There we were, minding our own business, taking stellar maps and doing scientific resesrch in the Jaka Sector when suddenly our problems started.
"Something is opening up in space ahead of us" announces Data, "It appears to be a transwarp signature."
We all look at each other, as we know the sort of trouble that is; the Borg are going to turn up, and that doesn't usually involve a friendly hello.
A Borg Cube suddenly appears and we are locked in a tractor beam. This is the Starfleet equivilant of having a bad day at the office.
Suddenly, we are hailed and the videoscreen comes on.
The Borg Queen.
"Good morning, Locutus." she says to me, as if she is the boss in a top company addressing one of her lowly employees, "It is good to see you again."
"I am Captain Picard!" I firmly tell her.
"Yes, yes, of course you are, Locutus" she continues, not really listening to me, "I've got a fine task for you to do for me."
"I don't do jobs for the Borg" I angily tell her, in my best Starfleet-Captain voice, although I know it's not likely to get me anywhere here. The Borg Queen is not the sort of creature that one can have a meaningful discussion and persuade her that she might be wrong.
"Oh, I think you will, Locutus" she calmly tells me, "It's either do this simple little task, or we assimilate the Enterprise. That wouldn't go down on your record, would it?"
"What is it?" I grudgingly ask her, knowing that I'll have to end up going through with it.
"I just want to take one of our people on board the Enterprise so that she, and the Borg can learn about human behaviour."
"That's ridiculous." I say.
A Borg drone beams on to the Bridge.
"This is Seven Of Nine from Unimatrix 01" announces the Borg Queen, "You will treat her as a member of the crew; you will not attempt to harm her or change her into a human. Should you try, we will come and assimilate you and other Federation vessels."
"How long are we stuck with...I mean is she meant to be with us?" I ask.
"Not very long, Locutus" she tells me, "We are preparing her for a mission in the Delta Quadrant; it will be good for Seven. She always wins the 'Miss Borg' Beauty Pageant. Maybe I'll have a chance to win now."
I look at the drone; she sneers at me.
"Remember, Locutus," says the Borg Queen, "Don't harm her; she's a member of your crew."
The videoscreen goes off, the tractor beam is released, and the Borg Cube vanishes via transwarp.
"What do we do now?" Riker asks me.
"I'm not sure, Number One. I say, "Perhaps we ought to welcome our new crew member?"
We turn to greet Seven of Nine.
"Welcome to the Enterprise." I say to her, "We hope you'll be happy here."
"Happiness is irrelevant!" she tells me, "The Borg are supreme."
Oh dear.

Well, isn't she just all warm and fuzzy.
I think a private room is in order for 7 of 9, it really would be cruel and unusual punishment to make one of your crew room with her. Or maybe you could just stick her in a closet, she might not know the difference
Wow, a good skin care regimine would help with all of that stuff on her face. YIKES!
I just love 7 of 9! Thanks for including the Voyager crew one member at a time...you are a true friend. ;)
I think you're going to have to worry about being assimilated no matter what happens. She will be introduced to chocolate and will never want to leave humans again.
Maybe that's what will save you from the Borg.
That was a threat? Wasn't it? How dare she threat.
This isn't looking too good!!!
Have a great day!!!
Hi!
Thanks for dropping by and playing - sorry it took me a day to log on and see your email.
Life's like that, little things get in the way, as it seems you know!
Seeing all those machines gives me bad memories!
Oh no! The Borg!!
She must cheat at the "Miss Borg" contest. Maybe the judges don't know about her photo spread in Borg Illustrated - Swimsuit Edition.
In case you're interested, I've just updated my blog.

Just put her on cleaning detail in the cargo bays. Logic dictates that she wil have to learn to obey you if she is meant to truly simulate human behaviour.
I would also recommend openly defecating whenever she is around to confuse her.
When she goes back to her ship and does the same thing, all the other borgs will copy her.
See how the queen likes that...
Did you know that my son's middle name is Riker? Yes...after THAT Riker. It was my daughter's idea!
Oh dear God, it looks like they're back to raise hell in their own unique, chilling way. Sure, they know how to assimilate people, but they still haven't discovered a way to rid the funky coloured eczema off their faces, or is that decomposing flesh? Anyway, all this posts are quite entertaining, all you have to do is ignore the people who tells the rest of us to stick strictly to canon and lighten up and enjoy this show :)
