Annika swallowed. They were going to have to pass through a section of Borg space to get to a place where they could pass through Borg space safely.
"Captain," Tom suddenly said. "I'm picking up a lot of Borg ships coming from behind us."
"On screen." Janeway ordered.
Annika watched as the viewscreen changed to show a huge fleet of Borg Cubes flying towards them.
She heard Commander Chakotay let out a whispered prayer.
Annika closed her eyes for a moment. The end was near. She opened them again and watched as the Cubes blew passed them.
Her mouth hung open as she watched the Cubes continue on ahead of them. Suddenly one stopped and scanned them. Annika felt her heart pound in her chest.
Then the Cube pulled away and headed after it's friends.
"Why didn't they assimilate us?" The words left Annika's lips before she could stop them. "I have no idea." Commander Chakotay answered her.

Annika took a deep breath has she followed Commander Chakotay and a group of others into Cargo Bay Two. It was filled with Borg things and several Borg drones.
A female Borg Drone stood in the middle of the mess, watching them make their approach.
Annika found herself staring at the Borg, trying to place where she had seen her before.
"Lieutenant," she jumped at the sound of the commander's voice. "Let's go."

Chakotay took a deep breath before entering the link with the Borg Drone.
"Hello, five of twelve." He said through their link. "I can see all of your life before me. Your name's Erin. I see you holding a newborn daughter. You are so happy to have such a beautiful daughter. You left her behind to study the Borg with your husband. When the Borg assimilated you you knew that the next time you saw your daughter it would be as a Borg Drone. As they assimilated you you thought of your daughter and how glad you were that you didn't bring her with you. Her name is . . . Annika."
