"Malcolm to The Doctor." Malcolm stated, tapping his comm.
"What?" The Doctor replied, annoyed at the constant intrusions.
"Do you mind if I come and watch?"
"I'm a doctor, not a view screen."
"Please?"
"Fine. But stay out of the way."
["Score!"]
Malcolm walked into sickbay. The Doctor was just getting his hyposprays ready.
"Malcolm!" He said, startled, "How did you get here so quick?"
Malcolm turned slightly and pointed to the door, "I was waiting outside."
The Doctor rolled his holographic eyes, "I need to begin the procedure. Don't touch anything."
"Where is Reese?"
"Right here." The Doctor replied, pointing to Five/Reese, who was lying on a biobed, unconscious.
["Holy shit! That look much more painful in person!"]
The Doctor stepped through the force field around Five. It shimmered as he walked through, not being stopped because he was a hologram. He pulled a hypospray from his roll cart. Tapping buttons on the side, he injected it into Five's neck.
"What's that?" Malcolm asked, peering over The Doctor's shoulder.
The Doctor sighed, "Stop glaring over my shoulder and I'll tell you." Malcolm walked to The Doctor's side, "This is a hypospray that will help Reese's immune system to reject the Borg implants."
"But wouldn't the immune system naturally reject the implants."
The Doctor looked over to Malcolm, wearing the biggest grin he had ever worn. It's not every day he got to teach someone the fine art of de-assimilation.

"So, what would you like?" Neelix asked as he and Dewey walked into the mess hall. It was a little less full than it normally was. People were reluctant to eat there until the Wilkersons were gone.
"What do you have?"
"Well, since Lieutenant Torres repaired our replicator earlier, you can have anything you want."
"Anything?"
"Anything… a-as long I get it for you."
"Do you have brownies."
"I can get some for you."
"With chocolate chips?"
"Certainly… I wouldn't have it any other way."
"And chocolate fudge?"
"Uh… sure."
"And a cold milk!"
"You can't have brownies with out milk!" Neelix replied, "Anything else?" Dewey shook his head. Neelix walked over to the replicator and ordered Dewey's snack. "This is going to be easier than I thought."
