be too late.
510
00:25:24,723 --> 00:25:26,384
Seven's own neural pattern
is destabilizing.
511
00:25:26,458 --> 00:25:27,447
lt could be lost.
512
00:25:27,526 --> 00:25:29,619
Please help me.
513
00:25:29,694 --> 00:25:30,854
l'm looking for my son--
514
00:25:30,929 --> 00:25:32,760
Gregory Bergan,
Lieutenant Bergan.
515
00:25:32,831 --> 00:25:33,820
Have you seen him?
516
00:25:33,899 --> 00:25:35,298
No, l'm afraid not.
517
00:25:35,367 --> 00:25:37,494
From the Starship Melbourne.
518
00:25:37,602 --> 00:25:38,830
Melbourne...
519
00:25:38,937 --> 00:25:42,429
l was supposed
to meet him at Wolf 359,
520
00:25:42,541 --> 00:25:44,532
but Starfleet sent out a warning
521
00:25:44,643 --> 00:25:46,838
that the Borg were
attacking that sector.
522
00:25:46,912 --> 00:25:49,142
lt was too late
for us to turn back.
523
00:25:49,214 --> 00:25:51,182
We were caught
in a terrible battle.
524
00:25:51,249 --> 00:25:52,910
My ship was badly damaged.
525
00:25:52,984 --> 00:25:54,952
We had to leave on escape pods.
526
00:25:55,086 --> 00:25:57,953
l never found out
what happened to Gregory.
527
00:25:58,023 --> 00:26:01,390
Please, l haven't heard from him
in over three days.
528
00:26:01,459 --> 00:26:05,190
Could you check
with Starfleet Headquarters?
529
00:26:05,263 --> 00:26:08,357
l'll see what l can do.
530
00:26:08,433 --> 00:26:10,492
Thank you, Captain.
531
00:26:10,602 --> 00:26:12,968
lf... if you do speak with him,
532
00:26:13,038 --> 00:26:15,700
could you tell him that
his mother is all right
533
00:26:15,807 --> 00:26:17,468
and if he could pos...?
534
00:26:21,246 --> 00:26:22,713
Captain...
535
00:26:22,781 --> 00:26:24,146
Seven?
536
00:26:25,183 --> 00:26:26,480
Yes.
537
00:26:26,551 --> 00:26:28,075
The vinculum...
538
00:26:28,153 --> 00:26:30,144
We're preparing
to shut it down right away.
539
00:26:30,221 --> 00:26:32,451
l'll give the order
as soon as Torres is ready.
540
00:26:33,558 --> 00:26:36,254
How long was l... absent?
541
00:26:36,328 --> 00:26:38,159
About 20 minutes.
542
00:26:38,229 --> 00:26:39,355
How many?
543
00:26:39,431 --> 00:26:40,693
Two.
544
00:26:40,765 --> 00:26:44,895
One of whom wanted to acquire
half the items on the ship.
545
00:26:45,070 --> 00:26:47,061
DaiMon Torrot, l believe.
546
00:26:48,173 --> 00:26:50,073
Species 180, Ferengi.
547
00:26:50,141 --> 00:26:52,439
Yes. The other was a woman
548
00:26:52,510 --> 00:26:55,775
whose son was lost
in a Borg attack.
549
00:26:55,847 --> 00:26:58,611
You'll get through this, Seven.
550
00:26:58,683 --> 00:27:01,243
l do not share your optimism.
551
00:27:04,155 --> 00:27:06,180
When you took me from the Borg
552
00:27:06,257 --> 00:27:08,987
and began to turn me
into an individual,
553
00:27:09,060 --> 00:27:11,426
l found the silence
of my own mind
554
00:27:11,496 --> 00:27:12,793
difficult to bear.
555
00:27:14,833 --> 00:27:17,825
l missed the voices
of the collective.
556
00:27:17,936 --> 00:27:23,806
But now that l am an individual
those same voices...
557
00:27:23,875 --> 00:27:25,172
frighten me.
558
00:27:27,946 --> 00:27:29,379
Captain, l don't know
559
00:27:29,447 --> 00:27:32,473
if l can tolerate
this condition much longer.
560
00:27:32,550 --> 00:27:36,350
My courage is insufficient.
561
00:27:38,556 --> 00:27:41,081
Your job is to keep trying...
562
00:27:41,159 --> 00:27:45,186
to hold on, even when
you think you can't.
563
00:27:45,263 --> 00:27:48,528
Leave the rest
to me and the crew.
564
00:28:02,147 --> 00:28:04,411
Meet anyone interesting?
565
00:28:04,482 --> 00:28:07,451
Just finished swapping jokes
with a Bolian manicurist.
566
00:28:07,519 --> 00:28:08,952
Before that, l was debating
567
00:28:09,020 --> 00:28:12,421
the finer points of temporal
physics with a Krenim scientist.
568
00:28:12,490 --> 00:28:14,424
12 new personalities
have surfaced
569
00:28:14,492 --> 00:28:15,857
in the past hour alone.
570
00:28:18,496 --> 00:28:20,225
Seven's having
a rough time of it.
571
00:28:20,298 --> 00:28:21,765
The Doctor had to sedate her.
572
00:28:21,833 --> 00:28:23,425
And how's
the Captain holding up?
573
00:28:23,535 --> 00:28:26,095
l've been better, Chakotay.
574
00:28:26,204 --> 00:28:28,764
ln fact...
575
00:28:28,873 --> 00:28:30,170
l'm starting to wonder
576
00:28:30,241 --> 00:28:32,607
if my first officer
was right all along.
577
00:28:32,677 --> 00:28:33,871
About what?
578
00:28:33,945 --> 00:28:37,312
You always said that
bringing Seven into the fold
579
00:28:37,382 --> 00:28:38,815
might be impossible.
580
00:28:38,883 --> 00:28:42,546
''You can take the Borg
out of the collective, but...''
581
00:28:43,621 --> 00:28:45,145
l don't believe that.
582
00:28:45,223 --> 00:28:46,815
Not anymore.
583
00:28:46,891 --> 00:28:50,622
l didn't think she'd last
a day, much less a year.
584
00:28:50,695 --> 00:28:52,993
l'd say you've proven me wrong.
585
00:28:53,064 --> 00:28:54,190
Torres to Bridge.
586
00:28:54,265 --> 00:28:56,631
We're ready to begin
disabling the vinculum.
587
00:28:56,735 --> 00:28:57,861
Proceed.
588
00:28:59,971 --> 00:29:01,802
Target the transneural matrix.
589
00:29:01,906 --> 00:29:04,397
Stand by to initiate
the dampening field
590
00:29:04,476 --> 00:29:05,738
on my mark.
591
00:29:05,810 --> 00:29:08,074
Three, two, one.
592
00:29:08,146 --> 00:29:10,307
Mark.
593
00:29:13,485 --> 00:29:15,385
lts power output is dropping.
594
00:29:17,889 --> 00:29:19,754
Doctor to Bridge.
lt seems to be working.
595
00:29:19,824 --> 00:29:21,382
Her neural pattern
is stabilizing.
596
00:29:24,162 --> 00:29:26,756
Power output
is down to 77 percent.
597
00:29:26,831 --> 00:29:29,095
7 1 percent...
598
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:30,428
Wait a second.
599
00:29:30,535 --> 00:29:32,469
lt's increasing.
600
00:29:32,537 --> 00:29:34,630
l am refocusing the
dampening field.
601
00:29:34,739 --> 00:29:36,764
lt's still increasing.
602
00:29:36,875 --> 00:29:40,402
The vinculum is rerouting
its internal circuitry.
603
00:29:40,478 --> 00:29:41,638
lt's adapting.
604
00:29:42,714 --> 00:29:43,646
puH-chaH me'roQ!
605
00:29:44,716 --> 00:29:45,648
Engineering!
606
00:29:45,717 --> 00:29:46,706
Mother!
607
00:29:46,785 --> 00:29:48,685
Her synaptic pathways
are destabilizing!
608
00:29:48,753 --> 00:29:50,220
Abort the procedure!
609
00:29:50,288 --> 00:29:51,220
...voices. Help me!
610
00:29:51,289 --> 00:29:52,415
Abort!
611
00:29:52,490 --> 00:29:54,014
Stand by, Doctor.
612
00:29:54,092 --> 00:29:55,753
Power output at 98 percent.
613
00:29:56,828 --> 00:29:58,193
The force field is collapsing.
614
00:29:58,263 --> 00:29:59,890
Transfer to emergency power.
615
00:30:00,031 --> 00:30:01,498
lt won't work, Lieutenant.
616
00:30:01,566 --> 00:30:02,498
We must abort.
617
00:30:02,567 --> 00:30:03,625
Tuvok to Bridge.
618
00:30:03,735 --> 00:30:05,760
The procedure was unsuccessful.
619
00:30:05,870 --> 00:30:08,304
The vinculum has returned
to full power.
620
00:30:08,373 --> 00:30:09,431
Acknowledged.
621
00:30:09,541 --> 00:30:10,803
Doctor, report.
622
00:30:10,875 --> 00:30:13,901
Seven's neural pattern
has disappeared, Captain.
623
00:30:13,978 --> 00:30:15,946
lt appears that...
624
00:30:16,047 --> 00:30:18,777
the other patterns
have taken over completely.
625
00:30:18,850 --> 00:30:20,044
We've lost her.
626
00:30:28,259 --> 00:30:30,284
Captain's Log, supplemental.
627
00:30:30,361 --> 00:30:32,522
Long-range sensors
have detected a vessel
628
00:30:32,597 --> 00:30:35,532
belonging to Species 6339.
629
00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:37,659
We've set a course
to intercept them
630
00:30:37,769 --> 00:30:40,966
in the hopes they can help us
restore Seven of Nine.
631
00:30:41,072 --> 00:30:43,597
l've managed to stabilize
her primary cortical functions,
632
00:30:43,708 --> 00:30:47,109
but the woman in Sick Bay is not
Seven of Nine-- not anymore.
633
00:30:47,178 --> 00:30:49,976
New personalities are emerging
every few seconds now.
634
00:30:50,048 --> 00:30:51,015
She can't finish a sentence
635
00:30:51,082 --> 00:30:52,379
before the next one
rears its head.
636
00:30:52,450 --> 00:30:55,613
lt's creating an incredible
strain on her cerebral cortex.
637
00:30:55,687 --> 00:30:57,211
lf we don't deactivate
the vinculum soon,
638
00:30:57,288 --> 00:30:58,277
we may never get her back.
639
00:30:58,356 --> 00:30:59,288
Tuvok?
640
00:30:59,357 --> 00:31:01,222
Lieutenant Torres
is taking measures
641
00:31:01,326 --> 00:31:03,260
to prevent the vinculum
from adapting,
642
00:31:03,294 --> 00:31:05,262
but there's no guarantee
she'll succeed.
643
00:31:05,330 --> 00:31:07,389
Captain, l've exhausted every
viable treatment in my database.
644
00:31:07,465 --> 00:31:10,491
Then logic dictates
we go beyond medical science.
645
00:31:10,602 --> 00:31:13,070
l will attempt to mind-meld
with Seven of Nine.
646
00:31:13,171 --> 00:31:15,799
A mind-meld? You consider that
a viable treatment?
647
00:31:15,907 --> 00:31:18,034
Seven's neural pattern--
her sense of self--
648
00:31:18,109 --> 00:31:19,406
is immersed in chaos.
649
00:31:19,477 --> 00:31:21,468
l will attempt
to isolate her true self
650
00:31:21,546 --> 00:31:23,241
and guide it to the surface.
651
00:31:23,314 --> 00:31:24,941
lt's dangerous enough
to meld with one person,
652
00:31:25,016 --> 00:31:27,041
let alone hundreds
of different personalities.
653
00:31:27,118 --> 00:31:28,050
lt's too risky.
654
00:31:28,119 --> 00:31:29,381
The risk is mine to take.
655
00:31:29,454 --> 00:31:31,615
l'm aware of that,
but is this our only option?
656
00:31:31,689 --> 00:31:33,623
l believe it is, Captain.
657
00:31:33,691 --> 00:31:35,124
How long would you need
to prepare?
658
00:31:35,193 --> 00:31:36,319
Captain...
659
00:31:36,394 --> 00:31:37,884
you can't actually be
considering this...
660
00:31:37,962 --> 00:31:39,589
Vulcan mumbo jumbo.
661
00:31:39,664 --> 00:31:41,529
l will require
two hours of meditation.
662
00:31:41,599 --> 00:31:42,964
Begin immediately.
663
00:31:43,101 --> 00:31:44,728
Report to Sick Bay
when you're ready.
664
00:31:44,836 --> 00:31:46,303
You said it yourself.
665
00:31:46,404 --> 00:31:48,304
We've exhausted
every medical treatment.
666
00:31:48,373 --> 00:31:50,466
l just hope l don't find
myself with a second patient.
667
00:31:50,575 --> 00:31:52,008
Captain to the Bridge.
668
00:31:52,076 --> 00:31:53,043
On my way.
669
00:31:55,013 --> 00:31:55,945
Commander?
670
00:31:56,014 --> 00:31:58,209
lt's them-- Species 6339.
671
00:31:58,283 --> 00:31:59,511
Their vessel is well-armed,
Captain.
672
00:31:59,584 --> 00:32:02,348
l'm picking up 22 phaser cannons
on the aft section alone.
673
00:32:02,453 --> 00:32:03,511
Hail them.
674
00:32:03,554 --> 00:32:04,782
They're responding.
675
00:32:04,856 --> 00:32:06,323
On screen.
676
00:32:06,391 --> 00:32:08,757
l'm Captain Janeway
677
00:32:08,826 --> 00:32:11,294
of the Federation
Starship Voyager.
678
00:32:11,362 --> 00:32:14,525
We recently found a piece
of Borg technology.
679
00:32:14,599 --> 00:32:16,794
lt's been infected
with a viral agent
680
00:32:16,901 --> 00:32:18,198
we believe was
transmitted by your...
681
00:32:18,303 --> 00:32:20,271
The vinculum.
You have it?
682
00:32:21,339 --> 00:32:22,397
Yes.
683
00:32:22,507 --> 00:32:26,034
You've made
a terrible mistake, Captain.
684
00:32:26,110 --> 00:32:27,077
A weapon?
685
00:32:27,178 --> 00:32:29,043
Yes. Since the Borg
decimated our world,
686
00:32:29,113 --> 00:32:31,581
we've been looking
for ways to retaliate.
687
00:32:31,649 --> 00:32:34,675
So you created a virus
to infect their technology.
688
00:32:34,752 --> 00:32:37,186
13 of my people were
injected with the virus.
689
00:32:37,255 --> 00:32:39,416
They allowed themselves
to be assimilated
690
00:32:39,490 --> 00:32:41,958
so that the virus would spread
to this vinculum.
691
00:32:42,093 --> 00:32:44,118
Once another Borg ship
had retrieved it,
692
00:32:44,195 --> 00:32:45,856
they would be infected as well.
693
00:32:45,930 --> 00:32:47,898
Then another cube,
and another...
694
00:32:47,966 --> 00:32:49,126
We had the opportunity
695
00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:51,691
to infect dozens, even
hundreds of Borg vessels
696
00:32:51,803 --> 00:32:53,270
until you interfered!
697
00:32:53,371 --> 00:32:54,599
Why?
698
00:32:54,706 --> 00:32:57,732
Your virus has had one
unexpected casualty...
699
00:32:57,842 --> 00:32:59,366
a member of my crew.
700
00:32:59,477 --> 00:33:01,775
lt wasn't designed
to infect other species.
701
00:33:01,879 --> 00:33:03,039
She's Borg.
702
00:33:03,081 --> 00:33:04,605
We liberated her
703
00:33:04,682 --> 00:33:06,513
from the collective
over a year ago.
704
00:33:06,584 --> 00:33:07,812
She's an individual now.
705
00:33:07,885 --> 00:33:10,115
We were hoping you could
help us treat her.
706
00:33:10,188 --> 00:33:14,648
We designed that virus
to destroy Borg, Captain.
707
00:33:14,726 --> 00:33:17,217
We never considered a treatment.
708
00:33:17,295 --> 00:33:20,890
l'm afraid your drone
won't survive,
709
00:33:20,999 --> 00:33:24,594
but we must return the vinculum
to the debris field immediately.
710
00:33:24,702 --> 00:33:27,671
lf the Borg arrive first,
we'll have lost our chance.
711
00:33:27,772 --> 00:33:31,037
And those 13 people
will have died in vain.
712
00:33:32,410 --> 00:33:34,469
All right.
We'll return it to you,
713
00:33:34,545 --> 00:33:37,571
but first we need to try
to save our crew member.
714
00:33:37,648 --> 00:33:38,808
We think we have a way
715
00:33:38,883 --> 00:33:40,817
to counteract
the vinculum's effects.
716
00:33:40,885 --> 00:33:41,817
B'Elanna?
717
00:33:41,886 --> 00:33:43,410
l'm going to try to remodulate
718
00:33:43,488 --> 00:33:45,353
our dampening field
to compensate...
719
00:33:45,423 --> 00:33:46,856
We don't have time for this.
720
00:33:46,924 --> 00:33:49,358
The vinculum, Captain.
721
00:33:49,427 --> 00:33:51,486
l can't give it to you.
722
00:33:51,562 --> 00:33:52,688
Not yet.
723
00:33:52,764 --> 00:33:54,561
You've scanned our vessel.
724
00:33:54,632 --> 00:33:57,294
You're aware of our firepower.
725
00:33:57,402 --> 00:34:01,668
You could undoubtedly do
significant damage to Voyager
726
00:34:01,739 --> 00:34:03,468
and to the vinculum.
727
00:34:03,541 --> 00:34:05,475
ls that what you want?
728
00:34:06,811 --> 00:34:11,510
The vinculum survived
the destruction of one ship.
729
00:34:11,582 --> 00:34:15,313
What makes you so sure
it won't survive another?
730
00:34:26,664 --> 00:34:27,858
Doctor...
731
00:34:27,932 --> 00:34:28,899
Seven.
732
00:34:30,635 --> 00:34:32,603
A necessary precaution.
733
00:34:32,670 --> 00:34:36,106
A few of your... guests
have been violent.
734
00:34:36,207 --> 00:34:37,401
The vinculum.
735
00:34:37,475 --> 00:34:38,635
lt keeps adapting.
736
00:34:38,709 --> 00:34:41,143
We haven't been able
to shut it down.
737
00:34:41,212 --> 00:34:44,909
Your own neural pattern was
nearly destroyed in the process.
738
00:34:44,982 --> 00:34:47,951
l wasn't sure
l'd find you again.
739
00:34:48,052 --> 00:34:49,849
l am damaged.
740
00:34:49,921 --> 00:34:52,355
One of your... personas
741
00:34:52,423 --> 00:34:54,618
didn't appreciate
the restraints.
742
00:34:54,692 --> 00:34:57,957
She seemed intent on forcing
her way to freedom.
743
00:34:58,062 --> 00:34:59,222
l apologize.
744
00:35:00,431 --> 00:35:02,262
lt was hardly your fault.
You're ill.
745
00:35:02,333 --> 00:35:03,595
lrrelevant.
746
00:35:03,668 --> 00:35:05,966
l am Borg--
l should be able to adapt.
747
00:35:06,070 --> 00:35:07,867
Surprise--
you aren't invincible.
748
00:35:07,972 --> 00:35:10,600
l suppose that's something
we'll have to tackle
749
00:35:10,708 --> 00:35:12,175
in our next social lesson.
750
00:35:17,949 --> 00:35:19,211
Voices?
751
00:35:19,283 --> 00:35:21,342
They're getting louder.
752
00:35:22,753 --> 00:35:24,880
lt won't be long
before l lose you again.
753
00:35:26,624 --> 00:35:28,216
lt's my duty as your physician
754
00:35:28,292 --> 00:35:30,624
to inform you
of an alternative treatment.
755
00:35:30,695 --> 00:35:31,753
What treatment?
756
00:35:31,829 --> 00:35:33,990
Commander Tuvok has
proposed a mind-meld
757
00:35:34,065 --> 00:35:36,431
to help stabilize
your neural pattern.
758
00:35:36,534 --> 00:35:37,899
l had a similar reaction.
759
00:35:38,035 --> 00:35:39,434
lf you don't approve...
760
00:35:39,504 --> 00:35:41,096
What is the probability
of success?
761
00:35:41,205 --> 00:35:42,638
l don't know.
762
00:35:42,707 --> 00:35:44,937
A mind-meld is hardly a
standard medical practice.
763
00:35:45,009 --> 00:35:47,204
Are there any risks to Tuvok?
764
00:35:47,278 --> 00:35:48,836
He could suffer brain damage,
765
00:35:48,913 --> 00:35:51,677
but he's confident he'll
be able to break the meld
766
00:35:51,749 --> 00:35:53,649
before that happens.
767
00:35:53,718 --> 00:35:55,913
Even if we do
shut down the vinculum,
768
00:35:55,987 --> 00:35:57,955
it may not be enough.
769
00:35:58,089 --> 00:36:00,489
lf Tuvok can do
anything to help me...
770
00:36:00,591 --> 00:36:01,888
l understand.
771
00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:04,757
Doctor...
772
00:36:04,829 --> 00:36:08,162
you have shown
a great deal of patience.
773
00:36:08,232 --> 00:36:09,927
Not at all.
774
00:36:10,034 --> 00:36:14,596
lnform the crew that l am
also grateful for their efforts.
775
00:36:14,705 --> 00:36:17,367
You'll be able
to tell them yourself afterward.
776
00:36:18,976 --> 00:36:19,874
Seven!
777
00:36:19,977 --> 00:36:21,069
Voices!
778
00:36:21,145 --> 00:36:22,407
Concentrate.
779
00:36:23,948 --> 00:36:25,882
Focus on the sound of my voice.
780
00:36:25,950 --> 00:36:27,747
Get them out, please!
781
00:36:28,986 --> 00:36:30,010
l can't...
782
00:36:31,556 --> 00:36:32,818
l can't...
783
00:36:32,890 --> 00:36:35,518
No! No!
784
00:36:54,345 --> 00:36:55,403
Report.
785
00:36:55,479 --> 00:36:57,413
The alien vessel
is coming about.
786
00:36:57,481 --> 00:36:58,948
They're charging weapons.
787
00:36:59,016 --> 00:37:00,540
Shields.
788
00:37:05,456 --> 00:37:07,481
As if the meld weren't
dangerous enough,
789
00:37:07,558 --> 00:37:10,322
the aliens are trying
to take the vinculum by force.
790
00:37:10,394 --> 00:37:12,157
Commander Chakotay
is at tactical.
791
00:37:12,230 --> 00:37:13,925
The Captain wants
you here with Seven.
792
00:37:13,998 --> 00:37:16,432
This will allow me
to monitor your neural activity
793
00:37:16,500 --> 00:37:17,967
for the duration of the meld.
794
00:37:18,035 --> 00:37:19,502
At the first sign of trouble...
795
00:37:19,570 --> 00:37:20,628
You will do nothing.
796
00:37:20,738 --> 00:37:21,966
l beg your pardon?
797
00:37:22,073 --> 00:37:24,405
There will undoubtedly be
many signs of trouble.
798
00:37:24,475 --> 00:37:26,875
You must have faith
in my ability to endure them.
799
00:37:26,978 --> 00:37:28,536
l'll try.
l just hope my faith
800
00:37:28,613 --> 00:37:30,877
doesn't leave the two of you
brain-damaged.
801
00:37:30,948 --> 00:37:32,882
Your concerns
have been noted, Doctor.
802
00:37:33,017 --> 00:37:35,508
With all of these new
personalities floating around,
803
00:37:35,586 --> 00:37:37,486
it's a shame
we can't find one for you.
804
00:37:37,555 --> 00:37:39,819
Computer, deactivate
force field.
805
00:37:43,628 --> 00:37:45,562
Why am l tied to this bed?
806
00:37:45,630 --> 00:37:48,155
Please let me go.
807
00:37:48,232 --> 00:37:50,666
pahtk!
808
00:37:50,768 --> 00:37:52,827
l'll rip out your throat,
coward!
809
00:37:55,339 --> 00:37:56,499
Name your price.
810
00:37:56,607 --> 00:37:57,938
Ten bars of latinum?
811
00:37:58,075 --> 00:37:59,599
Twenty?
812
00:37:59,710 --> 00:38:02,144
This isn't medicine.
lt's torture!
813
00:38:02,246 --> 00:38:04,111
l'll sue for malpractice!
814
00:38:05,750 --> 00:38:09,277
l fail to see the logic
in this meld, Commander.
815
00:38:09,353 --> 00:38:10,752
My mind to your mind.
816
00:38:10,821 --> 00:38:12,448
You are but one mind
confronting thousands.
817
00:38:12,523 --> 00:38:14,252
My thoughts to your thoughts.
818
00:38:14,325 --> 00:38:16,316
You will not succeed.
819
00:38:16,394 --> 00:38:17,827
Your mind to my mind.
820
00:38:17,928 --> 00:38:19,122
Let me go.
821
00:38:19,196 --> 00:38:20,128
My mind to your mind.
822
00:38:20,197 --> 00:38:21,289
The Borg are
assimilating the ship!
823
00:38:21,365 --> 00:38:22,297
We've got to evacuate.
824
00:38:22,366 --> 00:38:23,298
My thoughts
to your thoughts.
825
00:38:23,401 --> 00:38:24,663
-Listen to me!!
-My mind to your mind.
826
00:38:24,769 --> 00:38:25,963
They're trying
to assimilate the ship!
827
00:38:26,070 --> 00:38:27,002
Let me go!
828
00:38:27,071 --> 00:38:29,039
My thoughts to your thoughts.
829
00:38:29,140 --> 00:38:31,108
Where's my mommy? Mommy!
830
00:38:31,208 --> 00:38:33,642
My mind to your mind.
831
00:38:33,711 --> 00:38:34,678
Mommy...
832
00:38:34,745 --> 00:38:39,375
My thoughts to your thoughts.
833
00:38:44,255 --> 00:38:45,620
Seven?
834
00:38:50,695 --> 00:38:52,424
Seven!
835
00:38:58,169 --> 00:38:59,193
Seven!
836
00:39:06,944 --> 00:39:08,844
Seven!
837
00:39:12,917 --> 00:39:14,111
Seven!
838
00:39:22,660 --> 00:39:24,025
Seven!
839
00:39:25,863 --> 00:39:26,852
Seven!
840
00:39:34,271 --> 00:39:36,136
l'm lost! Somebody help me!
841
00:39:36,207 --> 00:39:38,198
Please! l don't like it here!
842
00:39:38,309 --> 00:39:39,571
l want to go home!
843
00:39:39,643 --> 00:39:40,610
l can't find my...
844
00:39:40,711 --> 00:39:42,838
Mommy! Please! Help me!
845
00:39:42,913 --> 00:39:45,245
Please! l don't
want to stay here!
846
00:39:45,316 --> 00:39:46,977
l want to go home!
l don't like it!
847
00:39:47,051 --> 00:39:49,417
Please help me!
l want to go home!
848
00:39:49,487 --> 00:39:52,854
These people are scary!
Please don't go!
849
00:39:52,923 --> 00:39:54,754
Please! Why are you
leaving me here?!
850
00:39:54,825 --> 00:39:56,383
Don't go!
851
00:39:56,460 --> 00:39:58,928
Please! l don't like it here!
852
00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:03,726
Sick Bay to Engineering.
853
00:40:03,801 --> 00:40:05,769
How long until the vinculum's
off-line?
854
00:40:05,836 --> 00:40:08,430
Two, maybe three minutes...
855
00:40:08,539 --> 00:40:11,770
provided Voyager can stay
in one piece for that long.
856
00:40:15,813 --> 00:40:17,644
Shields down to 60 percent.
857
00:40:17,715 --> 00:40:18,841
Evasive maneuvers.
858
00:40:18,916 --> 00:40:20,850
Target their
weapons array.
859
00:40:20,918 --> 00:40:23,113
Targeting systems
are malfunctioning.
860
00:40:23,187 --> 00:40:25,883
We're losing power
to main thrusters.
861
00:40:25,956 --> 00:40:27,082
Shields to 35 percent.
862
00:40:27,158 --> 00:40:29,217
Reroute all available
power to shields.
863
00:40:29,293 --> 00:40:31,227
Chakotay, initiate
manual targeting.
864
00:40:31,295 --> 00:40:32,762
Torres to Bridge.
865
00:40:32,830 --> 00:40:34,491
The vinculum's stopped adapting.
866
00:40:34,565 --> 00:40:36,760
l think the new dampening field
is working.
867
00:40:36,834 --> 00:40:39,462
We should have it disabled
in the next 60 seconds.
868
00:40:39,570 --> 00:40:42,562
Warning. Neurochemical synapses
are destabilizing.
869
00:40:42,673 --> 00:40:44,641
Computer, increase power
to the cortical inhibitors.
870
00:40:44,708 --> 00:40:47,768
Unable to comply. Power
transport systems are off-line.
871
00:40:47,845 --> 00:40:50,279
Tuvok, if you can hear me,
we have to terminate the meld.
872
00:40:50,347 --> 00:40:52,212
Tuvok! Tuvok!
873
00:40:53,417 --> 00:40:55,385
le'raH tuH me'roQ.
874
00:41:09,667 --> 00:41:11,157
Commander?
875
00:41:13,103 --> 00:41:14,468
Commander?
876
00:41:22,446 --> 00:41:23,470
Seven!
877
00:41:23,547 --> 00:41:25,105
Commander?
878
00:41:30,254 --> 00:41:31,721
Seven!
879
00:41:31,789 --> 00:41:34,883
Power output's down
to 29 percent.
880
00:41:34,959 --> 00:41:37,052
22... 17...
881
00:41:41,131 --> 00:41:43,122
Bridge, we just lost
the field emitters.
882
00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:45,464
We took a direct hit
to the power grid.
883
00:41:45,569 --> 00:41:48,367
Stand by. We're switching
to emergency backup.
884
00:41:58,349 --> 00:41:59,509
Seven!
885
00:42:04,221 --> 00:42:06,416
Bridge, the vinculum's
powering up again.
886
00:42:06,490 --> 00:42:08,890
The field emitters
are back on line.
887
00:42:08,993 --> 00:42:09,960
Pull the plug.
888
00:42:13,163 --> 00:42:14,494
lt's working.
889
00:42:14,565 --> 00:42:18,023
Power output down to 19 percent.
890
00:42:18,135 --> 00:42:19,898
13 percent.
891
00:42:22,106 --> 00:42:23,698
Seven!
892
00:42:26,610 --> 00:42:28,077
Seven!
893
00:42:28,178 --> 00:42:30,373
Tuvok!
894
00:42:30,447 --> 00:42:31,846
Seven!
895
00:42:33,417 --> 00:42:35,078
lt's done, Captain.
896
00:42:35,152 --> 00:42:36,779
The vinculum's off-line.
897
00:42:52,269 --> 00:42:54,328
Seven?
898
00:42:54,438 --> 00:42:56,303
Yes.
899
00:42:56,373 --> 00:42:57,863
We have her back, Captain.
900
00:42:57,975 --> 00:42:58,964
Hail the lead vessel.
901
00:42:59,143 --> 00:43:00,906
Tell them we're surrendering
the vinculum.
902
00:43:02,713 --> 00:43:04,681
No response.
903
00:43:04,748 --> 00:43:06,409
Lock onto the damn thing.
904
00:43:06,483 --> 00:43:07,780
Beam it into space.
905
00:43:10,487 --> 00:43:12,580
Transport complete.
906
00:43:14,224 --> 00:43:16,249
They're withdrawing.
907
00:43:16,327 --> 00:43:18,727
Take us out of here, Tom.
Warp 9.
908
00:43:18,796 --> 00:43:19,990
Yes, ma'am.
909
00:43:22,633 --> 00:43:26,592
Captain's Log, Stardate 52356.2.
910
00:43:26,704 --> 00:43:29,138
After nearly a week
of regeneration,
911
00:43:29,206 --> 00:43:32,698
Seven of Nine has finally
recovered from her ordeal.
912
00:43:34,912 --> 00:43:38,905
Neuroprocessor, cortical
receptors, all stable.
913
00:43:38,983 --> 00:43:40,473
She's fit to return to duty.
914
00:43:40,551 --> 00:43:42,314
What about her
other personalities?
915
00:43:42,386 --> 00:43:43,410
Any sign of them?
916
00:43:43,487 --> 00:43:44,579
Those neural patterns
917
00:43:44,655 --> 00:43:46,646
have returned
to their dormant state.
918
00:43:46,724 --> 00:43:49,090
The voices will not return?
919
00:43:50,394 --> 00:43:52,760
l suppose that depends
on your perspective.
920
00:43:52,830 --> 00:43:53,956
You may not hear them,
921
00:43:54,064 --> 00:43:56,362
but l suspect
they'll always be with you.
922
00:43:59,937 --> 00:44:04,431
The members of this crew put
themselves at risk to help me.
923
00:44:04,541 --> 00:44:07,442
l am unsure how to reciprocate.
924
00:44:07,511 --> 00:44:09,376
Let's start
with something small.
925
00:44:09,446 --> 00:44:12,040
Like a recalibration
of the EPS manifolds?
926
00:44:12,116 --> 00:44:14,414
B'Elanna's expecting
you in Engineering.
927
00:44:14,485 --> 00:44:16,680
l will join her shortly.
928
00:44:16,754 --> 00:44:20,451
There is a crew member
l must see first.
929
00:44:24,662 --> 00:44:26,220
These are star charts for
the next three systems
930
00:44:26,296 --> 00:44:27,456
Voyager will pass through.
931
00:44:27,531 --> 00:44:28,725
Familiarize yourself with them.
932
00:44:28,799 --> 00:44:29,891
Understood.
933
00:44:30,034 --> 00:44:33,026
Sociological data regarding
173 Delta Quadrant species.
934
00:44:33,137 --> 00:44:34,069
Study it.
935
00:44:34,138 --> 00:44:35,332
l will.
936
00:44:35,439 --> 00:44:36,371
As Bridge Assistant,
937
00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:37,839
you will find
this information relevant.
938
00:44:37,908 --> 00:44:39,899
Consider it ''assimilated.''
939
00:44:40,010 --> 00:44:41,875
There is one more assignment.
940
00:44:41,945 --> 00:44:44,539
l require your assistance.
941
00:44:44,615 --> 00:44:46,242
Me?
942
00:44:46,316 --> 00:44:50,343
l wish to participate
in recreational activities.
943
00:44:50,421 --> 00:44:51,888
Great.
944
00:44:53,590 --> 00:44:55,148
Kadis-Kot.
945
00:44:55,225 --> 00:44:57,819
lnstruct me how to play.
946
00:44:57,895 --> 00:44:59,795
l will comply.
