Chapter 241
.
Poseidon seemed a bit dissapointed that Han and the others didn't return with the jewels to control the dark water. Still, Bloth was dead, the dark water couldn't be controlled by any of his other enemies. Poseidon kept his word, told Han where Jacen was, and used his influence to retrieve those from Elizabeth's crew who had died in the battle. It seemed that Jacen was living amongst former borg drones, led by Hugh. Hugh had been seperated from the collective, rescued by the starship Enterprise under command of Picard. Hugh developed individuality, refused to forcibly assimilate his new friends. But he then sacrificed himself by returning to the collective, but they couldn't erease his individuality this time. It became an infection for the Borg, they disconnected this ship rather than let the infection spread. Now, in Hell, these former drones had free will. But many could not handle this, they tried to recreate the collective. Others resisted, and Hugh became their leader. Han had some hope from this, that Jacen was fighting to help others keep their freedom, their soul. Maybe Jacen could be redeemed. There was hope for him.
