New Voyager Episode

After Renaissance Man, but before Endgame.

So what's going on in my story:

Seven and Chakotay are closer after their experience with the Ventu. Harry still has feelings for Seven, but still doesn't act on them. The Doctor has admitted his feelings for Seven. The captain knows about Harry's and the Doctor's feelings and she noticed a change in Chakotay's attitude toward Seven, but she contributes it to them being stranded together on that planet. Tom and B'Elanna know Harry and the Doctor's feelings. Harry knows about the Doctor's feelings and vice versa and are therefore both jealous of each other. Seven is ignoring feelings that go beyond friendship after her experience with the Borg fail safe device (as revealed in Human Error from season 7).

So now that we know that there are 3 love interests for Seven, lets add a fourth just to shake things up. Happiness, love, jealousy, confusion, uncertainty, pressure, and humor ensues.

Voyager was happily traveling through space on a course for the Alpha Quadrant. Suddenly sensors started beeping. The captain stopped talking about the Ventu with Chakotay, who seemed to be trying to bring Seven into the conversation by asking her opinions.

"Report," said Janeway straightening in her chair and looking over to Ensign Kim.

"Sensors are picking up an opening in fluidic space, Captain."

"Red alert. Charge weapons," ordered Janeway rising from her chair.

"Sensors are also detecting a ship and it's big," said Harry.

"Species 8472," asked Janeway.

"Negative Captain," said Tuvok in his monotone voice.

"Captain the ship has a transwarp signature," said Harry double checking the sensors praying they were wrong.

"Borg? How's that possible? I thought only species 8472 knew how to travel through fluidic space?"

Janeway looked to Seven for answers.

"You are correct. The only explanation is that the Borg have assimilated them and their knowledge."

Janeway was overwhelmed by a feeling of dread as was the entire bridge crew.

"Captain the ship is coming out."

"On screen."

Everyone looked up at the screen and watched as a Borg sphere exited fluidic space and dropped out of transwarp. Janeway looked at Tuvok.

"Have they detected us?"

Tuvok checked the sensors.

"They have Captain, but they are not charging weapons."

"What," Janeway exclaimed more than a little confused.

"Maybe they are not interested in us," said Harry doubting every word coming out of his mouth.

"Or maybe they have decided not to mess with us," said Tom trying to lighten the mood.

"Captain they're hailing," said Harry.

"Me and my wishful thinking," murmured Tom.

"On screen," said Janeway ignoring Tom's comments.

A drone appeared on the view screen. The bridge crew prepared for the standard Borg greeting about being assimilated, but that was not what they received.

"Greetings Captain Janeway. It is a pleasure seeing you again."

Janeway was shocked along with the rest of the crew, who looked to her for an explanation. Finally, Janeway found her voice.

"I'm sorry I don't believe we've met."

The drone smiled.

"Yes we have. You just don't recognize me."

The drone looked at something beyond Janeway's shoulder.

"Hello Annika."

Everyone turned to Seven, who had her mouth a gap and was staring as if she had seen a ghost.

"Axum," was all she said.

Janeway quickly jerked her head to look at the drone on the screen again. Finally she saw the man she had met at Unimatrix Zero underneath all the Borg technology. Janeway looked at Seven again, who was still in a state of shock.

"Oh my," was all Janeway could say.
