Author's note: This is a massive work in progress that started out as an assignment for a Theatre class so it is in script format.
Summary: The time set is approximately one month after the episode "Human Error".
Seven's life is in danger and is forced to undergo the fail-safe procedure that will change her life forever.
Title: Resistance is Futile - Act Ten
---------------
ACT TEN
FADE IN:
INT. SEVEN'S QUARTERS
0430 hours. A few hours have passed since Chakotay entered Seven's quarters. After a night of passion, they both fall asleep in each other's arms. Chakotay wakes up and watches Seven as she begins to regain consciousness.
CHAKOTAY
(smiling)
Good morning... How are you?
SEVEN
Content...I find this closeness pleasurable. How long
have you been awake?
CHAKOTAY
Not long. You looked so peaceful. I didn't want to
disturb you. I just realized something...don't you have
an appointment with the Doctor this morning? He's going
to find out.
SEVEN
Perhaps I could put it off.
CHAKOTAY
That'll only make him more suspicious. You know how
the Doctor is, he'll track you down if you cancel on him.
SEVEN
Commander...
CHAKOTAY
(interrupting)
Chakotay...call me by my name when we're off duty.
SEVEN
(smiling, she acknowledges Chakotay)
The Doctor will respect doctor-patient confidentiality.
However, Voyager is a small ship, the crew will find
out about us. Should we inform the Captain of our
alliance?
CHAKOTAY
I'm not sure if we should say anything just yet. By the
way, down on that planet I caught you looking at me
while I was sleeping. What were you thinking about?
Seven reaches out with her cybernetic hand to touch Chakotay's face.
SEVEN
I was studying your features. You have an intriguing
facial structure.
CHAKOTAY
(smiling)
I'll take that as a compliment.
SEVEN
It is, I find you aesthetically appealing.
CHAKOTAY
Thank you... I find you irresistible.
SEVEN
I'm glad I can please you.
Chakotay tightens his hold on Seven and kisses her intently.
CHAKOTAY
I could stay here with you forever, unfortunately
I need to leave before our relationship becomes
public knowledge. The halls will be filled soon.
Can I interest you in dinner in my quarters tonight?
SEVEN
That will be acceptable.
They share intimacy for a while longer. Chakotay finally gets out of bed, gets dressed and exits Seven's quarters. Seven remains in bed and reflects on the previous events.
A couple hours later, Seven leaves her quarters for sickbay.
INT. SICKBAY
DOCTOR
Good morning Seven.
Seven acknowledges the Doctor and gingerly sits up on the biobed for examination. The Doctor runs his medical tricorder over her, stops and looks at his patient.
DOCTOR
I thought I told you to get a good night sleep.
SEVEN
I'm fine doctor.
DOCTOR
No you're not Seven. My readings indicate your
electrolyte levels are down, your hippocampus is
in a state of agitation, and your red blood cell count
is down... Your nanoprobes should be compensating
for the loss, but they're not. However, your hormonal
levels are elevated. I can't imagine why, can you?
Are you feeling any fatigue, pain or discomfort?
SEVEN
Yes Doctor. These symptoms have been increasing in
frequency over the past week. Why is it happening?
DOCTOR
I'm not sure. I'm going to run a few tests. I'll contact
you when I have the results. For the time being, you
need to get some sleep. Alone!
SEVEN
I cannot comply. I have duties to attend to and I have a
date tonight.
DOCTOR
With the Commander?
SEVEN
(hesitating)
Yes Doctor. I trust you'll respect doctor-patient
confidentiality?
DOCTOR
Of course Seven. I know you care for the Commander
but I must insist you get an uninterrupted night of sleep.
There's plenty of time for romance. I want to re-examine
you first thing tomorrow. If the results are unchanged then,
I'll have to inform the Captain. For some reason, your
body is losing energy and I can't explain why. Until we
know what's causing this, you need to conserve your
energy. As your physician I'm giving you a direct order,
do you understand?
SEVEN
(feeling inconvenienced)
Yes Doctor.
As the Doctor walks away Seven jumps off the biobed and stumbles. She is briefly disoriented. She looks around and realizes the Doctor didn't witness the event. She regains her composure and exits sickbay.
EXT. VOYAGER ORBITING M-CLASS PLANET (OPTICAL)
JANEWAY
(V.O.)
"Captain's Log supplemental. Our meeting with the Borg resistance was successful. General Korok's plan is promising but there is some concern regarding the sacrifice of some drones at the expense of rendering the Queen powerless. As far as Voyager's role, we are to distract the Queen long enough for General Korok to transport an away team to infiltrate the vessel. With the help of the Resistance, our shields have been upgraded to give Voyager a better defense. Once aboard the Queen's vessel, the Resistance will blend in with the rest of the drones and gain access to the primary unicomplex. Once the nanovirus is deployed, we will receive confirmation when the liberated drones have taken over the Queen's vessel. In the meantime, we've offered the Borg resistance the use of our holodecks so they may conduct simulations to perfect their plan of attack. Computer...end log.
As permitted, a group of liberated drones transport to Voyager to create simulations to perfect their strategies. As instructed by Captain Janeway, B'Elanna and Harry are to make the resistance more acquainted with the holodeck features.
INT. HOLODECK 1
GENERAL KOROK
We should disengage the safety protocols to make
this simulation more realistic.
B'ELANNA
Those safety protocols are there for a reason. If they're
disengaged someone could get hurt or even killed.
GENERAL KOROK
You're supposed to be a Klingon! What happened to
your warrior spirit?
B'ELANNA
Half Klingon! My warrior spirit is about to give birth
to this baby. I'm in no mood for a confrontation with
you or anybody. It's either this way or no way, do you
understand?
HARRY
I don't think it's a good idea to upset her right now.
GENERAL KOROK
(amused)
A Klingon female expecting a child is the most
dangerous warrior of all. As you wish, we will leave
the safety protocols on.
HARRY
(relieved)
I've programmed your simulations. Let me know
if you need any modifications.
A few hours later, the Borg resistance are back onboard their sphere which is now in orbit alongside Voyager.
In Astrometrics Lab, Seven of Nine is scanning her long range sensors for approaching Borg vessels where she is visited by Captain Janeway.
INT. ASTROMETRICS LAB
JANEWAY
Any sign of Borg activity?
SEVEN
Yes, two vessels have been detected. I believe they
are part of the Resistance. They should be in communication
range in 12 hours.
Just as the Captain acknowledges the last statement, Seven staggers and almost loses her balance. Janeway is quick to grab Seven's arm.
JANEWAY
(worried)
Seven, what is it?
SEVEN
(trying to regain her orientation)
Nothing Captain, I'm just a little tired.
JANEWAY
Have you reported this to the Doctor?
SEVEN
The Doctor is planning on running some tests tomorrow.
JANEWAY
(concerned)
I'm relieving you of duty until further notice.
SEVEN
Captain, I'm fine. The Resistance needs me right now.
JANEWAY
I don't care what the Resistance needs. I'm restricting
you to your quarters. I'll get Icheb in here to take over
your shifts. Get some rest, that's an order. I'll check
in on you later.
SEVEN
(frustrated)
Yes Captain.
Seven exits Astrometrics and heads for her quarters where she is visited by Chakotay.
INT. SEVEN'S QUARTERS
door chime
SEVEN
Come in.
CHAKOTAY
(worried)
What happened? The Captain said you had a dizzy
spell.
SEVEN
That is correct.
CHAKOTAY
Is this because of last night?
SEVEN
(smiling)
No. I've been experiencing some symptoms for the last
couple of weeks which seem to be increasing in frequency.
I'm sure it's nothing to be concerned about.
CHAKOTAY
I disagree. You've been through a great deal the past
couple of months. You may be pushing yourself too hard.
You need a good night sleep.
SEVEN
Does this mean you're canceling our date?
CHAKOTAY
No, it means I'm putting it off until you're up to it. I
don't want you to get worse.
SEVEN
Perhaps you're right.
On that note, they embrace but are soon interrupted by a visitor.
door chime
CHAKOTAY
Don't answer it.
door chime
SEVEN
I have to... Come in.
Seven and Chakotay stand apart as the door opens.
JANEWAY
I was just checking to see how you were feeling.
CHAKOTAY
Uh...I was just leaving... Feel better Seven.
Kathryn, I'll see you on the Bridge.
Seven looks at Chakotay as he exits. Janeway is suspicious.
JANEWAY
I know resting is new to you, but you need to conserve
your energy until the Doctor can determine what's
causing your symptoms. Get some sleep. If you feel
any better tomorrow, I'll return you to duty.
SEVEN
Thank you Captain.
JANEWAY
Seven...one last thing. If you need to talk about anything,
and I do mean anything, my door is always open.
Janeway touches Seven's arm, smiles and exits. Seven turns towards her Captain and acknowledges her.
FADE OUT.
