Naomi Wildman was in her quarters working on her homework lessons and had gotten most of them done. There were some tough questions on Borg stuff that were giving her trouble. Just then Neelix walked in. "Hey there Naomi, have you got your homework done?", said Neelix. "Yes but I'm having some trouble with these questions on Borg stuff", said Naomi. "Well why don't you ask Seven or some of the other former Borg children, I'm sure they would be happy to help", said Naomi. "Hey that's great Neelix", said Naomi. "That's what Godfather's are for", said Neelix. Naomi got up and was going to go out to ask Seven right away. "But remember Naomi only ask them if they are not busy", said Neelix. "Right" , said Naomi as she exited her quarters.
As Naomi walked down the corridors to Cargo Bay 2 she remembered she always had a curious fascination about Borg technology. She finally found Cargo Bay 2 and found that Seven and the former Borg children were busy in their alcoves regenerating. That is something else Naomi had always wondered about. How the Borg regenerated in their alcoves. She also wondered if it would work for her if she tried to use an alcove. She decided to come back later when seven and the other kids were gone and she would test out her thought.
Later Naomi came back to Cargo Bay 2 and found it to be empty. Naomi then accessed the computer. "Computer Access the operation perimeters of Mezoti's Regeneration alcove", said Naomi. She had watched Seven do this before so she was almost an expert. "Set operation perimeters to that of Naomi Wildman", said Naomi. "Perimeters set", said the computer. Naomi had set the operation perimeters of Mezoti's alcove to fit her perimeters. Naomi was nervous as she stepped onto the platform. She turned so that her back was facing the alcove. She walked back until she was standing in the alcove. She heard a sound that was the sound of a someone being connected to an alcove and felt it to as her body straightened out until it looked as straight as Mezoti's when she regenerated. She could feel a sleep-like calmness come over her. She could also feel the energy and nutrients being transferred from the alcove into her body. She could feel her energy and nutrients being replaced. She felt this all in a short while before slipping into a sleep-like state that seven said was what happens when she regenerates.
8 hours later the regeneration cycle ended and Naomi felt herself being disconnected from the alcove and hearing the sound that followed it. Her thought had been successful. She had regenerated in a Borg Regeneration alcove and she could feel her energy and nutrients replenished. She was in so much enjoyment that she did not see Mezoti walk into Cargo Bay 2 and as soon as she saw Naomi by the Alcove she asked, "Naomi Wildman, What are you doing by the alcove?". Naomi looked at Mezoti with a face full of fear.
