Summary: By popular demand, this is the sequel to Resistance Is Futile. It's been a month since Seven of Nine has recovered from her re-assimilation. She is fully healed and has returned to her duties. Though appearing to be back to her usual form, she is distracted by images of experiences she has no recollection of.
Title: Resistance Is Futile Pt. 2
ACT THREE
FADE IN:
INT. MESSHALL
It's 1800 hours and Seven enters the messhall to find Chakotay waiting for her at an empty table. As Seven approaches, Chakotay rises from his chair to greet the ex-drone.
CHAKOTAY
I've taken the liberty in replicating some dinner for us, I hope that's acceptable.
SEVEN
It is sufficient...thank you.
CHAKOTAY
Please....Have a seat.
Seven takes the seat across from Chakotay and places a napkin on her lap. She's more nervous than hungry and is unable to eat.
CHAKOTAY
What's wrong?
SEVEN
How involved were we?
Chakotay is taken by surprise by Seven's directness.
CHAKOTAY
What do you mean?
SEVEN
Were we lovers?
CHAKOTAY
(almost choking on his food)
Do you really want me to answer that right now?
SEVEN
No. You don't need to anymore. Goodnight Commander.
Seven stands up and begins to walk away. Chakotay grabs her arm before she is able to escape.
CHAKOTAY
Seven...please...sit down. I'll tell you whatever you want to know.
Where would you like me to start.
SEVEN
From the beginning will suffice.
As requested, Chakotay started from the beginning. He informed her about their shared vision quest while Seven was in a coma to their first kiss in the cave dwelling to their first and only time making love in her quarters. Seven seemed uncomfortable with the knowledge of their intimate relations but was more concerned about Chakotay's feelings than her own.
SEVEN
This must be difficult for you.
CHAKOTAY
It is. Especially because my feelings for you haven't changed.
SEVEN
I apologize for the pain I've caused you.
CHAKOTAY
You don't owe me an apology. You did nothing wrong.
SEVEN
Commander, I am unsure what it is you expect from me.
CHAKOTAY
I don't expect your feelings to return for me overnight. All I'm
asking for is to spend some time together, to get to know each
other again.
SEVEN
Did the Captain or Doctor inform you of my fail-safe device?
CHAKOTAY
No, what is it?
SEVEN
It's a Borg device within my cortical node that prevents me from
feeling strong emotions. If I achieve a certain amount of emotional stimulus, my cortical node may shut down and endanger my life.
CHAKOTAY
I had no idea. A few months ago when the Doctor removed your
cortical node you were able to experience strong emotions.
SEVEN
I don't recall those emotions but that is correct.
CHAKOTAY
So what are you telling me?
SEVEN
I'm trying to explain to you that it would be dangerous for both
of us to resume our relationship.
CHAKOTAY
I refuse to accept this. Isn't there something the Doctor can do for
you?
SEVEN
(looking sad)
At the present...No.
CHAKOTAY
(smiling slightly)
Well then, until there's a treatment, we'll just get to know each other
as friends if that's okay with you.
SEVEN
It is an acceptable arrangement.
On that note they continue eating their perspective meals.
2200 hours. Seven enters cargo bay 2 and prepares for regeneration.
INT. CARGO BAY TWO
SEVEN
Computer...begin regeneration cycle.
Seven steps up and positions herself in her alcove. Within seconds her eyes close and her regeneration commences.
After an hour of regenerating, Seven's eyes begin to move below her eyelids.
INT. CREW QUARTERS (SEVEN'S DREAM)
The lights are dim and candles are lit. The mood is sensual and so are its occupants. The First Officer and ex-drone are immersed in passionate kisses. Their arms wrapped snuggly around each other's torsos as they continue their journey towards intimate bliss. With their hearts beating faster, their temperatures rise, and knees begin to fall weak. Chakotay guides the object of his affections across the room and lowers her onto the bed. He reaches behind her neck and unfastens the zipper that confines her curvaceous frame. She sits up and removes his tunic, then undershirt leaving him bare chested. He continues to unfasten her one piece biosuit and lowers the material to her waist. They embrace with more force closing any space between them then fall back onto the bed as their kisses deepen and their hands begin their exploration of each other. Seven lets out a soft moan and arches her back as her partner continues to pleasures her.
"Regeneration cycle incomplete", says the ships computer.
Seven's regeneration cycle is disrupted once more as her eyes open.
Seven steps down from her alcove and notices she is covered in sweat. Concerned about the current images and sensations, Seven leaves her domain and heads for sickbay. This time the Doctor is there working.
INT. SICKBAY
The door swishes open and a frazzled Seven enters sickbay.
DOCTOR
Seven, its 0300 hours, are you okay?
As Seven approaches the Doctor, he notices her perspiration and automatically pulls out his medical tricorder to scan his favorite ex-Borg protégé. When his scan is complete, his eyebrows arch in amusement.
SEVEN
(concerned)
What is it Doctor?
DOCTOR
It seems your hormone levels are elevated. What have you been
doing this evening?
SEVEN
Regenerating...why?
DOCTOR
According to these readings, you're sexually aroused.
SEVEN
(embarrassed)
This can't be. Are you sure I'm not malfunctioning?
DOCTOR
I'm sure Seven. You're perfectly fine. Did you have another dream?
SEVEN
(blushing)
Yes.
DOCTOR
I see...well, I'm no expert in this field but as Lieutenant Paris would
Say...you need a cold shower.
SEVEN
(annoyed)
Is that you're only advise for me? Can't you give me something to
block these sensations?
DOCTOR
Seven, there's nothing wrong with you. I have no course of treatment. You'll just have to find a way to occupy yourself.
SEVEN
Very well. Please don't discuss this with anyone.
DOCTOR
(smiling)
You have my word Seven.
On that note, Seven exits sickbay and heads for the messhall where she approaches a food replicator.
INT. MESSHALL
SEVEN
Computer...one piece of New York Cheesecake.
Seven retrieves a plate containing the dessert and sits at a table, which is partially in the dark. Due to the hour, the messhall is empty. Seven pulls out a PADD and begins to review her assignments for the day.
But she is not alone for long. From a distance, Captain Janeway enters the messhall and retrieves a cup of coffee. She looks over and notices Seven.
JANEWAY
I thought I was the only one with insomnia. Is everything okay?
SEVEN
Yes Captain.
JANEWAY
So, what brings you here at this dreadful hour?
SEVEN
I had problems regenerating. I went to see the Doctor and he
recommended I try to occupy myself.
JANEWAY
(smiling)
With a piece of cheesecake? That should do it. Is your alcove malfunctioning?
SEVEN
No.
JANEWAY
Did you have another dream?
Seven looks up at her Captain and begins to blush.
SEVEN
I'd rather not discuss it.
Sensing her discomfort, Janeway decides to back off and offer another suggestion.
JANEWAY
(smiling)
Well, taken that neither of us is able to sleep. How about a game
of velocity? It has less calories than that piece of cheesecake and it'll
keep us both occupied. What do you say?
SEVEN
Sounds like a reasonable option. I will join you.
Both women exit the messhall and head for the holodeck.
